The Fall Of Our Kind

Intro:

Verse 1:
In the shadows of the city
Concrete meets the sky
A super symphony of progress 
Where humanity starts to die

Verse 2:
Neon lights and flashing screens
We’re blinded by the globe
Lost in a digital dream
As our souls begin to erode

Chorus:
The fall of our kind
With our new elected we're left behind
All of our kind, we must fall
And we'll leave all that behind
Leave ourselves behind
 
Verse 3:
We were born to be wild
Now we're just caged animals
But the concrete city
Answer to the cold winds cattle call
Oh ooh ooooh

Repeat Chorus:
Guitar Solo:
Repeat Verse 2 as Bridge:

Repeat Chorus x 2:
Keys solo:
Outro:

Nobody else wants them, not even my collaborators. 😉 

At least Macca is still around.

He's arguably the last 20th Century Pop Musical Genius still alive.

I thought that was what all the knobs and switches on a bazz did!

Updated mix today with Bitflipper on keys.

 I forgot. Nothing seems to have changed though except the push for subs, and I see more complaints about bugs and crashing. Stability used to be their claim to fame.

You can buy outright or get a sub. Something for everyone.

I'm fully up to date and almost never have a crash. Then again, I have the "Top O' The Line" Studio Cat PlatinumStudioMAX with all SSDs

Very cool 🤘

Thanks Old Joad

Top Drawer as usual Nigel. Loved it.

I too just did not even go to the IK site. I assumed you could not use Jambpointz.

For gits and shiggles I attempted to buy it there this morning. It's either jampoints or the $100  (if you have it, which I do, now useless 😞 )

Purchased!

(will) Installed! (tomorrow)

Well, Well, Well.

It finally arrived.

I Want To Hold Your Hand - The Lads From Liverpool

This was the groundbreaker that setup all rock groundbreakers to come:

Hendrix - Purle Haze
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
Yes - Roundabout
Bowie - Ziggy Stardust
Beck - all of Blow By Blow
et. al.

Superior 3 was updated too.

My Dad (RIP) would have loved this one. Excellent all the way around. Not one crit here.

Tons of fun Steve.

Good cover whilst going for how the song was originally sone. Bass needs to be stronger IMO (says the bass player 😉). 

Vocal was excellent.

Unbroken Oath

(Verse 1)
The winds may howl, the ground may shake,
But we don’t bend, we never break.
The lines were drawn in blood and stone,
This house still stands, we’re not alone.

(Pre-Chorus)
They scream for change, they tear it down,
But we won’t bow, we hold our ground.
A vow was made, a truth so strong,
We’ll stand our post, we’ll right the wrong!

(Chorus)
Unbroken oath, the fire burns,
Through rising tides, the wheel still turns!
We walk the path, the old remains,
Through storm and strife, we hold the chain!

(Verse 2)
The world may twist, the rules may fade,
But honor's debt is never paid.
A thousand voices cry for more,
But we defend the ancient core!

(Pre-Chorus)
They scream for change, they tear it down,
But we won’t bow, we hold our ground.
A vow was made, a truth so strong,
We’ll stand our post, we’ll right the wrong!

(Chorus)
Unbroken oath, the fire burns,
Through rising tides, the wheel still turns!
We walk the path, the old remains,
Through storm and strife, we hold the chain!

(Bridge)
No retreat! No surrender!
Stand as one, forever stronger!
No retreat! No surrender!
Break the weak, we will remember!

(Final Chorus)
Unbroken oath, the fire burns,
Through rising tides, the wheel still turns!
We walk the path, the old remains,
Through storm and strife, we hold the chain!

Happy Day Today Gregy

Doesn't the Backup/Restore Settings feature in preferences work with these interfaces?

I don't have these exact ones, but the last time I used them to switch between my RME and Focusrite, it worked fine.

TBH I've never used Backup/Restore Settings feature in preferences. I'll give that a try. Thanks.
