PJH Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 I've just completed the latest track from my upcoming album. It's the title track (Full Circle). This has a Pink Floyd influence but I have tried to make it my own. I pushed the latest version of Sonar fairly hard with this track and I can say that it performed flawlessly. Track count was around 50 plus various vst synths and vst effects (reverbs, compression, delay, modulation etc). No glitches whatsoever. I'm very happy with the DAW. I know that some users have experienced problems but thankfully it's been rock solid for me. The songwriting was a team effort between myself and my good friend Alan Petersen. Alan and I played in a band together when we were still at school (many years ago). He now lives in London, we reconnected and he expressed an interest in getting involved with the writing and some of the playing on this album. Hence the title. The track also features my other good friend, Larry Rose on drums. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark skinner Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Fantastic production and Killer ferformance ! I think you milked each instrument for all they were capable of keeping with the theme and feel of the song. I'm sure it's going to be a Steller album. It's always a "pleasure" to watch Larry's drumming. Looks like he's talking to them telling them to "get ready" I'm fixing to smack you. Highly impressive Loved it .. mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Walsh Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 This is a killer track. I loved the flow and the dynamics. The ending is just fantastic. I loved the tone of the LP especially, but really, everything just shines in this one. I'm looking forward to the album! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping that the album will be a step up from my previous ones! Regarding Larry, he's worked with me on three of my albums (this will be his fourth) and he is one of the best drummers that I've had the pleasure of working with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treesha Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Really beautiful and moving. Excellent playing and tones. Nice to reconnect with your former bandmate and work together again. I think you succeeded in taking the Pink Floyd influence and making the song your own. Good that Sonar performed well for you with so many tracks and vsts. Listening I would not have guessed it had 50 tracks, its very clean and focused. Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
