Totally. I battle this myself, as I also record MIDI via an e-kit into a DAW. You should have some way to adjust the velocity either at the drum module itself, or after, inside your DAW, or a bit of both. In Superior Drummer, I can adjust things much like this video, with a 'curve'...

Really good song dachay2tnr. Catchy melodies, good chord structure, the whole 9 yards. I agree with TripleM about the drums. The kick is kinda hit and miss, sometimes it's quite loud, and then it just vanishes.

Cool, sounds fun. You can PM me a link if you like, or post it here, whatever works.

Arv: Thanks very much for the listen. Looking forward to hearing your compositions! dachay2tnr: It isn't totally my genre either, but the singer I'm working with tends to gravitate towards the heavier rock kinda stuff, so I've been trying to write that way lately. Appreciate the listen...

We are in opposite lands, it seems. I'm using brass virtual instruments that I don't like, while you have real brass that sounds great! You have guitar virtual instruments that you don't like, but I don't use because I am primarily a guitar player - so I can't suggest any. I'd be willing to...

Wow, I could tell the lead guitar wasn't real , but then assumed (incorrectly) that most of it was sampled. You don't often hear real brass, at least in my Internet travels. You captured it very well. There is this sax player, that puts out his case every other day here in town. Playing all...

Sophisticated composition with well arranged instruments. I like the long intro before the vocals enter. Mix sounds good, the stereo separation and sound stage is big. I thought maybe it was a bit low end heavy, but as a quick reference, I listened to Steely Dan's 'Dirty Work'. Your overall...

The kick drum is late and the timing is off. Makes it 'sound' like a splice (to me), even though it isn't. The 3rd bar / drum grouping of the chorus. kick / snare kick-kick kick / snare kick-kick kick / snare kick ..... kick (late) The drums in general could be tightened up a bit, aside...

AI makes bots so much more realistic, at least it's good for something. How did they register on this site in the first place? Dragon, do you know?

Nice song dachay2tnr. Something weird between 1:09 and 1:10. Can't tell if it is the kick drum or a splice or what, but the timing 'skips'. You have wonderful vibrato to your voice.

Just for fun. Kinda close, maybe not, dunno.

Compression, EQ, Delay and Reverb. The vocal phrasing reminds me of Viva Las Vegas! I'd name it Elvis.

Glad you got it up and running. I have a brand new, sealed PCI firewire card if it's of any use to you, don't want anything for it. It is a VIA chipset (VT6306) however, which seem to get a mixed bag of results. I have a customer who is running Delta 1010's on Linux. Years ago, I sourced a...

Wow, you really dig into details, which is cool. You're dealing with a dynamic processor which is at the best of times, hard to hear great differences in settings, especially on an electric guitar (I assume?). Plus it's modeled after a real hardware device, so I wouldn't expect that much...

I've seen this scenario play out countless times in my real life job. Kids buy parents an 'Apple' thing, parents don't understand it, kids don't have time or interest to explain it etc. Apples a proprietary piece of garbage operating system even though it is pretty much Linux / Unix, but it...

I do understand the fascination with reviving old gear. I recently put my mothballed HD24 back into action, because I need it for a certain thing. Computer hardware however - It just doesn't stand the test of time. Too many things change, very fast. And being dependent on operating systems...

Agree with Papanate. Sounds like most of the mud is from the guitars. Otherwise, the mix is good. Nice song, reminds me a bit of Big Wreck.

Stevie_M: Thanks for the feedback and checking out the tune. The drums are not programmed. They are played by a drummer friend, via an ATV electronic kit, into a Pearl Mimic, out MIDI into Superior Drummer 3. My sample selection needs some tweaking, I think the snare is a bit fake from a...

I like the song. You have a really interesting voice. I tend to draw comparisons to other artists, so hopefully this is not offensive, but I hear a Bowie vibe to it. Another section that would deviate from the chord pattern would be nice, but I suspect you are probably too invested with the...

If you have a smart phone, you could use that for capturing ideas. There's a bunch of free 'voice recorder' app's out there. I've been using 'Easy Voice Recorder' on Android and it works fine for the 'Oh, I'll remember that' scenario.
