    New Song - Any Critiques Welcome (Reupload)

    LOL - I didn't have stage fright exactly, but the first few live gigs, I played bass keeping my back to the audience while facing the drummer. As more lighting was used, I was unable to see the audience and began facing them. Eventually, I got over it and liked looking out at them while...

    New Song - Any Critiques Welcome (Reupload)

    The intro flashed me back to Motown - you're still there 8-) Specifically, Archie Bell & The Drells - Tighten Up The lead vocal was definitely the weak point here. He's too bashful - lacks assertiveness.

    The process

    This is interesting as far as the songwriting process goes. Some of mine have taken years to write and I currently have several stuck in limbo looking for just the right lyrics or catchy phrases . . hooks? Anyway, here's (Guess Who & BTO) Randy Bachman's story about one of his biggest hits...

    Discovered an analysis feature

    I just inadvertently tripped across something in Windows 11 - I have no idea if this is a Win 11 or Reaper or Google Chrome thing. . . they're intertangled. See if you can follow me on this . . . My situation involves Reaper renders and Win 11. Go to the System Search bar next to the Windows...

    New Song - Any Critiques Welcome (Reupload)

    I like the song. I hear the influence in the bass - it needs more movement - variation. Upping the song tempo a little would help some, but the bass needs to move up to it. @Steenamaroo's Sweet Jane song reference is a nice example (I'm thinking of the Cowboy Junkies' slow version) - I would...

    How about this? Chinese multi-effects unit that appears to be the same as the old Alesis Microverb 4

    Thanks, Rob . . . and this reminded me of my first reverb unit back in my old analog bedroom studio in the late 80's - early 90's. I bought the (original?) Alesis MIDIVERB - a tiny little thing it was. Being my first dive into external FX processors, I was satisfied with it's sounds...

    Interesting new Spring Reverb

    The dimensions could accommodate a set of springs and coils, but you're right . . . this is Behringer, after all.

    New Song - Any Critiques Welcome (Reupload)

    I like the backing vocal at :59 - and I'm getting a nice Lou Reed vibe off the whole thing. It's not as smooth, but the vibe is there. I'd bump the BPM up 1 or 2 and see how it feels.

    Where has my Panning knob gone

    A disappearing Pan Knob could be the result of changing Versions (6.x to 7.x or 5.x), or making changes in the Theme Adjuster. Sometimes, if it's disappeared from only a single track, it could be from adjusting the Track Control's size.

    Adding powered subwoofer with satellite speakers

    Since I upgraded from XP to Win 10 and installed Reaper with an interface to kick off my bedroom studio venture at my previous residence, I've recently moved up to a new Win 11 system and, though I've got some fairly good monitors, I've had the itch to add some stereo speakers for checking mixes...

    Floating Mixer

    Is this what you're after? These do extend to the right, and the scroll bar at the bottom will slide them back and forth (or just left-click the track control of the one you want to see and it will appear at the right side of the floating window). I'm using the 7.x Version, so whatever...
