    Black Bird -major overhaul-

    @Eric V - Thanks Eric , it sure would have been easier to do like the original but I enjoyed hunting the chords. @TalismanRich - I appreciate that .. Not sure about what Sir Paul would think though .. @Serendipity Records - Thanks for the feedback ?I addressed both issues this morning. I...

    Black Bird -major overhaul-

    Hello , I thought I'd have a go at a song every acoustic player I've ever known learned at some point. This is quite a different take on the normal guitar parts. I'm doing it in Eb and using more jazz oriented chords. Yairi and a high strung Aria Pro for the acoustics. Ibanez bass , brush drums...

    Don't wanna go

    This is an Excellant production ! Loved the laid back feel of the e-piano , synth and surely the nice vocals. You keep outdoing yourself. Loved it .. mark

    Reaper and Melodyne

    Thanks Steve. In Cakewalk you can select a clip and apply Melodyne to the single clip in what they call a Region effect. You make your edits and render the clip without having to open Melodyne in the standalone mode. Pretty handy for bass and vocal tracks. I think it requires ARA support to...

    Reaper and Melodyne

    Does Reaper have ARA support that allows you to use Melodyne inside the project like a "region effect" ? mark

    Cakewalk by Bandlab is restructuring !

    Personally I'd go for it. Lots of improvemrnts sinse the X series (that I don't have). All your projects will open in it with all your FX. You never know what might be down the road to keep it alive. Right now Cakewalk by Bandlab is a real pita if you work "offline" though. I'm having to...

    DNA

    Very Cool song ! I liked the stabs with the low bell. You got a nice Floydish feel in this. Very interesting lead guitar FX. Sounds simular to a violin patch I have on an old Zoom pedal without as much of the reversed effect. What did you use on it ? Very effective. Enjoyed it .. mark

    Silver Threads (Demo)

    That is a Powerful feel good song and She sang the hell out of it ! Nice mix and the energy never left . Even the quieter breakdown sections kept me pinned. Loved it .. mark (cool fade out on the video)

    You

    Great opening chord structure with the vocals . Smooth ~ Nice cello breakdown section as well. I thought the entire production was Excellant ! I enjoyed the relaxing groove on this one and the way you slid into the quieter sections. Enjoyed it .. mark

    Fiddle Worm

    Thanks Guys. I've decided not to do anything else to this except for some mild tweeking and some short vocal humming. The link now reflects a mild remix after downloading room correction software. Now I'll have to save up for new strings .. Later .. mark

    Fleetwood Mac - "Dreams" - WTF is this, magic?!

    I know I'm pretty late to the party .. Just wanted to say what an Excellant job you did on the keys. Great tone and they gelled very nicely with the bass. I thought the drums were nice but maybe a little too bright and a little dry. It did sound like I was in the same room with them though...

    Fiddle Worm

    Thanks @RFR , I'm thinking it's pretty close. But .. of course I'll have to mess with a few things that probably No one else would be concearned with. @TripleM , appreciate the listen and comment. The fiddle was real and "borrowed" from a mixing tutorial a fellow Cakewalk user recently sent me...

    Fiddle Worm

    @Bulls Hit , Thank's. And yes , I'm happier with this one than I have been in a long time. I may put some Oohs and Aaas in one section but I don't think I'm going to mess with it much. The drums are MT Power drums. Very easy to use and normally don't need any EQ adjusments etc .. They are...

    Fiddle Worm

    Hello , here's the first mix of a new instrumental I'm finishing up. I Finally got what I think is a good tone on my Ibanez bass and G&L electric. I've saved them both as a track templates so I won't forget what I did. Pretty lean project , 7 tracks total. Thanks for the listen and any...

    Someone Else remix

    Thanks @Eric V and @TripleM . I'm calling this one done and moving on. The link now reflects a mild remix and new master. Lot of the lows were adjusted as well as low mids. Think it's cleaner now. I agree about the piano synth. I was having problems with it and bounced it to audio . So .. I...

    Someone Else remix

    Thanks Guys ! @Bulls Hit , I enjoy doing the bass on busy songs. Always an oppertunity to funk things up a little. @LazerBeakShiek , this was a tough one to mix. I had to cut out quite a few parts on diffferent tracks . I'm surprised it came out soothing at all .. @JAPOV , Thanks for the listen...

    Someone Else remix

    Hello , here's a new one that's an instrumental for now. Acoustic guitars and piano. The electric G&L Tele style guitar was processed in Bias FX using a Les Paul in "guitar match". This works pretty decent if you have only one electric guitar but would like different guitar sounds. Strat,Tele...

    Warm Embrace (Demo)

    Loved that production. Pretty Epic.. Very unusual vocals especially in the lower register when she first came in. You really got some power out of the choruses. Very impressive. No crits suggestions or complaints. I just Enjoyed it .. mark

    The Wolves Of Fading

    Excellent production and powerful vocals ! I Really liked the short breakdowns and guitar changes. The backing female vocals were nice .. On the suggestion side .. I think the only thing I would tweek, would be the amount of detuning chorus on a few of the guitar passages. Enjoyed it .. mark
