Hello Friends,
I have been out for a while as I needed a break. During that time I have revamped my studio and have started writing again. It is good to be back on this forum.

My new song, I Am The Reason was written about my personal relationship with Jesus. It is a country gospel tune done with BIAB. I love all the new stuff in BIAB and find new goodies everyday. Thanks to all the Gurus at BIAB for IMHO, the best computer software ever created.

Thanks for listening,
Marty

Hey Marty, was trying to listen, however, the link takes me to the homepage of SoundCloud??

Not sure what's happening...

Cheers,
Mike

Hey Mike!
I just clicked on the link and it took me to the file correctly. I don't know what is going on?
Try this: I Am The Reason
Thanks,
Marty

Hi Marty,

It's great to have your back. Your music is always a delight to hear. I congratulate you on a fine song. Your writing and performing always impresses me on every level

All the best,
Noel

P.S. The problem in the original link is the '#'. I've noticed this before. Once that's removed, all works well.

Mike, Boehm, and Noel, I appreciate your listening. Did you notice some artifacts in the Mp3 at Soundcloud? I uploaded it twice and seem to hear a gurgling type noise on playback. Have no idea where it comes from because the original does not have that noise.
Have a great day!
Marty

Marty,

I didn't listen for artifacts. Soundcloud runs its own compressing routine so processing and mp3 has the potential to doubly compress the audio. Next time you upload, try uploading a wav file. It will take longer but it might give better results.

Regards,
Noel

This is a keeper


I arrived early to a restaurant.
The manager asks, "do you mind waiting a bit?"
I said no.
"Good", he said. "Take these drinks to table 3"
