http://mooheadradio.com/music/demo1.mp3This is my first song with 2010. It is more of a project to help me learn the system. This was done in about 4 hours so far. I am using a Dire 140 gtr RT and a slide RT that I've dirtied up with a Cakewalk amp sim. Note that the solos are not always right. I will be trying to use Melodyne to fix these in the days to come. Editing being done in Sonar 8.5. I will post each update as I have the time. Hope you're enjoying this product as much as I am. Moo

Great start, Moo! Lose the count-in though

That's a great first effort! You're really getting the hang of this program. I see you are way above the average bovine

Sounds pretty good to me right now, the backing music hangs together real well. Don't worry about the count-in until you are done. Looking forward to hearing it as it progresses. Maybe add a little B3 organ in there. The slide sounds a little out of character for this tune -- at first, then it starts to grow on me. So I am undecided on the slide part.
I just got the upgrade to Sonar Studio 8.5 from Home Studio 6xl (that $99 special), but I haven't installed it yet.

A big Moo from the Austrian Alps  Good production (I know its not finnished). For my personal taste: I would shorten the mesures of each chord by the half. Its only 3 chords anyway - so when each one plays 4 bars at some times, that seems long to me. Also the vocals have very long rest due to that. Why not make the Chorus or Bridge with something like: C | C/B | Am | G | A minor chord once I while can be very refreshing  Also supersimple, but maybe a little more interesting than the C | F | C | G | stuff all the time. The style you`ve chosen sounds great to me. I didn`t hear any bad solo notes exept for the 4th or 3rd last bar (when the fade starts). good job, Sandra

Thanks for the comments!
Sandra- Absolutely. This is actually less of a "song" than it is a work project for me to learn how to use RT's, and edit them in my different softwares. I've never worked in RB, so it's a great intro to that as well.
I will prolly do a real song once I feel I know my way around this program. The lengthy instrumentals will give me a chance to introduce some variations of the played solos using Melodyne.
As it stands now, it is very repetitive, with no bridge.
I also wanted to use more guitar sounds to share with my collaborator so we can judge the realism of the rhythm track...which actually sounds pretty good.

I liked the groove. Nice work!
For future reference, try running the Harmonica through the same Cakewalk amp simulator. The machine with SONAR on it blew up so I can't do it again and show you, but when I did it after I first got 2009 it sounded great. Gave it some of that Chicago grit.
Looking forward to your next offering.

P.S.: Does anyone know of a good free standalone amp sim plugin I can download and use?

http://mooheadradio.com/music/guitarmelo.mp3Here's what I have done: The real track Dire 140 soloist generated a solo that was a bit too busy in parts. Kinda like Knopfler hopped up. The soloist is also at 140 bpm, while the song is 120 bpm. So I took the solo into Melodyne and changed the formant of the solo (the formant is the male/female gender tone). I brought it up to varying degrees on different notes, giving the guitar a little more sparkle to adjust the difference in the bpm. I then found the busiest parts of the solo and cut the superfluous notes. Next I lenthened a few notes to make the soloist sound a little more real. Finally, I ran the guitar through the TL64 Tube Amp in Sonar 8.5, along with some EQ and reverb to make the solo licks pop a bit more out of the mix. I did nothing to the slide. I think the Dire soloist sounds a bit more polished now. Moo

I listened to both and have to say I'm impressed. Seems there are endless possibilities with realtracks and melodyne.
You should post this on a music site.
