You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.com Add nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Excellent thinking outside of the (Bia)Box. Back in my day the only time we started panic buying was when the bartender shouted "last call"! 64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

OP lambada Expert L Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 1,590 Hong Kong	Thanks guys. I appreciate the comments. The idea got a bit of a jolt from the thread on niche markets. I sang the whole alphabet in one session at school. The RealTracks are the same for each sound and are written completely in BIAB 2019. I then ran it through Newtron 8 Advanced / Ozone 8 Advanced. I also used Nectar 1 or 2 for a bit of pitch correction etc. The video's are done in Doodly. I'm still putting together the videos as it takes a while (in comparison).
