Thanks a bunch, Bob. When I first got this mixed with the female vocal and regened BIAB tracks, my first thought was "...that has a Benetar vibe!" (which I was quite pleased about)....

Re: Anyone tried the ReSing software DrDan 1 hour ago Forum: Off-Topic
So I got IK Resing demo up and running - Seems to be an ARA VST3 and appears to work in Reaper. But, results sound like me and daffy duck both singing together. I am afraid it was horrible.

Her Torrey, Great song! Love the lyrics. Your special style and special voice are on full display here. No one sounds like you man! Songwriting is exceptional, lyrics are deeply touching, and the instrumentation enhances the emotion perfectly. Production is polished, performances are expressive. It all comes together beautifully. Classic Torrey. So good to see you.

According to ancestry DNA I am mostly Scottish, with English and Irish thrown in . . . I had never heard of Cranachan until this post but I'll be giving the recipe a try this weekend . . . As for the hardest instrument, I taught myself guitar, bass and mandolin. I am trying to teach myself banjo right now and it is the hardest instrument I have ever tried to learn.

Is there a better way of sharing songs created with friends?
Great thanks

Re: Microsoft has finally released support for MIDI 2.0 MountainSide 5 hours ago Forum: Off-Topic
So my experience has been mixed but in the end it has work very well. The big issue for me was coming to realize that LoopMidi conflicts with the MS MIDI. LoopMidi has to be deleted, then send and receive endpoints have to be set up in the MS app. Once that was realized and done, the new MS app has worked fine for me. Jeff

Thanx Janice and Bud, I'm glad you liked it. PS - Tell Bud I much prefer composing over passing kidney stones. I've never had the displeasure of passing a kidney stone but I hear it can be very painful. No song I've written has ever been very painful!
Well I meant that for me 😀 Not a general scenario for songwriters. I just don’t consider my self a natural writer. It’s always a struggle. Fortunately my better half easily comes up with melodies and progressions! Bud

Thank you, Dave! Yeah, this was a fun song to put together, nice to hear when the results are enjoyable.

Re: LEONIE’S SONG Janice & Bud Yesterday at 08:37 PM Forum: User Showcase
It’s lovely! The transitions had us imagining changing photographs of Leonie moving with the transitions. Excellent use of the RT’s. It’s not always to get a melodic sound like this. Well done. The mix sounded good to us. Nice subtle dynamics. And with a great soundstage on our monitors. Enjoyed it, J&B

Re: Sailing Through The Breeze Janice & Bud Yesterday at 08:21 PM Forum: User Showcase
“Don't be afraid of crashing waves. They wash away all the strife. And when you feel the world is drowning you, the breeze will save your life.” Excellent! We don’t sail but we get the same relief in nature on a bicycle ride or a hike. You hit the nail on the head, Marty. That’s a fun band and your background “vocal horn section” is awesome! Well some folks call it scatting but we immediately thought brass. smile Fun! J&B
