Hi Mario for me I find a lot of budgets just can't crank them unlike years ago. what happened to 8-inch woofers. Lol. Om They were downsized   My old Pioneer audiophile stereo speakers had a 16" woofer, a 10" mid range, and a small tweeter! They were a bear to move! They also were drastically downsized to much smaller speakers that sound just as good!

Often, I'll use my own ending rather than the default ending. On a recent project for a new song, I opted to use D... In the last measure to end the song. There is a full band playing all the way to the last chord which is a hold. When the last chord is played, only the guitar sounds. No bass, no drum hit, just the guitar. That makes for a very weak sounding hold. The reason I don't want to use the default ending is because I want it to slow down to the hold. I also looked at the bar settings to see if something was muted but I'm not seeing anything muted. Wondering why the chord isn't playing correctly

Do you mean when those windows are minimized after using? They just disappear for me, I can't find them and use the icons/buttons to reopen them.

Dan... My interest is the new Fender audio interfaces. With 75 DB gain microphone preamps but I can't find the latency figures of these interfaces. They look really nice. Like you I'm a Reaper user version two believe it or not and I use real band and band in a box of course as my.go to apps.of course It's all I need to do what I want. Frankly I don't like subscription approaches for daws.. I wonder what the presonus products will be now. Om

Many of the old Sampler type keyboards used loops to great effect (at the time), such as the S-series Rolands. And years ago I made many loops. Haven't played with them in years. I had to toss my last W-30 a few years back due to it ceasing to function. I read that at one time MC Hammer's show was driven by two sync'd W-30s with the optional SCSI drives instead of the factory floppies. Music, lights, whole show https://articles.roland.com/a-history-of-roland-samplers/

The OP was looking for someone to disagree and when I made a small joke about the booze and trucker hats, he immediately unloaded with both barrels dumping on me for things I neither said nor implied. The first person who disagreed was going to get that exact blast—if you don't understand that, read it again. Knowing that his response was pre-planned, I then fired back in return. .... He wanted the fight, I gave him the opportunity to get whatever nonsense he had bottled up out and he did. None of this is actually true. Wild assumptions based on some preconceived notion. Your "joke" did not sound like a joke to me. It sounded like an insult. I merely asked who the insult was aimed at. You could have replied by saying "I did not intend to insult anyone". You chose to do otherwise...

“So long, Rusty at my side for so long. She don’t care, as to where, she’s got her bone. Ain’t nothing better than bombing along red dirt roads. With your best friend at your side. She’s not trying to catch you out. She’s just a ….. along for the ride.” We have hundreds of miles of red dirt roads in our area and frequently bicycle sections of them. And we've spent plenty of miles in a pickup on them. All meaning this tune is very relatable. Your vocals sound good for a 64 year old. Hey, just kidding they are fine - Janice is 68. ) Great band and regarding your BiaB thoughts … well RTs and RDs are played in a studio by humans - often famous ones. To us, FWIW, BiaB’s magic to make it fit your song doesn’t strip out the humanity.  You did good work with the soloists too. And, man, those video clips were so supportive of the song. Well done! J&B PS Comments based on reading both posts and listening to both.

You know that we love the topic of your song and your production for both the song and the video are excellent. With the vocalists you chose the choruses and bridge sound magestic. Once again you’ve assembled an interesting and enjoyable band too. The wollimi pine documentary is fascinating and reminds us of what a brief time we are here. The cassoweries were amazing and the doc did a good job of showing our connectedness. On that note (pun intended) we’re going for a hike in the woods! Well done and we enjoyed it all! J&B

I certainly don't have the pitch detecting skills that this muscian has. And if I think about it, maybe having such skills is a curse because everywhere you go you probably hear music out of pitch. I'm guessing that would be annoying. In high school I knew a fellow musician with perfect pitch. He told me he hated it! He said anything that was off in a band, chorus, or music in general drove him up a wall. He went on to college and we lost touch.

We’re sorry about the loss of your friend and we hope the songs you made together comfort you. He lives on in those songs and your memories of your friendship and collaborations are surely treasures as they are to listeners. We especially enjoyed “May God’s Blessings Rest on You.” Thank you for sharing. J&B

At times, I felt I was soaring, and then there were some more melancholy moments that contrasted well with the overall theme. Expertly played and very easy on the ear.

Feels like walking in deep snow, the sound of your guitar is like the northern wind on a cold winter day. Some discords make this quite an interesting experience. Great dual guitar painting, and acoustic/electric BIAB guitars work well together. The song lives up to its title. Enjoyable blues journey. Janne

Of couse Rusty that is why I brought this question here. Now for a bit of the back story... I stumbled onto an interesting opportunity to do some audio editing for a project involving a videographer recording narration of his video (voice over work). I have to be a bit secretive here. This individual is a professional musician who some years back suffered a stroke and lost his ability to sing/speak. He has been preparing a life history video for the past couple years. He is at the stage where he is having a voice over actor come in to record the narration in his home studio. All the final video and mixing will be done in a professional studio. Unfortunately, his home studio was in disarray and not fully installed in the current location. His stroke caused cognitive damage and he was unable to get his gear up and running. He reached out via our local town FB, looking for someone in the area who could help with setup. Now I am not a sound engineer, but I can set up a DAW and associated equipment (which by the way was all pro level gear). I stopped by and got things installed and operational. But his DAW was Studio 1 One version 7. Which I have no experience with. Since he wanted to get recording immediately, I installed Reaper and showed him how to arm and record a track. He took notes but communicated to me that he was not able to run the board due to his illness. Long story short I have now recorded 13 individual narratives with his voice over artist. He has taken all our tracks to his pro studio where they have incorporated them into a master mix. This week he has the camera crew coming to film him in his home studio playing live and needs backing drums and Guitar FX. He asked me to come over to install and setup his EzDrummer and Amplitube plugins. He has promised me he will find some small place in the movie credits to call me out by name for “engineering support”. What a treat for me! I will come back with a link to the project when it goes public. Dan I attended the priemere release of the 90 minute Documentary In search of his lost Cords. This is the story of Eric Kinkel, who is the musician who I referered in this thread last spring. The link is for the Trailer. The entire film can be found on Vimeo. I did some very minor work on the production of this documentary which I had shared above. At the end of the showing, lights came up and the audio was stopped as they rolled credits. Few if any paid any attention to the listing, except me. There near the end of the roll was "Dan Hoch - Audio Assistance." I was so excited! ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=32177&filename=Screenshot 2026-01-14 115216.jpg)
