Re: Mastering Tips Needed (for a Lazy Amatuer) JohnJohnJohn 10 minutes ago Forum: Off-Topic Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Thanks rharv! I did that and just bounced around the tracks trying to get them all adjusted to approximately the same perceived level of loudness. Then I rendered each track and have listened a few times and still have some adjustments to make. I didn't know if I might be screwing things up by starting with already individually mastered tracks. And I have a couple of tracks where the vocals are not forward enough in the mix. They seemed ok as a one off but next to other songs they sound a little off. I guess I have to go back a bit further on those. Thanks again for the advice!

Oh goodness. One of those guys who was everywhere. I was always a Fleetwood Mac fan and remember that brief period when he played with that band.

Re: Lost in Space B.D.Thomas 59 minutes ago Forum: User Showcase Jump to new postsJump to new posts
A great song with a memorable catchy chorus, sung well and backed by a great band. The mix is well-balanced, bass and kick go well together with the rest of the band. Personally, I’d use a little less reverb on the vocals so they stand out better and the sibilants are easier to control here and there. But as it is, it’s already pretty good. Enjoyed my listen [Linked Image]

you could render the tracks to audio and import them - depends on what you want to do in RB, did you open the BIAB file in RB or drag and drop?

Thanks J&B! Yep, I think it is the kind of music which would work well played by a band with a group of lady vocalists at an open air concert, ideally at night time. Ah, fantasy, fantasy … tired crazy tired sleep

Excellent cover, with very cool instrumentation, including the perfect harmonica solo. It's something you could also create an instrumental of, say with jazz guitar and/or sax and/or piano solos to add to your harp.

As I wrote on the YT post, "Excellent instrumentation and arrangement" - and it really is a nice mixture of stringed instruments - but I also relate to the lyrics. It's said that one never forgets one's first true love and that's certainly true for me 56 years later! I even still remember her birthday.

You stand out as unique and that is enviable among artists who strive to find their sound. Your story lines and lyrics are unique as well, finding stories to tell us in ways that the rest of us haven't thought of. I really find your arrangements to be phenomenal like a majestic sunset, very intriguing and interesting. Very well done! John
Thanks John very much for your words, they really warm my heart, maybe the most beautiful words ever written about my songs blush I'll probably frame them so that I can read them every morning to be reminded by the fact that I might be unique and unlike anything you've heard smile "Arena Neo-Classical" - sounds magnificent and I'm honored, even though I have no idea what it really means laugh Janne

Re: They Say jannesan 5 hours ago Forum: User Showcase Jump to new postsJump to new posts
What a beautiful and contemplative song, "All things of value have no defense/They vanish unless your heart prevents" I enjoyed the deep thinking in those words. Great band, I like the comfort of the baritone guitar and how the synth adds heavenly feel. Great vocals, calm and emotional. And those oohs and aahs add warm spirit. The video is thoughtful and touching. Janne

Interesting backstory, nice to hear how it inspired you to write this unique song about your treasure. I enjoyed the vivid images in the lyrics, I can really feel your summer and the smell of the farm, nostalgic real life experiences, learning and appreciation, all wrapped in a beautiful package. Good upbeat tempo with very catchy melody. Great vocals and the band fits perfectly with the story. And the mix is especially strong. Janne

Re: ♫ Take Today And Make It Mine jannesan 5 hours ago Forum: User Showcase Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Nice upbeat song, a song of encouragement for oneself. I like how the verses start darker and finally turn to full shine in the chorus which is really catchy one and it really gets stronger on each repeat with the help of those slight changes. I can imagine this also to be sung by supporters of a sports team. The powerful drums provide a solid foundation for the rock sound without losing optimism for aggressiveness. You have great skill to make these virtual singers sound like you, I'm surprised you managed that also with NineZero, good selection for your vision. I'm glad you got this one finished smile Janne
