What I've discovered... When you use different views in Undocked mode with 2 monitors or such: Chord View, Piano Roll, Audio Edit, Track View - The position of the project is consistent when you press Stop, You are left at the location at which you pressed Stop. The problem is when you use most common workflow - using a single monitor and simply switch from one view to another. Location of where you were does not transfer from one view to another on Stop! They (locations) are all over the place at different views. That is a bug, not a wish. PGM, please fix this. Thank you.

Hi, J&B. Sounds great!  Everything is clear: drums and bass provide support, harp and guitar shine, and we get double the Janice!

I want to add a couple things or maybe clarify a few things. 1. you can do anything in RB that just about any other product can do, it can de-ess, it can compress, it can EQ. It can use 3rd party plugins. 2. Reaper is a very powerful and streamlined, and yet complex DAW. I have had it since version 4. I use it and yet find it a pain to hunt down stuff and a joy to do simple tracking in. I have had Cakewalk/Sonar since the floppy home studio days. Used Sonic Foundries Acid pro versions 2, 3, 4. I have used Studio one versions 2, 3, and 4. Used Multitrackstudios (a powerful robust program.) used Harrison Mixbus and love it. Used Powertracks and RB both powertracks since version 3 RB since inception. I have tracked and mixed well over 150 songs. I have done head-to-head comparisons, i can't tell the difference when done. I have seen the value in each and seen that they are all good in many ways. Same results different roads. To say that RB would not have a following if it was a separate product is silly. It is not, it is free and it is unique. It is also very capable. I used it exclusively for a while and back then it didn't have a real comping feature that was easy to use. That was the only reason i move to other programs. Now that it has that capability i and using it for almost every project. I do not miss anything the others have. I am able to start from scratch there. or start from BiaB and move over with three clicks. Is it better than Reaper. NO! is it less capable? NO! It boils down to workflow, and familiarity. Bob is correct!

I heard the Kilkennys place this when I was in Ireland, although I think the melody was a little different. Awesome production. I like you guitar and banjo playing.

"He loves his rock & rye." That's a good one. That's a rollicking production. The lead and bass duet is sizzling and the vocals are high energy.

I've heard of socks and hops, even hock shops but never heard of a Sock Hop in the UK. I can imagine the dance though and I'm sure we had similar. Nice relaxing tune. Vic. Thanx Vic. I know that the stroll dance was very popular here in 1958. I would be very surprised if the UK didn't have that dance our one very similar to it.

Man, you guys are _really_ old. I had to Google everything you said. Most of my knowledge about that era comes from the movie "Back to the Future", which your song would fit into perfectly. However, the Casio strat sounds somewhat out of place in this era  Thanx Brian. Actually sock hops stopped in our area just prior to my high school days but I have seen them on TV. Are you sure about the strat being out of place? Are you referring about the tone or the fact it isn't a Gibson like Chuck Berry used to play?

Man, does Bud ever remember sock hops. This brings back some great imagery. Sometimes the cheer leaders with their moves would hijack the dance. Well done in performances and production and thanks for the memories! J&B Janice and Bud, I'm glad that I could bring back some fond memories to Bud. I know of one cheer leader that not only hijacked the dance floor but also my heart, my wife! Thanx for those very kind words.

Mario, This is quite awesome! All I can say is Cool Daddio! Bob Thanx Bob for listening and commenting. I appreciate it. I hope you had some lovely and friendly partners for the sock hop, Mario. But be careful not to step on each other's toes, especially without shoes! The retro atmosphere is well captured. Laurent Thanx so much Laurent. I never danced at a sock hop or at any other dance. I was usually playing in the band.

Sol, this song is exactly how I feel. Super vocal and mix but the lyrics took it over the top for me as I can really relate to them. Loved it. PS - Do you know why a guitar is better than a woman? Because a guitar doesn't get mad when you bring home another one! Ducking and running for cover.

How I would do it in RB - Import your audio and Chords Select a blank track (important!) Go to Chords view and select the bar before you want to insert a new one Right-Click Copy it (just that bar using the From-Thru settings in the popup) and make sure the Chord Symbol & Events check boxes are checked Right-Click Paste that, making sure 'Create Gap on Selected track' is chosen and use the From section in that same popup to define the next measure as where to paste it. Click OK Now you have a new chord sheet with an new measure that you can alter as you like & no audio was disturbed Do the same thing for any other measures needed. After that you can generate or whatever as needed.

Ron, Thanks - that's very kind. I appreciate the thoughts here as well. I completely understand what you and Jim are saying. I was going for more of a reflection or remembrance while playing, as opposed to a synced performance. But I do get your point. I have another song with Joliz coming out later this week. It has a similar "playing" feel, rather than me playing along directly with the song. Thank you again! Bob

Always nice to have a new excuse to listen to an old song of yours, Bob. This is a GREAT song and certainly worthy of exploring pathways to a larger audience, assuming that's what you're open to. Like the simple setting of the video, the dithered background and the shades-of-gray pallet. It's very artistic and cool, but not in a pretentious way at all. That you're playing a guitar in front of a console is very cool as well. The scrolling of the lyrics is a nice feature, too. I have a personal issue with the animation, but it's just me, and not a reflection of the beauty of what you've done here (it is STUNNING), or the aforementioned GREATNESS of the song: Videos where the music doesn't sync with the music creates an uncomfortable cognitive dissonance for me. I have a similar issue with clowns and their whole joyful-but-creepy vibe. So take that for what it's worth. (Not much.) Great job! Looking forward to seeing more.

Hi, Ron. I'm late to this party, but not too late to enjoy the song. The wistful, musing tone fits the quirky lyrics (which I've come to expect). Everything sounds great. If there were any issues with this song, they're long gone as far as I'm concerned.

Hi, Noel. Nice! I Iiked the lyric choices - callbacks to older styles: I recall when first I saw you On that warm Jamaican morn Oh and the day we vowed our lifetimes ‘Neath.... Sometimes cliches are the right choices. I've very much got your style, and I enjoyed the listen.

Ron & R.W., Excellent balance in the Mix. Sounds GREAT. Cool BAND. Nice use of BIAB. LOVE your vocals and harmonies. Very cool lyrics. And melody. All aspects of this are absolutely Delighful. Many listens. And well worth it. (playing again as I type...) I know it's cliche, but what the hell....One Of Your Best! fj Thank you, Floyd. Can't recall the last time anything I touched was deemed "delightful". But I'm...DELIGHTED! Appreciate the listens, positive thoughts, and that SoundCloud eventually started working again.
