Yesterday somehow I managed to record a harmonica through a regular non-stereo microphone in a way that both "stereo" tracks had the same mono image on them. I don't know how that happened. But for some reason it sounded great. Seemed to add some kind of resonance or something. Anyway, a pairing of a mono track actually be a good thing? I know it's not really "stereo", but I think it sounded great. More importantly, how can I repeat whatever caused that to happen? All I did was plug the mic into the Focusrite Scarlett thing, and voila, I had some kind of double image. Tried to do it again but the mono channel just went to one side of the stereo track. Couldn't repeat the result.

Well, I tried the other things besides ASIO and I had a ton of latency, so it didn't seem like I could switch over without throwing the timing out.

It could say Windows Audio or MME even Point is to check your options and see if you find it

I found the problem. Under options Midi/Input/Output ports it was set to HUI. I changed it to Midi and now everything works as expected. Thanks, Bob

Hey BD, Well maybe just maybe Kathy didn't like the way rock was going back then, such as the disco era, which I actually liked, at least some of it (BeeGees). But thanks for liking my music! AB

Hi, J&B. Reggae with a social message? What's this world coming to?  17 tracks?! Wowzers. I didn't notice, because it just sounds like good music to me. All the usual suspects sound great, and that includes the mix. Thanks for the mix info, it helps fuel my gear lust.

Hi, Janne. The progressions were a bit challenging to my lazy ears, but I love the sound: big chorus, chimey guitars, smacking drums in a huge space. Cool! Liam sounds great in the lower register, and the production is excellent.

Hi, Mario. The track seems to have come together well. ( See what I did there? ) I'd have put the drums more up front - it sounds like they're being played in another room or something. I would also would have liked the mix to place the instruments into more of a "space" which would help with the realism, but that's a minor nit. Nice melodies!

Reggae always cheers me up, and so does your song. Janice sounds like she's been singing Reggae her whole life, and Peter does the same on the guitar. Perfect and tasty fills! Super mix, sounds radio-ready. That's the good stuff ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif) By the way, I just finished a (kinda) Reggae myself. Seems to be that time of year.

Hi Vic! Great choice of guitar tracks for your song. The first guitar that appears caught my attention straight away and carried me through the whole song. There is something good about the title sung three times in chorus - sounds very natural and catchy. I’m going back for a third helping! Andrew

Hi, Noel. Catchy and upbeat! As others have said, a winner. I really liked what you did with the countermelody line. You say this is outside your comfort zone, but it sounds excellent. Ninezero is a hard voice to work with, especially the way he's miked. I've only been able to use him in a single song - but he's a pretty good fit here.

Beautifully played, with just the right number of notes. I love the mood you create, and the spacious, open mix really brings that out well. Well done, Scott

Sounds old. 50s or so. Long before my time, but entertaining nonetheless. Beautifully arranged with a good selection of instruments. I'm not entirely sure if Danny was the best choice for the vocals, I think a singer with a deeper voice would be a better fit. However, when he sings a duet with the girls, it sounds fantastic. Nicely mixed and overall well produced. Enjoyed my listen

Hi, AB. As others have noted, it's a fun bit of pop. Not quite rock, but then, "Sultans of Swing" wasn't a swing tune, was it? I enjoyed listening.

Even though I don't entirely agree with the song's message (hey, I'm pretty sure there was plenty of rock on the radio in 1980), I agree that it's a damn catchy song. Toe-tapping goodness. Enjoyed

Problems arise in voice leading and register jumping. I get better success by selecting two, four or eight measures for partial regeneration, since I believe based on past discussions that those are the lengths BIAB tries to combine. Only one measure means it will always be chopped.

Break Down The Walls It’s been several years since we posted a reggae song so here’s a new one. It’s arranged in the typical classic reggae fashion with the “one drop” rhythm, i.e., little or no emphasis on the first drum beat and a snare or similar hit on the third beat. We provided a handclap for the third beat emphasis. After the solo we added Janice on cajon for a wee bit of a lift. At 17 tracks we have definitely exceeded our mix pay grade! And yep, classic reggae can be a bit redundant and outro fades are very common. So there! The slightly tweaked lyric was written by Leon of Peter&Leon with Peter, of course, being our music partner and featured guitar player. As always comments are welcomed and thank you Peter for the guitar and PG Music. And thank you if you choose to listen. Lyrics are on SC. More Than You Likely Want To Know: Janice: four vocal tracks, cajon, progression, melody & mix Peter: guitar solos, supporting solo track, guitar fills, arrangement and mix. Leon: lyric Bud: mix, mastering, arrangement & photo.
