I needed some contrast, and I tried and failed at various options along the way, so I'm glad it works okay. Thanks for listening and for mentioning that.

Maybe there's hope for me. I'll second Bob's observation about your mastery of the pop/rock ballad in this modern-yet-timeless style. Bravo!
Thanks a lot for your positive and detailed feedback, Ron. It's always good to hear what works best for others. "Modern-yet-timeless" is a description I can very well live with smile

Re: Know a VST3 plugin to stop feedback? Matt Finley 36 minutes ago Forum: Recording, Mixing, Performance and Production Jump to new postsJump to new posts
That price for a Waves plugin is not at all what I remembered. Thank you! I should have checked this first but thought it was out of the budget of the church. Didn’t they used to have copy protection that was problematic? I’ll look.

I like it. A witty write that's somewhat comical and sobering at the same time, and the mix is well balanced.

Re: Shut Up and Dance AurealiusB 1 hour ago Forum: User Showcase Jump to new postsJump to new posts
WaoBand, Thank you so much for your positive posting! And yes, this is a good song to dance to. As they (long ago) used to say on American Bandstand, "it's gotta good beat." I grew up listening to Gladys Knight and the Pips. Motown music definitely influenced my songwriting. Also, once again Kathy used interesting imagery weaving dance lyrics into a relationship theme.

Re: RIP Country Joe McDonald WaoBand 2 hours ago Forum: Off-Topic Jump to new postsJump to new posts
I met him in 1968 when I was art college in Grimsby, UK (I was 17), and he and the Fish had their last gig on their UK tour at the Winter Gardens, Cleethorpes, an adjoining grim town! I and other art students were going to do the light show, but we didn't as the students union said we still had to pay to get in, so instead we enjoyed the show without working! Barry Melton was the only one of the original Fish left. Peter S. Albin and Dave Getz from Big Brother replaced Bruce Barthol and Chicken Hirsh on bass and drums, and a new guy, Mark Kapner, replaced David Cohen on keyboard. After the gig I got all of their autographs except Dave Getz' who was in a really stinging mood! Joe also signed one of my episcope slides which I'd made for the light show that never was. All of then apart from Getz were super-friendly. I was a drummer at the time and Chicken Hirsh was a major influence as he was an all around percussionist.

Re: "Nature of the Game" with co-writer Bob Bentley's vocals jannesan 2 hours ago Forum: User Showcase Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Catchy country rock song with an upbeat message. I really like the lyrics which contain so many nice facts "This is a life without guarantees/Can't always get just what you please" and on the other hand advices like "Don't miss your chance, don’t let your life go by", always nice to be reminded of these simple universal truths. The life experience expressed by the vocalist fits perfectly with the story. The band rocks and the mix is lush, great work! Janne

Re: Story behind the songs. Neil Young WaoBand 2 hours ago Forum: Off-Topic Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Neil Young's been one of my favourites since the 60s and I still have now tattered copies of the 2 "Neil Young Complete Music" books covering 1966 to 73. I've got most of his albums - "Greendale" is the only one I couldn't get into - and I've always loved playing along to his songs. "Tonight's The Night", which is mentioned in the post, is one of my favourites. One of my favourite songs to play and sing is "Tell Me Why" from his 3rd album, but as I could never relate to his lyrics I wrote my own version, called "That Is Why" and made it a tribute to our Beautiful Earth. I'd do a BiaB version of it, but I doubt it'd be allowed on the forums it's Neil's chord structure.

What I observed seemed more random, though, like you, it was later in the file (more than half way thru). I wonder if it has to do with note overlaps. Like the previous notes weren't released before the new one triggered ..

Hi Rob. Thanks for visiting and commenting. I appreciate you feedback. Rock is a genre that's way outside my comfort zone. I don't have much experience in at all. In this case it was definitely a trial-and-error approach. At the end of it all, I just happy to get to a place that sounded reasonable to me smile --Noel
