Missed this the first time, thanks for reposting! laugh

Sad to see the picture of Devonte Hart at 1:53 and 4:09 given how his life ended.

As usual, excellent work.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Greg,

This is spectacular. I love the song, the presentation and the production. This has such a rich, warm and inviting overall sound.

This is truly a wonderful message. It's one of those that when it's said over and over, more and more people hear it.

I thoroughly enjoyed hearing this again.

Regards,
Noel

Hello Greg,

I hadn't heard that song before - man, am I glad you re-posted it.

The message of 'Make racism wrong again' is definitely one of the most important ones (if not THE mpst important one). Your song really touched me deep in my heart and watching the video made me think of all those terrible brothers and sisters racism has: xenophobia, homophobia, misogyny ...

I'm old like a stone, but I will never understand what drives people to hate and disrespect others just because of color, race, sex, creed or whatever.

Yes, Greg, keep on posting that song on a regular basis.

Thank you so much,

Stefan

PS: Oh yes - I do not only like the message - the musical side of it (especially the vocals) are simply excellent, too !

User Tip: How to add drum fills without changing any other tracks

MarioD has shared some great advice when it comes to adding drum fills without changing any other tracks in your song:

There have been a number of questions asking how to add drum fills without changing any other tracks in a song. This is especially important if one is holding a chord for a few measures and wants to add a drum fill prior to the next chord. The following is how to accomplish that:

1-get the instruments/tracks to play like you want but don't worry about the drums for now.
2-generate the song.
3-freeze all tracks
4-unfreeze the drum track
5-add your fills where you want them
6-generated the song again - note this will only generate the drum track and not the frozen tracks
7- when you get the drums like you want them freeze the track
