    Nice scatting! I wish I could play guitar like that.

    Oh, Susannah and You Are My Sunshine are fun. Get a songbook for Christmas if you run out of made-up lyrics. Good recordings. What device did you use to capture the dimensional (stereo) space?

    Bluesy storytelling. Is this a natural fire or arson/rioting? The Hinckley fire?

    Jay, coincidentally I was trying to purchase Izotope RX 8 last week to see if it could reduce clipping and distortion on some old cassette recordings that my client digitized as MP3s. RX 8 can’t be purchased any more, as far as I can see (although I was able to download a time-trial version from Izotope). I also found the Plugin Boutique deals but…[Read more]

    I spent a lot of time and money on sequencing apps and virtual libraries since 2004, and I don’t regret the fact that I maybe only use 5% of what I purchased in any given month. It was great to learn a variety of approaches to recording and mixing. I finally settled in on mostly using live/real guitar for my music tracks. Makes it more convincing…[Read more]

    Bummer. I paid the full $99.99 last December to upgrade from Cubase 10.5 to 11. If I had waited I could have gotten it for $59.99. Keep posting deals, Jay. I’ll try to do the same. I hope other members discover this group.

      I will certainly do my utmost Brother. “Lord knows” that there’s an ocean of them out there.

    By the way, there is another template available for BuddyPress called “Nouveau”. I tried it early on and didn’t like it as much as the original “Legacy” template. I activated the Nouveau template (which only affects BuddyPress pages) for about 10 minutes and discovered it has some of the features you desire. For example, showing at the top the…[Read more]

    Looks good. I see the group buy discount has reached 55% off. Kirk Hunter Studios has run group buys in the past similar to this – which saved me and my collaborator, André van Haren, a ton of money. We use various Kontakt instruments, Kirk Hunter strings, and several libraries from EastWest (soundsonline.com) for our orchestral projects. We us…[Read more]

      Oh wow! You clearly have a ton of experience in this area. I am jam packing as many concepts into my mind as it will allow (regardless of the many neural sprains and tears along the way. LOL)

        Let’s invite Doug Millaway to this group discussion. He also has a ton of gear, software and experience. He did a great Zoom session on Steinberg Cubase (DAW) and some awesome virtual instruments. Look for “12.02.2020 Mixer: Doug Millaway on Studio Setup” on this page: https://mnsongwriters.org/activities/resources/

          Wait… I am new to this site/platform… So, are you stating that members of this “Group” do not have “Member/Group Permissions” necessary to invite other members?

          I have to issue inviting him or anyone. But, i’d just assume set it up so that any MAS member can invite any other MAS member… I intended it to be a publicly accessible resource…[Read more]

            Any MAS member who is logged in can join – assuming they see the new Group. You set it up correctly as an open discussion group. We can also send invites to give a nudge to those we think would be interested.

            There is also the option for a private discussion group by invitation only.

            I just invited three members.

          Ok… So, I have a better sense of things now.

          Quick question, do you have two accounts (one as member and one as “Webmaster”)?

          • Profile picture of Richard Schletty
            Richard Schletty replied 2 years, 2 months ago

            Yes! Two accounts. I just explained that in another reply. I figured you’d be confused. The other one is Webmaster/adminsinger.

          Odd, there are some downstream messages which I cannot reply to. No worries, it may be an accommodation for “Clean Message Nesting”. I am still getting accustomed.

          Thank you for the invitation to apprentice. Unfortunately while I was out of work, I took on a number of volunteer positions and am now back at work in addition to added…[Read more]

            I’ll test the thing about not being able to reply. I clicked on the link in the email notification I received but had to log back in before I could see the reply option.

            Thanks for your thoughts. Keep me up to date on your skills acquisition. I actually use Logic Pro X for 95% of my songs. I’m not as in-depth as others. My DAW needs are simple:…[Read more]

    Hi, Jay. Thanks for the heads up. I checked it out. I already have standalone Kontakt 6 which I regularly use with other Kontakt instruments other than those offered in the Komplete bundle. Not sure I would benefit by purchasing the Komplete 13 bundle for $399+tax (my own upgrade price). I will think about it!

    Strangely enough, this reminds me of the old song “Traces” by the Classic IV. It also has a Jim Morrison Doors vibe. Well sung, with heart.
