Re: VST plugins problem

It's a new hard drive. It was empty. I copied and pasted plenty of stuff. Okay... this is important. You mean you just copied/pasted files/folders from the old drive you had over to the new one? This would basically create a lot of problems. A lot of programs rely on external libraries to run. Thes...

Re: Black Friday deals

I already upgraded all my iZotope stuff. Pretty happy there.
Eventide has a bunch of specials too. I might check out a thing or two there.
I'll wee what else I can spot these days. Not that I'll be able to get everything I put my eye on... I wish!

I'm in a band with a singer (it's his project) that has all of us tune to 432. He says it's easier for him to sing tuned to that freq. Who am I to argue.

Re: Songs that were supposed to end with a fade-out but didn't

For me, a fade out is properly used when you want to end the statement you're making with an ellipsis, whereas ending the song with... well, an ending note/chord would be like ending your statement with a period. That's at least how I've always seen things.

Okay. I would help also if someone came up with a keys part. That will definitely help me write something that will sit better with the song. As you said, I was making this very guitar-centric. With a keyboard in there I think I would stick to only 1 guitar part (maybe?), and be more sparse with all...

Okay, I decided to turn things around a little bit. I decided to substitute the major 7ths in the chorus (last F#) with dominant 7ths (F), since they tend to sound more "rock" to me. I also changed the tone of the guitars a bit, and since we're on D, decided to drop-tune. Obviously, becaus...

Hey, the tempo changed, right?
Here's a new version. The parts are coming together, although I need to tighten some sections more. Also, tried a new tone.
So... did you just keep playing by inertia, or are there new sections of the song we haven't heard yet? Did I miss something?
Rock on!
