>Sounds good Jim... I had a little time to go though most of them. Although
I am not a pro in the feedback arena... just a silly musician... I find it
rather daring to put recordings on a DAW bulletin board. People tend to
speak mainly with their fingers... lol. I liked most of the songs and their
style. The sonics sound good too.
Personally I don't care for most music that is released these days by the
big studios. You can almost feel the bubblegum in each song. My wife likes
country... and she knows country artists... but when I listen to newer
stuff.. it's like... that ain't country... that's a rock band with a country
singer...(glorified karaoke)... things like that. Maybe I am too
critical... but I am beginning to believe musicians are losing our roots...
gosh, I sit and listen (and love to watch DvD's) of bands from the 70's and
80's... some 90's... and think... those people were really great and really
into it. So original! An example is Collective Soul. There's alot of
electronics in thier songs and although I never seen them play, my wife did
and claims they play their songs just like the CD's. To me, that's
original! Anyway, when I first heard a few songs, I thought the band was
younger folks (teens) based on vocals... then I pulled up the website pic...
huh? lol. Sorry to ramble on... but keep up the good work and music! Is
that a TC Helicon on harmony? I got a quintet.. and with my braised voice..
it can be brutal on me. Just wondering. Good job! peace! ~ Ed

The only real complaint I have with PT these days is that the cost adds up just to get things sitting in the analog or paris realm. The McDSP stuff sounds great but it ain't cheap either. I just upgraded to PT7 for HD and so far am very happy with the improvements. I also just upgraded Amp Farm to version 3, and it's a big difference to my ears, so I'm excited about that. And acid/rex support in PT now to a certain degree, which will make it quicker to thr

I've been struggling with Autotuning for years. How much is too much?
I am curious to know if the pitchyness is obvious to you in all of the tracks
or just a few cuts.(on or off line). This is an issue that's hard for me
to do much about if the artists are okay with their performance.
Thanks to everyone for lending an ear. I really appreciate any and all feedback.
Best regards,
Jim
