Hey all,
This is probably not the place for something like this, but a song I wrote & recorded called "Be somebody else" is being reviewed in this month's issue of Recording magazine. The review is really good, and I thought it would be cool to share it with my fellow Cakewalkers since this forum is responsible for most of what I know how to do in Sonar.
 
The online review is here: http://www.recordingmag.com/tapereviews.html
We also shot a video for the song. See that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KD23XiBV1y8
 
Thanks for all your help guys!!

Congrats!....it's a great sounding tune!

Yup - sounds great, I would go see that in a show.  :)
 
Good job, and good luck with it all.

Fantastic job ryan, really enjoyed the tune. Best of luck in your future efforts.
 
Regards,

Great job, Ryan.  You should post this in the Song forum, and you'll find a lot of fans.

Great track and great well-deserved review.  Congratulations!
 
It is odd that Recording's one suggestion was about the drums: I noticed immediately that the drums sounded great and fit the track perfectly.  The reviewer suggested a deeper snare, but that could quickly muddy up what is a very clean and balanced track.  And I don't think a live player is needed.  In fact, I did not know that the drums were not live.  No doubt the reviewer is a very smart guy and probably much smarter than me; but for what it's worth, I think the drums are fine like they are.

I really enjoyed that track.
 
The drums sounded great to me as well, the snare felt perfect.
 
Well done - that's a great tune.

I agree: it's definitely got that rock anthem thing going. Well done, sir!

Hey guys,
Just want to say thanks for all the positive feedback!
I agree with you guys, the drums sound ok to me, but maybe I'll use some V-drums and a live drummer next time & see if it comes out any better.
 
Thanks again, it's great to be a part of such a supportive community!

Ryan, congrats.  And everyone is a critic.  If someone is talking about a snare drum needing depth in a rocker it is most likely a small difference in taste, or less generousl,y the writer needing to something to pan in order to justify the review.  Good job, sir.
