Description : My rendition of a Bruce Springsteen song. I started by tracking to a metronome with a Fender "Roland Ready" Strat and my trusty Line 6 POD V1. into Logic 9 via a Focusrite Saphire Pro 40. So I had an audio and a MIDI track established for arranging and off we go. Bass is a Gibson EB-1 through said Line 6 POD. The organ sounds are from a Kurzweil K2000S and an EM-U Vintage Keys B3. Both are triggered by the Roland Guitar Synth. There are many guitar tracks with many more being hurled into the void of the preverbal cutting room floor. Vocals came next and then back to adding guitars. The original track goes nearly 15 minutes.
This Mercy Rule Edit brings this version in at under 7 minutes.

I saw your name at the bottom of the screen and thought "aha I must stop by Ron's page" and so here I am.

I think Bruce would be pretty impressed with what you've done and from watching a recent documentary about the man I know that he is a perfectionist.

I really enjoyed listening. All the best.

This is pretty good man. I haven't heard the original, but it think i'll look it up.

Thanks Firebird. There is a very nice video of Bruce performing the song posted on YouTube from the MTV Series "Unplugged". However Bruce performed with full ensemble that evening and called his segment "Plugged".

Description : This short audio introduces MossFree Shoreline, a roof care service based in Shoreline, Washington. It explains how moss spreads across wet Pacific Northwest roofs, creeps under the shingles, and holds moisture against the roof all year long, and how a gentle soft wash removes that moss without damaging the shingles. It also covers the other services mentioned in the audio: moss treatment and prevention, gutter cleaning, and roof leak detection. roofmossremovalshorelinewa.com

Description : Made with a good amount of out of tune on a very minory chordy tuning I did about a week or two ago.

Lyrics are literally just an absolutely abrasive and unrecognizable part of the verse to John Lennon's Working Class Hero which
illuminates my bullying more than any song I have come across ever.

I named it bandit as a sort of that's what you get to society for people like me

Description : I wanted to create something similar to Celldweller's songs, but with a more upbeat vibe. :P

I created the vocals while benchmarking the vocal capabilities of various AI models: sound effects, transitions, etc. Modern AI models have already been reduced, so they won't be able to do that (I tried).

I used Audacity/OpenMPT (also audio2audio).
