Steve Klatt

Thanks for the kind words. If you check my soundcloud site... it has my best 3 songs uploaded there. Also I will be added my version of Rush's Red Barchetta to that site today also. Check out Steve Klatt on #SoundCloud https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/2KESy

I keep it simple... instead of a thousand mainly sub par plugins... I stick to high quality but just what I really need. Like my neural dsp amp vst (can't live without) a full Izotope suite. A full Eventide suite. Melondyne studio. And my Reaper DAW... I do have amplitude 5 & Strack pack. That I use on occasion. And the Stienberg mastering plugins that come with wavelab. Ohhh I have U-He diva and EZ drummer3. But I stick to the same plugins mostly. I really have learned that less can be more 99% of the time

Very well made video. Great job. Obviously a lot of time and effort was put into this. 5 stars!! Also great choice of a song to cover.

Hello Bill, Nice to have you on the forum. I have used cakewalk before. I beilive I had to pay for it back in the day. It is a great daw. I like things simple. I mainly use acid pro these days. Neuendo is great to, but gets a little more complicated. Enjoy your stay on the forum. Cheers!

Here is a version of Dr.Stein I recorded a while back!! It was a fun song to play and sing! Got to love the 80s German bands!! Lol https://www.soundclick.com/music/songInfo.cfm?songID=12758781

Well the energy in the drum is definitely lacking.. like the bass .. because they are cheap midi tracks... not even hitting all the right notes, let alone being real instruments. I mentioned that though. All good.

Here is an original song I wrote. I sing with my friend singing also... well I scream, he sings lol. We use a little auto tune and some effects mixed in... I'm not very good with auto tune, so I had to use it sparingly... here's the song. It was written about my grandfather who passed away. https://www.soundclick.com/music/songInfo.cfm?songID=11868506

Thanks my brother.. it means a lot

I would like you thoughts on the vocals to this cover I did. The singer is an old friend and bandmate of mine. I think he has an amazing voice to cover Rush. Background... he lives far away, so I went to visit him for a day to try and record a few songs for fun. The drums and bass are just midi crap and sound like crap. I play the guitars and my friend sang. This was done in a few hours, I mainly want to hear what you think of the vocals. I know the production is garbage lol. Well here it is. https://www.soundclick.com/music/songInfo.cfm?songID=12057361

If anyone is looking for a good read on music. Try checking out "The Inner Game of Music" by Barry Green. It helps with stage preforming, concentration, learning, and even not being nervous to preform. Imo, it's a great read. Sorry just thought I'd throw this in here.

Thanks!! I posted one of my original songs in the critique my song section. My goals are just to write music that means something to me... not really radio friendly, but a creative output to express myself.
