The 32-Bit Float audio recording revolution and its HUGE headroom before clipping (making clipping and gain staging for it a thing of the past) is underway. DAWs and VSTs have been using it a long time for internal processing. Zoom may have have been first out of the gate with a consumer audio interface - this one:. https://www.amazon.com/Zoom-UAC-232-Converter-Interface-Headphone/dp/B0BW1VDHNS/ref=asc_df_B0BW1VDHNS/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=647293221758&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=9200862543381157809&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9009415&hvtargid=pla-1968708094295&psc=1&mcid=df63d616fb4f3e5bbf09b08b69b770d6

LOL No, John I was just giving a good-natured ribbing to the OP by pointing out that he might try to drive traffic to his music on those sites by posting links to it in his profile and posts posts here (i.e.via his profile signature) on Songstuff. I guess my intended humor missed the mark.

Seriously? There is nothing in your post - and nothing in your profile here at Songstuff - that even has a link to your music on Spotify or Apple Music. Can you even find your music there?

Hi, Mark. I'm David. Welcome.

LOL Sorry, but I really thought that was pretty funny.

If you do get that guitar, get the see-thru purple sunburst version of it. I think it looks the coolest. it may also be the least expensive of the colors available for it. Double-plus!! ++ ++

Wes. Dude. There is only one Bruce Hornsby. Listen to him . . . do it multiple times a day if need be. Ignore all the rest. The rest pale in comparison.

WTF? I'm supposed to be having fun doing music? Hmm. I must be doing it wrong. Welcome to my nightmare, Palmiro. David

Video killed the radio star. I have a Youtube music channel that I do not upload anything to. f*ck Youtube. That's my "strategy."

The Google app for Android or iOS has Google Voice Assistant that you activate by clicking the microphone icon in the Google search window, or by simply saying "Hey Google." After that, ask "What song is this?" or click on "search song" if that icon comes up. Then hum or sing da-d-a-das (that's what I do) of the melody in question for 10-15 seconds. After "listening," Google Voice Assistant will display known songs matching that melody. It can be pretty useful.

Save your Vocaroo recording as an .mp3, then upload that .mp3 file as an attachment to a post you make in a forum here on Songstuff.

I just finished watching a documentary on Gordon Lightfoot. I had forgotten what a truly great songwriter he is, and I've been listening to his stuff again. In my opinion, this is still one of the best songs ever recorded.

He's a musical artist. If you're a musician, record producer and songwriter - you're a musical artist. https://artists.teamwass.com/music/rick-beato/ So, let's agree to disagree about that. I have watched and liked many of his videos. I think he crossed the line here - regardless of whether he did it to make money.

He's entitled to his opinions. But, I think he should have kept them to himself and to private discussions with others. This went way beyond analysis: He was trashing these songs. I personally find it very distasteful when a musical artist publicly trashes the creative works of other musical artists. Millions of people love these songs. He's insulting them too. The world is full of non-artist art critics. We shouldn't be criticizing the works of each other unless criticism by peers is being asked for. Anyway, that's how I feel.

No worries, Greg. I just wanted to clarify why I am not posting for critique, and I appreciate you clarifying what you were saying. You were talking about . . . for lack of a better term . . . drive-by-posters looking only to get without giving back. David
