Nice one mate. I record dry as it shows me instantly how rubbish I am at singing and pushes me to try harder lols.

Hello again. After watching loads of videos on youtube I decided to push the boat out and get a komplete kontrol and komplete 11 earlier this year. I have to use it with the accessibility feature switched on. This is because I can't see. This is a speech function that tells me what buttons I have pressed, what the name of the sounds are when scrolling through the library and also when I touch the knobs it describes the parameter that is being altered. There is a setting in the Komplete library software in preferences - hardware you need to change and then you press enter and mixer, I think, on the keyboard to turn it on. Wow it's fantastic! Now your computing problems are sorted have a go and let me know what you think. Take care.

Hi Paul, I'm so glad you're happy with your Gear and how it works with the accessibility features. I'll give it a try.

Here are some instruction out of the Komplete Kontrol user guide for accessibility feature. Videos on youtube are few and far. 1.4 Accessibility KOMPLETE KONTROL offers a set of accessibility features for visually-impaired users. These are focused exclusively on the KOMPLETE KONTROL S-Series keyboard itself and include voice-over for the following features: ▪ All Perform and Transpose buttons, Parameter Page Left / Right buttons and key Navigation buttons. ▪ All Browser functions. ▪ Instance switching. ▪ The current edit mode, including the Plug-in Panel, Scale, Arp, and Touch Strip. ▪ Names of parameters and parameter sections when touching knobs, including all edit modes. ► To activate or deactivate the accessibility features from the KOMPLETE KONTROL S-Series keyboard while the KOMPLETE KONTROL software is running, press and hold the SHIFT button on the top left of the keyboard and then press the PRESET Up button on the top right of the keyboard. → The voice-over confirms that the accessibility features have been activated or deactivated. Activating the accessibility features automatically switches KOMPLETE KONTROL’s Browse Mode to Hardware. The accessibility features are designed to be used with the KOMPLETE KONTROL plug-in. However, the KOMPLETE KONTROL stand-alone application must be opened after initial installation and after installing additional Instruments. This will ensure that all Instruments are displayed correctly in the KOMPLETE KONTROL Browser. The accessibility features are particularly useful when combined with VoiceOver and host integration in Apple Logic Pro X and GarageBand. Find more information about KOMPLETE KONTROL’s host integration features in ↑9, Host Integration. Welcome to KOMPLETE KONTROL Accessibility KOMPLETE Good luck and enjoy. Bye for now.

Glad to see your song continue on it's path, I often wondered what was happening with it after watching part I. I'm sure you're going to do stuff with the repeated phrase to make it sit better in the mix. Looking forward to part III.

[@TheThorpester]

Hi mate and thanks for commenting. Yes, the repeats need to sit better definitely but I'm not sure how at the minute. I'll be re-recording the vocals as well which will make a big difference.
