HI Wookie

As others have said, a sad vibe to this one, but very enjoyable none the less

Cool stuff

Nigel

 

Thanks Nigel, not sure I intend sad, but I found this patch on the CX-80 that just sounded cool, then for some really bizarre reason I played an F followed by an F# and the rest is history.

May have been. Still working on who it was.

Just learn that if it is female it's senior management, accept that simple fact and your life will be so much easier. (No it doesn't mean that they are always right but.......)

Thanks Wookiee. Not sure what the offending word was! Anyway, no worries 🙂

Grem, the varnish on that neck really is thick. It's a 2019 Mexican Vintera Strat. I've done a few rosewood necks before and they're a piece of cake. This was my first attempt at maple. Why they varnish over the frets, I don't know. A production cost saver? I can't think of any other reason. I did indeed use a pointed-tip scalpel to cut between the fretboard and the fret, hence the scratches! I also used a soldering iron to warm up the frets. Today I found an alternative YT vid to the one I followed where the presenter used a round-tip scalpel and no iron. I think I'll try that next time - next time being the serious one, my dear old 86 Tele.  Gulp..

 

As far as I could see, it was a word most foul, or even fowl, hated by many.

What s a p p. A dangerous word wrapped in mysterious forces. 

It has been the favourite platform for the purveyors of nar c o t ics, certain vegetation, voo-doo d o l l s, l o v e sp e ll s etc.

@craigb and that will be enough of your sauce, do you know how they make that stuff?

@Matt Rayner due to the spam we have recently been experiencing you unfortunately used a banned word. As I see you managed to post refrazed.

@projectm the "couldn't understand a word" comment a tongue in cheek joke, I was wondering if we were to get some throat singing. Which I always find intriguing and fascinating.

Good instrumental … I liked the theme and arrangement… a bit sad mood but still beautiful.

Thank you sir, sometimes life can be a little sad.

Nice balance in the mx, each voice has space to breath.  Slight digital edge to the mix.

Nice guitar work Lynn, interesting Vox Daryl, nice drumming Hugo.  Nice bass Ed, though I found it a little to forward when Daryl was singing, just my two Triganic Pu's worth.

As always reasonable production.

Mix sounds balanced, didn't understand a word, like Nigel the vox could be a little more forward.

They own Soundforge as well don't they?

Good bass and kick sound and sync on this one.

Thanks Steve.

Nice

Sounds quite good, here, could be interesting to know what instruments you used?

To these furry ears, the overall kit balance if off, to much overheads.  Did you program the drums? If so did you make use of velocity to control dynamics?

A question though, is this a tune with just a drummer and bass guitar? Even so the drums are a little to busy.

Good to hear Nigel, you do do excellent work

Personally it would have to be Sonar, I see Next as an introductory DAW, possibly even competition, but with more function,  with a certain fruit based computers supplied DAW.

Thank you, most kind, glad you had an enjoyable Sunday moment 😊

Nice, has an epic feel to it.

Thanks, I suppose it does have that sense. Appreciate your taking the time to listen and comment. 

Works here mix wise.

Interesting project, with interesting results.  

Nicely done track mix works nicely here.

Works well here, there is something very personal about the whole song.  

I suspect we all are a little Jack, mixes are definitely improving.
