Wookiee

Mix works here, it does exhibit some level of early writing naivety but then we all suffered. ( or suffer still from that.)

@David Sprouse You had some fun with this, not sure it invoked the Yoga position of downward facing Dog, but it made my furry ears smile.

Thanks Freddy this was born from me noodling with some chords and realising that my shaking paws were not going to let me play it all. So I played what I could and then slung the chords at EZKeys. Extracted the output as straight MID I then edited them a bit and we ended up with this. Again thank you for your kind words and encouragement.

It can make for some interesting issues when the aftertouch is overly pensive on some of the synth voices. Thank you Jeff for your kind and encouraging words.

Appropriate for the time, perhaps if the silly old men who think they should rule the world were required to be front and centre of the fighting line we woudl not have so much death of innocents. Just a few tweaks to the mix should see this shine Freddy.

As always the music is sweet, yes the vocals are over processed but we all have to learn and we only learn by doing.

If you are happy with it then its good as they say one never finishes a track one only ever surrenders them. Fundamentally the mix sounds fine, timing errors just go to prove you are human.

Only listened to the OP version you have overtones of Tom's vocal in your voice, mix sounded OK.

Always a pleasure to hear you music Jeff, I have only listened to the BBC version I must say they instrumentation sounds very authentic to these furry ears. I know they are samples but I always make time when the BBC proms are on to listen to real orchestra's, I am very fortunate to own some very cool Hi Fi speakers, as you know and I believe the guy how designed the Epos was a big classical fan.

Thank you Bjorn you are most kind.

The bottom end Bass and Drums are quite hypnotic and well presented, mix generally works here.

This would prove very popular with the new age and psychic fairs peeps. I had a friend who used to sell assorted (scented etc) candles at those sorts of fairs spent the day with him at one once I swear every CD they played was this, no offence the guys selling the CD's sold loads. Mix translates here OK

No not you Keith in another thread from another regular contributor. A Little break down. Basically you bring all the instruments back to basic's, simple rhythm from the drums and bass, nothing to flowery from the keys and guitars. You must have been to a live gig where the singer has said break down.

Having been rebuked after my last comment about vocals I will say nothing about your vocal. My only though was I wonder if a little break down about two thirds though might not have given it a little lift.

Very pleasant Jerry, most enjoyable, it flowed beautifully from section to section.

This is not quite correct, but I tend not to sing as Wookiee singing is lethal to all none Wookiee life forms within a parsec or two of the offending Wookiee. 🤔😎 You may however wish to risk life and limb by listening to Watching the Black on my Soundcloud page. Apologies Mark for the minor highjack.

Thank you David, at least it's not Parkisons which my Dad had. Nice to know you found the chord progression and the whole a pleasant listen.

I can say I enjoyed this.

@mark skinner One has got ones funky groove on here, love the groove, as always exceptional playing, mix is sounding nice here, why spoil it with vocals, just bring that lead a up a little and let your licks shine

As noted by the Bat the snare is right for the genre his observation about being a little to tight is also probably a good point, mix translates here on the Adam's

Classic Bats, slick guitar and mix, nice Bats as ever nice.

@batsbrew thanks, I had considered them as being a little more forward, but settled on the current level. There's no FX other than reverb on the Quadra, it is after all music for lifts. Thanks for the ears and the comments.

Keep it polite please. Personal comments seen as attacks can have consequences

Shame, I was not aware of that never had occasion to use Mackle mode

Thanks nice to hear you were moved by this. They come and go unpredictably with no real clue. Thank you for your kind words on the mix. As ever your ears and comments are appreciated.
