Hi Douglas. Ill steel ya bike 🙂 Loved the guitar stuff- There is something "Vintage" about your sound and also a sadness?? Mix wise I think I would look a little at the compression of the overheads as pn my speakers they are getting crushed a little too much

Just listened to this again Steve. Bring up those "shy" vocals a little bit more. Really liked this one.

I liked this one. Reminds me very much of the Berlin Underground scene many moons ago. Also a little bit of Eurythmics... mmm. Well done.

Thanks you very much for taking the time to listen and comment. All the best from me here in Norway too. God Bless. Gary

WOW: Thanks so much for the encouragement and comments. Appreciated.

Thanks for taking the time to listen pal. 🙂

Recorded the vocal to this today. It is a backing track I have adapted to my own use. (vocal is mine and the mix is mine) I have a few tuning issues-- but will get back to that soon. Was thinking today of my influences... and it was my grandparents (I am 56) but can can see where my style comes from. Take care everyone... and God Bless.

HI Steve. I could play trumpet (Royal College of Music Grade 5) but now at 57 have no teeth and having implants very shortly. I can play guitar (12 string) and a little mouth organ too. Been an event manager for nearly 30 years... but retired now due to PTSD (long story but can take it on PM if required) Have worked as a live sound engineer and still do now. Most of my work is for free as I am retired and a lot of it is in Christian churches etc. My son is gifted and so is my daughter.. but I try an source backing tracks and improve on them. The scene you see in the picture above is mine which I made for my church- P.s. Im not a religious nutter... and going to church doesn't make you a Christian as going to Mc Donalds make you a hamburger!!

Thanks so much for the encouragement Lynn. I have a Michael Jolly hand crafted ribbon Mic. I don't think you can get them anymore... its a clone of the large Sinatra Mic. 44 I spent day going through all the UAD preamps and presets and adapted and saved a few. I also used some new stuff... just experimenting really. This was first take. So looking for feedback... its not that easy judging your own stuff! I am new to this UAD stuff and learning what colours can be extracted on different things etc.Ive posted some pictures on what I used for my sound. Once again... many thanks for taking the time to listen and commenting.

Thanks so much for the encouragement Andy.

Thanks Freddy... not sure about run for money. lol. I'm going to try again... with a little more proximity effect to get more tone. I am trying out on my ribbon mic. Thanks for listening and the encouragment. Always appreciated mate.

Sure you can mate.... go for it! Make it your own!! Thanks for listening.

Thanks for listening David and taking time to comment. Appreciated.

Not at all mate... Im just a singer. This is a backing track I purchased and adapted.

Thanks so much for the feedback.... but I have not written this song. I just sang to it.

HI folks. Today I had ago at recording White Christmas. I tried to get it sounding vintage wjth UAD Chambers on my vocal and the Orchestra. Is the vocal forward enough? If you get time to listen please let me know what you think and what improvements can be done. Thanks in advance. Gary Less Chamber on the Sound Cloud Version

As always thanks Mark for the encouragement. 100% agree on the points and I am working on it. I will post an update when Im done.

Yes... you got it with the horns. Did you play muted trumpet? Very good... I also play trumpet but no as good as that. Well done.

I listened to the music first.... then watched the video and listed again. I love your voice... very unique and comes across sincere. Well done mate. Brilliant

Well done...

Nice job

Very nice mix Lynn. Loved the guitar panning and skill in your playing. Vocal layering was cool too. (even the chipmonks made a guest appearance) 🙂 Very nice job mate.

Very nice stereo image here on my Focal Trios

I didnt write... but a few little changes.

Thanks.... update coming shortly. I've added a few vocal changes.
