God , I hope our Alabama governor doesn't see this. She'll never sign the new medical marijuana bill. Great one .. mark

@bjornpdx I Appreciate the comment about the extras in the background. I did a remix to bring them forward some but lost something in the process , so I deleted and didn't use it. I also love a mournful sound of a low cello. Maybe I'll find a better one some day. @Bajan Blue Great violin story. I traded mine for something .. Also gave up on bagpipes but they look cool on the wall. I've been wondering if I could extract midi from a cello audio track , pitch it up and send it to a violin virtual instrument ?? Thanks .. mark

Bob , Very nice and relaxing song , I really Enjoyed it . Personally I wouldn't "release" one without sending it here first . I've made some pretty drastic improvements from the comments and suggestions from the pros here on the forum. mark

Freddy and Lynn , That was utterly Fantastic! That was quite an intro .. I always liked playing with someone who could work a crowd and this sounds like a Real "live" bar performance. My wife was a managing partner at a boat harbor restaurant/bar that had live music on the weekends. Closing my eyes and listening I almost felt like I was in the room. I think if you Really want to go with the "live" feel , the guitar panning should be a little more conservative. There's just not that much separation on a stage. I think some high mids on the vocals would also be helpful and a few timing tweeks on the left guitar. I hope you don't think I'm getting too picky , but I think you can get a Stellar song out of this . Very impressive ! I believe you guys Really got it together on this one.. mark

Thank You Douglas. I'm a big jazz fan and it's about All I listen to in my car. I've always liked the way jazz drummers do circles around the main beat , so this comment really hit home for me . Thanks .. mark

Very nice light and airy "feel good" song and mix. You hit the spot with this one. Enjoyed it , Thanks .. mark

Thanks Tom. I never feel like I'm done with one until You've weighed in on it. I enjoyed playing the drum and learned some things about recording it that I'll change next time. As far as the cello , I've had it probably 3 or 4 years. The only time I play it is when I'm recording a song. I still can't hold it like a real cello player and have to look at the markers I've painted on the side of the neck , but it is an instrument I can truly "feel" while playing it. I tried my best on a violin for about a year before giving up. Maybe a viola someday .. mark

Thank You to "everyone" I'm having a hard time absorbing the great comments on this one Without hearing the suggestions on how to fix it. @Johnbee58 I didn't know anything about a cajon in the Santana era. The first time I saw one was watching a guy play one in a Caribbean band in Cancun. He actually had big metal tines on the side of it and played bass at the same time ! and it sounded Fantastic. @emeraldsoul I can honestly say "Nothing" is thought out. I record as I write , and Never know where it's going . I couldn't play it again if I had to . @noynekker All I can say is "Thank You" for your appreciated comment. This has to be the greatest and most helpful recording forum on this planet . mark

I got bored and built a cajon box drum. I've been intrigued by their sound , but have only heard cheezy performances with them. With the exception of piano rolled kettle drum and cymbals all percussive drums were done on the cajon . (with and without the snares engaged). I figured it would be a strange mix with a cello , so this was done as an experiment. I'm getting tired of programming drums and using loops .. I think this drum will be useful in the future somewhere.. All comments and suggestions will be great. mark

Very creative treatment on the vocals . I thought it all came together well around the 1:18 mark. Very nice . That is one of the flattest waveforms I think I've ever seen without sounding too over compressed. Good job ... mark

Bought a really nice t-shirt today with the Fender logo on it ( thrift store). My wife said "It was So cheap because the "F" was backwards .. Am I the only person in the world that has never noticed this .. WTF ms

Transitory Evening - Music video with a tonne of CGI and live action
mark skinner replied to Chris Boshuizen's topic in Songs
Excellent . I believe all the work put into this production was Well worth it. Very much enjoyed .. mark -
If I had this guys talent , I would be sitting there until I starved to death ..

Very clean ! I love the treatment of the instrument coming in at 1:38 , it sounds like it starts singing. I think the section coming in at 2:50 needs punched Harder.. Loved the ambient crowd coming in near the end , very creative. Waiting on the dance video of you showing off your moves .. mark
-
Jack , great job on the vocals. You're timing was perfect. You should try some deep drawn out Bowie type backing vocals behind the main vox sometime .. Enjoyed it mark
-
Lots of cool sounds here and a Very nice mix. Every new sound and instrument came in and out Smooth. Sounded like a pretty big project. Enjoyed it .. mark
-
Bjorn , Very cool . The song had some Very nice sounds evoking different feelings. There were also some great visuals on the video. I really liked the white outlined effect. After I get a better grasp on audio I'd like to learn a little about video. I'm sure there's a Lot more to it than "meets the eye" Great job .. mark

Good video. I thought the blended strings section worked very well. mark
-
Fantastic guitar work and panning. My only suggestion would be to change the name of the rapid ! mark
-
Super nice well balanced pro mix. Great vocals and harmony. I Really enjoyed this one .. mark
-
I Liked It. Very good job on the keys and vocals. Loved the melody of the choruses. That was also a very creative ending .. mark

Are you leaving enough empty space after all the instruments stop playing ? Is this happening during export (with FX checked) or are you bouncing inside the project..
-
OK , I'm calling this one done and moving on. @noynekkerThanks for the extra time evaluating this one. You must have a better car stereo than I do. I wasn't very impressed with mine. @emeraldsoulThanks for getting picky. I found a low piano part conflicting with the nylon guitar in the intro. I corrected it but probably won't repost . Thanks to "everyone" for the help and comments. mark

I thought that was a Very nice and clear mix. The chorus and treatment of it was Fantastic! You still captured a great hip hop vibe. I've often wondered where you are from , but could never put my finger on your accent after listening to your older songs . Great job .. mark
