  1. More Doug being Kirby! A little more "dirt" on the vocal this time, eh? I've mentioned this before, A Gray Colored Sky definitely has a "sound" and a "vibe". Note: My ears are not at their much "battered" best lately (tree pollen allergies). The guitar on the left seems to "dominate" just a little too much, use your best judgement. All 'round; more thumbs to ya baby, continue to rock on! t
  2. Welcome to the forum Dave. Not my genre, but I'm thinking this is pretty spot on for Synth-Pop. It grooves right along. First rate vocal, well done. I'm thinking a little top notch mastering and you've got a radio ready single. t

    SLAMMED, Please excuse my SHOUTING, but even with your warning, Youch! As I said re: Biro, where do you want to go with this? t
  4. Opus Obscura, I like that! Play that "funky" music, bring that funky guitar up just a bit. Oh I like that breakdown at 3:20 ish. That riff, yeah bass, horns; Yeah, Yeah, Yeah! I don't recognize the speech... Thumbs, thumbs, thumps!!! t
  5. I can hear the kick! Thumbs up for sure! t you might add -new mix to the title, I totally missed yesterday that you had updated the tune...
  6. Jesse, yikes sometime in the dark something happened to your voice! It's that dam cat, ouch. Oh, man I'm sorry! t you should credit your lovely assistant! thumbs to both of ya!
  7. If I told you, he'd have to, well you know....
  8. Here's a peace offering, I've got a track for you! fooled_around.cwp right click and "Save Link As" Long story, I have a plethora of midi tracks, some I've done, some I've bought, and many I "harvested" years ago. Somewhere I had found a program that scrounged the net for .mid files. Here's a sample of the track Fooled Around PM if you have any issues or need some help! t
  9. Hey Wooks, I’ve downloaded, I’ll get out to the studio later. Be safe brother, you might have to shave those furry paws to keep them clean. ?
  10. Schools closed, spring training cancelled and the season at risk (who cares about basketball and hockey!) I could go on and on... and now this? t I'm mad as hell and I can't take it anymore!
  11. Yikes! That's not what I meant! Oh boy, stuck my big foot in another one... t
  12. and throw in a little Union Station I must say I agree with you both! t
  13. Not so much a "mix" comment, but I "hear" a quick double tap on the kick in those "pauses"; just me. As far as the mix, sure there are some levels and little things, mostly "stylistic", but a few that need addressing. Not sure on the kick, Bose cans are so "hyped" I can't give accurate advice there, but I'm thinking it needs something. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen! Right? All said and done; fine tune! Gotta give you some props there! t
  14. Don’t change things to please me. If it makes sense, give it a try. But always, always, be true to your vision. As I said, we would have a conversation, and go with what best serves the song. t
  15. Drop the "ands" in the verse and "See a smile from across the room, its amazing". Sometimes "meter" is way more important than "grammar" maybe "Just a smile is all it took, to get my heart beating again" hold "smile" and "heart" that "took" is short and beat ting a gin, those are 8ths (I think), tat tat tat tat; if you follow? I'm pretty sure I've got you "riled" up by now, but if I'm behind the glass, this is the conversation we're having. One last crit, if I may, where's the kick? I'm hearing the snare, where's the rest of the kit? Please don't take any of the personally, like I said above; this is the conversation we'd be having. If I didn't see hear "something" in the tune, there'd be no conversation... t
  16. Let's be honest here Pat, this charted at #3 back in the day, and evidently the Guardians sound track went #1? This is a big tune! And Mickey Thomas, not Elvin (wisely), tore it up with the vocal! Total honesty here, not a personal attack, but why am I not surprised? (facebook response) This is not a "straight" cover. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're going for a kind of Hendrixy guitar, on what was a keys driven pop tune. You're gonna have to "massage" this backing track, and then if I'm behind the glass, don't "force" the vocal. I'd try it laid back, almost conversational. But that's just me... Again, honestly? not so much. Don't take any of this personal, I have a looong history of taking on big vocals, and more guitar (your guitar work is fine, so this comment is sole about me and not you!) than I can handle. Baby, I've walked this "trail of tears", I got the scars to prove it!
  17. I present this only for its historical perspective, and so consider it not to be a violation of our TOS: in 1972 then President Richard Nixon was seeking re-election, he was unaffectionately known as "Tricky Dick". There were two posters out, one with the phrase "Would you buy a used car from this man?". The other "Don't change Dicks in the middle of a screw". I'll leave it to your imagination... Thank you, but you as well are far too kind. That or a grinding harp with the "whoo whoo" train sound! t the axe
  18. Bjorn, you are too kind. This bad boy is "public domain" now, bring it on! t
  19. Glad we didn't start that pool, I'd of lost my tushy! t
  20. Can't take credit for that, but I jumped on pretty quickly. The muse tortured me for two night running with this, then inspired me to go public. I live but to serve my queen; She shall have her way... the true test of our friendship, is never having to alter our beliefs, to maintain that friendship. t remember, Ralph Murphy's law of songwriting: "we write songs about people we've never met, doing things we've never done, in places we've never been"
