Love the wobbly detune thing this has. It's 1980, and its early Level 42! Or maybe Incognito. Really fun stuff. If you posted the chord changes, it would kind of ruin the listening experience! cheers, -Tom

Nice one here! Guitars are clean and crisp. Well played, too! I like the rhythm/chugged thing panned wide? Great. Play a verse. Listen at the same time for the snare and your vocal. Which is louder? For me, the snare. So as to experiment, bring the vocal up half a db, the snare down half a db. Might be interesting. Might also control the wacky bright hi hat, left side, 2:21 ish. That's a catchy number! cheers, -Tom

If you love something, release it, and if it comes back to you, and only three other people in the world hear it, then that's modern music for you.

I likes me a Daryl tune. If you have Kontakt, there's some nice pizzicato strings in 8dio's Adagietto. cheers, -Tom

I agree, fun. The voice you chose works and is interesting. That hi-hat panned right seems to be off the beat, ahead of the beat, occasionally, kind of distracting. It's an unusual mix of elements, and for a visual mix I think you did pretty darn well! cheers, -Tom

Hi Jesse or whomever, Nice to see you here. Very creative as usual. I didn't hear anything else like this today. Thank You! That was one funky breakdown at the end, bro. cheers, -Tom

uh, really really good. Appreciate the live video performance! cheers, -Tom

Any thoughts on the Weiss compressor? $199? I heard it was used on that huge Adele smash album a couple of years ago. Sounded like pretty good music. Yes, Adele Weiss.

Listened to both, I really like your touch, and better, your choices, particularly on "Rain in Florence" which I guess is the newer one? Great tone on that piano or vsti! cheers, -Tom

Very interesting tune! Vocally, you've got a flanger or microtune on it? Maybe? One danger of that kind of processing is that it can leave things thin. Can you EQ some mids back in? Particularly on the chorus? Do you have a "tape" simulator? A good one of these can add a nice weight to things. Other than that, I like the mix and the instrumental performances. And the vocals are just fine - (were they mic'd with a condenser-type mic?) . . . but it does feel like the vocals are struggling to keep up with the weight of the instruments, which are mixed well. Double-tracking the vocal with a different mic that adds more weight (like a good dynamic mic) might be a help! Interested to see where you take it. cheers, -Tom

Duuuude! Full Joe Walsh mode! Waay fun. Sorry to have you gone so long, glad you are back. I'm still getting used to the Bandlab ecosystem. First up, your song came right out of the gate LOUD cause the Bandlab player was maxxed from the get go. And I suspect your tune had plenty of volume. I really like your vocals, and of course, the lyrics. Fly that flag, bro. I don't know about you, but did you hear the less-than-seamless edits, for example 2:32 - seems like you cut and pasted in a song section and maybe missed the rhythm a little - or was that courtesy of the Bandlab upload process? Hard to tell. I'm sure you'll get on top of it. I would also vote for a vocals-up mix, and I think you have room to decrease volume on that piano. Said a piano player More Lynn songs are always a good thing to my ears. cheers, -Tom

A nice clean recording with a sense of fun. Cool visuals to boot. I dug the hyper-chair aerobics! Must try those. cheers, -Tom

Banal and Pastiche University?

Test reply! Cool groove and vid. Not bad for one day! Had a T. Dolby feel. At once optimistic and creepy! Mix was very clear indeed. -Tom
