Wow, you made good use of this great software, Steve.  This is a lovely song which could only be better if your vocal was a little louder to showcase your incredible voice.  I  hope this is a springboard for your prolific songwriting!  Keep it up

See what you think of the remix Lynn

That sounded very nice considering it was 'thrown together' - I can't wait to see what you can produce once you really get stuck into it. 🙂 

Welcome to the EzKeys club - I've used it on a lot of my songs (sometimes building a song from the midi packs and more recently using the replace midi feature where you use the midi packs to play 'in the style of'). There's a lot under the hood of EZK 2 I still haven't got my head around - if I only had more time but there's precious chance of that at present as still in the thick of a house renovation project.

Andy

Hi Andy, sorry I didn't mean to sound glib when I said thrown together .. or big headed ...All I needed to do was see how this thing worked and I never spent too much time on production., as my friend Lynn pointed out LOL.

Regarding the software, I'm with you, just getting used to how it works. The one thing I love is the setting for MIDI OUT and it's a game changer, I use a lot of NI stuff and I have started to use this function for all kinds of instruments .. works great with other types of pianos but I've tried it out on bass lines and guitars ..blows your mind when you think back to the old days, using tape or the ATARI ... wish I had this kind of stuff when I was a kid ! 

Oh and BTW good luck with the house renovation 🏘️

Steve

I liked 'I AM THE WALRUS' more .... really suited you vocal

Steve

Is it my bad .. or have you been away for a l o n g time ... good vibe ( As usual ) love your stuff & vocal ... Mix is spot on ... great post !👊

It's all your fault, which was a point I made to Fran (the wife), when she bulked at the price ... LOL ..😉

 BTW ( I just threw this one together just to see how this software worked so thanks for the comment 👊)

Stay well mate

Sounds good, I've been waiting for Ezkeys to go on sale.

So was I .. but as I have EZY drums2 .. and that still isn't on sale .. I guess I had to bite the bullet  ... still not sure if it's worth the cost but it does help with songwriting 🎸 thanks for the comment

ATB

Steve

Just trying out EZY Keys,  really good toy so thanks Lynn 😉 THE REMIX IS BELOW so see what you think .. and thanks for the listen 🎧

THE REMIX IS BELOW

Great lyrics! Really love the vibe, suits this song a treat !

Steve

HM-mm ....  I dunno Wooks, your stuff gets me into trouble with the misses, in that I find myself humming to a song I've never heard  ... but I have ... It's these compositions  you write !!

Much love

One thing I forgot to mention was that interconnection off this sort often results in a ground loop hum. I remember trying the headphone output of my Blackstar amp and it was terrible. 
 

A DI box is only needed if you are recording both the amp with a mike and also want the direct signal from the guitar. A very common and excellent way to record. 
But a DI box won’t help record the sound of the amp.
Audio interfaces are in a way a basic DI box. The Scarlett has an instrument input that can be toggled to match up with different impedances. 
A cheap DI might sound worse than that. A real good DI can cost twice as much as a SM57. 
 

Being a person who has tried just about everything at least once it’s like this. 
Best guitar tone- Tube amp / Mike 

Next Hybrid Modelling amp/ mike

Next -Directly into interface and Guitar Sim 

Things that didn’t work very well— effects pedals directly into interface. 
Headphone output to interface, USB output to computer. 
And then my attempts at Re-Amping also didn’t work well. 

Well said sir ...

Just seen your idea to set up a solo ! Yikes!!  I agree with John Vere .. You should be very  careful when using an Aux out to anything that can't handle a high output signal ( Like an Aux out ) ..Even though John suggests setting your input very low, so as not to overload the preamp, ( excellent advice )  you might still get distortion from this signal. The Solo is made to use with it's USB to PC and then to your desired DAW, meaning your inputs from the SOLO go to your PC and then back to the SOLO, which should be heard from either cans or speakers, ( Monitors). Read jesse g's suggestion if your amp sound is really the sound you want ..

My strong advice is to look at the Focusrite W/S and study how your £140.00 device works as it comes with plugs like Marshall sounds etc ... before you damage it ... plus it should help with other setups you might want to make in the future ... KNOW YOUR GEAR  ...🎧

Chaps has a good idea .. 😉

Thanks Steve appreciate your time and comments.

I did actually write some lyrics but never felt the need to sing them but here they are.

Just It
Just was
Just how

Just when

Just pain

Just lost
Just confused
Just waiting

I have never wanted to air a message so personal so I won't  .. I have always felt music comes from the heart  ... My guess is we kinda know each other, over these years ... maybe too well., but with ever-out  meeting ... My message ... I hear you 🧷

Stay well

Powerful vocal here. As to the top end. I am new to hearing aids. Mine hype the top end, that’s where I’m deficient. When listening to music I pull the top end down a bit. Still trying to find the “sweet spot”. My “knackered” ears felt the vocal sat nicely in the mix. But don’t take that to the “bank”. 
👍 ‘s 👏

t

fir some reason SC hates my iPhone. Left a like and comment, looks like the “like” registered, but not the comment. Stupid SC…

Sorry to know about that t ... at 73 and with my history I don't hear so well either... As my right lug is well low, my studio is pumped on the right to give me the same balance  ... If I popped my clogs I don't think anyone would get it .. but at that point I wouldn't care LOL

All the Best

Steve

WhOo no dig mate, but godda say it's not what you see .. more what you hear ...  I see from the graph the 1 and2k are in scope, strange 'cause I still feel the vox is a little toppy on the 'S' & 'Ts'

Just my cans I spose

Love ya man 🤪

Steve

You are one talented bloke .. got to say excellent work!!

Steve

Great sound here Gary great mix too. Only one crit there seems to be a tad too much high end on the vox .. but.

ATB

Steve

My mum and Dad used to listen to this stuff back when I was a kid ( I'm 73 now ) ... Took me back to those simpler days, what a great post ..thanks 😌

ATB

Steve

Well produced, I didn't think the vibe was a sad one, plus I agree with Bats that it has a strong Floyd feel... Nice work mate 👍

Steve

Excellent mix, skill and video ... really enjoyed this one .. thanks for the post  ...  ( and now I have Les Paul envy )

SRM

Well done M8 ..and good to have you back and well again 🤝 ( Cool look in the bins )

Hi steve

This is great - I really enjoyed listening to it

Listening on cheap headphones via my phone, but still sounds good.

I shall definitly listen to it again when I can get back into my  studio - got hit in the eye playing squash and now onto my third operation - not allowed to move for about a week  after each one!!!!

My favorites - A Few and Fallen

Great album

Nigel
