Keith Wilby

I'll revisit that, thanks.

Appreciate the amount of effort put into the video but I can take it or leave it TBH. What I heard, however, I can't fault in any way. You should be immensely proud, and I bet you are 🙂 👍

Good point, thanks

One word: beautiful.

I do hope that posting this again in a new thread doesn't contravene any etiquette rules. I really do hope I've finished this now, as I'm sure you do 🤭 This version uses my recently acquired Session Strings 2 which I think sounds a lot more natural. Hope you enjoy it. Again 🙄 https://www.bandlab.com/wilbyforce/the-best-is-yet-to-come-c5210d88?revId=7d169b76-4219-ec11-981f-a04a5e798978

I would also try halving the hi-hat to eighths and putting emphasis on the leading beats. Got I'm getting nit picky now 😄

It's a really nice tune and the bass sound reminds me of a Lou Reed song (Men of Good Fortune) which is no bad thing. As others have noted, guitar too loud in the mix - and don't forget that you can automate the mix with time, bringing parameters up and down as you require them to make the mix the way you want it. That's what I do anyway. Keep it up, Cakewalk is a great toy and keeps me occupied for hours at a time.

Much appreciate the feedback Lynn and so glad you enjoyed it 🙂👍

Same. It never did Lou Reed any harm 😄

The new link includes a later vocal with harmonies. Drums are Addictive Drums 2 with everything separated out post-fader and the "room" mic turned up a bit.

Hi all, hope you're all surviving this COVID nonsense. Here's my latest work in progress, hope you like it. Comments welcome as always. EDIT: link to correct recording, previous one done in error. https://www.bandlab.com/wilbyforce/humanrights21mastered-d21d59d8?revId=781bfb12-efeb-eb11-b563-501ac5b31db1

I'm going to see what I can do about that now

I've ummed and ah-ed about that intro for ages and still can't quite work out whether or not it's too long.

Bit of a faltering guide vocal on this one. Written in 1995, this is genuinely how I felt after a failed and short-lived affair, when I completely lost myself in alcohol for many months ("pissed" in the UK sense meaning "drunk"). Too self-indulgent? As always, created using CbB. Comments invited 🙂 https://www.bandlab.com/wilbyforce/thegarden21-674e402a?revId=412e39b2-03bb-eb11-a7ad-0050f280467f

Thanks guys, the penny has finally dropped
