bjornpdx Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Story about a guy returning to his home after too many years in the cold world. It's been done before. It's kind of old school country with that unashamedly sentimental vibe to it. Fantastic vocal by Doug Kirby! Many thanks Doug. I tried hard for a realistic fiddle sound and I mostly like the result. There are a LOT of articulation controls in Bolder Sounds Fiddle but I only used 3 or 4 of them.

David Sprouse Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 who wrote the lyrics? Interesting angle on country music. This is a good DEMO of your song! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornpdx Posted March 15, 2020 Author Share Posted March 15, 2020 Jesse Yes, I am a legend in my own mind. 😁 Oohs and aahs is a good suggestion! I had a strings track for a while but it didn't work. freddy Thanks for your always positive comments. mr t Thanks. Gonna have to check out Union Station. soundregion Thanks. I appreciate the comment. David Lyrics and music by me, but Doug made it his own. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookiee Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Just as you said @bjornpdx it has that old country vibe, sound swell captured here @Douglas Kirby vocal is nice and clear as are the other instruments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhonoBrainer Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Well, super collab! Ideas for the mix? I'd drop the violin that is playing underneath Doug's singing. Doug's voice is more than strong enough to capture the interest, and the violin noodle underneath is for me more distracting than enhancing. By all means keep the violin in the breaks! Just my .02 haystacks. Keep it going, gents! cheers, -Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornpdx Posted March 16, 2020 Author Share Posted March 16, 2020 Thanks Wookie. I appreciate the comment. Tom I was hoping someone would comment on the fiddle and what you said is just what I had expected. Yeah it seemed to me the fiddle was too busy most of the time and being more distracting than contributing anything musical. I tamed it quite a bit but apparently not enough. Thanks.

Douglas Kirby Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Cheers Bjorn - I just gave it another listen - that was a lot of fun working on this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geeare1 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Hi Bjorn, very nice song, mix and vocal. It's really impressive (to me) that you get such an organic sound using virtual instruments. The fiddle sounds great. I had never heard of Bolder Sounds but I'll have to check them out. Great job! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornpdx Posted March 17, 2020 Author Share Posted March 17, 2020 Doug It was great working with you. Thanks. geeare1 Thanks for commenting. The Bolder Sounds violin sounds authentic to me. Trick is to put in all those key switch articulations to give it a better performance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnbee58 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Lovely Americana feel. The vocal is great but has a bit too much high end on it. I'm not listening on the best of conditions though. Maybe it's my bad. 😊John B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn Wilson Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Bjorn, you and Douglas did a good job on this production! You are quite the storyteller, and this is one to be proud of. Btw, it's such a pleasure to work with you, and I want all to know that. Carry on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornpdx Posted March 24, 2020 Author Share Posted March 24, 2020 JohnB - Thanks! Americana feel - I like it. I was going for an old style country song so maybe I succeeded. Lynn Thanks! Feeling is mutual. It's great to be able to collaborate regardless of the distances, time zones and quarantines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
