Don't let the sun set - New original song recorded with CbB

[daryl1968 419]

Hi Folks

I have been hanging around the original Cakewalk forum for some years but this is my first post here.

Here's an original song, written and recorded by me entirely in Cakewalk by Bandlab. 

Nits and crits welcome.

 

[Starise 899]

Well I can see you don't need any *ahem* coaching on this one 😁

I would love to know what you do to get such a clean sounding recording. Are you running through some kind of high end gear?  I guess I just need to learn how to mix.

The mix on my end is pristine. No mud to be found anywhere.

[Will 75]

I'd put a low-pass on the percussion, but otherwise it's a beautiful thing man. Love the lyrics especially.

[Wookiee 1,222]

All the hallmarks of a Staypress production on this Daryl, not hearing the need for a low-pass on the purcussion here but that could these furry ears.

Nice job. 🙂

I Am a true fan !!!

Great song!

[Elepha3 0]

Sounds great! 

[quantumeffect 4]

Love the groove.  Excellent job on the percussion!  The "fade - a - way" on the outro fade is a nice touch 🙂

[Kevin Walsh 137]

Love the sparse arrangement and great vocals with clever lyrics, as always. Very fine work!

[Lynn Wilson 570]

I can only add to the praise for this song.  I like the way you keep your mixes clean by not cluttering them up.  It really makes mixing so much easier.  Your works never fail to bring a smile to me, as well as your impeccable delivery.  Have a prosperous new year, my friend!

My only tiny crit is that your vocal should be up a db or two.

Other than that, sheer perfection!

[Leadfoot 132]

This is great Daryl! I love the reggae beat. That bass line is awesome! I don't know what vsti you're using, but it fits the song perfectly. Cleverly written lyrics, as always. I love your voice as well! Mix sounds spot on to me. Great song man!

Thanks Tim - no particular high end gear - Focusrite Saffire interface

Thanks so much Leadfoot - I can't remember what I used for the bass but it's probably 2 or 3 sounds layered - that's what I usually do.

 

Is that OK @paulo ?
