Keith Wilby 77 Posted February 25 Hi all, here's my latest WIP created in CbB. Lead guitar is a little shaky at the moment but I'm working on itย ๐ https://www.bandlab.com/wilbyforce/bestisyettocome2-a09a4bf1?revId=fa6c0d5b-6c77-eb11-9889-0050f28a50ba Comments invited 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daryl1968 417 Posted February 25 Hey Keith - I hope you are well . I like this a lot - nice open mix. Arrangement-wise, I was waiting for the drums to come in earlier but that's a personal taste thing 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KurtS 112 Posted February 25 I like the song. For me ย less delay on the vocals would sound better. I feel like it fights with the delay on the keys. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freddy j 404 Posted February 25 I enjoyed the song, particularly when the drums came in and the tempo increased a bit!ย I might agree with Kurt on the delay.ย Perhaps playing around with the timing of the delay might result in it matching it a bit better with the keys.ย However, having said that, I am a sucker for delay and reverb.ย I have been a frequent abuser of them and so, I guess my comment should be measured against my abuse (lol). Very nice work on this song. ย 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mark skinner 315 Posted February 26 ย Great job ! I thought your vocals were Very good on this one. Maybe bring them up a db. I didn't think the lead guitar was shaky at all , but could be mixed back a little and back up at the very ending. I could hear and feel a delay problem , but for me ย it was the timing of the delay on the Piano instead of the vocals. I really liked the cinematic feel you got here.ย ย Enjoyed itย ..ย mark 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lynn Wilson 494 Posted February 26 You've gotten good advice here on the mix, but, overall, this song has the potential to be a gem.ย The lyrics are quite good, and if you make the vocal shine, this will be stellar.ย Well done! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keith Wilby 77 Posted March 1 I think this is my final mix on this, so thanks again for your comments folks. I've taken the delay off the vocal, added reverb and changed the EQ as I thought the voice sounded a little thin, unlike meย ๐คญ On percussion, I think "less is more" on this one but I've panned the crash cymbals and put in some drum fills. I've also put a bit of melancholic string quartet over the previously solo piano bit in the middle. I think it's a huge improvement. I hope you enjoy it. https://www.bandlab.com/wilbyforce/bestisyettocome2-066a17c5?revId=cc0d1963-6b7a-eb11-9889-0050f28a50ba 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
