Keith Wilby Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Hi all, here's my latest WIP created in CbB. Lead guitar is a little shaky at the moment but I'm working on it 😄 https://www.bandlab.com/wilbyforce/bestisyettocome2-a09a4bf1?revId=fa6c0d5b-6c77-eb11-9889-0050f28a50ba Comments invited 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daryl1968 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSband Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I like the song. For me less delay on the vocals would sound better. I feel like it fights with the delay on the keys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddy j Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I enjoyed the song, particularly when the drums came in and the tempo increased a bit! I might agree with Kurt on the delay. Perhaps playing around with the timing of the delay might result in it matching it a bit better with the keys. However, having said that, I am a sucker for delay and reverb. 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark skinner Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 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 it was the timing of the delay on the Piano instead of the vocals. I really liked the cinematic feel you got here. Enjoyed it .. mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn Wilson Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 You've gotten good advice here on the mix, but, overall, this song has the potential to be a gem. The lyrics are quite good, and if you make the vocal shine, this will be stellar. Well done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Wilby Posted March 1, 2021 Author Share Posted March 1, 2021 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 me 🤭 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
