All the punching in and out we ruined the heads and kind of barely salvaged a years worth of band recording. I do think certain things sounded better recorded to tape, rhythm guitar sounds were great, vocals were better too. Don't remember mine being midi, just a cassette. Yep it was midi capable in that the 8th track could be 'striped' with an MTC (Midi Time Code), now sadly defunked, which could be hooked up to drive a DAW's time code from the external i/p. If MTC could be reunited (There is something called a 'midizer which converts MTC but it's a rare and v expensive thing) with my DAW's there would be so much I could get down and revamp as so much has changed since my purchase😞. I could rant about this bit'o'kit but just stop here. thanks for the comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But look what the Beatles did with bouncing tracks on a 4 track machine .... admittedly it was a £30 gran dish Studer ... but hey ho Steve Edited January 28, 2022 by SupaReels 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Sprouse Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Lyrics could stand on their own as a work of art. The vocals are a little more passionate..on T2? There's a cohesiveness to your songs that a lot of us lack here; I mean, really up there with the best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynn Wilson Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Another great song in a long list of great songs! It filled my listening space with lush sounds, terrific lyrics, and your expressive voice. The arrangement is impressive because it builds as it goes along pulling it with me. I always find your work inspiring, and I will endeavor to bring my own songs up to your level. thank, mate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhonoBrainer Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I love this song. 'nuff said. Maybe the vocal could have a tad more air or upper eq? I listened to your previous version and thought that vocal had a better sheen to it, actually. No, not what anyone wants to hear!!! It might be worth an A/B comparison but I'm sure you have already done that 1,000 times! Could be just me. That piano add in the outtro is haunting. The rhythm builds as you go along, really pulls you in. cheers, -Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O/put thereby leaving it on its own mix ... some of the mids to highs were affected, and as the mix wasn't for a customer I felt it would do .... so I did notice the A/B discrepancy you commented on ... I have since slapped my wrist for being a lazy sod LOL Thanks Tom for your time Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookiee Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 @SupaReels Mix works for me here, nice song well performed. I must confess I saw the T2 in the title and wondered if it was going to be like the Rock Band T2 is saw back in my collage days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddy j Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Excellent lyrics (passion, compassion, introspective, etc.) and the feeling in your vocal most definitely delivered the message. The musical arrangement, performance, and mix all sounded excellent. This is an impressive piece of work! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
