Keith Wilby 135 Posted June 21 (edited) Hi CbB peeps. Here's my latest venture for your delectation 😄 Guide vocal a bit ropey here and there but comments on the arrangement welcomed. All of the sounds, apart from the drums which are Addictive Drums 2, are from my 90s vintage Yamaha SQ16. https://www.bandlab.com/post/0d8627f2-6ff1-ec11-b656-2818789a16d5 Edited June 22 by Keith Wilby 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mark skinner 670 Posted June 21  Very Nice ! I Love the chorus melody and you did a Very good job on the vocals. My mix suggestion would be to tame the vocal reverb a little (with more pre delay). It's a little hollow sounding.  I would also boost it up a little. Enjoyed it .. Great job .. mark 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm compelled to agree with you on the vocal (mainly because my wife said the same thing 🤣) so I'm revisiting that now. I used "Vocal Finalizer" on it, a plug-in that I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with, so it's time to try something else I think. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philip G Hunt 478 Posted June 22 I agree with Mark. The vocal reverb needs some taming. Have you added a deesser to the vocals? I'm trying to put my finger on who this reminds me of. It's got an 80s vibe to it for sure. Good job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No de-esser, I think it's my dodgy diction 🤣 The descending notes in the intro/chorus might remind you of Please Please Me possibly? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bajan Blue 1,095 Posted June 24 Hi Keith A very good track - agree about the vocal but that's about it, all good otherwise Cool Nigel  1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jwnicholson78 171 Posted June 25 (edited) Very cool song. I enjoyed it.  There was something about the kick that seemed off to me, though. It's really busy (at some points it seems to be hitting on all four beats) and also very clicky. The rest of the percussion seems buried compared to the kick.

Cactus Music 1,556 Posted June 27 Possibly Joe Walsh vibe to the vocal? Great track. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
