Good one overall 👍 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyB01 583 Posted February 28 Sweet guitar tones and great use of silence (something that is definitely underrated). Really nice composition, I enjoyed the listen. Andy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeffdrawscomics 25 Posted February 28 I love the clean guitar tone and the harmonica. (Is the harmonica a vst, or is it recorded?) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The harmonica was played live by me on a single track, which I then auxiliary tracked and then EQ'ed both tracks and panned each to create as clear and wide a sound for as I thought was needed 🎶🎶🎶🎶 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FreeEarCandy 125 Posted March 1 Tasty guitar work, Larry. And all the other elements, though seemingly sparse, were well thought out and really spiced it up nicely. Like oregano, you don't want to add too much and drown out the taste of that lovely guitar work. The pauses added a little tension suspense too. Well done! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grem 4,214 Posted March 2 Nice listen. As others have said nice clean guitar tone. Harmonica came a pleasant surprise! Was not expecting that. All in all we'll done. We'll written too. Was that real drums? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I loaded it in and then edited the MIDI notes in Piano Roll so it would fit the song 🎶🎶🎶🎶 Edited March 2 by Larry T. clarity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bjornpdx 1,215 Posted March 10 Real nice laid back feel to this. Good choice of chord changes. This might be the best I've heard from you Larry. -Bjorn 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think that I've finally developed my listening on how to hear and kind of what to do to create a semi-decent mix. They aren't professional quality like yours and a few of the other artists here, but they are better than the ones I did a year ago. Cheers🎶🎶🎶🎶 Edited March 11 by Larry T.
