Keith Wilby Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 (edited) Hi all, it's been a while so ... I think I previously posted this song as "Speakeasy" a while back. This version is shorter and has a lead guitar solo in place of the MIDI sax. EDIT: forum comments actioned. Further comments welcomed. https://www.bandlab.com/post/d9ae5bc8-5058-ee11-9937-000d3a41ec2a Edited September 21, 2023 by Keith Wilby forum comments actioned 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyjx Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 (edited) A lot to like here Keith! Super solid music and melody, and very enjoyable to listen to. But the drums(which I understand if it is an older vst) seem really buried here, and the bass is too loud IMO ...especially early on. I feel just a few tweaks makes this song POP.

daryl1968 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 First of all, love the play on words. This reminded me of something the great Gilbert O'Sullivan would have written in his heyday. Good stuff Keith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bajan Blue Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Hi Keith - like the track but found the Bass too forward and in your face - apart from that really good Nigel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry T. Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Bass down a dB or so, vox up a dB or so, drum elements up 1 to 2db, a little less reverb overall, piano sounds ok, lead guitar sounds nice, really nice song🎶🎶🎶🎶 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Wilby Posted September 20, 2023 Author Share Posted September 20, 2023 Thanks for all of the comments guys, much appreciated. I'll revisit the mix, I think you've probably summed it up nicely @Larry T. 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markno999 Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Keith, Good song, has a nice early 70's feel. The songwriting is superb, strong melody, good structure, performance, and the breakdown after the guitar solo is a nice touch. Enjoyable listen for sure.

noynekker Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 You've got that mix sounding great now, I really enjoyed listening to this one . . . vocals reminded me of Leo Sayer, maybe just the style of the song, or that classic guitar solo . . . a bit of a time transport, I haven't heard something like this for quite a while . . . well done Keith ! -Bruce 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn Wilson Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Terrific, Keith! I really like the way you didn't overprocess your vocal, leaving it dry against the lovely and spacey guitar. Nice touch! Beautiful retro vibe makes this very nostalgic. A+ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
