Pretty darn nice. This piece has a lot going on. Lots of different EQ ranges to optimize, I can imagine the fun (i.e.: lots of work) you had to get everything sounding as good as it does. More instruments (horns, organ, percussion) would add to the impact and musicality. Real nice as is????

Excellent. No nits nor crits. I'm hearing a production that has realized exactly the mood/texture it set out to create. Another winner?I'd like to respectfully recommend a listen to the Everything But the Girl song "Driving" as a song with some of the same uplifting musical areas Sub Vibe deliver so well. Please, carry on????

Great job. Good song, arrangement, performances, recording and mix. Your voice is really good. You guys found the groove for this piece and delivered it perfectly. The video was really cool too????

This is great. The band sounds all on the same page aiming for all the right hits and landing bulls eyes. The girl has a great voice, a natural that is 100% recording friendly. Agree with Tom that there is a bit too much sibilance in the recording, that's about the only element I'd adjust. Oh, maybe add another horn or two to give those horn sections a bit more powerful delivery????

This is some serious stuff. The musical world you created excellently conjures the ethereal mindscape of an old man's dream as do the images of his life at all the different stages of it. It sure gave me a nudge to pause and reflect on my experiences????

This is a really great song. I don't hear songs like these on the radio anymore. Captures the spirit of the late sixties and early seventies perfectly. The horn parts are great. Vox are great. All instruments clear and well defined. My only crits and nits are a bit over use of the horn hook throughout the song and would've liked a smoother rain sounds edit at the ending????

Very nice piece. Captures the spirit of Irish/Acadian music excellently. Well written, arranged, played recorded and mixed????

Very enjoyable tune Jeff. Nice melodic flourishes through out????

Yes, this arrangement/mix is better. Her and your vox are clearer (although your vox could be turned up a wee bit in a few places). Loved the instrumental section from 2:55 to 3:25????

Hi Lynn. Excellent blues rock song. Well arranged, played and great vocals. It sounds really good despite what I've found to be a noticeable YouTube processing degradation. I'm guessing the keyboards (especially around 1:15) were a lot clearer prior to the YT upload., I may be off on this but it always happened to me when I used to upload songs to YT but since I've changed to Bandcamp the processing degradations are minimal. I'd say the processing didn't effect your lead vocal much at all but the bg vox and keyboards could be clearer and a touch louder, again I don't think it was your ears when doing the mix but the YT processing. Good stuff????

Thanks Jeff. Yes, if the way the song is going doesn't hold my interest I'll write a different part until something worth keeping appears????

Thank You for the listen and kind words Eric????

Thanks Jesse. Appreciate the kind words and listen. This one was written, rewritten, rewritten again, changed, changed again....just constantly reworked until I can listen and say to myself "this is as good as I can afford to get it"????

Very nice piece. Lots of changes. Excellent mix, all instruments clear and well balanced. Agree with the message of the lyrics, gotta shine through a whole lot of uselessness that is thrown at us in life????

Thanks Steve. I'm still using a 10 year old pc with 8GB of ram to do the songs. So keeping the instruments working is a constant consideration. The SI-Drums are ram friendly as are direct injected guitars and basses. Kontact is too big to run on 8gigs of ram and so is Addictive Drums, Izotrope and all the other stuff I'll get pretty soon????

Thanks Bruce. Yes, the SI drums are actual recordings not synthesized renderings, so they do sound real. I've found that by using auxiliary sends and then adjusting each individual sends eq I can get some halfway decent sounds. Using eq adjustments for volume control also. And, our cat's name was Charly. Boom Boom popped into my head when I heard the bass drum in the song. Cheers????

Exotic soundscape that totally works. Great writing, production, playing, mix as usual. Enjoyed very much????

Good stuff. Love the chord voicings/choices, arrangements are hot, great work????

Where did it go? No link.

Cool, as usual. Arrangement has variety, moves right along, lots of creativity????

Enjoyed the gradual build up, resolution and coda. Writing, arrangement, playing all very nicely done????

I was able to hear the first wo pieces. Agree, great writing/improvising and playing. Your musical ideas are solid, engaging, cerebrally stimulating and relaxing. I'd have taken the fuzz guitar down a decibel or two but that's just me????

Excellent. I'm hearing dance music with intelligence. An avalanche of rhythms and melodies. The production is great. The instruments are balanced perfectly. The mix sounds really, really good, you may want to think about having a professional audio engineer whose work you respect have a go at it. The only element I found somewhat lacking was the vocal towards the end. I think the idea is great, but the timber and execution of said vocal is the weakest element of this strong piece. I can't tell if it's Melodyne or an AI or something else entirely. I'm impressed with your command of getting the delays in time with the beats, something I'm just starting to explore. Good Luck????

Thanks Andy. Appreciate the listen ? ? ? ?

Thanks so much Tom. I really appreciate the listen and the links. The drums are from Cakewalk SI Drums loops via edits i made. They are compressed via the SI Drums VST setting and you have excellent audio perception? The next area I need to learn is compression as I don't do it at all via a dedicated plug in and I know the mixes I'm doing now seem to be ok but I have a long, long way to go compared to some of you masters here. Also will research A to B comparison more????
