nicely realized soundscape/capture of moments piece....everything you have in the song fits perfectly and compliments the other parts well....enjoyed listening ????

Quite good Eurythmics/Eighties inspired tune you guys have there....love the chorus....keep going, you're very good now and will only get better as you gain experience ????

Exceptionally well recorded and mixed....very nicely arranged and played....i really enjoyed listening ? ???

Thanks David....the acoustic was mic'ed, electric rhythm was direct, all lead guitars were mic on amp with Overdrive Preamp pedal which is the first time I tried that, as i always went direct ????

Thank You pwalpwal....there's more reggae than ambient but the whole thing is some combination of what I thought would make a good tune starting with the idea of "ambient reggae" as a starting point....cheers!!!! ? ⛱️??

Thanks jack ????

drums and percussion: done (i hope): lemme know, please ???? attention to rhythm: done ???? more bass: done (i hope) please let me know if the bass is still lacking ?? third not punched enough: done (i hope): lemme know, please ?? Thanks you guys for your helpful observations, i really did slack off on this one at first ????

Hi Andy....Thanks for listening and comments....it's most definitely not pure reggae but a hybrid with electronic and rock elements....I've only been on here about 9 months but haven't heard any reggae music at all so, just thought I'd try this tune out i wrote back in 1977 or so and see what I could do with it....cheers ??⛱️?

greetings....here is a reworked version of Reggae Music....all observations, suggestions, critiques and comment are appreciated.... a' Reggae Music (ambient reggae music): https://larryterrano.bandcamp.com/track/a-reggae-music-ambient-reggae-music

hi jack, what I meant by "could be tightened up a bit to change it to a more accessible overall level" was my own personal taste would have done a different arrangement....I would shorten the verses, add the harp which comes in at 3:20 to more of the song and put an instrument solo section in....this is all my subjective taste ????

this one is probably the best sounding mix you've ever done....great, great intro....the various sonic excursions that follow are impressive....i like it....but do feel it could be tightened up a bit to change it to a more accessible overall level....very, very well done jack ????

good vibes....pleasant listen.....mix is very, very good (clarity, volumes in relationships, stereo, recorded quality) ????

nice work....enjoy listening to it very much ????

the lyrics are great in their truth and honesty....i'd put some acoustic slide guitar on it to give it a bit more flavor....a horn section now and then would help a lot....the song itself is good but needs more work to reach its full potential imho ????

hi John, nice tune, playing, riffs, production, mix....agree with Tom that it does need some editing....i'm in the process of writing something new and have to adjust my thinking from creating something i think is worth pursuing to listening to the whole piece and then deciding what sounded good before is not fitting into where the song is at now....basically totally opposite ways of thinking that really tires me out ????

great job David....delicious ?? to listen to....compositionally it does things unexpectedly yet fits together perfectly ????

well done jack....as usual, your compositions overflow with numerous melodic sequences....so many that they really need more time for you to realize them to a greater extent than the song itself allows....good stuff ????

Thanks for listening/observations Wookiee....i dunno, on my equipment and to my ears the bass sounds fine after i added the Saturation....i will try to add some more to the third part....i wrote this back in 1977 after discovering Marley/Reggae and the only major difference after all these years is the addition of the synth....i will get back to it....Thanks again ????

i concur again....the rhythm needs help....i will return to this soon ????

great cover of a great song....oh yeah, i was there digging this song on 93 KHJ AM or 1110 KRLA AM in Los Angeles ????

well done bjorn....very nicely realized composition....would not be out of place on "Animals" or "Wish You Were Here" ????????

hi tom... i agree, for a reggae song the drums and percussion aren't ample enough, it is an ambient reggae tune but the rhythms could be better....i pretty much ran out of energy on this one so decided to put it on here and see what you guys say....after i refuel i will try to re-do the the rhythms....thanks for listening ????

they are awesome....I do want to add a bass vst as well as the free Kontakt stuff, but my problem is my pc: only have 8GB of ram and no video card to process the DAW graphics....once the CbB ram indicator goes much above 50% CbB starts to freeze and it's not its fault, my pc simply doesn't have the processing powers to run it correctly....i plan to get a new pc in a few months, want to give Windows 11 time to get correctly integrated into as much vst software as possible....cheers ????

i love minor 7th's ?? ....funny you should mention the bass as i had two separate bass tracks and i used a tiny amount of saturation on every track but those two bass tracks as i let them go a tiny bit above -6dB in very, very few transients....truthfully, the bass sounds good enough on my reference speakers (a little low which is normal as they are after all reference speakers) and pretty fine on everything else....but i was concerned that since i left the saturation off the bass it would diminish it too much, so, i will redo the master with the bass redone and put it up soon ???? ****edit**** ok, bass edit done....cheers!!!!

Thanks Makke ????
