I do believe these are open back cans. Love mine and use the 770’s (closed back) for tracking.

I guess we are all in agreement; a very strong lyrical effort here. ?'s! t if I had some time I'd take a run at that acoustic guitar track

Jesse channeling 60's Dylan? I like this one a lot Jesse, very cool. t

More Kirby goodness! ?'s almost that "electric sitar" sound on the solo, who made those? t evidently Doug's not sharing ?

As always Mark, great storytelling, performances and production. t I left that with about 10 secs left in the tune, why does SoundCloud just randomly place my comments? Why am I asking You?

This'll lower the blood pressure for sure! Thanks. t "This'll" is not a contraction of "this will"; learn somethin everyday I guess...

What he said! t btw, ?'s back for one tiny crit; let that last note fade out naturally...........................................................................

Sounds great here on the DT 990's. ditto that! You or the vocalist write the lyrics? t

?'s, big ?'s t lef my comments over ta utube, y'all should too...........................................................................

@Bill PhillipsExactly. The template is a cwp file. I don’t use the cwt extension. All my templates are saved as “read only”, then when I save I’m prompted to “save as”. I don’t have anything near as comprehensive as Decker, but his work flow makes perfect sense. I have a basic 8 buss template I work from. As I said above, six months ago I could have thrown some energy into this. t

Very interesting interview to be sure! I think that many Mixers are known for the samples they bring to their drum tracks; seems to be a "signature" thing. Kind of validates Superior Drummer 3 (or insert your drum VSTi of choice "here"). Six months ago I would have been "all in" on your project, but as vaccinations sweep the country, hopefully the wife and I will be able go back out on the road; so its a commitment I just can't in "good faith" make. (I literally haven't been in the studio in over a month, I have a new UFX+, still sealed in the box, waiting to be put in the rack) Good luck on the project. PM a cwp, and if I can squeeze some time, I'll have a look and offer suggestions... t

Yes, move “Deals” to “General Music”. t

?'s What more can I say? t

I'll just echo all the above, anxious to hear more. Great drum track! ?'s t

Cool! ?'s t

Good chorus on this one John, although a little sad. Well done! t

Exactly. Are you playing chords here, or is it a "patch" that a single note gives you a chord? (and trust me, I get the "playing with my thumbs", I'm not a keyboardist, nor am I an "arranger") I would try for a little more "motion" in the "pad", and again not being an "arranger" I can't be more specific... As to the "second" guitar. Use the "dim solo" to play it against the mix, its just a couple of spots were it sticks out a bit to me; again a very minor thing. A little automation on that track maybe. (just a note, when I listen to Get Back, there's a guitar in there, George maybe?, that misses a change. As far as I know I'm the only one who ever noticed or mentions it...)

That was beautiful Barry; well done! Its hard to criticize, but that's what you want so here goes... I hear what I believe are open strings in one of the guitars that are just "loud" (0:43 on the time line for instance), minor thing really but I went back to be sure what I was hearing; found it a bit distracting (again minor thing). The string pad in the right can is a bit "static", again a minor thing, but you asked for "critical" so that's my 6 bits... t As always tremendous piece of storytelling. You know how I am with song length, and seeing it was 5 plus minutes I thought "oh boy". BUT, it was perfect, you used that 5+ to tell your story; wouldn't change a thing... ?'s

Its an age old question for those of us of a certain age, that's fer shure... ?

I was thinking Springsteen myself. Good stuff Lee! t it has been a weird year, I look back and see my lack of productivity, so I get where you're coming from on that front. but Better Weather is here; right? ?

You've knocked it out of the park once again Nigel. ?'s ?'s t almost 14k views, very cool... that you on the male vocal?

I'll see your Shaky Jake and raise you a I Don't Need No Doctor! Marriot is undoubtedly one of the top ten British vocalists of all time... t

D'Addario Half Rounds on all the electrics in the studio (Flat Tops on the acoustics). If I were playing out, regular round wounds; they're shot at the end of the night anyway... t

She is now "all in", and reminds us both we should trust their (Terri's and Monica's) constructive criticism! t

Your explanation notwithstanding, I do agree with Nigel the wide spread on the guitar and keys is a bit disconcerting. Its not the way I would mix it, However, it IS your tune, your production! I'm all in on the "grit" in the vocal chain, I think it works well in this tune. So ?'s (read that as 2 big thumbs up) from me, cause overall I loved it! t
