Whole lot of things to compliment here Barry. As always, your storytelling is top shelf. Much impressed with the horn arrangement; very nice. What's the fx chain on the vocal? Is the "phasing" I'm hearing on purpose? (or is it my knackered ears? yikes!) Not to send you off on a buying spree, but I've had pretty good luck with IKM's Sunset Studio. I usually set one up on an aux buss for the guitars and another aux buss for the drums. If you're tempted, WAIT; IKM runs sales all the time..... ?'s ? t

left my like and comment over at BandLab. (today it signed me right in; generally I have to "jump thru hoops"; interesting...) Like this, like it fine! ?

"track" rhymes with "Jack" I made a rhyme there! (probably should have left out the comment...) I've been a little "short" on rhymes lately Jack. t

Sometimes that's too much gain at the limiting stage. I don't know what you're mastering with, but I find Ozone, when left to its own devices, will "push" the make up gain in the limiter way (IMHO) too much. Lately I've been using the Lurssen Mastering Console for the gain and FabFilter L2 to limit; adding very little gain on the FF L2. Again, I don't know what your mastering chain is or the Drum VSTi you're using; but something to look at... t oh and ?'s

Exactly! thanks

Always enjoy your tunes treesha. that's what critics are for, I'm terrible with genres! t only crit here, I'd let the final note ring out a bit (of course maybe SC just cuts it off when a certain level is hit...)

ditto Nicely done. t I'm no video editor, but I would slow the transitions down.

Good one Jack. ? t

Wish I had some live stuff from back in the day (or not?). Much enjoyed! t

Late to the party, I'll just echo the comments above. ?'s Nice guitar work, what's the signal chain on that; sim? t

Tried to leave a like and comment at Bandlab. I always have issues when I try to jump from the forum to BL; PITA! Enjoyed... t

Good track Jack (a rhyme, who'd a thunk?) t

Shot a polaroid as Armstrong stepped down, the flash washed out the picture (duh!). I was so bummed... Love the tune. t

Hey Super, found the Just Tuning read quite interesting. A buddy of mine talked about a Pedal Steel Player he worked for years with, and the Pedal player called it "Tempered Tuning". In short, he did not tune to the digital tuner across the Steel. The third, fifth and sixth were a few cents "off". I think that Auto Tune, Melodyne, and click tracks (meaning locking everything to the grid) is what has "sucked the life" out of modern music. In the so-called Minor Pentatonic scale, employed by most Blues players, the flat or minor third really isn't that. Its in between the minor and major third; for me this is the "blue" note, but scholars disagree. But I digress... t oh and a final note, this General Discussion section is where threads go to die. I know the Coffee House can get a bit rambunctious, but at least folks on the forum would find the thread.

"There's nothing you can say that can't be said" and that said, your tune was, as always, much enjoyed here! t

Nick, enjoyed the video, glad the studio is sorted. I know how frustrating it is when things "just ain't right!". If I have to use the left side of the my brain solving problems, the right side takes a powder for the rest of the day... t

Nice use of delay on the vocal. Sweet guitar work. If something jumps up and bites you add it. If not, the tune stands on its own just as it is. I hold the "thumbs" and "applause" for the final iteration... t

Not my genre, but I did find it interesting. Welcome to the forum. t

Not my genre. Little heavy on the kick drum, but probably correct for the genre. Welcome to the forum. t

Got lots of space... Thanks for the advice on the machine count. t

Do I bite on this one? 8DIONEWSLETTER gets an extra 15% off. What is the difference between 8Dio and SoundPaint? I jumped on a SoundPaint deal and the receipt was from 8Dio. Inquiring minds want to know... t

Much enjoyed Lynn and Markno. ?'s ? Kind of abrupt on the ending, but I guess that's in keeping with the subject matter. t

Aqualung is sad, and although the "young" man and the "old" man, in this story, are not the same man; its kinda similar; no? ?'s ? t so now lets talk crits. and this is hard because I can't do some eq and move some faders as an example. mid's: there's a lot of mid buildup here that takes away some clarity. I'd start by "high passing" all the guitars If a simple high pass does not "clean" up the lead guitar, I'd put a little more top end on it. I used to have a GSP 2101 guitar processor and the Warm Sweet Solo patch sounded great on its own, loved it! In a mix, way to mid rangy and lacked definition. Now as to the "lines" the lead is playing over(under) the vocal. Its not uncommon for the guitar to "follow" the vocal line (think Voodoo Child Slight Return here). That's not what I'm hearing and I found it a bit distracting. Deal breakers? Of course not, just little things to "tighten" up the production....
