Hi Paul - really like the track - there is something there in the rhythm section that does feel wrong - perhaps the bass - apart from that, this is a great track.

Really enjoyed it

Hi Nigel and  JW , I did the mixdown deleting some bass drums so that it doesnt sound too muddled as before thanks for the nice comments  cheers paul

Thanks Larry thats really kind , like all my songs it started of with the acoustic chords and then it just developed , I had a lot of fun with this one using the arranger mode, saved me a lot of time, I liked doing the backing vocals , and the solo, once agian thanks or all the encouraging comments cheers P

Hi Paul . . . just had a listen on SC and have great appreciation for what you done here, what a great sounding track ! (hear a few drum timing vs. guitar issues at the very start of the piece, but the groove certainly settles in after that) You recorded those vocals and harmonies very large and clear, and some stellar guitar work along the way. Great stuff, great songwriting, nice change ups, as always. This one has a very catchy melody in the verse and chorus, really enjoyable to listen to.

Thanks Noynekker, I ironed out some glitches and did a much better mixdown although somehow betwen 07 13 seconds is a glitch that i cant identify , i think i´m going deaf , yeah i had a lot of fun with this one , after a long hot summer break  I was ready to play about in the studio check out the master mix  thanks for the lovely comments always appriciated cheers paul

Once again thanks for the input I hope Ive rectified the wobbly bits

Thanks chaps for the advice , I couldnt see the wood for trees type situation which is why this forum is so helpful for a one man band like myself , right so Ive deleted some bass drum hits and made some space Ive now finished the mixdown and i´ll post it cheers P

Hi chaps, after the long sumer break i just managed to record this demo , levels are all over the place,  needs a fade out etc , just letting it sit for a while before i do a proper mixdown ..cheers P

Yeah this is fine , not sure if you want to make it into a song with lyrics but it flowed nicely , sounded fine to me I liked the overall vibe conjured up all kinds of  images for me .nice one cheers P

Hi Alan, another great one, I always look forward to your songs I really loved the lyrics and the super chorus you have an ear for melody thats for sure , I feel it could do with tightening up( i should talk) with a bit of added punch , and a tad warmer sound but thats just my taste all in all a super demo cheers paul

Oh yeah really liked this one , great production

Once agian thanks  t  for a speedy reply , I noticed on your EZ internal Mixer you had rack and floor toms on seperate channels  is that only on ezd 3  as my ezd 2 are only in stereo or mixed with the overhead in stereo ...regards p

Hallo T , I must admit ive been a bit lazy as far as using the ez2 I have mixed them once with seperate tracks and using an ex buss worked really fine, on what setting do you use in the ez drummer internal  mix section ?  all faders in the middle ? .... I did have an echo problem using midi .untill I muted the ezd patterens cheers thanks for the reply paul

Hi Guys , I think Ive been using toontrack wrongly for a very long time.... .so when I program all the patterns in EZ for a song I just leave them there add all instruments in cakewalk tracks and then mix and master ,once again leaving the drum track to play along .. I never copy the drums patterns into the midi track . is this the best way to record or should I  always copy drums into midi ? all     comments would be welcome thanks

Hi tell me about it Ive taken to down tuning  a whole step E to D for my part time  live acoustic set for the last couple of years

Hi Whoisp,  Really well done , loved the all the vocals (maybe needed to be a tick louder )  and the slide guitar was geat , this is a song to bop around to with a glass of   `` Red ´´   hits the spot for me  cheers P

Hi , well there´s a lot in there chords all over the place engaged the listener right till the end I mean the production and tone just brilliant , vocals and harmonies just great , ..like I said so much in there ...

Yeah i´m putting my sunglasses on and listening to this in my car, window open ,arm hanging out and driving real slow , super relaxing tune

I can only concure with the above ..classy playing and vibe

Another super song ,love the subtle build-up to the drums always adding a just the right amount, super constructed song , well done

cheers Paul

Hi A.... I just love your melodies there´s always a surprise, chorus is super another  great song ..i dont think you`ve ever posted a bad song on this forum and thas no mean feat   ..respect P

Really well constructed liked the way the vollums changed nothing was forced rally liked the finger clicking i the verses

Yeah loved this really nice and tight  great track

good song the guitar and drums really work well togerther  chord changes hit the spot well done

Yeah I would agree its a tad too long but inspite of that I listened to it twice and liked it both times , as a voaclist I would have to say its screaming out for vocals but then i would wouldnt I cheers P
