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

Cheers paul, im struggling on my current song, need a female singer in parts, my voice just isn't

working lol 

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  

I´m always impressed , you got so much body in your voice always beautifully sung  ...

Well this a nice break from everything else ,really well done loved the harmony guitars

I liked this one super song and vocals , backingvocals were spot on loved all the  breaks  like i said good song

What VSTi are you using for drums? You're playing in via a keyboard?

t

agree with the others, like the tune; needs work - kind of a Boston vibe...

Hi t,  well i use EZ2 toontracks , and I almost always stay with the songcreater patterns so everything should be in sync I think i get into trrouble when i change from verse to chorus, bridge  etc and well spotted  since ive downloaded spotify this year Ive been able to listen to so many other bands and artsits that passed me by like  Boston , and journey (great songs)  and many more so lots of new influences there  to add to my pallet , the main thing is I still feel i´m learning with every recording and its still fun thanks for the comments  cheers

my goodness, you're in salzburg?!  beautiful place.  Like your song.  It does need tightened up but lyrics are masterful.

Thanks David , I left the uk over thirty years ago to live and work here in austria..... yes its quite pleasant , this was a difilcult song to write as I first  had the chorus and had to write backwards if that makes sense usually I start with a riff and build up to the chorus real time , i try to keep , lyrics short and sweet and to the point I use   ezdrum toontracks i think i fall into trouble when I´m adding changes to the orignal rythum  chorus bridge etc thanks for the nice comments

Hi chaps , well ive recorded and re recorded ths one at least three times and still I´m not happy with the rythum drums as usual , so I´ve posted it to disect and discuss , I really should invest in a live drummer ..but you know how much they drink cheers

Another really well written song lots of changes keeps the listener on his toes , really cleverly done 

Whats not to like ? this is really professional recording,  vocals , instruments so clear , just great held me captive all the way through great song 

Yeah liked this one a lot  lovely recording ......

Just what I needed Its snowing here in Austria so still looking for spring ..it lifts the spirits and calms the nerves
