Paul Bush

yeah it kept me wanting more as it meandered through adding more to enjoy

Yeah really really good , those small pauses left me hanging in the air very clear production and not overcrowded just very tastfully done ,excelent in my humble view cheers

Thanks chaps for the really nice comments , and yes HS as i was writing the first to second verse I thought Uhmm that sopunds a bit ``squeezy´´ and it spurned me on to write in that vain so you`re  right on  the money there , I even got a thumbs up for the piano parts , not bad for a guitarist I thought ,its all a bit thumping keys with boxing gloves on type of  style from me but if it works then dont fix it once again thanks for taking the time to comment cheers paul

Yes I liked this very much lot`s of musical surprises in there , great production over 5 mins long,  never once did it get boring  now thats not easy to do

Thanks Douglas , this was the first mix that didnt need too much mixing  if you get my drift , i was making many mistakes with pervious songs regarding the drum  , vocal reverb  cheers PB

Hi , well here´s a new one ``Joyriding ´´ about where are we going and who`s driving , it`s all a bit confusing ,

I loved it straight from the intro, great lyrics, well done  .top

Those drums sounded just so good loved the panning  so clear what drums do you use ?

I concure with all of the above ..and a bit more.... loved it...... lots of surprises in there  well done

Yep I could listen to this all night long , love the guitar with lots of surprises in there thanks  super

Lots of atmosphere , I liked it 

Yeah Hi noynekker , you`re  right there I think I may have overcooked the volume a tad , due to lack the expirience on my part , cheersPB

``watching you´´ Re-mix   Once again thanks for the tips guys Ive done a remix which is way much better using the youlean and various mixing devices and added a bit of guitar , I think I´ve improved it now...................................  I´ll let you be the judge of that..cheeers PB

Thanks Emeraldsoul,  I´m really pushing the boat out on this one, wookie just sent a link for a mastering tool which Ive downloaded Ive revisited the whole song and played around with it ready to master and now some good tips from your good self , so I´ll have another good look at it and see what I can do as far as the drums go I use EZDrums they have a built in mixer and thats it as far as i know I tend to turn all the ezd effects off and use only the bandlab so i´ll have to look into that cheers ES regards PB

All I can say is that i concure with all the abov,e great recording so clear , how on earth did manage to program those drums so well , EZD is my stumbling block I really struggle with them well done you...

I think I'd use that B3 pad a bit more across the tune, I realize you're using it to ramp up the pre-chorus; but...

Good bit of songwriting here, well played and sung to be sure!

Thanks t  .......its funny really  that the songs i like are the ones that come the quickest and the worst (many) where I toil for hours and hours  over a hot interface and they end up being a stinker,  once one get`s beyond the point of no return its hard to quit  even though the gut feeling tells you differently  thanks for the encouraging  comments cheers PB

Sounds OK here @Paul Bush do you have access to a loudness meter? Youlean do a nice one, there is a free version that is useful, the paid for one which is not that expensive is even more useful.

Mix stands the test here on the Adam A7x's, I can hear all the voices which is always a good thing.

 

Thanks wookie Ive just downloaded ``youlean ´´  and I´m looking forward to playing around with it , i didnt realisethe song  it had too little volume  your not the first to mention it chers pB

Thanks Douglas, I´m allways a bit retisent to turn up the volumes up too far , I think just below 0 db is about right I tend not use too much compressor on my maybe i should on my next song , its all a bit trial and error, and hit and miss  with me  , cheers PB

Thanks baloonhead , It does seem to be a  longwinded way of dong things I cant understand why fantastic bandlab doesnt have a feature to export a seperate midi file ?  once thansk for taking the time to answer vheers PB

Oh thankyou 905133 : I asumed that it would be obvious that I´m using bandlab cakewalk ,and the person i´m sending it doesnt,  but hey I thought it was a  quick easy question with a quick easy answer  maybe i could have explained it better ...its not a big deal , thanks for your constuctive input .

Ive opened up a can of worms here ,,I wanted to send a friend who has another DAW (not bandlab) a midi Keybord track , logically I muted all the unwanted tracks and marked the keybord track that I wanted in the project ,   and it still didnt work, Ive taken the advice of copying and pasting onto the screen I´m still awaiting a reply from my freind in the U.K. to see if he can use it ,I have a sneaky feeling he`ll only be able to open it with bandlab ...watch this space ......

``Watching you´´ Here´s a new one straight off the press , this was a relativley quick song  from riff to finished recording about three weeks . Lots a fun with this one cheers PB.     STOP THAT PRESS :::: THERE´S A NEW MIX SCROLL DOWN  

hi marled , yes that was excactly my expirience  I only wanted to send the keys and it saved the while project etc ect  , Ive tried dragging and droping I´m just waiting a for a response  from my friend in the U:K. with bated breath  cheers PB

Thanks Douglas , Its so hard to judge ones self after writing and recording and then hearing it so often I get a bit confused and doubtfull and I end up asking mayel if  the song is worhy of posting , so getting so much positive feedback  really motivates me to carry on .....cheers PB

I really like this one. All the parts are very good - orchestration, drums, excellent voc - making the whole thing sound professional.
Only crit is the guitar around 3:50 seemed too loud to me.  Hope you stay inspired to keep on making music.

Thanks Bjorn , as i said tanks to badlab I´m really motivated  , I´m just consantly surpirsed by the quality of the virtuel instuments  and the effects  makes playing such an enjoyment  cheers Pb
