Just absolutely fantastic , vocals, guitars ,production , super solo . acoustic guitar just really fine , right up my street ..cheers

Hi Lynn, lots of twists and turns as always , Loved the radio vocal bit .. guitar was great , I prefere yor voice without the delay though lots in there super song ..P

Hi Noynekker, well to be honest ,I just marked dragged the finished song drum patterns from EZdrummer 2 to the midi chanel like the first time, its possible that the first time it wasnt tight to the start line ? I then used the midi map to cut and add some fill beats and that was that it really , some of the fills in EZD sometimes just dont work so they need some tweaking , and as you know I´m not much of a tweaker , I turned up the backing vocals and the bass and panned it slightly right and that was that .....Thnks for the nice comments as I said its good that you all keep me on my toes , much appreciated ...paul

Hi chaps , due to popular demand I gave this one another bash , I´m really thankfull for all encouragment and intrest from all, of what i feel not worthy , so I hope this is an improvement , once again cheers to you all ...paul

Hi Guys ,Once agian thanks for all the input .... well Ive been hard at it just tweaking the drums (fills) (EZdrums 2 ) and then in the midi channel and then cleaning up some slightly sloppy playing ie bass and guitar , moving the beats around in the midi channel is so time consuming but I think i may have have cracked it (playing a hell of a lot air drummer)..cheers P

Wow thanks guys ..yeah as always there´s some cliches in there . i had a lot of fun not trying for 3:30 minute song and just going for it...with my secondhand mexico strat and my new harley benton bass , recording took a long while not because it was difficult but because we`v had another really hot summer here in austria and the studio was unbareable , once again thanks for all the positive input ..I´ll post again soon thanks P.......ps if anyone has the time to point out exactly where the problem phases are please fell free Ive tunneled vision etc

Son Song about the turning of the worm,

Oh well , loved that bloody great snare , recording was really out there , had a great live sound and then not , and yes there`s a zappa influence in there for me ..saw him live in the`` london oval ´´ many years ago....... over 7 minutes didnt seem a second too long ..great stuff cheers paul ..Oh great guitar work ..

Well thanks Jeff, and Earcandy , for those encouraging comments, as i said it stared out its life as an over complicated thing and turned out fine getting back to basic`s ,(I´m happy to be stuck in the seventies,early eighties time warp ) I kept it as basic as I could but still needed over 25 tracks (thats a lot for me) I`m pleased with the drums being seperate 9 channels gives them a super sound and moving them around giving space for other instruments etc still learning by doing so I took my time and had fun , thanks for taking the time to comment .Paul

Beautiful production , great song and vocals, harmonies perfect .. nothing more to add except great song lots of twists and turns ..

Oh yes quality stuff there , really liked it a lot well done , this is a professional recording , I was waiting for Donald Fagen to come in with ..``what´s that you say´´ great stuff

great vocals really nice and clear , great song

Really fine piece of work , the guitars are great , what drums do you use

Hi yeah I´d agree with Andy , well worth a re-vamp and a heavyer Bass and all round uhmmppthh

Thanks Larry , lots to consider there, I use ezdrums they`ve got super sounds but in the mixer the toms are not seperate they`re in stereo .not really good , i think with my next song , I´m going to turn all effects off the drums (like this one)so that they are bone dry and very distinct much easyer to hear , its just a case of finding a system to work with and keeping to it cheers paul

Thankyou guys , for so much encouragment and kind words , squeeze, elvis costello ,john mellecamp , wow ! I´m particually pleased with this one as it really wasnt going anywhere at first , but as soon as I got the guitar sound right it sort of fell into place it`s just so a basic song, all instruments are analogue except the drums so its down to just playing it the best I can ..vocals were not too high so it was easy to sing ,it was a lot of fun to record . I´ll be taking all the tips on board and rectifying them before the master ..although I wont be fiddling about too much with mastering effects one can go too far . thanks once again Paul

Hi Tom thanks for some really good advice , It makes it so much easyer to rectify when one states where ( time ) some of the faults lie , cheers paul

Hi Daryl, cheers, This song started it`s life out way too complicated and trying to be over clever so after three weeks .. I dumbed it down to three chords, fell over the easy riff and well the rest was easy , sometimes I try to write something completely different and it ends up a jumbled mess , I had a lot of fun with this one double tracking all the guitars (my self built Telecaster) and using just reverb and compressors .

Hi Bjorn , thanks for the nice comments , I now know what Ive been doing wrong with all of my previous songs , Ive been using Ezdrummer and when recording I havent had the drums completely dry no overhead , or room ambience etc so they get lost in the wash (schoolboy error) this time everything was turned off making the drums really ``in yer face´´ direct ,making it easy to keep time ,then I added effects later ,

Hi Chaps , so I deleted that badly named ``match made in heaven´´ re named it ``A Fool`s Love´´ with lots of changes and aslo managed to find the green button on bandlab so it should play , any tips, idea`s would be more than welcome cheers paul https://www.bandlab.com/user7005896328090268/a-fools-love-project-wave-59aebbe1?revId=7a1004f4-7717-ee11-907c-000d3a41ed52 so I just checked my bandlab and there it is again the ``private message´´...this is getting to be very anonying drop me a line if the link doesnt work . never had this trouble with soundcloud

https://www.bandlab.com/user7005896328090268/match-made-in-heaven-demo-pre-vocal-a67d604f?revId=dc846f16-ae12-ee11-907c-000d3a41ed52 Thanks Rick and Hi chaps , I think I managed it by going to library and ``shared ´´ didnt find a green ``publish´´ button . I cant belive that this choice isnt at the same place where the default ``private´´ button is.... seems logical to me as i said thanks for taking the time to help If for any reason it still doesnt work please send a quick note ......cheers paul.... .sometimes the simple things are just so difficult (good line that)

Sorry please ignore this song something went wrong with bandlab I´m pretty sure I should have pressed ``fork´´ to erase the private ikon ?? fork ??? are you sure??.....

Hi Chaps , this one is a pre pre master stage... vocals will be re recorded and drums must be seperated and compressed so Its a bit rough around the edges , would be nice to hear a few tips fro you all (backing vocals are a tich too loud etc , the last time I uploaded from bandlab ``private´´ ikon was on couldnt work out how to make it public after a while I managed it .. many weeks later Ive forgotton how to do it .. https://www.bandlab.com/song/da846f16-ae12-ee11-907c-000d3a41ed52/edit
