Nice one Alan i always get the feeling there´s a portion of tongue in cheek within your lyrics another great song cheers P

Sounds really fine to me great riffs and tones, lots going on in there never muddled yep one the best i´ve heard in a long time

Another great one Alan, love the airy feel to it , loved the Bass and guitar tones cheers paul

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

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 https://metapop.com/paul-bush/tracks/american-avenue-demo-02-10-rough-project/261863

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
