Paul Bush

Hi Byron , well Ive ticked`suspend etc etc and i´ll give it a go ..this could be tip of the year as far as i´m concerned ,, i´ll get back to you  cheers Paul

Hi mark, this really does happen rather a lot  , as i said i have to delete the reverb from the offending channel to carry on recording- playing  .. i have many unusual glitches as they say ..how about this one ....I have to re-boot my pc when switching from cakewalk to youtube otherwise there is no sound and vise virsa  , I have demons in my pc , ......they´re there just to test me ....

Thanks chaps, yeah i do like sonitus as you say easy to use  , I did use other vst`s and usumed they were the culprit  untill I realised the sonitus was feed backing  ..cheers p 

Thanks chaps so no need for a therapist then , Ive also had to adjust the buffer setting as I´ve been getting a lot of pops and crackles during playback ,

cheers P

Hi chaps , it took me a long time to figure this out, during playback and or recording sometimes there´s no sound.... although the project still moves along  but I then noticed that just one of the channels all of which have sonitus reverb switched on looks as if its feed backing (the channel volume fader goes through the roof ) I then have to either turn off the reverb in that one channel or delete it , it happens quite often does anyone else expirience such a problem?  .....tis annoying but I just wanted to know if I´m not the only one with this quirk ..I sometimes think i´m going mad cheers Paul

Great guitar tone  , bass is a little too low ... but a super rock song great vocals  liked the delay efects on the guitar ..nice one

 

Its a song well worth listening to a few times which i did.....  and on the second and then on the third sitting  it still got better cheers P

 

Yeah loved this I try and do something funky but It just doesnt work although i have a few funk drum beats from toontracks  lots of respect great production

Hi t , thanks for commenting  I always try to keep my solo`s pretty simple  and straight to the point , I did double track on the solo to give it more pressence  I´m not a fast  player so I try to rely on melody ...and not try and play a million notes per second..cheers P

Hi chaps . thanks for the comments ,and yes of course  I used my nans hearing aid , and my grandads ear trumpet as well , I´m sort of pleased with the outcome i think that the drum break wasnt too good though  , I pulled out all the stops on this one productionwise everything ive learned from Mikes creative sauce tutorials, I´m looking forward to the next project cheers paul

Hi guy`s .. well I`ve gone as far as I can with this one using three types of headphones, auto speakers , and my nans hearing aid , and every time i still couldnt decide Ive added the lyrics just so you can make sense of it all Ive also left the rough demo on sound cloud until i need more space for new songs... have fun cheers paul 

Guns of Navarone paul bush

Well we`v sat three times through ``four funerals and a

wedding´´ and we`v ate all the cookies from the jar,

We`r sitting miles apart on our secondhand couch could

this be our.... ``bridge too far´´ ? ...

Well every Wednesday night is scrabble and a pint,

with our new friends we met in Corfu...well he´s so funny

and she`s so smart...do they feel just as lost,

Like we do ?

Oh for pitys sake, We dont need a break

Is it time we tried something new

Stop being meek and mild, I say lets go wild

Break out the vodka and our dancing shoes

Maybe We´ll try a new postion do it in the rough

It all depends on my condition Once is not enough

I´m made of sterner stuff it just cant be a sin

doing it behind Tesco`s wheely bins on a saturday

or a rainy day in the park

…..solo......

Well I´ll arm wrestle , any man in the bar

Fight off the man who wants to tear us apart

Draw pistols at dawn If that`s what it takes

( or you can burn me at the stake yeah)

I´ll play a walk-on part in a period piece ,

Swe-ep you up in my arms on the edge of a cliff

r riding horses on on an empty beach

…..We can be just who we want......

I´ll wear a ruff just like ``shakespeare in love´´

Fight Mr D àrcy in a freezing cold tub.....climb a

office block ten stories high , jump off the top

and write your name in the sky

I`ll even drink my beer shaken not stirred,

Wear a bunny outfit just like in Bridget Jones ,

Wear a mask just like in eyes wide shut

..….Untill you just cant get enough.....

Join a club, for swingers with loose ends,

Just like the couple from the flat downstairs

Rent a black tuxedo just for one day

you walk around in red lingerie

Oh for pitys sake, We dont need a break

There´s time to start something new

Lets dance into the dark unknown, till we have grown

…..We can be just who we want.....

Right off the bat I´m fan of you songs  but i find myself going back to youre country acoustic guitar slide guitar format of which you really excell so I understand that you want to expand your song pallet , i just want you to go back to your roots , this is no critque just my personel taste  , I really missed the acoustric guitar and simplicty cheers all the same great song

Well many many thanks for the encouraging comments guy`s ,Nick Lowe, Elvis costello wow  all the names you mentioned are really hero´s of mine I think because i´m a 70`s - 80`s  kind -a guy thats the way i write , after all these years I´m still thrashing about, I played in my first a band at 18 and wrote all the songs untill it disolved , then i had a maybe 14 years where i was too busy traveling working around Europe, I then started up again about 10 years ago hobbying but since downloading cakewalk about three yeras ago i seem to be having more fun than ever mainly due to the encouragement from this forum ..so its all your fault ! cheers everyone  the master mix will soon be finished.  Paul B

Yeah I like this very much loved the double guitars cheers p

 

Thanks for the comments and encouragement guys , I´m at the fun point of just adding some  guitar fills , bits of vocals, percussion I´m  just trying to get everthing nice a sepereate and not too over complicated ...... i´ll not listen to it for a bit, so as to clear my head and my rose tinted headphones ..cheers P

That's food for thought Paul, thank you. I'd be interested to know what you don't like about the drums - do you mean when the "loud" drums come in?

Straight off the bat its a great song Keith , I just didnt like the sound of the drums, its just my  personal taste  really  sorry , the melody really draws one in, so its all there , I´d be really  interested to see  what you`re going to do with it ...I´ll shut up now before i get myself into more trouble ..cheers P.

Hi Keith, really good intresting melody, one never knows where its going untill it gets there , I think the synth`s (sax as well)let it down and cheapens what is a great song and the midi drums are not very nice (I use EZdrums 2) this is well worth finishing , its got so much going for it .. I didnt hear any guitar (Iwould say that being a guitarist) good vocal range, lots to play around with cheers P

Hi chaps here`s a new one for 2023 way not finished needs some filling out towards the end and a decent mixdown as it say rough demo , the drums will be seperated in the new mix ,,have fun ...its about relationships as usual ..

 

Loved the chord changes great song tight production ..

 

I look forward to your songs...... .just lovely ..great vocals liked the subtle double vocals , harmonies worked really well  great song ..cheers P

Nothing ``shamless´´ about this song as long as you dont dance around in yer underpants like kylie , loved the break , backing vocals hit the spot . nice one..

Lovely song and production liked the strat sound .nice one

Not being the best at production myself here´s my twopeneth worth, I loved the chord changes but i felt they coulve be more acentuated (hopefully thats the word)and at times there was just too much going on and not enough space  , I wouldnt rush this one Lynn its well worth a slight re-think .I`´m sticking my neck out here but Its got a ``crime of the centry ´´ feel to it   just my thought `s cheers paul

As always fantastic vocals your voice really has feeling , wasnt overly keen on the solo guitar maybe nyon without the chourus pedal would have been a better choice just my taste on it ... lovely song

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