Love the unexpected video! This was so cool - you have a multitude of talents and an eye for quality.

Cool guitar tones and I like the snare. I'm a fan of 4 minutes or under in most cases. It sounds great - if you put any more into it, I would build up the lyrical ideas. I'm missing what's really going on in the story, but maybe that's just me.

Great vocal sound and quality voice. Really nice.

Driving beat, wah guitar and great timing changes - what more could you want? Great work.

I'm a huge Beatles fan as well! Here are a few of the covers from the Blog that I've done of the Beatles, if you are interested. https://baselines.com/?p=6973 https://baselines.com/?p=6590 https://baselines.com/?p=5535 https://baselines.com/?p=5475 Cheers!

Thanks! That Azronika has a great Beatles/Elton voice - much better than mine!

Ha! Yeah. I worked for a German company for a while and on my trips to Munich I had to be more careful. Thanks for visiting!

Hi Terry - thanks for listening, and thank you for including that video - I love that song but never saw the video before. I agree about your comment of rock after the 90s - part of it is I'm just getting old, but I really think a lot of it is drivel now - I like listening to the songs that get posted here more than the songs that are on the radio now.

Thanks a lot Larry - I put a lot of work into it, I'm glad you liked it!

The Vista of Now - I love it.

Thanks for the comments Steve!

Thank you for watching. I'm in the US and it seems these days that everybody is offended by anything, so that is why I phrased it like I did. Things are really weird these days!

Thank you Lynn - This was kicking around for a while because I was unhappy with my original vocal. I redid it all as one take and I was happy with how it came out. Thank you for listening! Steve

Really cool - great to hear this song again. Well done.

Hi - I hope I am all right posting this and don't make any faux pas. I'm not always the most aware. This video has a little history in it, and it may not be politically correct whatever that is. I'm curious - I know that there's a lot of you Brits out there (that is OK to say? I know people get so offended these days and I certainly don't want to do that.). And I know there are a lot of people probably as old as me, maybe older God forbid. (again - is that alright? - geez). I'd be interested in hearing any experience you guys had during or directly after WWII. Anyway, here's the video I am going to post: https://baselines.com/?p=7086 Lies and Consequences: Youtube link as well:

Thank you for listening Paul. Steve

Thank you Nigel.

Hi - I am hopefully going to get the people at YouGrow to find a playlist for this song. If you have some time, could you give it a play and send it to your pals so they can help me with the number of streams? Thank you for any help!

I just wanted to leave a post about Mixea - I tried it for the first time and was impressed. I passed in a song I recorded in CW and mastered in Ozone and was happy with, and it was immediately improved with the default settings. I brought the Mixea version in to Ozone 10 as a reference track and tried to match what I had done previously. The biggest differences were this: - The low mids needed a substantial cut. 300-900 range - the hi mids needed a slight boost. 2K-5K range - 900-1K needed a notch cut. - I had to match LUFs to around -10. With all these adjustment, I got pretty close, but there was still an intangible clarity. The Mixea version sounded more professional, instruments more defined in their own space. I'm going to get the yearly subscription which offers unlimited Masters for $99/year. Hopefully I can figure out exactly what I need to do to go the extra mile. Steve

Thank you very much for listening and your comments. Yes I did the instruments - the piano is a little bit of a cheat though, because there are two tracks going on. Steve

Hi Bjorn - the music was first and then the video - I kind of wrote the lyrics based on the video. Thanks for the feedback! Steve

Hi Kevin - thank you very much! This one took some time before I got to a point where I think it is acceptable. Steve

Andrew Scheps says to ignore the -14LUFs recommendation and trust your ears. I'm with him - for a long time I used -14 as a goal, but I think maybe it is not the best thing to do now.

I think this fits in with a video that Nigel posted recently in some ways. I finally got around to writing lyrics which is always hard for me. I must confess to having AI help out a little, but that doesn't mean I didn't put in the time and work!!! https://baselines.com/?p=7069

Hi Nigel - thanks for watching!
