Thanks Ross!

Thank you for listening!

Sometimes ya just gotta rock out hard and loud. I bet it felt great to put that one together!

The stability is really very good now. Very few crashes. I still see small anomalies (trying to add gain to two tracks at once removes the audio is one), but it's no big deal. It's still a great DAW and I see no reason to use anything else.

Interesting song. The vocalist is really good.

wow - very cool. Everything sounds just right.

You always have a surprising chord change somewhere - I like that. I think we all feel like that about the BS level. It is astounding what passes for leadership these days.

Really nice job on this song. I was going to say that the vocal could sit better in the mix if it were a touch lower, but that is nit-picking. Some harmonies might work well on the chorus.

You get a 'like' simply for the self loathing comment - funny and relatable. The song is really nice, but as you have stated, the bass is not really present (at least to my ears). I'm no expert, but the kick drum sounds too loud to me. If I was working on this, I would try to define the bass guitar a little more. Generally, I have the bass feed into a buss with something to accentuate the high end (I use Maserati Bass - Waves). Then I create a send to another buss with RBass on it, which adds the bottom and some of the distortion that warms it up. I send both busses to an 'ALL BASS' buss for final eq and compression. In this case, I would also do some work to make sure the kick and bass have their own space, and that other instruments were not interfering with the bass.

Nice tight interesting recording.

Nice job Bjorn!

Awesome. Quality work here.

This is really well done. The mix sounds great to me. The only thing I could add (and this is personal taste and may be wrong) - the first acoustic guitar might benefit from a little touch of high frequency lift....very minor adjustment.

Thank you! I appreciate you visiting here AND my Youtube!!!

Thank you Jack

This finally has lyrics. I plan to include this on my third album release which will be called Charm and completed some time in early 2025. It won't be ready for all those Christmas sales (LOL - there are no sales anticipated, but I love releasing them anyway). There are both audio and video files available at the link below. https://baselines.com/?p=7138 As always thanks for listening and if you hear anything that could be done better, surely let me know. Steve

Thank you for listening, watching and commenting!!! Steve

Thanks Steve!

Thank you! When I first wrote this, I was playing around with Z3TA (which was part of Cakewalk for a while) and came across that sound that made me think of Telstar. It was called Creamy Poly, and things just developed from there.

Very original. I think some fx on the vocal would add to this. Walking walking in the rain style/

Sounds great!

I like the way you resolve the sustained chords. It is out of the ordinary.

Sounds really nice. I think just a touch of reverb on your vocal would add to this. You have a great smooth tone to your vocal.

Nice - somehow increasing the drive would be beneficial. I think it has to do with the bass part.

Sounds like a good start.
