Bajan Blue

I just love that drummer - the one in the yellow silk!!!!!! Just brilliant - think I might keep this for any new drummers I might work with?

Hi Paul Thanks for the great comments - thanks Nigel Hi David Wow thanks for that - yes I do play all the instruments, but I don't sing!! Cheers Nigel Thanks, I'm glad you liked it Nigel Thanks Wookie - your comments always appreciated Cheers Nigel

Hi Douglas - No I don't sing...thankfully!! This is our previous vocalist Dave -i always liked his voice for these sort of tracks Thanks for the listen Nigel

Ah, yes the video may be a little poor technically, but still quite good to watch ? Thanks for taking the time to have a watch Cheers Nigel

Bjorn Good job - sounds pretty original to me - nice one my friend Nigel

This is great - really really enjoyed this - great writing, playing and mix Thanks for posting Nigel

Like the song and like the lyrics - have to agree a bit about the drums which need a bit of a look at Definitely could be a really good track Nigel

Freddy - like this - agree with Gary re the lyrics at the start Good job Nigel

Hi Douglas - good track - liked both versions but think I liked the electric one - just to be different ? Great job Nigel

Sounds good now Gary, especially with the backing vocals. Nigel

Ah ha - so Wookie first in using one of the new Arturia Modulation plug ins - I got them as well but have only used the Chorus Dimension one so far - after hearing this, i'll make sure I get using the Phaser quick quick!! I like this track a lot - really good job my friend Nigel

Hi Bjorn Thanks for that - i think you can notice the grainy quality of the video when you watch it on a full screen. Anyway hope you liked it and thanks for taking the time to have a listen Nigel

like this and great guitar - right up my street Thanks for posting - i enjoyed listening Nigel

A crystal clear mix and loved the piece Great job Nigel

Hi Reid - please don't go.......as someone I am sure has said before - if you post something and give your usual opinion as to whether good and bad, and then subsequently get a little something for it, great - its very difficult in the music world these days to get anything!! And you have been here a long time - I'm sure we all trust your views on these things Nigel

same here

Mix sounds good to me now Gary - just ready for some of your great vocals! Nigel

Sounds good Steve - good bass and nice mix Nigel

Well, we are still in Lockdown here in Cape Town, and we have also had some awful weather, so the last video we were doing from our 2017 album has been delayed a bit. So I was just looking at some old stuff we had done and thought I would just post this video - one of our first videos from about 12 years ago - have to say I was really surprised at how bad the "technical" quality was - looks very grainy - things on this front have really improved - but anyway the music still sounds OK I think - hope you enjoy it Cheers Nigel PS - you might have to turn the volume on as this is hosted on our website and sometimes the volume is muted https://www.devinelie.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/honey_on_the_beach.mp4

Noob question. Can anyone comment, what would you normally use the different preamps, commpressions and filters on? A individual bus or master bus? I use their pre amps on tracks - depends on what the track is, synth for instance, but say I've recorded a "real" synth and it doesn't quite have enough thickness, but sounds good, i put a pre amp on first, then I always use their compressors now (mainly the FET 76) then whatever else effects wise I do use the FET 76 on buses when needed - perhaps I've doubled tracked a guitar, it helps to gel them together. Nigel

Well could not resist - just purchased and have been having a little play - they are good, but the Chorus Dimension is worth the money on its own!!! I've used the UAD version for years - i've just done an A/B test with the UAD and the extra control you can get with the Arturia is just fabulous - so, same luscious richness you can achieve with the UAD but then lots and lots more luscious richness - I just love this and will definitely use it a great deal - the other two will get use I expect, but for me the Chorus Dimension is well worth the $49 - in fact to me I'd pay more than that just to have the Chorus Dimension on its own!!!! Nigel \

Sounds good to me - nicely put together, good job Nigel

Hi David - thanks for that - one thing I do know, 2017 is certainly better than 2020, that's for sure!!!!! Keep well Nigel

Hi Freddy Thanks so much for that, i'm so pleased you enjoy our music and videos Cheers Nigel

Hi Lynn Like this and a great job - vocals and guitars really cool And 7/8 not easy to make it sound this good Nigel
