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.

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!!!!

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

Wow, thanks for that Lynn - always appreciate you taking the time to have a listen Cheers Nigel

Hi Paul thanks, really glad you liked it Nigel Hi Amicus Glad you liked the track, hope you enjoy the video as well - cheers Nigel

Hi Grem Thanks for those kind comments - always appreciate you taking the time to have a watch and listen Cheers Nigel Hi Daryl thanks for that, really appreciated Nigel

Thanks for this, your comments always appreciated Hi Bjorn Ah lockdown - unfortunately we still have lockdown, albeit somewhat watered down, but still a curfew - think everyone has had enough of it by now. But as you said, it did give us time to do some stuff we wouldn't have!! Nigel

Thanks Gary, glad you enjoyed it Cheers Nigel

Hi Wookie Thanks for that, I always appreciate what you have to say Cheers my friend Nigel

Rob for what you've described this is to be used for, it sounds very good to me - it has that sort of Historical feel to it Look forward to hearing / seeing the finished piece Nigel

Jesse Like this - agree with what tom said re the mix, apart from that, cool my friend Nigel

Bit of a Squeeze vibe going on here!! - good track - I would agree with tom, a bit toppy for my personal tastes, otherwise cool Cheers Nigel

Good track - i would have increased the bass a bit, but apart from that, definitely caught that sixties vibe Nigel

Allan Good track, definitely reminds me of the Byrds which is a good thing! Cool Nigel

Hi douglas Appreciate the kind comments Thanks Nigel

Hi Gary - good track - agree about backing vocals - could really make a difference Otherwise great Nigel

Hi - yes that was something we had not really done before so I was pleased when it sounded OK!! Cheers Nigel

Bill - had a listen to the excerpts - its difficult to gauge them from such short clips - have you thought of saying picking your favorite and just posting that? Would love to listen to a completed track as they sound interesting!! Cheers Nigel
