Any comparisons to NI's Picked Acoustic?

Ewe never know!

Probably put two-sided tape up on the studio walls? Or Velcro receiver strips? That way, you can just hang them up. If you use nails or tacks, you'll have to through their skin, or feet, which could be a bloody mess. I still don't get how you will keep them from bleating out whilst you are in recording mode. That's hard to EQ out.

Agreed, but they make you browse pretty hard to find any a la carte option, and there is none for Glory Days, sadly.

I know some Minoan history and have always found the bull leaping particularly fascinating, and this soundtrack for that is really wonderful. There can be 5 or so elements going on at once, and I can hear them all cleanly in the mix. Plus the rhythm pulses along, infectious. I think you cleared the bull and stuck the landing.

I bet your tips sucked because they didn't have any pockets. And that's as far as I'm going to go with that.

I believe all of the great advice here (and a great read it had been!) Is missing the important point that it's a church gig. In a smaller congregation setting where everyone knows the players and parishoners without a scorecard, no problem, that's a very friendly and forgiving audience. And God will forgive you any misfingered trespasses. All will be well! Enjoy! And if it's a big megachurch, you're judged like it's the Rapture for every single note and mannerism you produce. Lord be with you cause the self-appointed critics in the pews may not be. Go for it and have fun!

I liked the different sections, but it really got going around the 1 minute mark. I agree the intro bassline against the drums kind of left me wondering where the groove was, but after the intro it's aiiiight! Very well put together and for me, got better as it went along. No comment on the message of the video other than I'm glad you didn't get your ***** kicked in the mall for wearing that sheep mask! Did anyone react like you were the weirdo? I like your courageous approach, the video is very watchable.

This would work great for a web feed, or a crab feed, or a hot dog eating contest. What harp did you use, it sounds great! The flute does seem to have some velocity layer indiscretions - suddenly louder, suddenly softer. The tone suits the piece, however. Overall a nice bit of mellow. I was walking the streets of Knossos.

Thread count! Give us the thread count!!!!! Asking for a friend.

I had set aside $1,000,000 to buy plugins, . . . but only bought TC tuner for 9, SWAM brass collection for 390, Softube Tape echoes 45, bohemian cello 149. Point is, I saved $999, 407 dollars.

lovely indeed, I liked the high register synth string pads, very airy. Thanks for the chill!

reeeee-laxxxxxx-innnnnngg! Nice job indeed with this ice giant, your synth prowess proves once again that you are no Ymir mortal.

Did your bass amp play the splash cymbal? Nice! You guys were retro before if retro ever becomes cool.

I got Solid just for the snare. Eggcellint.

Hi Jack, you'd just add a third party drum program into your project. Addictive Drums 2 is usually a good place to start, but there are loads of other options.. I'm not familiar with the Cakewalk drums but I'd bet they have some more flexibility and different hi hats you could swap in or out. Again this is all just my tonal preference I'm relating to you. You might not want to change anything just because some guy on the internet says ? The hi hat in your song is very much a "techno" hi hat, I think, but I thought your song would benefit from a more organic and natural acoustic drum vibe. Might be a thought, or not. P.s. I listened again and I like the "tong" of the ride cymbal hit. But the open hi hat that follows it is the same sample each time, same waveform same sustain. Any way to mix it up could be a plus.

That was nifty, thanks!

Greatly creative, and if you think about it, has a bit of the Greatful Dead vibe. Amazing vocal performance, and the drum mix is super clear.

You win. Game over.

The answer to your question becomes far more interesting than you might expect. Especially on headphones! I liked it very much. You and Jesse Screed on this forum share some musical DNA. Just great for an adventurous if indulgent listening experience. If I could offer an opinion on the proceedings, it would be to improve your drum sample quality a little, or at least that open hi hat at fixed volume that just demands the listener's attention at the detriment of the other excellent song parts. I appreciated the unexpected all the way along this ride. Thanks!

How did you get Steve Wariner to play 5 times on your song??? This is just great, it kicks ***** without apologies. I'm listening on mid-level quality headphones atm, and the mix sounds a bit top-end focused. I'll give it a spin when I get back to better cans and the Neumanns. It ended too soon.

That stanky soul guitar on the left had me grooving the whole way. Good vocal treatment, fit it all perfectly. Stereo MC worthy. 90's lives on!

Did he have a huge green screen setup? Well done, lookout Maroon 5!

So why are the abdabs screaming? Abdabs by and of themselves are unsettling enough. The world wants to know! Good music has novel and unpredictable changes, this fits the bill, does it not? And I liked that really happy girl in the vid.

I got a Tom Tom Club feeling from this! I like fun music about oddly serious subjects. Nice job here! You might bring the drums up in the mix, as the plinky panned synth/organ things were a fair bit louder than the kick and snare, at least in my headphones. YMMV of course. Your lyrics, and the way you held certain syllables, very good! You could send this tune in to the Weather Channel, in case they get tired of the reporter-getting-blasted-by-the-wind-on-live-tv trope!
