I wore that Koln Concert out on vinyl and your version brought back the memories! Many thanks, I think you did a great job and the piano was recorded very well, whatever you used! cheers, -Tom

. . . and everything smells better once you leave the barn . . .

Taupe is dangerous because it's on my mastering chain now and it's got so gawd dayum many buttons and wheels and settings. Wish I could find a Taupe Best Practices forum.

sorry . . . K-pop?

That sounds reasonable . . . whereas I listen to BBC all night in one earbud, and wake into NPR "Morning Edition" . . . and after all that horrific news throughout my dream state, I know the oncoming day must be better!

It's because I was watching the "Monty Python Almost the Truth Lawyer's Cut" on Netflix this week . . . and I read this post.

Yes let's give Larry a furlough, he's a legend.

Medley indeed! Is this a demo tape to submit to a label? I hope so! 'Bout time your stuff was signed. I listened on headphones and the first one had a bit too much bass level. The one about the coffee in the morning was sonically very together! Right after that, the "come and get it if you think that you can" has a nice funky vibe. After that, love the funky guitar riff. I like the medley concept but I don't know what each is called or even if I should? Because Life is a Circle. just friggin awesome, so creative . . . cheers, -Tom

Hey another winner! I thought in the first part, the synth pad was competing in volume with the vocalist, just a bit. Loved the video and the smoke martini was interesting! You are making good use of the lockdown it seems! cheers, -Tom

Yes, very cool feel to this. It is a bit hot in the headphones, but you can get that under control and tighten up a bit, this is 100% movie or documentary material. cheers -Tom

I guess maybe, if the audience was into avant garde.

How does a squirrel deliver pizza? Really, that makes no sense at all. Sometimes I wonder if you guys aren't just a bunch of jokers.

Probably on that all expenses paid Izotope junket.

Just to add to the enlightenment . . . A pair of 20 inch xlrs - $1700. noice!!!

@treesha - thanks, glad you liked it! I hope you can post more of your tunes to the forum . . . good stuff. @Makke - many thanks for the listen and the comment! @Barry Seymour- very glad you found it interesting! One man's idiosyncrasy is another man's turning the channel to the next show. I think the mix is close but I have some midrange stuff to sort out, which always takes so durn much time. That's actual work, and isn't this all supposed to be fun??? Anyway, thanks! @thegaltieribrothers - Paul many thanks, it was fun to watch this come together. I appreciate the comment . . .

cha cha cha!!! Great vocals and the percussive mix was a treat . . .

Dee-lightful!!! It evokes the sea. I really like the drive and the atmosphere of this piece! In the middle part, you have a drone-type instrument hanging and sustaining on a "D" and I think you might consider backing off on that one a bit, or maybe eq it differently, because that heavy drone D might be sucking some mix bandwidth you might want to give to the surrounding sparkly instruments. Just a thought. maybe give your soundcloud file a half a mo of space, before the fun starts? It's a bit abrupt from the get go. now it was pretty criminal to bring the lady's vocal in right at the end, then bail. I feel like this could be three minutes longer, and her voice could really dip and dive along the sea foam . . . very cool piece Starise! cheers, -Tom

That song is a maneater. Put it down, careful now, easy! Now, slowly walk away . . . SLOWLY!!! Actually kudos for trying, you got this. You going to play his sax solo on the guitar? ?

The whole damn world, apparently! "She Gave Her Heart to Jethro"

Sorry to dredge this back up! A belated thanks to @SteveC, @kakku, and the venerable wherever-the-heck-he went @Bob Oister . . . So like nearly a year later, here's a vid . . . any comments are welcome, thanks!

This song must've been eaten by slugs. No file found. Darn slugs!!!

You have big balls and did a good job! Wait until they hear "Dirty Laundry" . . . love that too.

Having heard your excellent work for a while now, with great guitar work (love the whammy tremelo dips!) I think I'm noticing the bass. It seems to breathe in the mix a lot less than the other instruments. It might be so 2-D as to "narrow" the overall mix. How do you record the bass? I wonder if your interface is giving it enough depth of field, or if some compression could be backed off? I dunno. It's not an awful bass mix, I just think it could be improved. I assume your bass is mixed right down the center? Maybe I'm crazy but I think your awesome guitar, and even the drums, have more roomy life to them and mix width than the bass does. Maybe I'm giving you a starting point on a wild goose chase . . . sorry! I do like your style and the genre is always a good listen. cheers, -Tom

Keep it up '80's man!!! I'm right there with ya. It's a great rendition and you have a touch with this. There's a bit of sibilance on the vocals in spots. "Mistaken" "Speak" I highly recomment Oeksound Soothe, it would fit in well with your other toys. I do like how your posts give the background on your tools, and "Ozone 8 doing whatever it felt like doing" was pretty epic! I would cut the intro or at least cut the high pitched quick filtered synth up top, it opens your effort and makes me think "video game" but that's just me. I think your effort has more weight and substance than an intro with "bleep blurp bleep" signifies. cheers, -Tom
