SUPAREELS

As usual fkn knock out ... even busting my drums I want a higher mix on the vocal and a bit of separation on the backing vocal ... small crits .... I always feel a King Crimson vibe from your stuff .. the start of my downfall to dark rooms and wotnot ? anyway gooda go for a 4th listen LOL Steve

It's a great bit of work Kieth .. if I was in the chair I would start by doubling the vox with one track bounced 30 % left and 30% right, you could then sum it and use a widening tool to bring up the vocal with a little compression. From that I would keep the original vox track at center field on a different track and bring it up so as to enhance the overall fell of the vox. Your voice is great and on tune just a little to weak in your mix (IMO) so the above might help anyway great sound great work .. most of all ..all you! and that I love Steve

Absolutely beautifully put together .. I really enjoyed this although I would have used a little more reverb on the flute .. you know, just to soften it anyway top marks. Steve

Nice .. a change of guitar pick maybe .. just for variation.. You are a poet and for that top marks ! Steve

Like it .. but as Wookie has said it's a Dr Who theme .. can't be anything else with that underlying bass line .. me likes it but it is very muggy on the lower end ...

Thanks for listening and the great comment ! Steve

I know you've been on this site for years and I have seen you grow , always with the talent but lacking the means to achieve your desired goal .. I think you have done that with this piece of work. I love the arrangement and mix, the whole thing doesn't telegraph where the singer ( you ) is gonna take you and it's a quality that my hero, Sir Paul McCartney does, in spades! I love this song and it's unpredictable movement. Great stuff John ... Oh and I hope she liked it ? ATB Steve

I'll remember that ... so little 't' it is .... and will be ...with respect, my friend ALB Steve

Sorry ...now changed to the correct spelling ... Bat is right I didn't mean you.... I don't even know you LOL ?

Thanks .. means a lot coming from you ? Steve

The song was written and produced by me about 20 years ago using an 8 Tascam midi studio, Roland U220,Dx7 and a Shure mic with various Boss equipment .. and a much younger me. The version here was copied to Cake from the Tascam, with the addition of some compression etc and then mastered using my Sound Cloud account. Have to say it seemed easier to write songs when sitting at the top of my stairs, I sometimes feel all the toys to hand just get in the way of songwriting ... But it's too late now LOL Many thanks for the comments and thankyou for listening. ATB Steve

And now it's remixed ... do I get a tick or cross t ....

Clever Dick LOL

Of course it is ...all me, a lot younger admittedly, but all me ...now I'm older I mainly do ballads ... Thanks for the comment Steve

WOW ! My kind of listener ... I am, and have been for many years, more of a lyrics guy, When writing my stuff I feel the words are more important first, and then I try producing a colour ( musically ) to suit. All of my stuff has an understated message, sometimes easy and sometimes not. I haven't heard your work here yet so I'm not sure where your curiosity lays. Anyway the storey is a rich and intelligent girl and a down town, but worldly guy. He is smitten by her dependency on love for him given her looks and upbringing ... but she is a bit of a bitch, and although she won't admit it she puts all the blaim for everything in her life that's gone wrong on her, also, very rich parents, they give her everything but the one thing she wants ... love ...He sees, and he gives her all that in spades! thinking it will resolve her, and ultimately their relationship, there is an ambiguity which remains unsaid and they are secrets she shared in unguarded moment ...the upshot is stop *****ing around and face the truth love is love forget all else 'cause it lasts as long as it lasts. Thanks for the comment .... Steve

Check out the mastered track, The vocal has been brought forward ( up front ) Thanks for the comment M8 Steve

https://soundcloud.com/user-936763372-896820317/your-to-blaim?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing I have left the original to see if this worked... it's a good bit of time this saves but I wondered about the comments ... given the feed back from the original

Thanks checkout the remix ... for fun

Lotto fun ... and it's a no to the hole Steve

Cheques in the post T ......

Thanks for the compliment Steve

I think that's a great idea ... I'll try that out and see if it makes a big change in the dynamics of the song. I sang this one with emotion as I thought it suited the feel ... I now feel I might have over cooked it. Thanks for the compliment m8 ATB Steve

Thanks for taking the time to comment and I didn't notice the lyric was a little lost until you mentioned it, most probably because I wrote it a know the words .. so well spotted and thanks I'll have a go at bringing them forward as you suggested ... ( A good cry ain't bad for you even though we're blokes LOL ) ATB Steve
