SUPAREELS

All of the above being correct in that I'm not sure if I can say I enjoyed it .. sort of, ....... there are bits of the l/f that were managed well and didn't go anywhere, musically and other parts that didn't relate to your overall piece ... as said it's a start and worth a bit of time to engage with ... looking forward to the finished article .. Steve

I hear Dillon and Petty suiting your vocal extremely well . I think the mix is right and the song itself is right up there ... small nig is that I feel the vox could be brought up a tad and the fade is a little too long .... but hey .. I really enjoyed this one ... think you found your mojo mate so welcome back LOL? Steve

Yep! but what can you do ... plus we're going back some 50 years LOL Thanks for both comments mate ? ATB Steve

Just a bit of fun with a different kinda love song .... https://soundcloud.com/user-936763372-896820317/shei-said-just-a-bit-of-fun?si=ce3f488be3f54fa7be5780a165272497&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

GREAT LYRICS and a happy message .. love the smokey blues brothers feel ? Steve

Thanks for the listen and comments ... means so much coming from you, a real compliment ? Steve

Great cover really enjoyed it, your vocal work is right up there. I was looking to add the Lurssen Mastering Console to my arsenal sounds like a great toy ? Steve

Sorry to disappoint mate

Yep you are correct I forgot to send the vox out on mixdown to the stereo m. O/put thereby leaving it on its own mix ... some of the mids to highs were affected, and as the mix wasn't for a customer I felt it would do .... so I did notice the A/B discrepancy you commented on ... I have since slapped my wrist for being a lazy sod LOL Thanks Tom for your time Steve

My goodness ...you are a master sir .. absolutely amazing Video and music . Really draws you in I now have video envy LOL. Steve

Knock out comment .. Thanks Lynn, ( took a lot of points made here by my peers, so the end result wasn't with help ? ) ATB Steve

First class vocal ? Steve

Steve, you ask good questions! First, I'm glad to be back, and second I'm ready to rock 2022. I replaced my 12 year old, first generation i7 processor with an AMD Ryzen 5 5600-6 cores @3.7 gigs with 32 gigs of memory, and a new video board to be 4k ready as soon as I get a camera that's 4k ready. I had to wipe Window 10 and reinstall most of my apps, but was able to do so after a few weeks. As for the curare (should be an accent over the letter a), it's the drug used on poison blow gun darts in South American jungles. It's a paralyzing agent, sometimes used in surgery to quiet a muscle, for those who don't know. This song is the scientist in me coming out. Hi mate I had the same problem with my old PC a few tears back .. your system is much the same as the one I've been using and the Ryzen 5 runs really cool, great processor. It's always reinstating the software that sends you nuts .. Just a thing I now use 4 SSDs instead of HDDs and it really speeds up workflow One of them holds my samples and it's a great help when loading them in the DAW. BTW blow darts ain't your other hobby are they ... ?? Stay safe .. and keep 'em coming Steve

Been missing you mate, and I was getting worried .. another good one, so you haven't lost your touch ? ... so what did you use for the home-built replacement ? and wot do you know about the use of Curare hmmmm Steve

...As a words kinda guy, that is a great compliment, thankyou David .. means a lot! . .. now ......how can I get my head through the studio door ...... ☺️

Your vocal sounds to me, a little like the late Joe Cocker , absolutely the most impressive vox I've heard on this site .. ever, and musically excellent so ... DO NOT MESS WITH THE MIX it works fine. Just my opinion but 10/10 ? Steve Prefer the original .. but hey a good song as a good song ?

Another great recorder, I think it was only a four track? But look what the Beatles did with bouncing tracks on a 4 track machine .... admittedly it was a £30 gran dish Studer ... but hey ho Steve

Yep it was midi capable in that the 8th track could be 'striped' with an MTC (Midi Time Code), now sadly defunked, which could be hooked up to drive a DAW's time code from the external i/p. If MTC could be reunited (There is something called a 'midizer which converts MTC but it's a rare and v expensive thing) with my DAW's there would be so much I could get down and revamp as so much has changed since my purchase?. I could rant about this bit'o'kit but just stop here. thanks for the comment.

Thankyou Bjorn, it seems as if all us seasoned song writers are suffering now for their craft .. as said I have a dodgy right ear so find final mixes a challenge ?. I did take your comment and added a low pad sound at the place you noticed a kind of break, so your ears are still good my friend. Thanks for the heads up with rhyme zone, I have several books but feel I'm cheating if I didn't think of the words myself .. just a thing with me ?

I have had 3 of these over the years most of them as donors to keep my original going. It's great when you get someone in the studio and get a comparison vocal recording, people can't believe the quality .... then I tell them how much it cost in the day ... £2500 ...Ouch! LOL

This song brings me to mind of a Lennon message, one has to listen to it several times to see what it's meaning is. To me and my idea of a great mix is that you really need to see this as a painting, try to single out your message (Vocals) as red, and adjust the blue's and green's as your backing .. and I know that sound like wakkibacji stuff but it's not .. you need to take a step back and see what you want the listener to feel ... anyway I think it's a very good concept .. but needs work.

Have to agree, I a real wrench to replace my 1082 ... still miss it even with my stuff now. It was a great all in one sound module come mixer and your one was even better ! I use the Behringer X Touch with the Scarlett 18i20 and to be honest my old recordings were easier and very comparable.... but then I still love my Tascam 688 Midi Studio .. Yep I'm old school ... Thanks for taking the time for a reply ? Steve

Blimey mate what did you do .... who did you sell your soul to !?? Absolutely 1st class vocal, and I have always been a sucker for a 7 string peddle since I first heard one .... think you got this one bang to rights ... No1 fan Steve

Thankyou M ...Happens that I like your stuff a lot too ... ? Steve
