SUPAREELS

Very Very nice mate .. I wish I played guitar with your accuracy, I think Lynn nailed it ! ALB Steve

A too long but nice playing ... Wot no Hammond ! LOL

How did you feel about this when you finished it David ? There's a lot of unseen work in this and I think you did a good job .. but I have to say I prefer Émilie Fend acoustic version( Augustin Barrios Mangoré 'Vals op 8 No 4 with a Götz Bürki guitar ) however overall this is a great bit of instrumental playing and I love it ... and your interpretation .. well done ? ATB Steve

Really nice song and I love the vocal harmonies which seem to me organic and not a voice harmonizer ... unmistakable you. Very much enjoyed it ? Steve

Smashing song and the vid works well ... I could get lost in this stuff ... great work mate ATB Steve

Really loved this bit'o'work. It reminded me of a song I heard some years ago, but I'm not sure what it was ... I felt it was Floyd'ish in a way and I really enjoyed it so thanks for the posting ... BTW you need dry spells to find out what it was you started all this stuff for ... ? ATB Steve

Thanks guys ...Still doing my kitchen so no new stuff, but the boss gave me a day and I thought I would try the Bandlab mixing app on this old song. Found it to be very good, how do they do this stuff for nicks ? Thanks Bandlab? This was recorded using my old but still working Tascam 688 ( now mixed down ) so whilst I agree with Tom here I can't loose the 16th H/H ...shame but I might have a go at doing it again, it's just at 70 the old voice ain't got the horses it did have ?. just for the record I used my DX7 for the organ ... still a great bit'o'kit. Stay well Steve

Thanks mate I wrote this years ago when I had a voice .. LOL.

https://www.bandlab.com/papergate/oh-lord-remix-733af961 Tried Band lab's mixing app ... loved it on this really old song so I thought I'd post.

Have to say Bjorn this is far to close to my heart. You have captured so much in your film ( The really cool car against a tent where people live homeless .. and no chance of the dream offered by b/s advertising, as one example ) This film/vid brought a tear ... hopeless and unachievable goals ... some deserve it others who work hard and fall without help don't ... you got it all. I have listened to your stuff through many years and you have always shown an eye for the love of this world and also it's failings .. well done old mate you got me and that's not easy, believe me ? Stay safe Steve

Sorry to be bitchin' but I come back to see if you've taken on the advice ... just as my ears were a little better .. and ... nuffing ..still bloody loud ! and there was so much good advice to help ... Ah well ........

Sweet bad sad .... oh and well played your getting better and better my friend ATB Steve

All of the above is good advise from seasoned songwriters. My thinking is to watch as much YouTube vids on mixing and mastering. It really is hard to get it somewhere near right and you'll sometimes end up doing the whole song again ... not a good experience but it makes for good knowledge which will allow you to get a sweet mix more times than not. Try taking out all processing and focus on each track making sure your master is also dry. The trick is not to rush it, take time to hear the difference and slowly tweak each track. Lastly it just sounds like your master bus was set too high for limiting giving you the result you got ... but I like the song so I feel it's worth the work ? Stay safe Steve

I'm sure my old ear drums will mend .. far too hot mate, I'm getting distortion ... sorry Steve

Great stuff, tight and interesting grove ...loved it! 10/10 Steve

As usual a great mix and provocative scenes ... well ... thought provoking. As a words guy I'd love to read these with the song unfolding but hey ho! Most probably chimkin2 has the right handle on it ... but still I'm glad you posted as I enjoyed it ? ALB Steve

Thankyou for the comments and advice David, it's a long way off but I will get there ... thanks again for listening ...ATB Steve

Better ... much better. I feel like the mix is a bit muddy now ( I am a fussy bugger, that much I do know ) .. maybe a bit of separation and a tweak on the mids .. OK .. tin hat time ..sounds like the wife's calling ?️ Stay loose mate .....and safe ATB Steve

Hello mate, yes I made it private as it's not finished and I was only interested in guys here on this site ... as they are more attuned to this kind of stuff. Big thanks for listening and the 'like' as it means a lot .... Stay well Steve

Great stuff David really makes sense of everything with the vid .. pulls it all together until I was left wondering if it depicted a break up or a make up ...hmmmm ? I'm wondering if that was the idea ... anyway Very artistic indeed ATB Steve

Bit of fun and I enjoyed the lyric .. oh and the finger picking was fine to my ears, have to agree with Jack here and ask why the drums ( if any ) are so low in the mix. ( was gonna grab the 'I don't know' line but Tom beat me to it!) All good though cause I like the grove ? ALB Steve

Cleaned up a few points as in comments ?

Nice job .. I see a sleazy little night club, a blue smokey view to your stage performance .... " Another bourbon waiter " .... Steve

Hello mate, The answer is no I didn't use the 12s it's a mix of two 6 acoustics with the addition of 2 tracks of a Les Paul (copy) and a beefed up Pacifica .. so not big buck guitars. However I wanted it as organic as possible so I used a Fender bass, quite pleased with the playing as I'm no guitar player ... the only synthetic bit was the strings, it's difficult to get an orchestra in here ?. In actual fact it was the words that really needed some work to get the message across and blend with the video but it did take a long time to get it right so I'm really glad you enjoyed it .. thanks ? Steve

Many thanks for your comments. Steve
