SUPAREELS

Thanks for the FB. I have been using Spitfire software for a bit lately. not the new Abby Road one yet as I've just added a Komplete S88 to the playroom and it is a bit on the I'm gonna leave you if you buy another thing ! from the boss LOL. However I've always thought your stuff is what I might aspire too, so it was interesting to see what your using ... All the best and stay well . Best regards Steve

This so you, really enjoy your posts David. Do you use any Spitfire samples in your renditions or are they 'organic' so to speak ? Keep well Steve

I loved it the first time and as the Wooks said sometime you have to move past the tech and just enjoy the work ... great vocal and keys. Great re-post thanks M8. Stay well Steve

Very nice, soft and from the heart .. thanks Bjorn for the post and sharing .. ATB and stay well Steve

Beautiful ... just beautiful ... any chance of acoustic guitar or harp to enhance the vibe .. (I'm listening to it again now as I write .. getting sleepy .. sleepy . .. .... .) Steve

Thanks Lynn and I always appreciate your input and time .. My thinking is to ditch this and start over .. truth is all these comments are, in fact, what I would have observed had it been someone else's work and as said it was a new way of recording with some new stuff ... we'll see ? Stay well mate (and I loved the collab you did Freddie) ALB Steve

As usual Tom you have picked out the hardest things to change LOL. As said I will re-work the song with you observations very much at the forefront. I tried a different method in the recording and mix, in that the main song was recorded and mixed separately from the vox ( recorded in a different session). It seemed to give a lot more CPU space when recording the vocal bits with FX, and that bit worked but I think I got a bit cocky and in the first take and used 'air' far too much! This 2nd attempt seemed better but I needed a little help with the song in general ...and now with your comprehensive comments I have it. I always enjoy your input here on this site and I thank you for taking so much time with this work ? Stay well Steve

Thanks for listening and I think it's back to the old drawing board, you comment is much appreciated and I will work on it!

Sounds good but not great ... then again on the 2nd listen I felt something's missing to bring it through . not sure if Bapu has a point but give a different drum score to it and see if it changes the vibe .. perhaps move on with the tune ... Bit more salt and pepper maybe ... I did like it though ? SupaReels

Thankyou for the comment and time ATB Steve

Thankyou for your comments, all of which, I feel, has improved my song ... it's here if you wanna see if it's any better. I have left the original track for the time being. https://soundcloud.com/user-936763372-896820317/liasons-in-the-dark-pt1-remix

Yep your right ... it's the new sound module I'm getting to grips with. Many thanks for listening ? Steve

GOT IT! LOVE IT ... ?? BUT REMIX ... NOW ?

Love the song writing and indeed the mix .. in that if I heard it on the radio I wouldn't think twice about the song ??at all ! SupaReels

Mixed feeling about the lyrics now I'm 70 ! ... I remember listening to the VU in a flat in Kennington S. London along with King Crimson and the Stones in the day .. brought it all back ..Never slept for days .... good work guys ! Dare I say, you did it proud !!? ......God they were good times ATB SupaReels

Cor blimey .. It's the Shadows ... it is! ...... great stuff! note perfect ... love the chord progression .. it is sixties !! ALB SupaReels

I think I'd like to see the words so I could follow it .. but interesting vibe ...good work Steve

Great song guys. Knew it would be ... although I feel Tom has a point regarding he's comment :- ( I'd put a vote in for either slightly increasing the volume of the lead vocal in the verses, or more likely dipping the volume of the fuzzed-out guitar a bit so the lead vocal can pop more ) ATB Steve

I hear a Foreigner vibe here .. my goto band excellent writing ... as usual ALB Steve

A BLOODY MASTER AT WORK ... I won't hijack this song, but for me the heartbeat drum and ambience has a draw to me, like the smell of a freshly baked apple pie .. I'm irresistibly drawn to writing words for it .. or indeed eating a freshly baked home made apple pie ... Well done it's hard to write something simple and so lovely ? ALB Steve

Thanks mate, the wife calls this type of vocal ' a talking song' ...maybe it's something in the air ..I danno ? Stay safe Steve

Many thanks for listening and the comment .. as said I have just added a Scarlett 18I20 and I think I found the problem that you and Bjorn picked up on, in that I used something called 'air' to some of the parts. Long one short it adds a additional higher band, I think this was what Bjorn may have heard .. so he's ears didn't betray him. I'm doing some vocal stuff at the moment for a friend but I will remix and see/hear if it sounds right .. more later and I send my thanks for your time ATB Steve

Thankyou for the comments ..must say it's not my best work I just needed something that had a lot of tracks so I could experiment with mastering a mix using different bit rates and samples. I am now using a Focusrite Scarlett 18/20 so I am on a learning curve, a bit different to my old UR44. I will go back over this to deal with that static sound you mentioned Bjorn as, indeed, I trust your ears LOL ...... You raise an excellent point with your whole comment Jack esp the strings thankyou. Steve

LIAISONS IN THE DARK PT1 She was sitting all alone on the bedroom chair Whisky numbed the pain of those years gone by She wondered through those playing cards that,we all know so well But just came up empty and she began to cry She never saw the truth in his words full of deception He played her for a fool and the dots made no connection And if it happened all again would she have known inside And would he really ever cared for the many time she cried Searching for a reason, but it doesn't come You try so hard to fight it but you just felt numb FEMAIL VOX 'Cause I have tried, tried and tried Feel drained nothings the same coming home to somewhere else ….It's going to take this fight in the end … M8 Now she's left that all behind her, she likes to be alone She keeps her heart protected, a sweet smile made of stone She doesn't need love no more, and reminds herself each day That men will always break your and leave you anyway And I guess it's true, I have to say When I see her quite by chance, She looked a million dollars but within a fleeting glance I swear I saw an emptiness where love had always been It was then I realised she was just a beauty queen

Forget all the timing shyt and and tech... I really enjoyed this album so much, and rather than comment ... I paid a poultry sum to own a great piece of work ! You are one great muso mate ...., as always said ? ALB Steve
