I like old school 😁

Yeah "Led Zep sings ..." made me chuckle 🙂

This is a bit of a 70s throwback in terms of duration and the shameless solo in the middle. It's one of those "driving through the night to get home to my woman" kind of themes. I hope it's not too long that you doze off. Comments and critiques welcomed as always. https://www.bandlab.com/post/f805bbf1-a5d5-ef11-88cd-000d3aa44d1c

I did, yes, and it can work very well.

I'll certainly give that a go 👍

Nothing in the way of pitch correction, I could properly sing back then 🤣 Duly noted, will revisit, thanks @timboalogo

Yes indeed. The drumming was in aid of testing the (then) new Strawberry Studios in Manchester and they ended up turning it into a hit. Many thanks.

Written in the 1980s when I was in my 20s. I'd always wanted to write the opposite of a love song and this is what I came up with. The vocal is from the 80s, everything else is new. Comments appreciated. It's a bit long ... sorry 😳 https://www.bandlab.com/post/270564f2-dac9-ef11-88cd-6045bd345b20

That's very very nice indeed. Way out of the spectrum of what I normally do so I'm not qualified to suggest anything, but keep on it, it'll be a great track.

Tongue in cheek little ditty here. Modelled the drums on "Neanderthal Man" by Hotlegs (early 70s hit probably only in UK). https://www.bandlab.com/revisions/6b121511-2bc5-ef11-88cd-6045bd345b20?sharedKey=ZsT0CeT6hUGy2Vx5D1vcHQ Comments welcome as always.

I'd be fascinated to know how you did that.

Thanks @Noel Borthwick

Hi @Wookiee and thanks for your reply. I don't even know what that is so I might have done so unwittingly. How would I check?

Hi all, Can someone enlighten me as to where Sonar gets the information in brackets after the filename please and if I can get rid of it? Many thanks.

Yes, it's an ear worm and no mistake.

This is absolutely not the kind of music that I'd normally listen to but I found it mesmerising. Great production and mix, great voice. I'd love to know how to create some of those "Seal"-esque sounds. You're just showing off now 😁 Fantastic job.

Hi all, In 1984, or thereabouts, an old school pal came to my house and I recorded him playing some of his songs with acoustic guitar. Those recordings were pretty much forgotten about until I rediscovered them a few days ago. This is one of those songs/recordings with a new backing by me. I think it's a great song, simple but extremely melodic and effective, plus a sterling vocal performance by my friend Jon on what was, essentially, a demo. Used with his permission. Edit: comments on the arrangement and production welcomed. https://www.bandlab.com/revisions/ecf27414-b49a-ef11-8474-6045bd375453?sharedKey=I8JjT4_N_02mgrZJcqvQtw

You had me worried there for a minute. I had to listen to it as I'd not heard it before 😳

Following on the the "flogging a dead horse" thread, this version of the song actions the suggestions that were made, including: dialling back the delay on the lead guitar to make it more prominent dialling back the delay on the lead vocal to make it more prominent added some subtle Rhodes twiddles to the guitar bit between verses re-recording new vocal parts here and there other minor tweaks Thanks again for all the suggestions. https://www.bandlab.com/revisions/e564eb92-278a-ef11-8474-6045bd375453?sharedKey=DbjBlrpCG0WrFaoOFsQFmQ

I have a healthy respect for @Bajan Blue and I read his comments with interest, but I have to say that I think that I find the mix OK. It's a quirky song to me and I think that the slightly out of the ordinary mix adds to that quirkiness. Hope that's in some way helpful.

But I hope you do. Early days on this one but I thought I'd share it in the hope that it raises a smile 🙂 https://www.bandlab.com/revisions/006bde87-9d88-ef11-8474-6045bd375453?sharedKey=soJRjKb7jU-nQRjIMwXOKQ

I detected Peter Gabriel era Genesis personally. Nice psychedelic vibe too.

Drums are just a VST and the guitar is an Epiphone LP through a Boss GT1 pedal. Simples 🙂

Wow, respect sir 🙂 I'll certainly have a go at that 👍

A very difficult act to follow but you certainly did it justice. Well done.
