  1. Thanks Lynn, I did enjoy using the phrase "creature comforts" in different contexts and I left it just a little bit vague overall so as to try and get the listener to paint a mental picture of their own rather than spell out a specification, if that makes sense.
  2. Very nice indeed Mark. Well recorded and mixed. FWIW I can hear no sibilance issues.
  3. "Revisited" because I'm fairly sure I've posted about this track before but probably a couple of years ago. Comments appreciated. https://www.bandlab.com/post/ae368c96-07a2-ed11-994c-000d3a3f87df
  4. Hi Jesse, do you mean the solo starting at 2:02? That's from my 1990s vintage Yamaha SQ16 keyboard, "Hawaiian guitar".
  5. I can hear your pain in this, I'm so very sorry for your loss.

    The Garden

    Nothing to do with a garden but this is a song of mine, newly recorded, but from about 25 years ago. Partly based on what I was experiencing at the time and partly on a TV drama in the same period. Very stripped back arrangement but I think it's all it needs. My first dalliance with Melodyne's sibilance control. I don't use profanities lightly in a song, but this contains one because I think it is appropriately descriptive. Fully understand if an admin chooses to take it down as a consequence but we're all grown-ups here so I hope it's not a problem. Comments invited as always. https://www.bandlab.com/post/d38fa443-229e-ed11-994c-000d3a3f87df
  7. Hearing an ace production like this makes me realise how ill-qualified I am to comment on it. Very nice job indeed, well done ?
  8. I concur ... and it made me chuckle ?

    El Guerrero

    Very nice indeed, well done ?
  10. I too can hear the bass and the kick ... but only just. Great rock song and cool guitar sound though ?
  11. I didn't even know that Melodyne did this, I have much to learn. Thank you.
  12. I usually have buses for my lead vocals and backing vocals. Where best to put a de-essing plug-in, on each individual vocal track or is it possible to de-ess an entire bus to achieve the same effect? Many thanks.
  13. It's a "quiet" kit at the start and I couldn't find a way of including two instances of EZD without crashing CbB so I opted for AD for the "loud" kit. Of course, this is potentially now all up in the air as I consider all of these useful comments so far ?
  14. I'm using the EZ Drummer 3 "tight/small" room kit for the first bit (going for the Paul Simon "Fifty Ways" sound) and Addictive Drums 2 for the second bit.
  15. Thanks Tom ? You know, I was just thinking the same thing about the lyrics and maybe that's what's stopping me from liking it unreservedly. They don't make an awful lot of sense for a start but I've had the song in my head for so long ... I'll put me thinking cap on.
  16. That's food for thought Paul, thank you. I'd be interested to know what you don't like about the drums - do you mean when the "loud" drums come in?
  17. Thank Jesse. It's by no means finished mix-wise, I just need to convince myself (or not) that it's worth finishing.
  18. I didn't mean to suggest that you did, it just reminded me of him, which is good ?
  19. Probably impossible to answer but I've been messing about with this for a while now and I just can't seem to make it fly. Don't hold back, if you think it sucks then tell me - I don't want to be flogging a dead horse! https://www.bandlab.com/post/fb31277a-068d-ed11-9d7a-000d3a3eed2a
  20. "Tesco's wheelie bins" did I hear? Like it. Some timing issues but those guitar sounds are really nice. Look forward to the finished product.
  21. First Jack and now this. Avant Garde overload ? It's not my cup of tea but I can see why people would like it, and it certainly beats listening to Shouty Capaldi on Radio Two ?
  22. Quite Avant Garde I thought and the vocal reminded me of David Byrne. Enjoyed it ?
  23. Oops, I'd forgotten I'd done that Mark. Thanks for the tip though, I think it makes a big difference ?
