Chaps Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Pretty cool. Nice separation between the instruments and everything was clean and clear. Very nice bass sound. Present but not obtrusive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddy j Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 This is a bit of your softer side. It really is a beautiful song. Of course your performance (particularly the vox and harmonies), writing/arrangement and mix are outstanding. Ya, I'm a fan!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark skinner Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Again .. Fantastic. Your acoustic talents and vocals make me want to hear more like this. This shure wasn't your basic strumming . A bigger fan now.. mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookiee Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Nice stuff @batsbrew, hints of Led Zeppelin acoustic sound. What was even weirder was what followed it, yes Bat's you were on it but not one of yours originally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starise Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Your music clearly takes me to good places. These acoustic arrangements fill out the sonic space well and don't need anything else. The vocal parts are blended to perfection. This showcases your most excellent guitar playing where it is exposed the most. Those guitars are sweeeet!

Present but not obtrusive. hey java! thanks for the critique on the mix, this one would seem to be easy to mix on the surface of it all, but blending the 4 guitar parts required some eq carving, as to not get freq masking. took some trial and error passes before it seemed to be right. the bass was probably the hardest to decide on. it's funny, but on any given day......

Douglas Kirby Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 A very pleasant song to listen to - the acoustic guitars sounded excellent - I've read good reviews about that Shure KSM44. Nice job on the vocal and bgvs. Great job - good song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bigger fan now.. mark hey mark! glad your diggin' this one.... def not a 'strummer', tho i'm not sure exactly what inspired this particular approach. probably something like old dan fogelburg, or eagles, or sumptin' i have some older material off of previous albums that is in this style... probably not enough to put together for an entire album of mellow stuff, but i've been thinking about doing just that.
