DeeringAmps Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) Am I hearing a wah? Or some kind of modulation, heavy slow chorus? A little light on the kick on the Bose cans, and that's unusual. Overall more Kirby Kirbyness! Yikes, I'm having another "flashback"**, is this supposed to be Mary Contrary? Longest Day is playing now; wtf? I guess its one of those days; longest days? Cool, more Doug rockin' it. Vocal not as up front as Mary (so), again a little lite on the kick... Nice solo, and "call and response" licks! That low "day", don't take this wrong, I'd lobby against that if I'm behind the glass. ? t ** ✌️ hey it was 60's man Edited March 25, 2020 by DeeringAmps additional content 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornpdx Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Doug Nice intro - drums into guitars The bgv aaaahs worked really well mix sounds good except maybe at 0:57 and 2:00 - guitar panned too much? You certainly have that guitar solo down. Always look forward to hearing your latest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Kirby Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share Posted March 26, 2020 DeeringAmps - Sorry you had to listen to Mary Contrary again - I think it was because I heard something I didn't like in the song, so I uploaded another mix. Thank you very much for listening and your comments. I'll give the kick another listen. I like the low bgv that I sang for the hook - we can agree to differ in opinion there? By the way, I sang the lead vocal with an AKG P220 - it seems to work well for my voice. I think it's tonal character is similar to my Rode NT1-A. bjornpdx - Thanks for your comments and for listening. I like the aahs as well - I added them in recently - I thought they improved the song. I'll give another listen to the guitar panned on the right side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starise Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 This is a well crafted rock tune. Not only well crafted but mixed well too! I enjoyed the listen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyB01 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Good rocker, I find the lead guitar panned too far right in my cans and I might drop the BGVs just a touch if it were me but these things are very much personal taste. Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhonoBrainer Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 It's a killer tune and I think I've heard it before, did you post it earlier? Love your work but to be honest I'd call this one out for a bit of flat tuning somewhere in the rhythm guitar. Very specifically, :26. I know I've harped a bit on that before and jeeze I'd love to be wrong, 'cause I really really dig your stuff. I hope I'm not a broken record, and no one else complains, so I think I've probably just lost it. Oh well, had to go sometime!!! I think it's a totally great jam tune. It makes me want to walk through mud to go buy a concert t-shirt and an overpriced beer. cheers, -Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't hear the flat tuning you mentioned - I guess your ears are more finely tuned than mine. Regarding the song, this is the first time I've posted it. Anyway, thanks for lending your ears.

Hidden Symmetry Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Cool tune, reminds me of the airwaves growing up in Detroit- Kinks, Airplane, Seeds, Big Brother & Petty. Enjoyed it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookiee Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I liked it, it sound OK here could do with a little more presence on the kick but one must mix to ones own taste. Thanks for sharing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Kirby Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 Hidden Symmetry - Thanks for your comments - I appreciate it. Wookiee - Thanks for listening - I brought up the kick a bit in my latest remix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn Wilson Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Douglas, this is a terrific song! I'm going to listen to it a few more times to absorb it, but good writing. It has a great retro vibe and a lot of energy. All I noticed was that it was a bit bright in my speakers like it has a lot of upper mid range. But, it does support the vox, so not such a big deal. Keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynn - thank you very much for listening and for your comments. A bit bright - that's interesting - I used Ozone 9 on the master - I'll have to take another listen there.
