The Longest Day


Douglas Kirby

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

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

Hi Tom - thanks for comments and for listening. 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.

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.

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.
