Bajan Blue Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Hi Douglas - good track guitar work is great - perhaps could do with a little something on the vocals - have you got some reverb on them? Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeringAmps Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 More rockin' Kirby from Doug! Man, I'd mix it slightly different, but that's just a "season to taste" thing. I'm a fan. keep on rockin' in this covid world... t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Kirby Posted April 5, 2020 Author Share Posted April 5, 2020 Bajan Blue - Thanks for listening Nigel - perhaps I should add a bit more verb to the lead vocal - it does sound a bit up-front. DeeringAmps - Thanks Tom - I'm glad you liked the song. I'll do another remix but I think it sounds alright as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one of the tough questions when producing, are we after the Artist's style, or is the Artist after the producers style... t 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornpdx Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 I'm liking this one a lot, Doug. Not much to critique IMO, maybe could be EQ'd a bit brighter IDK. Really liked that lead in ~ 0:35. Something in there sounds like a 60s band to me but can't put my finger on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Kirby Posted April 7, 2020 Author Share Posted April 7, 2020 Lynn - I'm glad you liked it - thank you very much for listening. DeeringAmps - OK - I'll keep this mix up - good advise. bjornpdx - Thanks for your comment and for listening. By the way, the lead guitar on this one is a Fender Telecaster - I thought it fit the song. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Sprouse Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 (edited) your songs keep getting better. Really enjoyed this one. Edited April 11, 2020 by David Sprouse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhonoBrainer Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 you can friggin write a song. Love the arrangement choices. I'm pretty sure your rhythm guitars in the first part of the song are out just ahead the beat of the snare. The drums and bass seem locked, but you might check to see if those guitars are anticipating the drums just a tad. The lead guitar seems in the pocket, tho. excellent as usual! cheers, -Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyB01 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Great tone on the lead guitar, I'd like to drive that rhythm guitar just a bit harder but it's very personal thing, I also think a bit more reverb would lift the vocal a touch - great track though - another keeper.

Douglas Kirby Posted April 12, 2020 Author Share Posted April 12, 2020 David Sprouse - Thanks for the compliment - I appreciate it. emeraldsoul - Thank you very much for lending your ears to my tune - I laid down the rhythm guitar track with a loop to start off - then I built the drum track afterwards - maybe that's why you heard they were a bit forward regarding the snare in the first part of the song. freddy j - Thank you very much for listening. Andy BO1 - Thanks for your comments and critiques - I appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
