Dennis G "Destinations Unknown"

Hi I used the 808 drum track on this one. I recorded the Drum track on an old TEAC Reel to Reel then digitized it back onto the DAW. Everything else is standard Sonar tracking. Thanks for listening!

This probably brings back lots of memories for you. The song itself is really nice.  The breaking up sound is a bit much for me personally. If the sound  itself is baked in I might try some EQ work on the guitar track, but that's me and maybe you like the effect. 

Thanks for sharing!

I really like the song, which has a vibe I can get into. Reminded me a bit of that excellent New Wave-ish art band "the Blue Nile".

I'd agree though that sonically that guitar is hitting the inputs of your audio interface way too hard and is being decimated before you even begin.  What are you using as an interface? If this excellent tune is an example of your cool, laid back songwriting, I'd say it deserves better sonics, more open air up top in the mix.

Thanks for sharing that, and I hope to hear more of your stuff!

cheers,

-Tom

Oh yeah - I liked that 808 - that sounded cool. Regarding the song- I enjoyed the song and mix - nice job.

Very nice. Loved the guitar chords, I used to do almost everything  Maj7 sounding . I thought the bass parts were excellent. As Emeraldsoul said  , it really needs more of an airy clean sound to bring out the guitars and bass.  When you get time check out "Raum" free reverb plugin. It can easily be overused , but it's super airy . A lot could be done with just eq.  Keep em coming ..   mark

First of all, Welcome to the forum Dennis.
I'm going to echo all the comments above, lots of good advice there.
You have a "solid" foundation in the tune. Technically, its a bit "rough".
Lather, rinse, repeat; meaning record, record, record, you'll get there.

Thanks All. I've taken note of your comments and remixed the track! Let me know what you think if you have time. Regards  Dennis G

I cant explain why ,but I like it ,its got that indie off grid technicolour sound  maybe the cover photo influenced me  , it sounds like a soundtrack from  a independant film  cheers

This is very good. It just sounds like a traveling kind of song.
Nice chord changes. Fit well with the song but they got a  bit repetitive maybe?
Voc started strong but seemed to get buried about 1/2 way thru.
Just my opinion that's all.
Great song. I enjoyed it.

This must be the remix as I am not hearing the crits raised above, pleasant easy listening, possible even good to drive to as it has the same relentless drum track.

[Bajan Blue]

I Like this Dennis - good track and good enjoyable listen 

Cool
