Going Down

[Douglas Kirby]

Hi Everybody,

This is a track off of the album I'm currently working on called "The Westerly Sessions Vol. IV".  The lead vocal was sung with a Studio Projects C1 through a Warm Audio TB12 mic preamp. The lead guitar parts were played with my Les Paul through TH-U.  The drums are Addictive Drums 2. As always, any comments and critiques are welcome, and thanks for listening.

Here it is:

Your stuff just gets better and better, your style is inimitable.  What can I say.

[Bapu]

I like this just like all your other stuff.

Personal taste observation: Just a bit too much verb on the drums.

Doug,  once again I'm in awe of your guitar musicianship, song writing/arranging skills and also your prolific output. I'm thinking about all the work it takes from getting an idea then writing lyrics, chord progressions, etc etc, all of which you seem to have down with max efficiency.

[Paul Bush]

Yep yep yep , I just loved the Wah Wah.... y`cant beat a Wah Wah in my book, what vst effect did you use ? the  riff was just great never got monontunous and drove the song along nicely  ........great

Thanks Ed - I'll give the drums and reverb another listen.

Thanks Paul - the guitar vst I used was Overloud's TH-U - I've been pretty happy with it since I purchased it a couple of years ago - the variety of tones is quite impressive in my opinion.

Thanks for the kind words Bjorn. I enjoy writing songs, but I also enjoy mixing them in Cakewalk - so it's a bit of fun for me all around.

Hi Douglas

Love the guitar - good playing indeed

Like the track, agree perhaps a little too much reverb on the drums / cymbals, not much though

Cool stuff

I'm feeling a bit of "professional jealousy" here.
You bang 'em out man, its killin' me!
between you and @freddy j, I feel useless and weak.....

[daryl1968]

Loving that guitar Doug. 

Drums could come up in the mix for me mate. They get a bit lost. 

[Kevin Walsh]

Yeah, man! Riff rock! You always do such great stuff. Like all your other works, this one is my favorite.  

PS: I'm gonna steal some of your licks. Just saying.

Hey guys - thanks for giving my song a listen.

[kennywtelejazz]

Hi Douglas ,

I think this may be one of the first times I have listened to one of your tunes . I felt this song was a good listen .

I 'm a guitar player so you know I'm gonna dig some nice riff style rock that features a cool sounding guitar that kicks it into overdrive .

Yeah I also Love me some Wah Wah .

Overall I liked the sounds and structure of your tune . 

As far as crits go ...generally I don't go there until  I know a person  for a while  ...not that I have any  thing  to offer at in that department this moment,It's all good for now .

all the best,

 

Kenny
