Douglas Kirby Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 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: https://www.soundclick.com/music/songInfo.cfm?songID=14125122 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Sprouse Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Your stuff just gets better and better, your style is inimitable. What can I say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bapu Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I like this just like all your other stuff. Personal taste observation: Just a bit too much verb on the drums. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornpdx Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bajan Blue Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 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 Nigel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennywtelejazz Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 (edited) 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 Edited November 12, 2020 by kennywtelejazz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
