Douglas Kirby Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Hi Eveybody, 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 Senheisser MK 4 - a mic I pickup up recently - used for a decent price. Very cool mic - I like it a lot. Also, I used my ART MPA Gold preamp as well. The lead guitar parts were played with my Fender Strat through TH-U. The bass is an Ibanez SR500. The drums are AD2. As always, any comments and critiques are welcome, and thanks for listening. Here it is: https://www.soundclick.com/music/songInfo.cfm?songID=14142038 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSband Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 It sounds pretty good. It has a 60's vibe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornpdx Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Doug Just excellent guitar, the arrangement and playing. Your voc sounded a little different to me, maybe because of your new mic? Sounds really good. I noticed the free download icon on your site which makes me shake my head. So many musicians like you make better music than what's currently popular but never get heard beyond forums like this. Hope I'm wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noynekker Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Great work Douglas ! Nicely mixed, very relaxed vocal, and yes, those guitars are stars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark skinner Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Douglas , Great song and a classic vintage vibe. I thought the vocals and treatment was fantastic. It felt like I set the needle down on a favorite classic LP. Enjoyed it very much .. mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynn Wilson Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Douglas, this is a terrific song and production. You've captured the sound and feel of an era of music that is sorely missed. Thanks for providing the details of your recording, as it shows what can be done in the box with CW. Keep it up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred's Gratis Scores Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I loved the sound and mix - it has the sound of a favorite record. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noynekker Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Hi Douglas . . . had another listen or two on a Friday night to this one, and it really is something special. It has a great old analog warmth in the recording. The guitar playing is simply masterful. The vocal is no slouch either. I hope you know how good this is . . . so, I'll tell you. It's good. Hope you get the recognition you deserve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the Seinheisser MK4 is smooth with detail - I like it a lot. Also, thanks for your kind comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
