kai roger johansen Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Great track Doug! Much live feel to it. Did You record all or is it a band? I got a little vibe of Heart Full Of Soul by the Yardbirds on the verses which is cool? Every instrument sits well in the mix and a great tasty strat. Rock on & good luck withyour album!? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for giving my song a listen. I'm just a one-man band, but thanks for saying that. I saw the Yardbirds live years ago - there was only one original member at that time? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hidden Symmetry Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Nice one Douglas, another driving tune, enjoyed that taste of Manzarek. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The organ is from UVI - their Retro Organ Suite - I've been quite happy with it since I purchased it. The preset I used on this song is called "Electric Church" - definitely a Manzarek tone.

DeeringAmps Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Doug I always kind of hesitate with the crits, because you have a definite "style" that just works; there's a "signature" to your productions. I will say that on the DT990's here the bass is just a bit loud to my ears (totally a "taste" thing). And the kick is a bit "undefined", I like a little "beater" (again "taste"), although during the solo I thought I heard a bit of beater. As always, a big fan, another good one! ?'s t 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding production, over the years I've really come to enjoy mixing my songs in Cakewalk- it might be my favorite part of the whole process.

Johnbee58 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Very enjoyable. The Doors-style organ is fantastic! Also, love your lead guitar work and vocal effects. ?John B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
