mark skinner Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Cool ! I Very much enjoyed it. Maybe the addition of an 60's old style keyboard track would be my only suggestion . mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bajan Blue Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Hi Doug - like the track, sounds good but re Jacks comments about the Bass, what bass are you using? I don't think it needs turning up, I think it's just a bit muddy, if that describes it! otherwise all good Nigel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Jack - I'll give the bass track another listen. I thought it sounded alright when I mixed this version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a good variety of tones to it. I'll give the bass in the mix another listen - I used Amplitude on the bass track - it has a decent number of bass amp sims in it.

bjornpdx Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Doug, I think you should make a video of you singing and playing the guitar. I really liked this phrase (at 0:51 - 1:07 and at 2:13 - 2:30) I thought it should be the main theme that the rest of the song returns to. Not asking for much. ? -Bjorn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to make the lyrics all about being an automaton. Edited May 24, 2021 by Douglas Kirby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn Wilson Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Douglas, you are on a roll! You are consistent in your approach, and your music always takes me to a better place. You have taught me to take another look at TH-U, and I appreciate that; it is one of the more versatile amp sims. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABull Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Oh yeah, like that smokey guitar opening -- very good demo of your song Douglas -- but put some vox harmonies on that sucka -- Allan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy j Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Another great sounding song from you! Allan might have a good idea with a bit of vocal harmonies or BGV's. Very nice indeed -- liked that lead break! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeringAmps Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 ?'s agree with Nigel, a little more definition on the bass. t On 5/22/2021 at 7:53 AM, Douglas Kirby said: went with a synth on this one I guess I missed that, tired ears? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
