Thanks for the crits Jack - I gave it another listen and agreed with you regarding tuning - it sounds like the acoustic guitar is a bit out of tune - so I laid down a new acoustic rhythm track to clean up the tuning issue - thanks for your ears. I think it sounds better now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Bush Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Hi Doug, I really liked the guitar tone and the harmonies did the trick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoyed it .. mark Thanks Mark - regarding the drums, it's AD2 and I have the BT Limiter (the one that came with Sonar) on the drum bus - I was just looking to add a bit more volume to it. I tweaked it until it sounded right to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornpdx Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Sounds good, Doug. Your songs always have the professional touch to them. -Bjorn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antler Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Hi Doug. Sounds good to me. I like the changes in sonic texture between the different song sections - how the prechorus opens up with the arpeggiated chords; and the crunchy chords in the chorus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Joad Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 (edited) Yeah, I like it a lot? I don't know if you care but I was listening through my big mixing machine and you could really boost up the volume if you wanted? here is a shot I took. You still have a lot of head room. Never mind one of my cords died, you are in the sweet spot..? Edited December 16, 2021 by Old Joad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey - thanks for showing me that - the mix levels looked like they were where they should be when I exported my stereo mix to mp3 - I'm not sure if that could be an issue with SoundClick.

David Sprouse Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 I listened on really cheap speakers and it sounded great. Vox was perhaps too loud. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABull Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Hey Douglas, another good demo of a good song -- really like the guitar tones on this and how the chorus melody/feel stands out from the verses. Good job on this -- well recorded -- Allan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddy j Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Very nice and well performed! The match between the vocal melodies and the guitar rhythms really set this song off well -- IMHO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
