Bottle What We Got 2

[Clint Swank]

First thing I've recorded since Sonar died (and I almost did). Turns out THIS is the remix.  Soundcloud is weird sometimes.

Sounds great, very funky groove.  I like the subtle organ part. 
Can I ask what you used for the organ?

[Clint Swank]

There are actually three instruments : Native Instruments organ and clavinet and IK hammond bx3. The bX three is the most prominent, NI organ is an octave lower, and the clavinet is a sneaky way of giving the organs a little more bite. Thanks for listening and the compliments. If you'd like to hear more, here's the link:

I like it, it's got stank and swagger! Kudos on the songwriting chops. The mix has a lot of thoughtful panning, very cool. Lead guitar part in the middle has a killer tone!

The mix has some pretty high-eq bias, lots of sparkle and sizzle up there on vocals and hi-hats, which is nice and clean, but it might do with a little more high eq rolloff on those, just a hair ought to tame the occasional spitiness up top. Wouldn't want to take the upper clarity away.

loved this one, thanks for the share!

cheers,

Thank you, Tom.

Basically it sound OK but as Tom notes it has very little bottom.

IK Hammond Bx 3, Native instruments organ(same part,an octave lower)  and NI clavinet, adds a  little edge.

Btw I used to watch  the Sons in Golden Gate Park back in the day.  Yeah THAT day. Way back in thee day.

It's said that "A work is never finished but abandoned." Nevertheless, I'm gonna go back and tamp down those highs a little, keeping in mind these 74 year old ears and their  lust for treble. I'll post the results here. Thanks for the advice and the compliments, folks.

I love it!  Funky is always good.

If you are asking for crtis, it sounds like you are holding back a bit on the vocals, like you are afraid someone will hear you, but that is just me, I just finished listening to some punk rock.

Write some more!

[Clint Swank]

Yeah, well, I'm 74, and I haven't been singing for a while. Vocal is first take.
