Johnbee58 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Don't understand how this turned out 5 minutes. Made with the usual thingies. Enjoy! https://www.soundclick.com/music/songInfo.cfm?songID=14494873 ?John B. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeringAmps Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Lots of elements here that I really like John. The meter is a little tough for me to follow; but its your song, your production. I dropped a "like" here, and at SoundClick. Held my interest, no doubt about that! t 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bajan Blue Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Some very nice elements in this - perhaps just a little long?? But as tom says, your song, your production Cheers Nigel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnbee58 Posted September 26, 2022 Author Share Posted September 26, 2022 @DeeringAmpsThanks, Tom. How could I have improved the meter? @Bajan BlueThanks Nigel. As I said, I don't understand myself how it got so long. It's first verse, pre chorus, chorus, 2nd verse, pre chorus, chorus, bridge, the final chorus. ?John B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markno999 Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 John, Cool song. The drums seem like they are pulling back on the song, I might look at a half-time shuffle to propel the song forward while not distracting from what is there. I think it would work with your current bass line as well. Listen to a song like Home Again by Steely Dan as a reference for this idea. If you have the Toontrack Custom and Vintage kit, check out Grooves ‘Swing 4/4 > Song 3 > 120bpm’ Some great fill ideas and cymbal variations in there as well. Regards 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Thanks, @markno999 You're right about those drums. It does sound like something is, as you say, "pulling" them off. It is an Eighties Pop pattern run at half speed and I was taking notice that some spots didn't seem to want to "fall into place" very easy.. I have the Toontrack Shuffle kit for keyboard but not the drums but I will take your suggestion and look into the Custom and Vintage kit. Is that an EZX kit or a MIDI pack? Thanks again! ?JB Edited September 27, 2022 by Johnbee58 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnbee58 Posted September 29, 2022 Author Share Posted September 29, 2022 (edited) I also want to thank @Riff Richards, @Lynn Wilson, @The DuoBros, @Dream Art Scientists, & @DeeringAmps for their "heart". Thanks for taking the time to listen. ?John B Edited September 29, 2022 by Johnbee58 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
