daryl1968 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) Hi Folks Here's a track that a very talented friend of mine, Tom Passamonte wrote and recorded at my (small but perfectly formed) studio. He is singing and playing all the guitars, I am on backing vocals, bass, drums etc. I cannot take any credit for the song but he left the production to me.

Lynn Wilson Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Daryl, you've done a terrific job with this. It helps to have a good song, yet, you've made it better. This is polished, balanced, and ready for the masses. Keep up the good work, mate! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Screed Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 D 68, song is arranged nicely. Very clear recording. Your buddy Tom has a nice voice, did you tweak it with melo d at all? Love the lyrics. The bass sits nice. Are you inputing through anything other than the RME? The middle at 1:50 is sweet, takes talent to make those middles mesh. The guitar tone on the solo is to die for, I sure would be curios as to what the order of devices was on that, or is that an ancient druid secre? Yes, nice 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPAK Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Wo Ow great song indeed ...one thing, for my ears the rhythm guitar could be brought up in the mix then brought down and widened for the lead to come in .. but that 'Harrison' type lead made be go cold, (Wish I could play like that) .....this is the type of track I listen too whenever I find it and if it goes on an album I'll be very tempted to buy this ...anyway top marks ... sounds like you really enjoyed this one !

Hidden Symmetry Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 This song sounds familiar, enjoyed it. It's well written, arranged, performed. Listening on laptop but everything sounds clear & balanced. As Lynn said I'd get it ready to release & /or publish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennywtelejazz Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Very nice production you did here with your collab mate Daryl... I noticed right off the bat that as each new moment unfolded during the songs play , the intensity of the song and performances got stronger ... One could say the tune burns in a Slow Cooker sort of way . all the best, Kenny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grem Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 (edited) Nice song. Love the solo guitar tone. His vocals are good too. Pleasant tone. Mix was good too. Nice fine production. And your bkup voc was spot on!! Really took the song up a notch when they came in. Your voices sound good together.

bjornpdx Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 daryl I like the song a lot - the guy singing is incredible. I'm impressed with the vocal track which I assume you did some work on? If so, would you work on mine next? Just kidding, but it does convince me to learn more about mixing vocals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhonoBrainer Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Something tells me his original vocal recording chain wasn't particularly stellar, but you have brought it forward and shined it up nicely. It's a great vocal performance and a decent song as well. Mixed like the champ that you are. Well done. -Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a teeny bit of Mel o'dyne on this one - not like my own vocals that require a truck load. The bass has some slight distortion on it and compressed. The guitar was mic'd through a little vox speaker (old school) and then a unicorn cast a mixing spell on me so I don't remember the rest.

Steve Thanks Steve - I also wondered about the acoustic. Tom can certainly play and sing - his band plays out three times a week EVERY week 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
