Good one overall ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB01 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Sweet guitar tones and great use of silence (something that is definitely underrated). Really nice composition, I enjoyed the listen. Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffdrawscomics Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 I love the clean guitar tone and the harmonica. (Is the harmonica a vst, or is it recorded?) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks jeff. The harmonica was played live by me on a single track, which I then auxiliary tracked and then EQ'ed both tracks and panned each to create as clear and wide a sound for as I thought was needed ????

FreeEarCandy Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Tasty guitar work, Larry. And all the other elements, though seemingly sparse, were well thought out and really spiced it up nicely. Like oregano, you don't want to add too much and drown out the taste of that lovely guitar work. The pauses added a little tension suspense too. Well done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grem Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Nice listen. As others have said nice clean guitar tone. Harmonica came a pleasant surprise! Was not expecting that. All in all we'll done. We'll written too. Was that real drums? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was not expecting that. All in all we'll done. We'll written too. Was that real drums? Thanks Grem. The drums are an SI Drum loop in CbB. I loaded it in and then edited the MIDI notes in Piano Roll so it would fit the song ???? Edited March 2, 2023 by Larry T. clarity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that I've finally developed my listening on how to hear and kind of what to do to create a semi-decent mix. They aren't professional quality like yours and a few of the other artists here, but they are better than the ones I did a year ago. Cheers???? Edited March 11, 2023 by Larry T.
