Starise Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 It looks as if we are pulling songs from the closet, here is another contribution. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Neat tune Star Man. I like it when synths sound like synths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPAK Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 (edited) I agree with Will regarding synths, it does have that Scottish/Gaelic feel (which you wanted)... (also had to smile at your comment and the title of this song ... wicked!) Edited January 14, 2019 by SPAK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daryl1968 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Hi Tim - I hope you are well sir. Love the melodies but I'm not sure about the synths - sorry. I think I would have preferred a mix of synths and more traditional instruments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhonoBrainer Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I like it, had a Corrs vibe in spots, which I like. Some don't. But the lead synth gets out of hand (louder) in spots. 2:22, the violin. I found it worked a little better when you had slightly more openness in the mix. There's just a couple of "kitchen sink" spots that left me wondering. Perhaps I'm too old. That said, the complexity generally is quite admirable, and dare I say cohesive! Well done this! -Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes maybe I went a bit overboard in some of this.I am not quite following your ideas completely here. Maybe you mean a larger mix of traditional instruments as opposed to just a few? @emeraldsoulTom, thanks for your comments. It's the only way we get better. I pulled this one out of the bin and should re visit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't keen on the lead synth sound and I would have preferred to hear a acoustic traditional instrument (mandolin for example) with the synth backing. I think the mix of the two would be nice.

Mánibranðr Studios Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Pretty neat arrangement, but it could use a bit of modal variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was attempting to give an old world feel to synths.I don't know if that's even possible ?. Thank you! @LadyFuzztail Good suggestion that maybe I take it into another key or something. It is very predictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie Jarvis Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I've been waiting for the Chieftains to get some synths? Well done! Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Kirby Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 The synthesizers were very interesting - I enjoyed this - nice job. To me the vibe of the song was uplifting and positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
