Douglas Kirby Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Hi Everybody, This is the fifth track on my new album, "A Gray Colored Sky". I mastered it with the Abbey Road TG Mastering Chain - a cool plug for the price. Any comments and critiques are welcome, and thanks for listening.

DeeringAmps Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 As some mentioned on Always The Same, definitely a Kinks vibe on this one. As to the mastering, its definitely "hot" on my system. Intro is a bit long for me (take that with a grain of salt), but I'm a "three minute" man myself; that being said you held my interest right to the end. A+ at least on this one.

Johnbee58 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 You're definitely on the Kinks/Rolling Stones groove. Nice vocal work on both lead and background and the overall production is superb. ?John B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Joad Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I love your vocal, the mix sounds dirty in a cool way.. hot little rocker.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrydf Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Yes - good vocal and good mix. I was wondering if the vocal needed a few db up on the backing, but you're right, as it is it keeps a heaviness. As Old Joad said - hot little rocker! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starise Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Douglas, I really enjoyed listening to this retro track. Has that old stones vibe to it right down to the guitars and vocals. Like it was made in a studio from that period. I mean that as a high compliment. I also use the Abbey Road TG mastering chain often. Does an exceptional job. Congrats on another track well done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daryl1968 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Nice one Douglas - I always love your backing vocals and this one doesn't disappoint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Kirby Posted November 14, 2019 Author Share Posted November 14, 2019 DeeringAmps - I'm glad you liked the song - thanks for listening. JohnBee58 - I"m glad you liked it - thanks for listening. I worked hard on the mix - I hope it's decent. Old Joad - Thanks for listening. I noticed you mentioned the mix was dirty - I used the Voxengo Voxformer on this one for the lead vocal - you can dial in some nice dirt for the lead vocal with it - it's a cool vocal plug. jerrydf - I'm glad you liked the song - thanks for listening. Starise - Yeah, the Abbey Road TG Mastering plug is impressive - I've been using Ozone Standard 9 for songs on this album, but I decided to give the Abbey Road a try on this one - I thought it worked out well. I used it on some of the tracks too. Thanks for the compliment on the mix sounding vintage - that's cool with me. daryl1968 - I try to sing decent BGVs - I figure it adds to the song's character.

Bob Oister Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Hey, Douglas, You've got a really cool, punchy classic rocker here!? Well written, performed and sung, the layered vocals are pure dynamite, and I really loved the guitar parts, especially the solo. The guitar tone was absolutely perfect for the style of the song, and the playing was super!? As the guys mentioned above, this definitely has the classic Stones vibe, and the mix is right on the money for the genre. Dynamite stuff, Douglas, keep 'em coming, buddy!? Have a good one!

amiller Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Cool tune. I’d back the rhythm guitar down a bit and brighten it up so that it still cuts...just my 2 cents. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
