Barry Seymour Posted January 31 Posted January 31 (edited) Here's a new one. I had a lot of help, so I'm hoping it doesn't need much... UPDATED Feb 02 2025. Edited February 7 by Barry Seymour 5
garybrun Posted February 2 Posted February 2 Very nice Barry. I really like your vocals and how you have brought them forward. Story line is good too. We all paint different pictures... but for me the snare is very monotonous with the same tone all the time. 1
whoisp Posted February 2 Posted February 2 Beautiful acoustic, built in bridge mic or couple freestanding mics, vocal great to. Only one suggestion and its a big one: 100% learn to program those drums, i would hit he odd crash or ride and some basic fills, maybe something like a double tap on the kick when the progression changes. Apart from that great tune P 2

DeeringAmps Posted February 4 Posted February 4 Nicely done Barry. Do agree with @whoisp the drum track needs some work. Will hold the like for the final mix t 1 1
noynekker Posted February 4 Posted February 4 Great stuff Barry ! The vocal, lyric and the acoustic guitar are magical to listen to. You've really captured the right intonation and range for your vocal in this recording. Others have mentioned the drums . . . though, the song is not about drums. Even so, if you made the drums splash along with the arrangement some more, an exceptional song would be made better . . . just a fan's opinion. I'll go leave my like on SC. 1
Bajan Blue Posted February 4 Posted February 4 Hi Barry Good track - do agree with the various drums comments Vocals are great Nigel
mark skinner Posted February 4 Posted February 4 Great vocals Barry ! Very cool lyrics and Really Nice guitars. I heard a single guitar/vocal song the other day and immediately liked it. Realized afterwards he sounded like you but not as refined. Enjoyed it .. mark 1
Guest Posted February 4 Posted February 4 Lovely guitar and vocal - great storyline too. Agree on the drums - have you had a listen to it without them? Just a thought... 🤔 Enjoyed it. Andy
treesha Posted February 4 Posted February 4 Enjoyed it. Sentimental. Like traditional story telling song with fuller instrumentation. I like that your pleasing voice is so prominent and easy to understand as the words are meaningful and the theme universal. Nice choices, works well. Since the drums are plain I'm guessing this version isn’t with revised drums.
SUPAREELS Posted February 5 Posted February 5 Bloody great song .. godda agree with Gary about the snare ... But where are the lyrics ! I am a lyrics kinda guy ... as well you know ... Love this stuff ..keep it going !! All the best Steve ( SRM )
SteenE Posted February 5 Posted February 5 A me too on the drums. Otherwise great arrangement and sound
Barry Seymour Posted February 7 Author Posted February 7 I spent some time on the drums. Added some fills and dynamics, plus I experimented with the "no drums" suggestion and decided it would be good to hold them off until the second verse. What do you all think? 2
garybrun Posted February 7 Posted February 7 Very nice Barry. As I said before I love the vocal. I prefer this new version... well done. We all paint different pictures.. I wouldnt be afraid to bring the kick up and knock a little top end of the snare.. 2
Jesse Screed Posted February 7 Posted February 7 A great story, well played and sung. The lyrics are very nice. I like it. The drums are ok for me except the timing seems off just a hair, but I have a cold right now so that could be why. 1

That's my, er, analog sound, striving for authenticity, yeah, that's it, that's the ticket... 😉 1

I think the point I was trying to make is that the drums are out of sync with your playing. Your playing is in time as far as I can tell. You could try to nudge the drum tracks to see if that makes any difference, especially if you programmed them in clips. As I said though, I have a cold and it could just be my hearing.
