doncolga Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Hi everyone, This is my first song post here on the new forums, and a very long time since my last song post on the old forums. Very cool to be back. I wrote this back in 1992. Here goes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daryl1968 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Hi Donny. Solid song and performances. Everything is clean and clear in the mix however the piano is drowning the vocal. It sounds to me that you're not confident in the vocal but you have a really nice voice - bring it forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doncolga Posted January 20, 2019 Author Share Posted January 20, 2019 Thanks for the listen and comments. Lol that is super perceptive of you. I haven’t really tracked vocals in years, so indeed, I felt a little shaky doing that. I may do them again. I’ll try that adjustment on piano. I had put more effect on it and turned it up slightly for this version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Kirby Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I agree with Daryl about the vocal being drowned out a bit by the piano. Catchy tune - I liked it - nice job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIBI Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) I tried to dig it from source code of this page and found URL. But it was already invalid. (https://www.reverbnation.com/donnyocollins/song/30422345-cant-get-up-1992) This URL will be ok.https://www.reverbnation.com/donnyocollins/song/30440808-cant-get-up-1992 Maybe he did reupload or something, I guess...

PhonoBrainer Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 nice tune, agreed on piano down a little, vocals up. Maybe a "C" section or a bridge. I dunno. It's a bopper with a nice vocal. cheers, -Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckebaby Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 The thing that impressed me most was this had to have been done using Tape. So there's no.. "Let me go back and fix this one part". (well sure we had "Punch in" but not like today when we needle everything to death by editing and editing. So even though I wasn't that impressed with the song, I can step back and take it for what it is.. A song recorded in the raw elements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
