steve@baselines.com Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 An original tune, updated for 2025. I used a bunch of my UAD goodies. I'm seriously considering getting FabFilter Pro Q 4, looks incredible. Any one have any feedback on that? https://baselines.com/?p=7393 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Seymour Posted Monday at 05:35 AM Share Posted Monday at 05:35 AM This is charming. It's a bit like XTC meets Steely Dan. Chord changes that are intriguing, weird in places, yet it works. I feel like the percussion hits a little too hard without any sense of flow to smooth it out. It kinds of clomps along to my ears. Maybe that's by design, I dunno, but it struck me. (No pun intended.) I wanted to jump into a lyrical analysis, but this is a recording site, not a songwriting site. That said, the production is stellar. The mix blends so well, everything works. The drums are my only thought. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve@baselines.com Posted Monday at 01:57 PM Author Share Posted Monday at 01:57 PM Thank you for the great comment! About the drums, I agree I struggled with them. I kept taking little pieces out throughout the process. I want to try to make drums interesting where I can, I probably still overdid it! The original lyric was 'the sky' but it was too tempting to turn it into 'this guy'. 🙂 Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPAREELS Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago Hi Steve, Great bit'o'work I enjoyed this one a lot. Got to agree the drum track could do with a little help ... have you tried UAD's channel strip ( LA-6176 ) ? there's so many plugs in the world of music it's so hard to get something that does the trick ... you work is so good I feel that I'm teaching you to suck eggs, so forgive the observation. Ozone 10 is a great all rounder . anyway thanks for the post great stuff! Steve(SRM) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At $299, it's not a bad price (compared to those > $1000 pieces I will never own!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bajan Blue Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago Hi Steve Like this track as well. Out of interest, what are you using for Drums? Cool Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morenoize Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago Hi Steve, you obviously put a lot of work in this, well done. Would have liked a guitar solo in the outro, very nice guitar work in this. Rik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
