Douglas Kirby Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Hi Everybody, This is a track off of my new album "A Gray Colored Sky". I mixed it in Cakewalk by BandLab and mastered it with Ozone 9. The lead guitar tracks are the first time I've used my new Telecaster (I bought it used). Thanks for listening and all comments and critiques are welcome.

DeeringAmps Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 I’m hearing a little Stones on this one, but I’ve said in the past I think Doug is Doug. Sounds like you’re enjoying that tele! I do think you need to check your timing on the outro though, that one guitar is just a bit late (early?) sounds “off” to me. Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABull Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Hey Doug, yeah, a cool 60s feel on this -- if you revisit the mix, perhaps take a listen to the eq -- some warmth could be added to the mix. ~~Allan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

congalocke Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 The vocals made me think instantly of Tom Petty. Nice job on song construction and it sounds like you're having fun on that telecaster... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makke Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Cool! I got an imagination journey back to my youth at listening to this song. A nice sixties pop rock . Sounds great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martsave martin s Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 i like the electric guitar sound on left-speaker on the "bridge or pre-chorus") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn Wilson Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Douglas, this is another strong song from you. It really has that 60's vibe in both the style and production of this song. I wonder how this would sound if you uploaded a 16/44.1 track rather than an MP3. SoundClick will take a CD quality mix now, but even a higher sampling rate for the MP3 might let us know how you hear it better. Personally, I don't think it needs much attention because you've already done the hard part, keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Kirby Posted December 11, 2019 Author Share Posted December 11, 2019 martsave martin s - Thanks for giving my song a listen. That lead guitar on the bridge is my Telecaster through THU - I think THU is a really cool guitar plug. I used to use PodFarm - but THU blows it away. Lynn - I use iTunes for the conversion from wav file to mp3 - I'm going to see if I can use something different for better quality. Like you said, SoundClick takes CD quality mixes now - perhaps it's time for a change. I'm glad you liked the song - cheers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jude77 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Man, you are channeling Ray Davies here, with a dose of the Beau Brummels. I really like the way you handle the vocals. Great playing as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
