Description : I re-recorded the vocals and added in the live accordion track from a lovely little lady called Honey Gunn Carr.
This song comes from knowing you've parted ways, but not knowing why.
For a change of pace, I used the acoustic guitar. I appreciate all comments. Johnny Mac laid down the drums for this one.

This is a really fun tune, Couldnt help but nod my head side to side..Very relaxing..reminds me a bit of eric claptons work..but of course without the raspy "I've had a soar throat for years voice" lol
Eric Clapton's "sore throat for years"... LOL!
I FEEL like I have a sore throat when I sing. Singing's really difficult for me. It makes me physically uncomfortable HENCE I don't sing much.
And yeah, I've toyed with vocal training, but it's STILL not natural to me.
This is a song I could easily hear on the radion, nice production. You vocals are great on this one. The accordian was cool, don't hear a lot of that here and it adds a nice hometown feel to it. Faved!!
Good job..Id thought will check your song..Like this one best..nice and layed back..You have a great sound to your voice...keep em comming ;) God Bless
sup man. your songs are very professional. i like that. in terms of sound quality and overal feel 10/10. onto to the singing great as well. very real. 10/10. awesome production man
Your vox sound great as does the whole track. I'm gonna listen to it again when I have my headphones. Sounds clean to me. This track has a nice flow to it as well. I like! Good work.
I appreciate your review & I'm glad you like the track.
I record with a presonus firepod interface into Cubase LE. I use a few plug-in compressors to even out the vocal level.
This is a very strong song! Unlike some of the others who have reviewed, I'm not a big fan of overdubbing vocals, that's just me though. I agree this might sound better with out picking the bass. The mix sounds really nice though! Just listening to some of your stuff to hear how we could colab.
agree with Coney (minus the cowbell lol -- but that is just me- it would fit the texture) and bcway , but I hear you in there!
soo nice!
Definitely play the bass with the pointer and middle finger!
no pick
in fact, if you have a stand-up bass you should use that lol
(wishful thinking-- right? I have been listening to a lot of MUTEMATH so that may be why)
sounds are definitely defined and in the mix
drums are layered in a fantastic fashion, great job with the mic placement!
Hmn... What is that... It's like.. I want... http://www.massenburg.com/cgi-bin/ml/vocal_overdubbing.html?id=xffYSfdQ
vocal overdubs
but then cut volumes as accordingly
i would think that mono would be the best bet (which I am sure you are aware of- so you don't have anything phasing out in the stereo spectrum)
I mean-- I like your overdubs you have!
but - if you were to do multiple takes (identically) of the same vocal -- you would perhaps get a full round sound?
Like those big production techniques
fer example, I knew a guy that worked in a studio with Alice in Chains, and Layne Stayley actually had 40 tracks of overdubs JUST for his vocals -- CAN YOU IMAGINE?!?!
I know that Butch Vig, when he produced Nirvana's Nevermind; he had to convince Kurt Cobain to do overdubbing for a more shiny sound, by telling kurt John Lennon swoooore by vocal overdubs
I dunno,
It's a fantastic beautiful piece of work.
I would love to stare at the waveform
First, I appreciate passing on the link to the Massenburg site & the stories. I love true stories about recording!
So are you politely suggesting I redo the vocals?
Or are you saying I should double track the lead vocal for a thicker sound?
I know you def want me to redo the bass track without a pick. I realized today I still need to master this little track, too.
Second, I greatly appreciate the depth you put into the review. This helps me improve.
Thanks a million!
this is a really good track! the songwriting is fantastic, i agree with the reviews before me, you are really talented, and you have a some good potential to go pro. i wish you the best of luck!
Hey there. There is great character in your vocals. I've played professionally with many vocalists. Since they had to sing for 3 hours a night ( not steady, there were breaks ), anywhere from 3 to 6 nights a week, they had developed a vocal strength - ie singing from the diaphram to help them last and still be able to talk the next day. I fear that if you did this, it may modify your singing style *** you must not change your style !!!!!
Tsk ! Who played base ? Did they use a pick - I'm sure I could hear a pick, [sigh], I am not a fan of the base pick. I know I know I'm mister picky ( pun intended ) Now, more that ever, I must pick up some hardware so I can plug in my base to lay done tracks and loops, proper like - I would love to add a base line to your tune - which I fav'd. You are a songwriter and it would not be a great leap for you to go pro - your tons better that the drek that is spoon fed us by those so call DJ's or VJ's.

Description : This is my newest creation, at a stage very near to completion. No third-party mastering or mixing, as with all my tracks. Just have to fix a few tiny things. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO MIX EVERYTHING IN THE SAME SESSION. This song has all human-played instruments - no quantization or MIDI! My brother does all the vocals except for the interlude part, which I do. My other brother plays the rhythm guitar (a Gibson Les Paul Custom - only one of 12 in the world!!) and I play the accompanying guitar (a Johnny Mar Jag and PRS). He has a lot of guitars :P A good friend of ours, Ronnie, plays the bass and another friend, Freddie, plays the drums. The drum track was done in one take (had to use an electric drum set due to time constraints - but acoustic kits are so much better). Overall, pretty satisfied with the result. Let me know your thoughts.
Description : Feel free to check out the lyrics video on YT as well :) This is a new track based on the great vocals by Ashes and Dreams! Again, a mix of electronic/progressive/rock, any feedback is welcome
Description : The first track I sing on. Cheap stage mic & no fancy plugins. Heavily guitar laden to the point it's got a bit of a shoegaze thing going on. I pulled the lyrics out of my ass & yes, they're a bit silly.
Description : BIG UPDATE 26/02/2014 - So, this was an 18 min track that I have now successfully split in two. 2nd half I uploaded a few weeks ago (Things That Should Always Be, with the bouncy 2 min reggae intro). This is the first half, which has a new mix, a mega chill, meditative ending and a little jazz thrown in for good measure. Takes a few minutes for beat to really kick in. Constantly evolving electric guitar, bass guitar, acoustic drums and lead banjo driven by fat, busy 80BPM grooves with a bit of a reggae and shuffle feel. Also: synth choir voices, dulcimer, violin, cello, shimmering pads. Builds up gradually to nice and rocking and then gets taken back down for the big comedown chill. I really don't know what sort of genre this is except 'far out'. I think it sounds more like a live band than one guy playing instruments and manipulating a DAW. Not my best track but a bit of blissful, sunny island fun. Real positive vibe here so I hope you give it a chance to unfold and unfurl. Sit back, clear your schedule and immerse yourself in these trippy sonic experiments cooked up deep in my off-planet underground laboratory. I have to send the MP3 to Earth via space courier (not cheap).
Description : This is the 2nd cover of Big Audio Dynamite i done With my freind John. We both fan of the band so we decided to do a challenge and produce a serie of covers. we done 4 in one month. each track got it proper video check my youtube channel indiegroundvid

Nice to hear a real songwriter. I think you got hella talent! Graet stuff as usual!
Just for fun you should out some cow bell in the end! I think it would sound pretty good in there. Or even some type of flute part.
