Welcome To Nashville - Randall822

Thank you very much Terry!

Hello there Heavensent65. Glad you enjoyed the tune. Go ahead and add to it if you want to. Send me a copy when done. Thanks, Randall

Hi there CJ,
Thanks for wanting to use this song I put together with the help of loops I bought some time ago. You can use it for your purposes you described. I haven't made any new songs in quite awhile, but hope to get back to doing so in a few months.
Randy

Thanks a lot Rich_S for your comment. I'll make more!

Hi there OkayBoot,

I thought I answered this comment back then when you sent it to me. If not, then the answer is 'yes' you can use the tune...just give me credit is all. Glad you enjoyed it.

Hello there Kyle,

Thanks so much for your comments here. I commented on your latest country song as well. As far as my sound quality, it is a matter of what instruments you use and their volume/place in the overall mix. Basically mixing so they each have a say and fit in without overpowering another.

I always have another person listen to my songs when they are finished so as to have another pair of good ears listen to them and make comments as to what may need 'fixing', if anything before I post them.

That is usually the fellow that 'Masters' my songs at his recording studio. He usually doesn't have to do much with my songs, but he makes them 'radio ready' as far as volume and any tweaking as far as getting rid of any booming Bass, and maybe add in some high's with the tools he uses.

Then he compresses the overall song so the volume is steady throughout and radio ready, or up to the Red Book code for all songs.

Other than that, using more than one rhythm guitar is a good idea, such as an Acoustic guitar, and in this case, also an electric rhythm guitar doing more of a vamping sound that adds to the overall feel. Then the lead on top of that.

Many songs in country music also use a Baritone guitar to get that deep low sound. Basically a guitar tuned an octave lower with heavier strings. I didn't use one here tho.

So basically to get a good sound, make sure each instrument you play or add into your mix, is clear and cuts thru when needed. The fiddle in my song was basically all background.

Anyways, I am glad you enjoyed it and I hope my comments here help some.

Well hello there Fila,

Been a long time since we have heard from each other. I am still on Lafango, but doesn't seem to be much action there.
Am glad you liked my latest country tune. Took me near 3 months to get all the parts down. The fiddle was a loop and drums as well.

The lead part wasn't done in all one fell swoop. I had to play some and add to the track and then some more. So a bit of cutting and pasting in Pro Tools to make it sound seamless. Lol

Anyway's, I will check out and see what you have up.

Thanks again,
Randy

Hi ya Jamie,
