2nd review of the track.
Still love that track!Think you were right to add the cello and not the bass.
Great song!

A very under-represented genre. Nicely recorded ( acoustic guitars are notoriously hard to record well ), good vocal harmonies as well - well done.

JensTonic replied Unknown

Wow so so good - wow wow wow. I just finally after years was able to put a vocal melody into a track as I developed it from scratch, so like right now especially your clarity in singing and pitch control really stand out to me. Great job!!

hey man wicked song! i dont think it needs the bass lol nice soft backing vocals from the female...who is that?
i think this song works really well buddy...i wouldn't add bass...but if your gonna..just re record it on your acoustic and EQ a bass boost in it...personally i would leave it out buddy
Great song!

Hello again,
Really nice and sweet track.It's always tempting to add something to the song but sometimes it just spoils it so personaly I would keep it as it is or maybe add a clean guitar solo (slide?).It's funny because when I listened to your song I was writing one for my wife (I'll post it in a few days)
See ya!

JensTonic replied Unknown
thanks for your advice...i'll be sure to check your song in a few days..

nice song. good job on the harmonies. lead vox needs less verb to sinc up with the harmony. i suggest adding any vocal reverb after you take a dry track. sometimes a bit of room sound on the overall mix does the trick. certainly with an acoustic track like this. if you ever need a little bass, hit me up!

thanks for chequing in again...im gonna do just that. leave my voice mostly dry that's the way my girlfriends voice is...only thing everytime i go upload a song it seems i have to burn it to cd then convert it to mp3!! Im not sure why, but it's kind of annoying. anyway thanks for listening again..

Great little track arranged just as it is. The male vocal does need to come up with respect to the guitar track, and don't be afraid to pull some verb off of it. If you're using a bunch of EQ on it, try recording it flat instead, or only dialing out some of the room "honk" if there is any. Trust your voice and your gear. :)

It doesn't *need* more instruments, but it might be fun to have a cello come in on the 2nd verse to provide some bottom end. If you want to use regular bass guitar, then a bass part should come pretty easy to someone who can Travis pick like you're doing here.

Great little song, great little track.
JensTonic
JensTonic replied Unknown
thanks for the tips...so i'll take some reverb off..i am waiting for some midi cables to add a little something to it. i don't know if i want to repeat the the bass line with a bass though. cello would be nice but there doesn't seem to be any cello players on looperman.

This track sounds OK - no distortion or vibrato. In music terms I thing this one is great !! got a real "folky" sound to it what I like. I know everyones different but I would add a piano and a mandolin...
JensTonic
JensTonic replied Unknown
hey thanks for listening.... i think it does need a little something else, im waiting for a midi cable from ebay so i can experiment with other instrument sounds... thanks again and yeah i think i'll change it to folk...

Very pretty song. The vocals are great, but seem a bit heavy on the reverb on the male voice. It sounds like you recorded it in a huge room, standing on one side with the mic on the other. The guitar is perfect; I particularly like the picking part at ~1:30.

What are you looking to do with the bass? I imagine a very subtle strings coming in at a build toward the end, but that's just me.
JensTonic
JensTonic replied Unknown
i think it's a little too much too. but it's very difficult to tell through my headset. i need reference monitors i think. and yeah something really subtle like that ...maybe with a cello?

Description : What happens when a short but hypnotic celtic intro turns into something completely different? The most noteworthy collaborator on this track (yeah you guessed, it's Tumbleweed) answered correctly to this question! A newly patented musical genre is what happens...yes..."SlovenianCelticCowboyMusic" is born. Sometimes we just have to cut off from being too serious...The version presented here has been carefully chosen from 4856 or so mixes...
As always all thanks to my dear friend Ed who makes such wonders possible to happen.....

Description : This is a country/folk track in a genre I don't do much, so I thought I'd give it a go. It also has some instruments I don't use much, namely the banjo, mandolin and fiddle. I got the title from a movie I saw a few months ago. Hope you enjoy, Scott.

Description : I wanted to do something different like i do normaly. And I think that I was successful.
A -drum ´n chill folk song-. A kind of hippie music in colorful garb of the modern era.
At the end of the track there is a bonus.
Something in the way of bonfire music.

Description : I had the idea that this lyric could be rapped over my track but not having the skills to do that repurposed Joni's masterful voice - It seems a little jarring at first but I kind of like how it fits as it goes along - My multitracked classical guitar and my constructed beat from various vst kits and 'you know who ' sampled vocal (cut up just a little). Not sure about genre
Feedback welcome
