I wrote it out of loneliness. so i'm sharing it with everyone. I updated this song by adding a cello in the second part of the song ... i think im done with it now...

i got advice about eq'ing and mic usage. thanks so much... i'm still working on it, but it IS fun.

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.

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!

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.

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 - 2028 years ago
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 - 2028 years ago
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 : Shorten My Days is a deeply personal prayer about examining the true intentions behind our relationship with God. It wrestles with the uncomfortable question of whether we seek Him because we genuinely love Him, or because of what we want from Him and the world around us. It is a plea for God to strip away selfish motives, sustain us through life's battles, and teach us to live in a way that brings glory to His name.
Guitar: Nameless.

Description : 'Main Barbaad Ho Gaya' means 'I got destroyed in loving you'. I had created this track last year. The vocals are AI. However the music and the tune is mine. Hope you enjoy this tragic love track. I was inspired by the Bollywood movie 'Saiyaara' when creating this track.
