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.

If you have time take a listen and give d2d some feedback.

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.

Thanks for your review!

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!!

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!

p.s. and the guitar stuff you make is great!

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.

"Free credit report.com" lol the track at times reminds me of something those dudes from the commercial would do.

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.

Description : This sits somewhere between drum and bass, and breakbeat at 150 bpm. I had been listening to The Prodigy at the time, and it definitely shows in the production I think. Enjoy.
