Hey Fila

Thanks for stopping by and listening and your comments are very much appreciated. Yes, I wanted exactly that lead, rhythm, bass and drums feel on the track (well, it's a classic live band setup and one you don't hear too much of today) so thanks for picking up on that. It's a great vocal and I just hope I've done it justice and I'm pleased you enjoyed it.

Thanks again.

Richie

Thanks for the comments Spudsy and the advice on the drums - appreciate it. I tend to work on the principle "less is more" so never over compress, over EQ or over effect anything. The track is unmastered too so I still have some work to do. Maybe I could send you the finished mastered track in a few weeks for your comments? I always welcome some constructive comment. Not sure about a "sub sine" or a "tuned sub kick"? First thing is I'll find out what that means and see if it's appropriate to apply. See, I'm still learning!

My guitar sound here - I'd like to say I spent hours getting it right. I didn't!! I use my Godin Xtsa through my Onyx 820i mixer and firewire straight into the iMac. Logic Pro has lots of guitar patches which I tend to simply go through one by one until I find one I like! No rocket science here just good old fashioned luck!! Glad you like it.

Thanks again for stopping by, listening and commenting.

Hi Dave

Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to listen and comment. Always appreciate it. I thought the "all guitar" approach was a good idea and thank you so much for even mentioning Ramones in the same sentence as my sound on this track. It is a great compliment - thank you.

Best regards

Richie

Thank you so much for stopping by to listen and comment - it's appreciated. I am truly happy with your remarks, it makes the hard work worthwhile.

Hi Ed

It's the neck pickup alright but on my Godin xtsa! Glad you liked the sound and thank you so much for the comments. MIM4E is such an immense talent and putting tracks together with her wonderful acapellas is a pleasure. This was fun to do. Thanks again.

Hi Ed

Thanks very much for the comments and taking the time to listen. Appreciated. My acoustic on this is my Ovation Celebrity direct in to the desk and with just a little compression. It has active EQ and I always make sure the little 9v battery is new before recording - it makes a difference.

Derek Vickers has an amazing voice and great lyrics. It was a lot of fun putting this track together. Glad you enjoyed it.

Richie

Thanks again

Richie

Hey Mim Fouree

You are so kind, thank you for the comments. Glad you liked the track and my interpretation of it. I had fun putting it together and always enjoy the challenge of a guitar solo (and trying to make it sound like something I haven't already played before - always difficult). Thanks again P.

Richie

Thanks for taking the time to listen and post comments. Much appreciated. Glad you liked the track - the acapella was so interesting I felt drawn to it. Had fun putting the track together and so pleased it has been received so well.

Thanks again.

Richie

Hi Tony

Thanks for the great comments - I really appreciate them. It was such a great acapella I felt I had to put a track together using it. What fun. Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks again

Richie

Hey Bear

Good to hear from you. Thanks for the comments, particularly about the "pacing". I wanted it to be a bit "sleepy" but with plenty of interest to keep the listener engaged. I had lots of fun puting this together and thanks for the link on your track to the acapella on Mixter.

Best regards and thanks again.

Richie

So grateful for you kind words - many thanks. It's a fantastic acapella and I couldn't resist putting a track together using it. What a journey it was too! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks again.

Richie

Hey Dan

I'm actually a Welsh Dragon so hope that doesn't disappoint? Thanks for the comments. Much appreciated.

Richie

Hi SJ

Many thanks for the comments - really appreciate them. No, it's not me on vocals (I'm not much of a singer) but on the solo I use a patch from my guitar synth called "scat". MusicIzMee4Ever is the star vocalist on the track - she is such an immense talent. Glad you liked this track and hope you enjoy listening to it many times.

Thanks again

Richie

Hey there to you too MIM4E

Always really good to hear from you and thanks for the comments. Sometimes thinks happen without you noticing and the ending came about when I had left the strings running over by a couple of bars quite by accident. I snipped a bit of the "scream" from the intro and that was that. It's supposed to represent his "angst" at being his own worst enemy!! A bit of fun too!

Glad you liked it.

Richie

Hey Abner
