Yea, BadHuman really hit it with his guitars in this piece. Lacey added the vocals we needed to really give this song life. Thanks for your comments.

on In and Out of Comfort by kdlucas
Aha The Sweet sounds of Funk. Very nice track just as you said something to listen to that's funky but laid back also. Good for on the job listening or that long drive home and more. (Sweet)

Thanks for the comments. I guess my genre's are very limited to R&B, funk, and chill out stuff with some classic rock once in a while. I'm working on another one that may add some similar feelings, called "Learning to Lose", but need to do some work on it.

this is nice. sorry i can't help with mix 'n all that. but i enjoyed this, its a mellow funk, but funky just the same!

kdlucas replied 5th Nov 2011 - 14 years ago
No worries. Someone that can do vocals to funk really sets it apart, as it's not an easy genre for most vocalists.

KD,this is a strong track i like the mix. the only thing i might do to this is pump it up on the hook. mabe add a heavier kik and snare, couple of simple drum rolls and cymble crashes,acoustic guitar strumming on the left,and call it a day.just my opinion. im commin back soon.PEACE. THE MACK MAN OUT.

kdlucas replied Unknown
Thanks for your feedback. So the percussion kind of needs to be a little low key and melo, so I'm not sure if adding a snare and kick into it would add or take away from the overall mood the song is trying to set. At any rate, thanks for the thoughts on the piece.

Regards,

Once again, you have managed to produce an outstanding track. I think you should take this act on the road......I know a bus driver :)

Fantastic job by all involved. Ms. Cruse has the voice of an angel. The instrumentation is flawless.

Another straight to favorites from you.

Nicely done!!! Vocals are spectacular, as is the guitar work. The mix sounds crisp and clean as well. I can't find any flaws with this one. Sounds like all of you were on the same page and having a great time doing this.

Thanks for posting this one. It went well with my afternoon coffee :) And thanks for reminding me it is a beautiful day.

Bear, you must be referring to the line about "sipping my coffee", as often a beautiful day would start that way for many. I'm glad you enjoyed the song.

Beautiful day and beautiful song. Vocals,guitar,everything just super, I would if I may just suggest that you perhaps consider leaving out the 'Ooooh's' at the beginning and just let the vocals kick in as she does come in with a big 'wow' factor when she starts to sing, maybe turn the vocals down just a touch though but leave the rawness, I like that. Well done to everyone involved. Harmonies are superb also.
kdlucas
kdlucas replied Unknown
Greatly appreciate the feedback. I too have wondered if we should take the oooh's out of the beginning, I'll bring it up and see what Lacey thinks. Thanks for the critical evaluation and I'll see if we can't incorporate some of them.

Regards,

Kelly

lovely guitar and vox and subtely supported by the beat - production needs a bit of oomph though.

Edit - it's difficult to explain. Might be the way the vox and guitar have been recorded seperately. The guitar sounds lovely and bright. The vocal does'nt have the same quality. Needs a bit of a boost and pushing forward in the mix too. The backing vocal in particular is struggling to find it's place in the mix. Anyway this is just my opinion. If I'm wrong blame my ears.

Thanks for the review. When you say oomph, do you mean we need to add some heavier instrumentation, or adjust the mix somehow?

OK KD, this is really a nice and soothing mix you've created. Lacey Cruse, these vocals really complete this piece. Beautifully done!

Thanks brother. I too like the way this mix turned out. I really appreciate BadHuman for coming up with such a beautiful mix of his guitar strumming and percussion.

just had to log in to leave you a few words after listening to this one Kdlucas...you`re right..beautiful guitar sound and wrapped perfectly arount those extra talented vocals. A great listen over my way and kudos to you on the composition..the variation you have developed sets aside any limits the little chord prog may have....Everything needed is here and it all sounds great....a well done to all....Ed
kdlucas
kdlucas replied Unknown
Ed,

Thanks for stopping by and giving this one a review. Yes, when I first heard BadHuman's chord progression I knew he was onto something special, and with just a little additions here and there it could become a full blown song. Lacey's vocals work well with this genre so I'm glad we could put something like this together collaborating with a total of 4 members on Looperman.

Regards,

Kelly

These songs for me are a way to get over feelings that cause me turmoil. Once I get it out - it is then no longer deep with me but out for everyone else to interpret and use as their own release.

Thank you for making these songs your own Kelly - you really seem to take my vision and run with it. Nice work.

I believe this song has a lot of really powerful qualities. I can't wait to lay down some harmonies to this. It really needs them to give it the full feel that I envision. Great work so far!

Thanks for the accolades. This piece has the singer's imprints all over it, Lacey Cruse, since she wrote this one from the heart.

I like it so much, very funky as promised by the description... I'm just a little bit disappointed by the sound of the drum: too much synthetized... recording a real drum on this track would be greeeaaat!!!!
kdlucas
kdlucas replied Unknown
Thanks for the review and for the suggestion. Are you a drummer, if so you're welcome to add a drum track that I could put in the song. If not, I do work with a drummer and I'll see if he is interested in putting a real drum track in.

Thanks. I do really enjoy making more of the R&B or funk sounds. Hopefully the bass player I'm collaborating with will lay down a track for this piece soon.
