Thanks for the comments everyone!! I haven't been around these parts in a while, and am just getting back to this thread now: Thanks squibble! The drums were Addictive Drums with some tweaks. I programmed the loop myself. AD is really deep tone-wise, but like most other drum plugs I've...

sounds great! the male vocalist and piano accompaniment remind me a little of john legend. bgv's sound awesome. great job!

Hi all, Does reaper have a piano scroll midi drum editor? For those of you who are familiar with cubase, I'm wondering if reaper provides similar functionality in terms of midi drum editing. I'm using Addictive Drums, ezDrummer and Groove Agent. thanks

great job! nice overall vibe, interesting feel. i like the sound of the vocals and the harmonies. the drums sound a little thin, and the ghosting on the snare is a bit too similar to the harder hits. but overall, sounds great!

sounds fantastic!

charming, cute little tune. nice work!

Wow, I really enjoyed that, thanks! Great acoustic guitar feel/dynamics and pretty melodies. There could be more contrast in the drum dynamics between V/C/B. There are a few sections that feel a little sparse, as if there should be a ride or hat keeping time. Maybe some ghosting on the...

Nice tones and mix! Unique sound. I agree that the vocals don't seem too forward. There are a couple of drums fills that seem a little too loose. Looking forward to part II!

Thanks Matt! Thanks JRSIV, you're too kind! I was hoping that the frills wouldn't take away from the overall pocket. I definitely had Zigaboo in mind when I was putting that drum groove together. :D The pocket is so wide on some of that old funk stuff, that when there are mistakes, they...

Sounds great! Ditto on the 80's pop/rock feel. It reminds me of some of Peter Gabriel's stuff. Keep it up!

Wow, 60 years old. That old-instrument vibe is definitely audible on the track. Kind of reminds me of some acoustic guitar tones that Ryan Adams gets. The fret noise/squeaks that come with high action contribute to the feel imo. The bass playing is great man, Eric Avery-like. Reminds me...

Nice song, really catchy! Great feel on the acoustic and the bass. Love the vocals. Awesome tones all around. I wish I could get that kind of acoustic picking tone, something to work towards. The guitar solo reminded me of pink floyd a little bit. Nit: the kick drum feels a tad bit...

Thanks heatmiser! I actually cut the bass track when I was heavy into bass about a year and half ago, and only recently got around to mixing. I don't know if I could pull that run off now without a little 'shedding first. :D Funny you mention lo-fi funk. I actually was debating whether to...

Thanks for the kind words everyone! The bass signal chain is: MTD 535 > Art PRO VLA > A-designs P1 > Mackie Onyx A/D I had lots of fun putting this together!

Hi Disease8, Thanks for the feedback! The issues you pointed out about the brightness on the lead guitar and the vocals were things I was thinking could use more work but were 'close enough', but I'm glad you pointed that out. I'm going to make some adjustments. The bass was DI'ed through a...
