New song. Some rock stuff.

Hmm ... maybe because I set the mic to omni - I'm getting bounce back.

Advice taken. New version up top. Trip - effect gone? Thanks all!!

Hey bud! I think the hollow sound is a combo of the slap and tight reverb I'm using - kind of "down the hall" effect. I actually had that turned up quite a bit - and brought it back way more dry than I first had it. Agreed on the gits - as 12 strings are jangly to begin with. The trick is...

I'm thinking you are correct. I wrestled with that issue myself - but thanks for the extra ears and confirmation I need to go a little further!

You're done. Everything from here is twiddling nobody but you will hear. REALLY liked everything about this piece.

So I figured I'd throw a video together for the piece. I copped a network TV report off YouTube from yesterday, darkened it for background playing - and then posted a lyric video on Facebook and Tik Tok this morning. I don't know if anyone goes to Facebook much anymore, but almost zero...

I darted a little to the right Then ducked out a door to escape Catching his sight Oh it’s not easy Not easy no, by no means I mean I’m only 13 I’ve been training for this my whole life Now I hide in the dark Waiting to die, It’s not right No, it’s not easy Not easy no by no means I mean, I’m...

Lyrics: Well we gave everything we had to give To promises untrue But you tried to burn the whole place down So we now know now what not to do Yeah you always said you could Then it seems you never do So it sad to say but you can rot in hell For we’ll never trust another one like you Well...

Give a spin if you're of a mind ... classic singer songwriter rock stylings plucked from album oriented rock of the 70s/80s. I still have to finish up the last piece - but I'm stuck on the lyrics for it. The music is basically done.

I'm serious. I'm kind of pissed that the whole thing just vanished. It was a half hour of instruction that disappeared.

I'll relisten w/ that in mind. I HAVE been mixing a little too loud of late, and even noticed it myself. I've had to go back and redo several "shouty" mixes. Case in point. I wrote a whole essay on it. I pressed save, and it disappeared. Sorry.

Not to my knowledge. :D I do have this mixed aggressively, though - even if my first pass at it was over done on the compression. I went back in and came down on the compression. Everything was a little too "shouty".

Yeah - just curtail some of the clicking would be the aim.

I've got it highly compressed. I'll bring that back a bit and the pick attack should drop. Thanks for the thoughts!

Feat: Cowbell!

I tried to get Tjarko to perform bass on it - but he basically said: "I'm not feeling it." So I wound up doing it myself. I am not a bass player, but I can try like hell in a pinch. The bass player in my college band, who later joined up with me in our 50s, once remarked, "You're not half...

Both of mine are music lovers. Elder daughter took piano - got okay w/ it, and put it down. Son took guitar, became incredible at it ... and put it down.

My son performs the chorus guitar licks. He hated what I'd done. I think he was 16 or 17 at the time - so I challenged him to do better, and he did. :D
