Absolutely wonderful as usual.

Only thing I didn't like was the fake hat tick...sounded like an old casio keyboard.

Otherwise this recording seemed to have more of something that I like compared to your previous material...can't quite put my finger on it though...

I'm voting for reverb
 
wow... this is cool... kinda like dylan, without the marbles in his mouth :) this is probably what jeap would sound like if he were good :eek: (joke, jeap ;))...

Off the wall... really cool... yeh... have to say that casio hh sux... (bandwagon, here I COME!! :D)

Nice job. Probably the best recording I've heard from you.

I'm putting in TWO [more] votes [for reverb] to overide erichenryus' misjudged opinion:D
 
:D :D :D

...Cooool trumpet!!!!!:D Nice vocs in this man.... lead AND bg's.
This was a fun listen. A really nice change for the clinic too.


oh yeah, and definitely...5 stars man!

That trumpet sounds like a sick elephant. It's the worst trumpet sound I have ever heard! :P

No really it is cool. Maybe a little processing on the trumpet so people will wonder what exactly that was. Keep people guessing.

Greetings, listeners.

One at a time, one at a time.

Chris: there *was* no noise shaping on that one. LOL

mixmkr: lotsa posts...I studied what you said, and out of everything, I think I'll check out the noise reduction suggestion first and best. But yeah, the HH - I'll look into it. That, and I'll try your panning suggestions as well. They're worth looking into - it's stuff that never even *started* to cross my mind as I was mixing. LOL Those are the best ideas to look at.

Lt Bob - Steve Miller? I've got one S Miller album - 'Sailor'. I like it. It's all good, but the opening track, 'Song for our Ancestors' is my favorite. I've always wanted to do big, slow music with loads of space, yet what I come up with is kneeslappers like Baby Angels. It's important to accept what you are, though. :)

christiaan: stars? nemmind the stars... :)

Track Rat: hey, thanks for trying those reverbs - nice one. Anyway, I *did* try a dobro recently. It sounded like a banjo sort of the way I played it, fingerpicking. No wonder people use slides with them.

kramer: I see starry people, folk from a distant star system... The guitar's a Spanish guitar, an Admira. An Artista. Mics: Rode NTK on vocals, and the same Rode plus an AKG C480B on the guitar. I put the large diaphragm pointed at the 12th fret, and the small diaphragm was either pointed at the bridge, or way down pointing up between the bouts at the top fret just off the sound hole.

erichenryus - cheers, ears. antares kantos? I'll check it out - thanks - if you can hear it being useful, I'll look into it.

"the only complaint i have is your choice of percussion. that's just preference though. i'd love to hear your music with some real hand percussion and such some day"

I agree. I didn't have a drummer at the time. I agree.

wisc - in souf london, they call it mouf trumpet

Slack - what this one has is a different atmosphere to most of my stuff, and your stuff as well, it seems to me. Our stuff sounds really different, but both of us would rather do songs about what *isn't* right with life. Well, hey, we can't help it if we're real men. :D Great big balls. Well, metaphorical balls, anyway. But it's okay to have fun too. Balls have fun too. Balls just wanna have fun.

participant mentions dylan and votes against the hh sound - good

guernica - different from other stuff in the clinic? Don't tempt me with a niche... :)

beezoboy - do me a lip trumpet :D
 
interesting song..........sounds good.............the harmonies sound nice...........i wasn't crazy about the drum machine sound in the back as i kind of think it takes away from the quality a little, but that's just my opinion............good work
 
I bet chicks dig you.


Hey man this sounds very cool... Creative and well recorded. I like it dry...I think the verb would destroy the warmth, and the feeling that you're sitting in the middle of a circle of friends.
 
That was Cool!
Sounds like youv'e been practicing that horn!:D

The upbeat feel and energy you got across were just great,especially the vocals.
It's all about talent on this one!:)

Great song,thanks for sharing it,
Pete

ok...I won't harp on this anymore after THIS post...

but the reverb I am talking about is one that MAKES it sound like you are in a room, in the middle of a circle of friends... really... !! not some bat-cave, drippy wet, 10 second, echoy thing.. Something that makes it sound like a living room...

ok...I'm done...

Mr. reverb slut
 
Yeah! What part-ipant's said! Sort of a cross between a Dylan & a
Reed!! Clean acoustics with your lyrical style bouncing nicely with the sweeping flow of the music! Enjoyable, easy listening!
Your git technique's are admirable and the jammie's ambient
production made this fun to listen!

Do-brother, that was good!!!:) Thankyou!:)
 
Ya Mixmkr, it could probably use some general fattening with a touch of verb. I agree there. But I still bet chicks dig him.
 
What a great tune! Very fun to listen to. The scat "pie hole" trumpet lines were great. I'm gonna go have some fun playing some travis type and banjo roll picking lines to this.
 
Cool tune. I feel like I was transported to a land of happy red neck dwarfs playing instruments made of candy and dreams. :D
 
powderfinger - I replaced the high hat with something else, and me missus says it sounds better. Should one trust one's missus?

sluice - my wife says she's rather fond of me. She's a chick. So I guess you're right.

emeric - hiya, how's it going? What you up to these days? I haven't been in here for a while, but I look forward to stuff you do because it keeps changing and getting better. You're the best endorsement of home recording I know.

Peter muzeman - thanks - I'm glad you liked it. I don't think there's a lot to music other than whether you like it or not. That's why I'm glad you liked it. :)

mixmkr: two things - I think you're probably right about the reverb, but I'm being cautious with it because I'm just getting into it, and I'm wary of effects. But it'll fit into the rest of the album - honest. :D Well, sure, it wasn't some batcave drippy 10-second verb, it was more of a bird-in-a-snug-dry-nest-just-under-the-eaves sort of verb, but that's what the album's about.

Q - Dylan? Reed? I love both those guys and their music. Tell you what. On the next album, I'll aspire to Howlin Wolf. Probably won't get close. I'll try though.

JR - yup, banjo and travis picking for sure. Yup.

Tex - I have a friend, an artist who lives in England but who comes from Scotland. We got into music together once, and about the same time, he came into possession of a couple of tree stumps. He set to work carving the fuckers, and by the end of the summer he had two statues - one of him, and one of me. The one of him was tall, lithe and sexually elegant. The one of me was a happy red neck dwarf. You nailed it in one.
