Excellento! Man, I wish I had the discipline to sit down and put something coherent together like that. I really enjoyed the drums and the whole vibe. Were the cello, organ, etc soft synth?

This stands alone but could accomodate a vocal IMO.

Really enjoyed it.

And NO - I'm not trying to earn brownie points for feedback on my post - it doesn't compare to this.

:)
 
My fuck! You've arrived! :eek: I wasn't sure when it was going to happen, but here it is. Well done, mandude.

The sound on that guitar is really, really sexy and really suits the figures you're picking on it.

I'm listening on headphones - the bass coming through the right is unusual - I'm used to hearing it coming through center with the drums. That's okay. BTW, what would the bass part sound like if it weren't merely respectable? :D What if, like Phil Lesh, you turned up the treble a bit on it and played like your life depended on it?

And what do I mean when I say you've finally arrived? Easy:

* You've put together a tune without an acoustic guitar being the rock solid center of the song.

* This is a really exuberant piece of music. If there were words, they'd be exuberant too. You sing a lot about love gone wrong. If this one had words, they might be along the lines of: "You're gone, I'm glad, you weren't much fun anyway. I'm shaking myself into the clear light of a new day and I'm starting tonight."

* All that synth business is wonderful - you've tipped your hand. You're an old romantic! Glorious architectural pop. You're getting dangerous. Don't fuck it up. Keep at it.

I decided to listen to this tonight before I started in tracking, hoping for a bit of a pick me up. It worked. :) Good work, Emeric.
 
Hey psmith66, thanks for checking it out. The keys, cello etc are a Korg01W. I d/l your song yesterday, will check it out and post back today.

Dobro. I don't know why I put the bass through the right. It's a sample off the 01W, which probably explains the lack of attack and 'dull' characteristic your describing.

If I had a way of putting an acoustic on this song, you know I would.. :) Hey catchy lyrics, I'll have to steal those!

Anyway, glad you guys like it, it's one of those tunes your not sure what to do with. I thought it might make a good background for a commercial or something.
 
Yeah Dobro - sounds like you are on the road to a vocal arrangement/lyrics for this piece.
 
the first thing I hear in a song is the space.

I can hear the space in this song and I like the fact that it sounds like the space I hear on some pro records.

THe instrumental is chilled(another word for I dig it)

The only thing I can pick at through these headphones is that some of the sounds don't sound convincing, but that is understandably due to the sound module used.

Good Job.

By the way, nice mix. Are you mixing on ns10ms?
 
Thanks for the listen CyanJaguar. I probably should have mentioned in my first post that this is not a new song. I recorded it some time ago on 1/2" Tascam TSR-8. It was transferred from cassette to computer as I don't have the reel - reel anymore. This was mixed on NS10's actually. I'm using 20/20's these days though.

Thanks again.
 
Sweet piece, Emeric!

As said, some of the instruments weren't convincing, but I found after a coupla listens that it didn't matter to me - the whole piece hung together really well and built a nice sound picture

Very very nice
 
Nice...I thought Roger Daltrey(sp)? of "The Who" would start singing at any moment. Liked the change at around 1:17 or so also. Say this was tracked on an 8trk reel to reel then to cassette? Sounded pretty darn good. Great little ditty err uh..insturmental:)
