here's one you might be interested in vocalising

http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?fid=4046

I'll tell you a bit about when I got more time

BTW it's called "A Street Called Dave"

I do intend to use it on album so it will be remixed & will have acoustic kit tracked to it

this particular mix is a touch bass light.................
 
The song was a little rough getting started, the effects seemed to clash with each other. Once the song started going it was great. Nice 70's vibe.

Cool tune, good full mix. :cool:

Double Post... :eek: the song was that good.

it's got it's problems, granted

but is only for demo purposes & if Mcreel gets his teeth into it............ a complete make over for the vocalisations
 
Is that a Rhodes at the beginning? Nice sounds BUT the panning effect was really painful with h'phones.
Reminds me of Post Free Kossof - Back Street Crawler sort of.
REALLY good stuff. I wouldn't say redo the thing just tidy up the effects at the beginning & then some smoke damaged lungs to give it a narrative & you're there. Though perhaps, if keeping this kit, pul the drums back a little.
Is that amp buzz I heard in the quite spot at 3.38? Whatever it is will need to be cleaned up or covered up. A bit of sustain or feedback would do nicely.
 
yah it's a rhodes coming from a korg X5DR (I think) called "panning rhodes" :D

the buzz you're thinking of I think is a saw tooth synth bass that I wish I'd left out!!! however retrospect is great innit

I would replace the drums with acoustic having said that I might remove the V-drum kick & use the rest of the V part along with acoustic kit...........sometimes the double drum thing works well

Fishmed mentioned the 70s vibe...................I was listening to Steely Dan just about 24/7 when I recorded it

& the smoke filled lungs........................Mcreel do you smoke
 
sure don't.....but we'll see what comes out.

I listened to it all the way through and liked what I heard. I will sit tonight and try to write some parts maybe and then try to lay them down this weekend.

Did you have anything specific in mind? I don't know if you want vocals over the intro part......it feels like vocals ought to come in a bit later once everything gets going, but you've got a guitar line going there and I don't want to cover that up.

thoughts from anyone?
 
the title.............A Street Called Dave"

I had a friend who organised Country festivals called Dave Street. He died :(

it was named in his memory. He always wore shorts T-shirt & a bushman's hat, he looked scruffy

He awarded me a diploma (on stage I might add) in Dorset, the diploma was for being the scruffiest band member in Country music

I was like a new pin, black jeans, cowboy boots, black shirt, bootlace tie & a black leather fedora style hat...............he had a whacky sense of humour & a taste for bourbon as I did at the time

we had some laughs & just as I'd finished this version of the tune I heard he passed away & the title came straight to me "A Street Called Dave"

you seem to be on the right track Mcreel, bare in mind though that the lead line will change when a vocal comes into play, you seem to be on my wavelength for when it should come in

I look forward to hearing what you do

peace out
Slidey :)
