Give a little listen here there anywhere.... BAM!

A crazy, hard-to-make-real suggestion...

Find a jazz ac bassist who's sound you like, maybe at a small venue local jazz club. Buy him a drink and ask him to listen to your song (version 1) on a portable CD w/headphones. He'll be sold if he listens. Ask if he'll help you out with a bass line. Then book time in a pro studio and bring him/her in along with your orig wav files for version 1's tracks. If this makes any sense, that's the sound I'm imagining that would complete this. Crazy, I know.

Now all I need is a record deal!

Well, if MYSTERY RECORDS hadn't went and gotten themselves banned, you could have signed with them!!

That is a great idea TIM, and exposure too.

I hear there is a new label in town, Stinkdog Records. They just put put their first disc, and might find time in the near future to do another......

How does one get in on this deal? Is there a requirement to stink like a dog?
If so, I will wallor with my two poochies when they are good and wet, before I come to record.

Maybe the CD will come with a scratch-and-sniff cover!

Thanks for the suggestions everyone.
Keep 'em coming... I am looking for ideas on where to take this song.
I am torn between leaving it as a strictly acoustic song, or making it into something a little more exciting.
Suggestions?

I would leave it acoustic! Maybe take out the delay on the vocals and use a nice tight reverb instead? I don't know but this frickin well done bro!

I love it!

 

[JazzMang]

Hmm... I would like it to be an acoustic-only song... would make my life easier... but something tells me that the sound that I am after requires more impact and rhythmic following... still thinking about it..

I have stepped away from this project for a while and have moved onto the next one... an electric rocker type... here is a preview of an old version I did several years ago..

(Ignore the craptacular drum machine... it was just to help me stay in time... I will be re-doing all the tracks now that I have the time and gear to do it...)

The drum machine didn't bother me all that much. It is a rockin tune.

To my ears, the overall recording is fuzzed over with distortion/overdrive(whatever it's called), so that it masked on the vocals, which sound awesome by the way. You seem to be a natural on vocals JAZZ.

My personal taste is a good strong, clear lead going on in the front, with the distortion more back. The thing going on with the little lead notes(if that is what they are?) is a bit seperated from the rest of the song and not nearly strong enough. It also distracts me.

I do love the thing you do with the rhythm on the guitar, and the distortion on that. It is only when you kick it, that it fuzzes things up.

Now that I have been so nit-picky...I don't enjoy it.

This song is going to be another for your first CD eh?

Cool suggestion.

Ya know since were on the "hard-to-make-real suggestion"'s I would say that a single cello would sound awesome. Would give it a percusive solid bass sound.

Cool track, can't wait to hear your new ver.

 

[true-eurt]

I agree with Spaceboy...if not a Cello, possibly some Violin on intro, and for emotional emphasis....OR not...I just LoVe this SoNg!!!!!
I also agree with TIM. Am I agreeable or what?

JAZZ....what does Shartisms mean? The only thing I could find in dictionary, was Chartisms= Opinions. Is this what Shartisms mean? It drives me bug-huntin' if I don't know the meaning of a word!!!


And SPACE, Haven't you heard??? CRACK KILLS!!!!! LMAO!!!!
I didn't realize there was a front AND back view of Farley.

Look up 'shart' and that may give some clues.
