Cool! Sounds great. That's the first time any of my music has been treated to a real plate reverb, that's for sure!What all was the plate used on? Very nice all the way around. Thanks much!
And thanks for the kind words on the song. I have another one right now called "Traffic" in the mp3 clinic, and I have two more new ones that I'm going to post in there in a few days or so.
By the way, I just checked out your stuff on soundcloud: very interesting sound! It really reminds me of that 80s pop thing, like Michael McDonald, Hall and Oates ... definitely not something you hear every day nowadays. Although, the 80s sound has definitely made a comeback recently --- that "Shut Up and Dance with Me" song sounds straight out of an 80s movie soundtrack. So maybe this is your time!![]()
Thanks so much for checking out my "80's" stuff. My dad had this type of music playing all the time when I was growing up and I've found that with the difficult music business, it's best to write and record music you like yourself. In the end you have some tunes that you can enjoy yourself. My home recording songs are waaaayy, over produced, definitely get carried away with new plugins and toys. I'm the one who needs someone to mix my tunes with quick finger on the delete button. Oh, well.
The plate was used on the whole track as a send/receive. There is very little you can do to alter the plate sound other than the Reverb Time but it does make your singing really shine especially in the tails falling off into silence.
Your song was in my head for at least a week, really liked it a lot. There are a couple things you did that were so professional. Most artist I record these days, just come in and play their instruments from start to stop but you used different interesting sounds in each separate part. Sometimes the actual chord doesn't have to be played outright but alluded to with parts. Less is usually more. When I have a tough mix, I start taking out parts instead of adding and sometimes it's just the trick.
Will check out your other tunes, again, great job!
