Hi there. Could you give this tune a listen? I spent more time on it. A whole day of fun. I recorded it last week.

What do yo think about the mix too? I used big headphones again so perhaps its does not sound good without them.

Does the song hold you too the end? I even put in a solo that is more than just 2 seconds...

If you listen, perhaps turn the volume up, its quite gentile.

Well, as usual, I wish I had your voice. You just have a wonderful quality to it that can't be learned....you just have to have been born with it. And the song is a well constructed piece of music like most of your stuff. It's pretty hard to find anything to critisize in your songs. I did find the acoustic sound to be a little 'boomy' and that obscures some of the fine detail. The second guitar that comes in sounds better and I like your solo. I think I'd pull some upper lows out of that first guitar....somewhere around 400hz.....and maybe even out of the whole mix.
Nice song again.
 
Hey Lt. Bob, well cheers for checking it out. I always would love to hear someone else sing a song I write. You start to dislike your own voice. Recently I have started not to care though, my singing gives the melody better than not singing and so thats fine with me. I really thought i had hit the nail on the head with the guitars this time. I was glad there was no boomyness as there usually is more, perhaps its my headphones, bugger. I dont have anything to EQ with so pulling 400 out is a mystery to me. Thanks though, I must learn about this stuff.

Glad you liked the solo. That was a first for me!

Ya that's terrific!

I like the harmonies too. Sounds like the vocal is panned a little right, which is good since you have the guitar so hard left. Very soothing vocals are always.

I'd like that rhythm guitar to be a bit brighter. But it works as it is. It's a nice part too.

I listened twice and then I had to stop because I was about to ask you out for dinner and a movie.

Nice job Erland...and it sounds like you're getting a better feel of that condensor!
 
cool

good to know you checked it out!

Dinner and a Movie, great stuff! Lol. mmm good song title.

There was some wierd panning in this for sure. I tryed to balance everything out with harmonies etc. I wanted the mix to be alittle different. Glad it worked out.

I really love the condesor mic, such a big step for me. Thanks again.

Erland

I hate you. :mad:



















:D










This was freaking beautiful. Great harmonies (and vocals all around). Nice clean gits too.

The main git was panned left a little too much,.. and the lead seemed a little too loud.. but sheesh... who cares. :D

I like how you brought the percussion in right when it was about to end.. very interesting.



Did I mention that I hate you? :p


:cool:

Excellent job....loved the vocals.I agree that the main guitar panned to the left side is a little boomy.Not much just a little...the suggestion to roll a little off on the low end will take care of it.I was kept interested all the way through.Good guitar and vocal work as usual.
 
Erland, that's the best vocal recording I've heard from you and I've heard everything you've posted here.
 
Great work. Very Crosby Stills.

Is that a subtle deep harmony below on "what do think about" or am I hearing it my head?

Joe
 
man~Erland, my man.....

I so wish I had had your music when I was in high school, when I depended alot of my emotion upon music. Seriously, this is what kind of music that leaves me lonely when finished listening, and wanting to play it again and again.

you really know how to reach the audience. Now I miss my high school sweethearts:(


AL
 
Thanks so much

Very glad you liked this one. I spent a little more time on it. I even tryed to make the lyrics work better and I really wanted to do a long song.


Hey WATYF. I love you too. I am happy I managed to do a vocal without those ruff edges, eg. cars and people adding there own parts. I dont know why I was doing all this wierd panning, just fancied a change. The guitar solo was my first, perhaps I just turned it up to grab attention. The wee shaker, you liked, nice!

Kramer, Thanks for the listen man. Its great that it kept you till the end. Mission accomplished, nice. I will see what my computer can do to the low end stuff too. Cheers.

Eric. You know its just great to know you are always listening, makes my day. I hope I am getting better and more confident with it. I have lots to record and then i record something else instead, bugger. This one I was determined to record. Thankyou.

Smokepole. Hey man. There is a deep part on the second verse, i think I left it in the chorus once too. Perhaps your not hearing things. Cheers Joe.

A1A2. you at Uni/college? My high school only had 250 poeple in it. Not an abudance of sweet heart there, my University was an eye opener! That is a really nice comment about playing over each time, really makes sence. Thanks for listening Ali.

Click to expand...


My high school had 120 students...yeah, the whole school...

Not that I had many sweethearts then, but you know how the relationships are like in a small community, kids are just closer in general.

yeah, I am at a university now. you are still going to law school, right? you should consider bringing in your guitar for every closing statement at the end of each trial:D

Erland, good to see you branching out a little. Your recordings are definitely improving. The song is very solid as usual. I really enjoyed hearing a bigger production from you. Oh, and glad to see you've replaced the missing E string!

Twist
 
cool song.......nice guitar playing..........

i like the song.....the subtle production ideas work well too to keep you guessing
 
Very nice man...nice song...well sung...well played. Interesting panning. Not what you would usually expect to hear. Guitar could be a little brighter as someone mentioned.

Great job...you have a great sound.
 
Yes, Erland. You kept my attention all the way through. I liked the song a lot too. Its always a pleasure to hear your stuff--no pretension, and no measurable outside influences. If somebody were to ask me how to categorize you, I'd say that you are unique in the same way that Cat Stevens was unique when he came out. Not that you sound like him, but your material has the same kind of integrity. If I have any critique at all, its this. Your melodies are A+. Your voice is A+. Song structure-A+Your lyrics are good, but I sometimes feel like you don't spend as much time with them as you could. Not that you are missing the mark--far from it. I just have a sense that they could be even stronger. In your style of music, the lyrics are the final ingredient that really puts the song over the top.

This is just a comment for consideration. What can I say--you are nailing it--really high quality work. Great voice. I just have a feeling there is more potential in your arsenal that hasn't been tapped yet. Probably a lot of people will disagree with me and thats OK. I believe there is something like greatness in what you do and that the only area you need to expand at all is the lyrics--because everything else is really rocking strong.

My opinion is not coming out as I wished to express it here--damn! Look at it this way--if I were a record exec and you came to me with your songs, I'd say don't change a thing--its all incredible-- but continue to explore your lyric potential. And, I'd sign you--as is!
 
Erland,

I am listening now. First thought: You Fucker :P , that sounds great!

You are a great singer in my mind.

Super Harmonies.

Like the Hummed parts....

Good solo, a tiny bit loud in the mix for my taste. Cause the background track is so nice, I want to hear it with the solo. Nice Shaker there. Is that an Eggz? I used to sell a ton of those. The vocals are soft and smooth, a very soothing tune.

Overall, that was an excellent tune. You should be very proud of that one. Thanks for letting us have a look at it.

Fangar
 
well

A1A2. Ok thats small too. I get you completely. I just finished University, got my degree in the summer. I am now in Spain, learning, well spanish among other things. Cant beat internationbal student life!

Hey twist. Brilliant cheers, I feel more confident with recording and writing too. Thanks to you guys. I really tried to fill this song up with parts. Thanks man.

powderfinger. Thanks for checking it out and my last song as well. Really appreciated it. Glad you liked it and it kept you until the end.

Thanks Jag. Really nice thing to say. Yeh the panning was a little nuts. Kindof makes you listen more carefully though. I think I have a heavy left ear but I tried to balance things out. Plus cheers for checking out my last tune. Thanks

Fangar. Well thanks for listening. I dont think I sing that well, still cringe alot when listeing back. Perhaps I always will. The solo was a bit loud but it was my first big one. Must have tried to show it off, bugger. Anyway the wee egg is great. No more bags of suger for me. Thanks again

crawdad. Well I am blown away, not like in your song but really chuffed. I really look up to you and everything you say I take in. Which part of a song do you think I do last? The lyrics everytime. I feel I am learning more about this though, this song was my first attempt to really make it make more sence than usual. I seemed to miss out words I had written or forget to sing them, this means the song makes less sence to you but not me. Must focus better. You really make me enthusiastic about music. Thanks again Crawdad.

Thanks you.

Erland
 
damn you, now I'll be humming and singging this all day tomorrow on the freaking tractor. and then the guitar comes in and, fuck, you picking fool. this is a great song. IMO this is the best tune I;ve heard to date here. Of course next to mine. he he he, opps, playing it again. Your low strings boom a little like my Martin does. Fingerpicking? Great hook. man, you be good. Thanks for this one.

It's really hard to believe that you spend as little time and technique as you say you do. Not that I think you're lying; I just can't handle the truth;)


As always, naturally, instinctively excellent. The song communicates a mood directly from heart to heart.


You should get over yourself about your voice. It's a really good voice, just not like it sounds in your own head. Next time, try taking more of a risk with it -- really sing out about something.

I think the harmonies and lyrics could use some polishing, and the lead guitar sounded really good for the first half of it but then didn't go anywhere.
