I never said it was my best. I don't think it is. I just thought it was sort of cool to see try and use no vsti stuff. I even did the snapping and clapping thing you suggested a few songs back. The big choir thing at the first was pretty fun to do. I stood about four feet from the mic at different positions, and panned them around. I think about 8 overdubs for each of the three parts. Same for clapping. 8 for clapping, and 8 for snapping. Thanks for the input greg. It's always nice to hear it.Sounds really good mix-wise, but I don't know if it's your best work. The Queen-ish intro was way cool, but then it went into "Jack and Diane" from John Cougar Mellencamp.
I did like it though. You are very talented young man.

I do have a very strong connection with the band. They have to be my favorite. The band who got me into music though was the eagles. I had a little drum set when I was about 4 or 5 years old, and I remember playing the drums alog with them watching the hell freezes over concert. My dad remembered me playing with desperado, and he said I didn't miss a beat on the snare. I got into they might be giants after I saw something they had done on late night with conan o'brien. It wasn't an all too great perfrmance, but enough to get me wondering aobut them. I picked up the album "The Else" (their newest to date) and was blown away by it. With each album I heard, I was blown away more. The funny thing is, I had been hearing them for years and not even knowing it on cartoon network. (courage the cowardly dog, dee dee and dexter) They are a great band, and even if I don't realise it, I guess they do influence my sound in a lot of ways. On a side note, I have never really tried anything with mic placement. I'm glad it worked. What is a sidebar by the way?
Thanks.Thanks!
Great. I have a nickname.Yey, it's the TMBG kid!
Yeah, this is an interesting track - I liked the claps and clicks too
...sorry I got carried away and then listened to your version of "3 Is the Magic Number" - excellent backing vocals...
Sorry, back to your new song - very TMBG start. The vocal sounds quite old this time and a little rawer, as you said...sometimes sounds like Axel Rose!
All in all, it's an interesting track.

I'm glad you liked 3. I did that one quite a while back. And Axel Rose? Wow. That's flattering. Thanks!
) and it is indeed well-executed, but I found it just ventured into too much of a mainstream sort of pop-rock territory once it got going. Totally subjective of course and I don't mean to be a downer or anything.
Performance and mix sound great to me as usual.
It kind of does sound like that doesn't it? But that was the point. I was trying to try something different, and in any case, I'm glad you somewhat liked it. Thanks!Hey propster!
I've given this several listens since you posted and I am torn. I love the idea behind it (I think I may've even requested that you go in a more raw direction - not sayin' you did it because of that - just sayin'
I guess I am just so used to your quirky, precise electronic arrangements that this may take some getting used to.
