<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Hi Murph...
Man, always glad to see feedback here. I don't think of myself as a 'moderator' here... [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] , but I do try to give feedback when I can. Lately I haven't had enough time to listen to everything, so it's good to see when you and others do...
thanks, Roy

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
 

well then, this evening the central air at my studio crapped out. of course i had been planning on working on a bunch of projects tonight! sooooo what did i do? i came home and listened to the music on this thread. i think its been 3 or 4 pages since i last listened so here it goes - i took notes and will try to decipher what i wrote!

roy howell you ole son of a buck, when are you going to learn how to sing? [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] sorry, i cant think of any other critisisms. how come you are not a millionare from your songs yet? (moonbeam dancer)

archtop- hey i didnt know you did electric! nice recording, cool song, i like it (PUG)

IntelDoc and Chris Cavell- i really wanted to hear the songs but none of the links worked for me. well everybody else seemed to like them, so great job anyway! [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

ee99ee- i liked it- rock and roll baby! did you go to the kurt cobain school of vocals? i couldnt understand a d@mnn word you were singing! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] it doesnt matter, i still like it. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] i would say that the kick was hard to hear, its just kind of a thud. i do like the loud gtr, but i think the overall drum sound could be "bigger" to fit with the style of music. i looked at your website and saw an svt3 pro and svt cabs. same setup as me. i also read that you recorded the bass direct for the song. i have been using a sans amp bass di pedal for my bass tracks. using (basically) the svt setting, i get a better sound with it than actually micing the svt cab. anyway, good job.

badperson- very van morrison/grateful dead kinda combo 70's vibe. good job, i like it!

brdst- another 70's kinda feel IMO, i really liked the vocals.

gene backlin- you posted this before, right? WELL I still like it, nice dreamy kinda vibe.

mr seven- good recording, nice groove, good song, good job.

reniur- i think i listened to this song awhile back, it was a rough mix you had posted somewhere else? anyway, the mix really came a long way since then and i think the mastering really tightened it all up. good job.

brian/kris whitten- sucks. . . j/k . nice growly bass, its a thumpin' song! i was a little bummed around 2.00 when it dropped out, but it came back in full force. keep up the good work. BTW, i really think those mac made tracks improve brian's overall sound quality! [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

i am out!

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">I feel your pain. My air just got fixed on tuesday after a solid week without it (I don't know exactly how hot it wasin my house, my thermostat tops out at about 92).

Thanx for the kind words on tha mixes [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] it was a labor for how little went into it. I did post some rough mixes a few months back. I had also posted the one I played cello on (Escape), so I added that one to the page. I made it as big as I could (10.1 mb) because I couldn't stand to lose the cymbals. It's still an mp3, tho. Escape is one of my favorites of theirs, and I think it has a wider appeal, being a more ballady rock tune. I know the cellos are a bit low, but they are more for texture. Also, for the first 2 verses, I'm playing 2 different parts, then after that, all my takes are the same line. I know it's not a complicated part either, but I think a busy melody would have really cluttered things.

Anyway, sorry for the big file

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Hey you may never see this b/c you posted this song way back in October of '02, but this song is awesome. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Roy,
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">OK, so I use the term loosely...
You have been so well organized and helpful with so many people on this thread, that you deserve some sort of title...how 'bout "Thread Host" or "Referee"...??

Gene,

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">I did notice that in the middle...I really meant overall (mostly at beginning section)...and that sound is very unique...I know I said synth, but if that is truly a guitar sound, that's very impressive! Very creative sound.
Nice work!

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Kris,
I thought that same thing (sweep) when I heard it,I did'nt suggest 'cause your stuff sound's so great and it's a opinion/preference type of thing, when I read Murphs reply
I felt I should chime in with a big OH yeah !

I feel this thread's greatness is in the comment's,must have comment's yes most definatly need comment's.
were all from different camps musically and that's what makes it so cool. exposure to other types of music is good.

Bill:
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">The instrumentation (orchestral strings), bass line and percussion beat are keyboard synth. All the rest are guitar, intro with amp's chorus effect, lead with amp's gain settings and a bit of acoustic lines sparingly, introducing theme to lead guitar so it can take it later on its own.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">I will definitely experiment with it. It make sense, and as I stated before, I appreciate the feedback because this is all a learning curve for me. I am not a spring chicken anymore, but I am having the time of my life !

Thank you once again for your ideas and feedback, it is greatly appreciated !

Take Care,
Gene
