Bee Gee's remix5 - 1-15

It's a pretty major production? (from me? Noooo!)

I'm doing everything. The strings, flutes, harp are EW, the horns are EW and Mojo, the guitar is my PRS, the bass is my fretless Warwick. I did the drums (BFD2)

I was trying to upload it to my soundcloud page and my AV SW kicked it out and said "WARNING!" So I don't know what's up with them. I may try to send them an email inquiry... 

I really like the old (pre-disco) BeeGee's  

You handle this pretty good...... but dang,,,, that snare is horrid. setting over there to one side and sounding like slapping wet cardboard.... yikes!

You are knocking out that bucket list..... great song..... 

Ha, I forgot the BeeGees (shudder) did this. The version I think of is Michael Bolton's (shudder). Thank you for making this less fromage (french for cheese) for me. I enjoyed that.

Apparently Reverbnation is down right now, so I will get back to you later.

not offering crits today, just enjoying people's music...

nice rendition robby!  really enjoyed it.  one of my favorite oldies!

Other than the aforementioned snare, this was a great track and an even greater vocal... superb singing, really.  IMO- Much better than those Gibbs boys.

Great job Robbay. Snare doesn't bother me. I think everything fits just right.

 A few listens, once again you nailed it, made it yours, but to be honest that stereo snare I just don't know about. Everything else super

I realize that I enjoyed the pooch w/regard to that Snare. Unfortunately, when I was exploring options to fix it? I hosed the project up somehow... And it's going to take more time than I would like to invest to fix it :-( Lessons learned. I hope everyone has a prosperous and happy new year!

Next for me is a few colabs? And maybe I'll finish an original I've been playing with for 20 years.

Peace.

Ha! I worked hard on that bass :-) It's my fretless. I never thought I'd be able to play that thing. But now I play it much more than my fretted (Alembic) which is no slouch? The Alembic is required for some songs because of its sound.. I'm playing it on one that Markno999 and I have been working on since Rocktober. And he was a relentless task master about it too. No, that's not good enough, no, the strings can't ring like that, play it like this (sample) Took me "weeks..." until I cobbled it together in an acceptable fashion for him. But you have to respect someone who does what we do who is a true and demanding perfectionist. 

When it got to the chorus I remembered this track, you really sold it there and the emotion is carried.

Listening on crappy small speakers but it sounds good and the choice of instruments with their respective melodies sound excellent.

Really good rendition.

I heard disco was making a comeback   Great orchestration, good tones.  Good vocals as usual but I think they need a little more punch, they seem to be too far back to me.   The harmonies are good, they could come up a tad too, they sound good.

You would rule the lounge with this one!  Daryl

As usual, the vocals are great!

the mix is a bit of a mess and the midi strings sound a bit harsh, but that's just one opinion..

I loved it!!!!!!!!

:-) Good news! My mix was saved twice? One was hosed... The other? Well... I think I made it a lot better... I EQ'ed the vox, I added envelopes on the orchestra, I changed the overall limiter, I did a lot to it. I think it's better? But I am very biased..  I spent hours on it. It may have been better (for me) if I could not recover it.

Oh? And the snare? It sucks less :-D (I hope?) It's punchy? But it's not punching you in the side of your head? And it has more snap? And the drums overall are better (IMO) And the strings breath better? Along w/the whole orchestra. But again, I am very biased.. 

The new mix is up on my RN site @

It's funny, there is a difference between the two. The RN version is "smoother." But the SCloud version is a bit truer to my mix? The soundcloud version is louder and clearer.
