Bye Bye Baby Bye Bye

Here is some more silliness from yours truly.  As the description on the SoundClick site says, there are no social commentaries on this number.  It is just meant to be a fun little song about a hapless guy with a cheating woman (a well worn subject).
 
I would appreciate any feedback that you might have.  I hope you enjoy it.

Nice bluuuuuuesy number. You have a cool song with great chops, and some super heavy slapback! Vocals totally work for me. It has a roadhouse feel and I like the mix a lot . . .
 
I think I may have commented before on how Soundclick flanges up your cymbals? I think once you solve the flangey cymbal issue, your stuff will really slay 'em. Or, it's possible that you intentionally put a flanger on your cymbals, in which case nevermind!
 
the guitar seems pretty pushed up, maybe limited or super compressed? I can hear a little crunchy digital overs in a few spots.
 
nice one!
 
cheers,
-Tom
 
 
 
 

Thanks Daryl!  I appreciate your comments and have taken your advice and brought up the bass a bit.
Hi Tom and Wookiee.  Thanks for listening and for your comments.  Between my tired old ears and cheap equipment, I miss a lot of the nuances that I should catch.  I used a commercial loop for the drums and it was gassed up pretty high --- so, I pulled out the file and substituted another loop with the same beat but without the FX.   I also changed the EQ around the 15 kHz level.  I hope that this helps.  Thanks again for your insight!

Great stuff. I expected another song by a similar name to emerge, but this was better, a pleasant surprise. Mix was good, perhaps needs louder a bass but I am not sure with my lofi equipment (Sennheiser hd407s).

Great job with this.  I liked it more and more as the song played out.  I especially liked the cool, "Talking Heads," sounding pre-chorus.  I'm a bass player so I would like to hear the bass more active but that's just me.  The bass on the pre-chorus when you're doing a run off the B chord is great!  Love that.

Yeah, you've got a knack for this lyrical blues thing!   Clever stuff and well done.
 
I also liked the slap-back delay along with the tone of the guitars, they seem to just fit.  The only mix thing I might change is to pan the vocal harmonies away from the lead vocal at center. 
 

Freddy, you're still one of my favorite bluesmen. I can't believe the number of songs you've completed since I last visited. Have you finished and released an album? Great work. I listened to the top 7 songs on your list, and conclude that you are simply a ton of fun.

Thanks Allan.  I have added a bit more volume to the bass.  I hope that helps a bit.  Thanks again!
 
Hi Kakku.  Thanks for your comments and suggestions.  You equipment must be OK  as  I have received other comments concerning bass volume.  I have cranked it up a bit more.  Thanks!
 
Thank you James.  I'm glad that you enjoyed it.
 
Hi John.  Thanks for listening and commenting.  I appreciate it.  I wish I could do more with the bass but I am not a bass player (but I try).  For that matter, I am not much of a 6 string player but I have fun messing around with this stuff.  It is excellent therapy.
 
Hey Mesh.  Thanks for the feedback.  Ya, I like to have fun with music and I had some fun with this one.  I "upped" the bass on this one and hopefully it is a bit better now.
 
Hi Steve.  Thanks for the kind words and feedback.  I appreciate your suggestion and did put a little "pan distance" between the vocal and harmony.  I thinks that clears them up a bit.
 
Hi Tom - how are you?  I appreciate the kind words.  Ya, I did have fun!  Thanks.
 
Hey Mark.  Thank you for your very kind comments.  I appreciate it!!  I wouldn't say that I play harmonica.  I would, however, say that I play at it.  There is a difference -- mostly knowing what you are doing vs. trial and error. 
I certainly would try and do a track for you with the understanding that there should be no expectations of cogent results (lol).
