Very good Robby... great song and production...
I like this a lot... Well done...

Thanks Frank.

Hey, Robby,
 
How's it going, buddy?
 
I actually posted about two paragraphs about this song four or five days ago (I think it was mix #3), but I went back and can't find my post anywhere.  Don't you just love this forum software sometimes?
 
Anyway, all I can say is that this new mix is excellent, and that the couple little issues that I had originally written about in my "ghost post" about some minor panning issues and some mud, are definitely fixed up nicely now!
 
Top-notch songwriting and arrangement, perfect vocals, rich instrumentation (love the strings), and you have a really great sounding mix!
 
Nice work, bro!
Bob

Due to working my bollocks off day and night, it looks like i missed the previous five mixes.

This track is your loudest and proudest yet. Everything is so clear and well separated.
The vocals as usual are goosebump inducing. How you have never been scouted is beyond my comprehension.

Love this very much Robby.
Mark.

Hey Mark, I'm glad you got a chance to listen :-) I just tweaked that piano a little brighter, and also cut it out for a bit so it's only guitar and vox just after the break. Maybe 2011 is the year I can sell one! Hope springs eternal :-)

Great tune, Great voice

Hey Robby,

Love the lyric and the feel of this song.

The middle solo is a bit laid back (mixwise) for me.

OK, I started out just trying to bump the lead guitar a little per Mark's recommendation? Then I was like, you know the snare could be brighter? Then I played with the limiter settings on the lead vox, and then all hell broke lose and I was like Dolly Parton trying to stuff those things in place...? I hope I didn't screw it up, really. I made a pant load of  changes? But most of them subtle, I think it's probably dun this time, Brooks and Dunn! Thanks to all who helped me make it better :-)

More individual comments to follow. Now I'm on to the new one. I'm doing "my first" Instrumental :-) As a singer? That's not easy... What's even harder? Is naming instrumentals... When I do songs, I always start with the hook? Which is the title? Like this one… “In time…” An easy one to name?

So with an Instrumental? How in the hell do you name it? I’m struggling… Right now I’m going with “Geese farts on a muggy day?” When I actually record and then post it? I may be looking for some help in the naming department…

Thanks again for hanging with me on “In time” I really like the way it turned out, it’s a pretty one :-) I didn't set out to be that guy? But I’m “that guy…”

P.S., I've just come to the current end of "an extremely stressful time..." Some folks, Janet and others know about it. We just went through another round of layoffs at work. I made it through "again..." 19 years... It was extremely stressful, I almost threw up this morning on the way to work actually? But I managed to dodge another bullet... Hopefully some nice quiet, stress free, time now... No legal problems, no layoffs... Just time to work on and enjoy my music and that of my friends. I'm looking forward to at lest a few months with less stress... I hope you're all doing well, or as good as you can anyway. That's all we can hope for.

Peace...

Finally getting a chance to check this out, Robby.
One word , "goosebumps".

Hey thanks Robert, I appreciate it. Hope everything is going well for you and your family. 

Good mix to start. The vocals are good but not sure about the effect on the vocals. Effects could be hiding the natural quality & tenderness of the vocal, too bright? Instruments are well played. Nice listen tonite.

Hmmm.... You're singing about your guitar, IIRC. Sounds really good, but I guess it should by the 4th page of comments - ( Now that's persistence !) I thoroughly enjoyed this. Great work!

  Not much to say, the music speaks for itself.  Sounds great!

FREAKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not sure what version I'm hearing or if there were other versions.

This is not a complaint, just a request, please don't take it any other way.

When the song ends, I think it would be cool to have a short pause or maybe a synth fade away, then a comeback lead guitar solo and then fade. LOL, your probably laughing at me for mentioning that. I'm terrible at explanations of ideas. Anyway, maybe you'll get it or maybe you wont.

Either way!!!!

BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bobby

Thanks Bobby, I welcome and consider any and all suggestions and recommendations, thanks very much for listening and for commenting :-) I'm' glad you liked it.

I do, however, wish you wouldn't post pictures like that in #104 in the forum)

Hey, Robby,
I hadn't seen this until today and I've missed all of the previous mixes. 

but this is really nice work.  mix sounds really good to me.  excellent playing and singing.  great work all around!

I really like this!

(I do, however, wish you wouldn't post pictures like that in #104 in the forum)

I hear you, I wish Jonboy would stop emailing them to me :-( Although I must say, he is a handsome man?

 Wonderful tune, I really enjoyed. Loved the vocals and solo.

Grant :-) Thanks very much for listening and for commenting! It's a pretty one...

Yeah, nothing you can't see at the beach, South Beach that is? If you've never been to South Beach Miami? You need to go... Just for the people watching. Some groups don't want you to be able to buy beer on Sunday? And if they had their druthers? You wouldn't buy it the other 6 days either... 

Other groups don't want women to go around without Berkas? Thank God we still live in a country that is still somewhat free... Remember, edgy and obscene are two different lines. I clearly linger around the 1st? However, never approach or cross the 2nd ;-) Freedom! Let it ring baby!! Censorship may seem like a good idea when you are of like mind with the censors? But what if you aren't? What happens when they right you a ticket (or worse...) because your woman isn't properly covered? They believe it VERY strongly... You don't? Tough! It's dangerous :-(


P.S., I'm on pain meds? So anything I say should be taken with a grain or two of salt.
