Happy Fourth Of July Everyone !

James, I think it was two weeks well spent.  You have given us a nice blend of sound and texture.  The chord progression and melody are super.  What I particularly like about the mix is the fact that it seems to have motion and depth.  Songs like this are so welcome.
 
Hey Thanks Lynn for the listen and comments , you made my fourth of July a good one this year thanks !
 
James

It sounds pretty good here. The bass could be dialled back a tad more (it was all I really noticed as slightly off in the mix), but its not overpowering, so could stay as is. I like the instrumentation, and as Lynn said, you have some nice progressions. Well done.

Thanks Shad I might just take the Bass back a notch , it was really over powering everything else in the song before .
After listening to it a hundred times over and over your ears go numb where your mind starts playing tricks on you . I took a nap and then listened to it again after I woke up and realize something doesn't sound right . Found out it was the bass track causing that sound that seemed to drown out some of the other things going on in the song so I lowered the volume on the bass track and that seem to clear things up in the mix .
 
Thanks for the listen and comments !
James

Agree with all of what's been said regards the mix, drum and bass volumes.  Ignoring that it is quite a pleasant tune.

Thanks for sharing.

Hello everyone , I went back and made some changes . I completely replayed my second verse replacing what I had in the other version I posted .
Then I lower the drum track volume and Bass track volume some more plus I remixed the whole song again before updating on Soundclick .

Thanks to everyone for your feedback and suggestions , hope you like it now .

James

 YES I lied , I said the song was finished the other day but today I listened to the song and thought hey I hate the opening cymbal crash sound and one other track was too loud so I went back in again and fixed those areas .

Its now totally totally finished , honest I tell you no lies ITS FINISHED this time YEA BABY its finished , hey no tears I know you will be pleased with it now  !!
I mean what the hell I have so many listening friends around here , thank God for Lynn's set of ears and comments and a few others here .

Anyway I know your glad its finally finished , time to work on another song whatever that might be .

Thanks to all my friends on this forum , so much for the HEAT right ! Oh yea its freaking hot where I live now , 94 today YIKES I'M MELTING !

Lynn


Wait a minute, you left out a note in measure 37, didn't you? LOL  Alrighty, it's finished, and now you have to top it.  It sound like, to me, we work alike.  I'm afraid to walk away from a song for more than a few minutes, lest I hear something new and have to remix.  One of the hardest jobs a self producer has is to know when to call it quits.  In this case, I think you've done an excellent job.
 
 
Hey Lynn I think we do , sometimes it takes a hundred listens before you can call it a done deal unless your a trained professional music producer who knows his crap-o-lowwwwwww better know a Sheet ! Can't spell it on the forum so lets just call it Sheet , anyway when things still smell bad then you need to start flushing untill it smells right if you get where I'm coming from . Sounds like we have something in common , fix it -fix it and fix it untill its 100% right !
 
Thanks again for the heads up , I feel really good about the final remix this time and I'm SUPER happy I figure out a way to create my own guitar lead . I'm not putting Scotty down or anyone elses lead guitar playing down but my guitar synth lead using my keyboard turned out pretty dam good and sounds as good as the real thing ALMOST ! Sorry if I sound like I'm bragging alittle bit but I have to say I'm really happy with the song . I think its my best song so far and thats because I was finally able to create my own guitar lead on my keyboard .
Its nice when you can do everything yourself , thanks again Lynn for your support and advice .
Hey I'm trying to find a kick-ass fiddle , know where I can find one ? Not a real one but a synth fiddle , I need something that sounds like a real fiddle thats what I'm going after next .

Love the track. Hate the whiny synth. Well, I don't hate it alltogether. Just, too much of it. 13 seconds was enough.
 
Sorry about the guitar synth , I can't get my money back on it ! LOL Yea I wanted to add a nice sounding kick butt fiddle but haven't found one to work with so I was stuck using one guitar synth that happens to be my best one out of all of them .
Keep listening to it , it gets better after 50 times ! LOL
 
Thanks ! James

I've only heard the "final" remix.

Sounds good here. No crits from me.
 
Thanks , the guitar synth I'm using isn't that bad . If I knew how to play a real electric guitar I would play it the same way but I don't have a real guitar or play one . My guitar synth is a good replacement and doesn't sound bad at all .
 
Thanks for the comments on my new tune !

Very cool.  I liked the bass at the level on my speakers.   - Daryl
 
Thanks Daryl for the comments , wish it was cool here but its HOT ! To make matters worse my engine belt on my Ford Thunderbird shredded in half leaving me without wheels untill I can get it fixed for around $400.00 , SUCKS !
Thank God it happened at home and not out on the road with a car load of food , I got up early and drove to WalMart for a months worth of food so in a way I was lucky I didn't end up stuck with a car load of cold and frozen food sitting in my car .
 
Oh well guess I'll have to call the tow truck tommorrow and haul it to the shop to get fixed .
 
Thanks for dropping in Daryl - James

Hi, James,
 
Nice job on this tasty, smooth, ambient electronica song!  Lots of nicely flowing elements and progressions with a laid back rhythmic beat and a crystal clear, great sounding mix.
 
Great work, James!
Bob
 
Hey thanks Bob for the listen and comments on this tune , hope your having some good luck with your new album .
Not sure what my next project will be , right now I'm working on a new drum track for that upcoming music project .
 
Thanks again , take care buddy !
James

Hey James!

I like this a lot! Great job on this. A kick butt fiddle, eh? Interesting that you would think of that. I can hear a middle eastern style violin playing in there.
 
Thanks Scotty ! Hey your the expert on Violins , is it possible to produce that same sound and feel using a synth volin and a keyboard ?
Alittle late in the game for this tune but maybe in another song project down the road , I will have to keep looking and experimenting . Sooner or later in months or years I will figure all that out , thanks for your comment and heads up on this tune .
 
Cheers !
James

This is nice. Kind of like ELP meets Ace of Base.

Well done! It sounds good here.
