My first post back in 2008!

This was my first recording and song I posted on this forum back in . . ."2008".  Funny how my recordings haven't got any better.

Original song "FALLIN"

    Noooo, They have gotten MUCH better! I remember your 1st post. And I remember the shizzy you caught? From me (unfortunately) and others? Because well all thought you were like a pro? Because you had your VOXBOX logo? LOL!

    Hey Kev,

    I think 2008 was before my time here but this a really cool song so I'm glad for the chance to hear it now.

    Love your guitar on this...bongos ( or congas ), too!  Thanks for posting this.

    And, you did design a cool logo

    Hey, Kev,
     
    I don't remember this one either, but it's really a very cool song!
     
    I love the vocals and harmonies, and also agree with Gary about the great sounding guitar work on this, and your drums have always been dynamite.
     
    Really good stuff, Kev, thanks for reposting, have a good one!

    Wow, Kev, this is cool.  That's about when I first posted here too.  I don't remember this so I'm glad you posted it again because I really like it.  This direction is just wonderful.  You have your own sound like RickNoHow.  Speaking of him, I haven't heard him for awhile.  Oh, Kenny's right hand shows on my screen.  LOL  I love this tune, Kev!!!!

    The first song I was on here (but did not post the entry) was in one year later (July 2009).

    TBH until then I was not really listening to songs in this forum.


    Cool song Kev.

    Hey Kev I just had to drop in and checkout this song , don't remember this one . This one sounds  cool ! Your vocals have always been admired by me because they are always clear and up front in your mix .
    As for first songs I think all of us at sometime have looked back and listen to our own earlier recording .
    I did that last week thinking man these songs sounded really bad but then again much of what I recorded back then when I first started and maybe most of us can honestly say everything has to start somewhere .
    I believe most of us have made some great improvements along our own musical journey over the years , I hear it in your music and many other people who post their music here on this forum .

    Nice song , always great in my ears - James

    Hey MIKE . . .
    I was thinking the same thing about your last mix.  I said,"One day I'll get the dynamics out of my acoustic guitar recording that Mike gets".   THANKS always for your ears and help.

    I love this song.  I'm reminded of the Finn Brothers or Crowded House.  It's good to have this in the back of my mind when I listen to your projects in the future.  Way cool.

    All the best,

    Hey Kev
    Wow I looked at your studio pic and my mouth is drooling !!!!!!!!!!  :-)
    Anyway.. :-)
    Loved this track.Its you singing right ? Like it,and I like the way guitar answers the vocal lyrics.The incidental voice samples are brilliant,right up my street.My only crit is the drums and bass feel too far at the back.
    Nice work !

    THANKS for the visit Kev!
    My first recording ever so I pretty much just sang/played the instruments and adjust the faders.  EQ, compression I didn't even know what the hell that would do to my mix.   Sometimes I think the simpler the better.  THANKS again for the props!
