LITTLE ABBEY - LAST REMIX !

WHATS NEXT ! I was thinking about that now that the music is finished , I might start working with some lyrics & vocals for this music .
YEP you just never know what I might throw in here to spice things up a bit and hell it might be fun too .

Thanks for the LOVE & SUPPORT  - James

Has a nice spooky vibe to it - I like it.

Maybe hold it out until Halloween?

Sounds good James, if you could send me the track for the guitar without the FX on it I wouldn't mind seeing what I can add to it just to give you an idea as to what you might possibly be able to add to it. 

Sound good like it is, I'm just saying I know your having trouble with FX and I'd be more than happy to see if I could figure it out. That's the great thing with VST's and recoirding, you have the option using the raw sound of always changing things. 

Either way, I thought it sounded good, it's not easy I know. Sometimes inspiration takes over, sometimes hard work pays off and sometimes you just have to knuckle up and say ok this is what I've got for now I hope ya like it but if not I' can take the critics for my efforts and learning process.

Your getting there James, Learn every note on the guitar, that's my advice, when practicing scales hum them or say AH - EEEEE - or OOOOOOH- it helps with recognition and also can help your voice build if you wanna sing later on. I wish I would have done all that starting out playing the guitar. 

Either way, Keep up the good work buddy, just make sure and have some fun with what your doing from time to time and not be so serious on everything!!

Thanks Bobby , I'll contact you with your request . I'm doing the best I can learning on my own but hopefully after we move to Nashville,TN I want to start taking some guitar lessons right now I can't afford to spend the extra money on guitar lessons .
 
Thanks Buddy - James

James, you're making quick progress on the guitar.  I would rely less on the guitar effects and work on getting a nice strong guitar tone.  While the effects work with this excellent little vibe, they mask nuances that you might not develop if you are forced to work with guitar tone.  I'm not against effects, certainly I use compression and EQ and a little gain, but I run very few effects.  I'm not suggesting you go to my extreme, but in developing your guitar technique, learn the guitar tones first and your effects will sound even better.  I also find natural guitar tones to work really well with ambient backgrounds that are highly synthesized.  Good work.

Just an update , today I went back in deleted my recorded drums I recorded when I started this song and replayed it again .
This time I played a straight drum pattern in the first section and in the second section I added more tom fills in my pattern .

I also took alittle of the reverb out of my one guitar track and slightly adjusted the volume level in that track .

Thats about it , don't think there will be anymore updates unless I add vocals to it in the next two weeks or so .

Thanks for listening - James

Cool sounding track... I like it...

         Thanks for the heads up buddy ! I'm going to
         mess around with some vocals and see if I can't
         work some lyrics in . Not sure what but you never
         know untill you try .
 
         Thanks for the listen - James

Hi James.  It does sound a bit spooky but I get a bit of a different feel from it.  To me it sounds as if it could be background music for the opening scene in a spy thriller (JB style).  It has a cautious feel while building a bit of tension.  Just a thought -- but if the guitar or lead instrument were brought to the front a bit more and varied in gain it might build on this tension a bit more.
BTW, your guitar playing is coming along very well.
I particularly like the fact that you jumped right into the deep end of the pool and experimented around with this number.  You are not just treading water but swimming indeed.  Nice job!!

         Hey thanks Freddy , yea I'm glad I finally took the plunge buying a guitar .
         So far I'm having fun with this Gibson type guitar and trying my best to
         learn quicky with a few hours of practice per day . If I can keep it up in
         a few years I should water skiing across the pool WOW lookout for that 
         frog in the pool ! LOL
 
         Thanks for the listen and comments - James

Did you make some changes since my last reply James? Just wondering. It sound a whole lot better now in my opinion. Sounds like you got that GR4 problem figured out. The mix sounds a lot better also. 

This sounds like it would be a great music intro to a movie, or a movie scene where someone is going on a mission, or better yet a video game where you have movie scenes and missions. It has a broad range of potential in my opinion regardless of what you are going for. 

This is one I think you should try and do a video of, not just flight sims, but real pictures and real video, maybe something along the lines of what I just suggested if you can get rights to and find such video. It would be cool in my opinion. 

Either way, I think this sound great!! Good work man!! 

Bobby

         Thanks Bobby yes I did I went back and deleted the first recorded drum
         tracks and replayed them changing the drum pattern slightly . Then
         I backed off the reverb on my guitar tracks slightly and raise the volume
         up a tab .
         That was it , thanks for the comments - James

Hey James, can you send me the raw sound of your guitar without any effects or VST's added to it or turned on and maybe the MP3 of this, I'd like to see what I might can do to change your guitar sound around a little bit. Just for fun, I think it sound great already. 


Bobby I can do that but to be honest with you I like the sound I have and really don't want TWO different versions of my tune posted here or anywhere else .
If your doing it for your own fun thats great , anyway its your time . I thought you were working on a country song with vocals in it .

Come on Bobby lets hear some guitar country music , thanks for the interest and comments again .

James

Hey I did one more last remix , I went back in and tweeted my drum track making some ajustments on FX and with some drum volume levels .

I wasn't please with the last mix on my guitar tracks so I made some final adjustments on those two guitar tracks .
On my final remix of the entire song I made some more EQ ajustments .

This is it , no more remixes for this song YEA ! Think I will mess around with some vocal effects and maybe start a new electronic song project so I can drive Robby crazy ! LOL

Drink up CHEERS Robby because another song is heading your way OLD BUDDY ! LOL
