"Little Lost Star" NEW...and unfinished...

OK...my sob story....worked on this tune for a year on and off. I got a lot farther with it that what I'm posting up. Before I got a chance to transfer it, I lost all my project files.

There's a lot going on with this...and in spots it's pretty easy to pick out the "sketches" and the final parts. PLEASE ignore the end...there's 10 different directions with nothing muted. I was trying to carry out the core melody in an anthem style, just never got it right before the project was lost.

Anyway, SM57 and AT4050 were the mics used with the exception of the spanish guitar Which I did with an SM81 (it was a $80 new Chinese cheapo guitar). I play all the stuff

Oh, almost forgot....loosely based on the rise and fall of Lindsey Lohan...lol

    Hi Ron - is there any way you can reconstruct the tracks? It would be a real shame if this piece was never finished as there is a great song waiting to emerge. OK, there is a lot of work to do with the mix to get the clarity and warmth into the sound but it would definitely be worth doing. The potential in this song is huge. If you can, I strongly recommend you give this song the opportunity it so richly deserves.

    I agree with malcomb this is excellent, but would say that it is too busy and needs cleaning up, hard to hear vocals at times and the drums are doing just too much at the start. The melody and harmonies are sick good! Oh did I mention that acoustic guitar breakdown,beauty.

    Terrific song! It's harder than it looks to be unpredictable, but you pulled it off. A song with this many elements in it can be a bear to mix, but what satisfaction when you get it done. I hope to hear this done again in the near future.

    All the best,
    Lynn

    I have a lot of material to record...so it may be a year or two before I start to reassemble this one!

    At the time it went poof, it was over 120 tracks! Bear in mind though, there was a lot of stuff I recorded but didn't use. If I were to redo it as is, it'd probably be in the 40-50 track range.

    Definately hard to mix big projects like this!

    Styx meets CSNY.

    Ron, your stuff is always intriguing, but I don't recall ever hearing a finished piece. Your stuff is so rich is should be polished and out there for all to enjoy.
