My Sweet Little Angel - Update!

TomJeff,

I like this one. It has a nice flow and the guitar part (or is that a keyboard synth guitar part???) peeks the interest. I felt the vocals were a bit too muddy and hard to understand. It had a little bit of a Fastball feel to it (mainly in the vocal).

My only suggestion would be change up the parts when you are entering/exiting a chorus so the listener has a better feel for when that happens.

OK, I lied... one more. Lay a real bass down rather than the synth sounding bass you have on the song at the moment.

Good song.

Tom

Cool tune Tom - liked the arrangement. I agree that the drums and the bass levels need a bump up. I had trouble hearing your vox as well.

I liked the tones of the electric piano (from the Yamaha MM6?) and the electric guitar.

Nice tune! It sounds like the synth lead is a bit too loud and the vocals were hard to hear. I liked the lyrics I could hear.

Tyacko - Thanks for the listen and the comments. The guitar parts are keyboard guitar run through Line 6 Gearbox software. I know what you mean about the transition between the verse and the chorus. The first vocal part of the chorus sounds like the verse and it is confusing to everybody but me. Can't everybody read my mind? I want to redo the vocals anyway and will probably make the difference between the verse and the chorus more distinct. My wife said, "I can't hear the vocals," and I said, "What do you mean? I can hear every word." As far as the real bass goes, I would have to take my Musicman Sabre out of mothballs. Am I ready for that yet?

No How - Thanks for listening. I want to redo the vocals, record them clearer and bring them up. I was trying to drown out the sound of an air conditioner. I drowned out myself instead. I am so new to this vocal thing. It's a lot of fun though. I am going to bump up the drums and bass a little. Your comments are much appreciated.

Taylor_514C - Thanks for listening and I'm glad you liked it. Yeah, I love my MM6. Vocals, drums and bass all going up. Thanks for the comments.

Drumstixkev - Thanks for listening to my song. I'm glad you liked it. What? You can't hear the vocals and the bass? I greatly appreciate your comments.

Mamabear - I'm glad you liked my tune. I will play with the volume on the synth solo. When I redo the vocals and make them brighter, maybe you will like more of the lyrics. Thanks so much for listening and commenting.

Tcaylor - LOL! I love "Hard to Handle" by the Black Crows. I didn't even think of that. I just grabbed a nice pattern from EZ Drummer. You're right, though. The verdict is in. The vocals need to come up. Thanks for listening and I'm glad you liked it.

Yeah...ditto on the levels things previously mentioned.

I like to use sound fonts for bass rather than synth basses. Check my web site for some font info & links.

TomJeff,

I think you've got something really good here. I caught myself humming that guitar hook all day long.

Hi TomJeff,

Pretty impressive for a first recorded tune. Really nice interplay between the guitar and piano.

To my ears, both the voc and drums need to be louder.

I listened to the old mix... Check out the updated version... I'm pretty sure the file is corrupted and you need to re-upload.

Peace,

Ian
