One Fine Day - Featuring Daryl1968 on Vocals
This is a song I wrote and played everything except the vocals on, I also programmed the drums because I am not a drummer, I asked Daryl1968 if he would add vocals to the song and he did. I think Daryl's vocals turned out GREAT on this song! This is my first time ever mixing using Sonar Platinum. I hope you enjoy hearing it. Special thanks to Bapu/ED for taking the time to listen to this and offer advice on mixing this, that was very much appreciated and I hope my mix makes him proud because I tried my best to follow it. Thank you Daryl, your vocals sound GREAT! I hope others enjoy hearing this as much as I did recording it and hearing it now. Happy Holidays everyone!

Thank's man, that means a lot. Thank you for taking the time to listen. It means a lot to me that people get the meaning of the song. Words and music can make for a better day and fit well together. Many times in my life I have listened to others songs feeling sad and they cheered me up. That was what I was hoping for with this song. Thanks again for taking the time to listen and reply. Bobby

Lurvely job gents.
Thank you bapu, for your help and advice, not just now but over the years on these forums, and on this song. Thanks for taking the time to listen and listen and let me know what I was doing wrong and I hope I got it fixed. :-) Thanks again! Bobby

Thank you Mesh for the kind comments. I did my best at the time, this is my first mix with Sonar Platinum and I am by no means no professional at all on mixing or playing music, I just write my songs and roll with it. I must say, without Daryl adding vocals to this song it probably would not have happened and I can't thank him enough because even though I try sometimes to sing, I have too many problems just talking sometimes. It was all about remembering the good times, Fine Day's you might say. Thanks again for taking the time to listen and reply. That means a lot. Happy Holidays! Bobby

Thank you Daryl! Without you, I don't think this song would have happened. You are a really great singer, musician, songwriter. Thank you for taking the time to help and add vocals on this tune of mine. I thought this turned out sounding great with your vocals! Thanks again! Happy Holidays! Bobby

I love the song and the structure. Listening on Bose Companion 5 speakers. IMHO, I think the mix needs some work. The vocals are very thin and non present in the mix. The reverb is further taking away from the clarity of the vocal. The rest of the mix is also thin and harsh to my ears also and could use some warmth applied to it.

Thanks Scotty, I will give it another try on the mix, I'm not a mix master or nothing like that. After a while of listening to things for me at this time it all sounds the same to me. But then again I'm not a professional by no means. I'll see if I can figure out what your talking about with the mix, if you have any suggestions I am wide open to them. I am now using Sonar Platinum, so if you have any recommendations on any settings with Breverb or anything like that, or Reverb in general, I'm just working with my ears and turning some knobs on the settings. Dry/Wet etc.... By thin do you mean, Low end sounds being cut out for clarity, or medium? Just wondering, Thanks again for taking the time to listen and reply and the advice, I'm going to remix this, even though I really don't know from a professional point of view what I am doing, I do have my ears and am trying to learn. Thanks again Scotty! Happy Holidays!

What a downright pleasant song. It has a lot to offer: uplifting lyrics, memorable melody, and instrumentation that complements it all. The only suggestion that I could offer is maybe some harmony in the choruses.
I really enjoyed this number. Thanks for posting!

Thank you Freedy J, this is the first time I ever mixed somebody else adding vocals, so I still have a lot to learn. There are actually some choruses there, but I guess I didn't have the volume levels loud enough. I'm going to try and remix this one here in a few days based on everyones advice. Some people like more reverb, some like less, some like louder things while others don't. I'm no mixmaster and new to Sonar Platinum and all the goodies it offers, some things I have no idea about and am going to have to try and am still figuring things out. I'm not a song mixer, I just do this for myself and the music I like to make up. Thank you for the kind comments on the song, that means a lot, that was my thought when I wrote the song. I like to create songs with a more positive tone to them. Thanks again for taking the time to listen and comment, and also, I just noticed I typed your name wrong in my reply to you in one of your recent songs you shared, I am fixing this now, sorry, no disrespect meant at all. Always enjoy hearing your music, you play the real stuff and that's what I like to hear. Happy Holidays! Bobby

Wow! You have a way of playing that guitar Bobby I just love! Great rhythm guitar as only you can play it.
Everything sounds great to me. Daryl's voice is the perfect compliment to the lyrics! What a sound!

By "thin", I mean cut out some highs from 2k on up. The vocals seem to be too wet.

I enjoyed the song - it has a good hook. I thought the drums sound fine, so good job there. I really liked the rhythm guitar - sounded nice to my ears. Nice job on lead vox - sounded like a phaser or chorus was on it. Overall a well constructed song.

Hi Bobby,
I listened on headphones. Great song.
Mix-wise, I'm wondering how you have treated the bass. Maybe some setting on some plug-in is set to "nuke" ? I think if the bass were perhaps a little less compressed, limited, saturated, chorused - I'm not sure what you have done here - it would use less energy/headroom and there would be more left over for the upper frequency instruments (like vocals) to shine through.
Keep in mind I listened on headphones, but if things are boomy down to the 100hz or so they give me, I bet they're boomy below that.
What ya got going on the bass?
cheers,
-Tom

I'm still trying to find a good setup and sound for my Bass. I'm not a bass player, I just play my bass to finish my tunes. Or what I am trying to say I guess is, I'm still learning what I need to do with my own sounds. Happy Holidays! THANK YOU! Bobby
