Oyster Of Life - REMIXED 8/6 with new intro and outro

Sounds great Lynn but wheres the intro section , it sort jumps right into the music . The start of your tune almost sounds like I picked out a spot somewhere in the middle of the verse and started playing it .


I like it , has a nice vibe about it sipping a cool marty on the beach !LOL

This is real upbeat and energetic. I like it! GP's suggestion of phaser on the vox is a good one. I think it would top it off nicely.

I like this quite a bit...and love the title.  I get a lot of cinematic ideas from this, would be great soundtrack material.  Nice work!

Hi Lynn,

Cool song. Solid song.

Loved the lead synth and the melody passage at 1:07 for e.g 

The guys are right the intro is to abrupt, even a synth faded in slowly from soft to loud, ending on a crash of beat 1 would be better me thinks.

Regards,

Cian

great lyrics....good vibe...enjoyable Lynn! (Somebody said to me once "Time has no meaning to me...".

Lynn, loved the title and the energy in the song! My eight year old son Anurag also loved it. Keep it coming!!

Shawn, thanks for you kind comments and your new wedding song, "Lovemamba".  

John, there's a new intro on the horizon, and I agree about the vocals needing to come up.  As for the ending, I have so many songs that fade out that I was looking for an abrupt ending to go between two songs that fade out for a little change.  Thanks for participating in this production, and peace to you, as well.

Kaushal, it's a pleasure to know your son liked my song and to know that someone in Asia is listening.  Thanks for taking the time to listen and reply.

Pete, I'm of two minds in regard to your comments.  First, I want to apologize to you for offending your ears and wasting your time.  Second, I want to give you my humble thanks for giving me the courage to go back to my day job without feeling guilty ;)

Nice one Lynn. My only crit is the 'cut like a knife' line. It's probably a personal thing. I just think it's way over used. Nice tune.

No crits here. Thanks for sharing Lynn. Like the bass lines.

Robby, I just love oyster, too.  As for the synth and strings, I'm not crazy about them anymore, myself.  I'm going to try some different textures in those parts.  I'm never sure about the snare volume because some like it hot and some don't.  Thanks for contributing to this song.

Tim, thank you for your compliment.  Darn that Bryan Adams!  He stole my line before I knew what was happening.  I could have gone with "cuts like a wife", but then someone would have said I was ripping off Lorena Bobbit.

Freddy, thanks for the comments about the lyrics.  As stated earlier, the intro is going to evolve.

Ed, thank you for the comments, especially about the bass line, as I know that is your specialty.

Rikkie, you're right on about the volume of the acoustics.  I was afraid of them being too loud since they are doubled, but I will bring them up in the next mix.

Again, I want to thank all of my coproducers for your time and help.

Terry, thanks for the suggestion.  I like your idea about the intro a lot, and it makes sense to reduce it rather than expand it.  This is the kind of ideas that I love to hear.  I love the beginning to your new album, btw.

Hi Lynn,
 This song groove seems really solid but I do sort of agree that the synth seems somewhat out of place.

 How about a Tijuana Brass type approach where the synth becomes some horn section stabs? The song already has a border music feel... maybe some horns?

 Anyways, I usually refrain from saying stuff like that... but I really like the rhythm section groove you have going and I'm hearing horns in my head. :-)


 all the best,
mike

Lynn, this rocks..  I like it a lot.  I find myself listening to it again and again.  Trying to learn from the mix, and the way you have your drums and bass here.  Also the warmth and wideness, and where your bass is.  The other percussive elements are something I've been trying to do with my stuff for a long time.  What really gets me is how all these instruments come through so clearly, and nothing is too loud, or too quiet.

I like the synths and snare...  I guess we all have different ears.

Laters..

this is outstanding Lynn... really fine songwriting and playing...
I'd like to hear an intro and ending though... Very well done...

sounds good but something is missing. some effect sounds delorian inside of d-pro maybe. you have played some breaks but you didn't care enough. the second break starts up too early try to play it abit longer. (only some milliseconds). all in all a very good work.
