Red Rooster SONG - New Updated Version

I'm working on this song for a friend who I grew up with back in my school days . Back in the early eighties he went his way and I went my way and thirty years later we finally made contact with each other through facebook . His sister happen to see me on facebook and ask if I was so and so and I replied back with yes you have the right person and that's how we ended up talking to each other on the phone .
Anyway I created this song for him , it all started with him telling about this place called The Red Rooster in Vegas where he lived for many years .
Won't go into the details with this place he told me about but the whole story was sort funny so now everytime I call him I call him The Red Rooster ! LOL
Hoping for a few comments on my new song , working on lyrics now and plan on adding vocals to it sometime around the first of next month .

Well it was worth the wait, James.
Really nice atmosphere you have created.
Love the drums and sounds you have chosen to use. Great stuff.

Thanks Daryl for the listen and comments on my Red Rooster song .
I'm hoping to add lyrics and vocals to it soon

Thanks again , James

Thanks but not sure where your getting loops , everything you hear I created using no loops as you put it .
Maybe it sounds that way to you , I used Rapture to create some of what you hear and some other sequencer sounds but that's pretty much it .
Thanks for the comments , cheers !

Thanks MCi for the listen and comments , yea that rooster crowing sort has a frightening effect on the listener I guess . LOL
Right now I'm trying to wrap my head around some lyrics for Steves song I created for him but it's slow going right now , it's been years writing any lyrics or adding in my own vocals .
Have some ideals and how I want my vocals to sound , it's making it happen that counts .
Hopefully by mid May it will be completely finished for him , I talked to him from Florida where he lives with his daughter and grand child and he was asking me when is the song to be finished and I told him soon I hope but if you want I can mail you the music and he replied with I will wait so I guess I better get moving ! LOL

Thanks Rikkie for the listen and comments

Hey thanks Wookie , did you checkout my other new song called Betty Lu , thanks for the comments .

James

Listened a second time James, you've really made strides on your mixes and playing. I get it, it's groove music. 
 
Although I think this tune needs something, not sure, maybe a GREEN type of sound..... I'm pickled just thinking of what that sound might be......... 
 
LOL!!! I'm kidding man, Great work!!! Keep on keepin' on my friend!!! 
 
 
 

I really liked Red Rooster.
 
Betty Lu was nice, too, but there's some lo-fi grit going on in places. Maybe it's intentional and I'm showing my geezerdom, but if I heard that in one of my mixes I'd start soloing tracks to figure out if something was clipping. Can't hear it clearly enough to tell you which track it's coming from, but I hear it more in the left channel if that helps.
 
Good frequency balance on both tunes. So often material of this genre is overly bass-heavy, usually due to sub-par monitoring that forces folks to guess where the bass should be. Listening here on a full-range system, it's right where it should be.

I'd let the reverb on the initial rooster wash its decay into your track - it cuts off abruptly as you begin the song.
 
I'd like the rooster to be in the same room. 
Watch out for comb filtering.  :)
 
sounds good - I agree with Bapu on the reverb, it's a monsoon where a cloudburst might do. Still sounds cool, though.
 
cheers,
-Tom

Thanks for the listen and comments , might make some small changes in the next two weeks , see what happens , thanks James

Thanks for your listen and comments , so you know about that Red Rooster place in Las Vegas ! LOL
Yea I plan on adding vocals to it soon , I promise my best friend Steve I would have it finished with lyrics and vocals early next month .
The Chicken Ranch is the next best place to go if your into all of that stuff , not sure if I would ever go to any of those places but from what he was telling me those places are always busy , I wonder why ! LOL
