  • My third ballad - a bit sappy - I admit. "Let's Stay Together." (new mix) (p.2)

Mark and Dan, that was the same comment I got the last ballad I did. On that one I used the 335 for both tracks. So, I changed it up on this one - used the PRS for the background guitar and the 335 for the lead. I guess it didn't work. I'll have to work on it. I'll post another version later.
 
Thanks for the comments.

You play with such feeling, it's great.  I pictured myself..alone drinking a bourbon on the rocks in a Holiday Inn in Saigon.

Hi Mark,

Lovely playing

And not sappy at all!

Cheers

eph - thanks man - Holiday Inn in Saigon - that works - appreciate the comment.
 
synkroton - I appreciate the though - I'm not used to doing songs like this - I did about fifty tunes with Warren Willingham that were rock and blues tunes.
 
I've got a new version up - I went back and looked at my project file and for some reason I mixed a version and posted it here that didn't have any effects - no eq, nothing. I hope this is better.
 
Thanks all.

I wish I was so versatile...

Listening again. Is this the new mix? My ears are crap... The "backing" guitar sounds a touch "closer..."

Do both guitars go through the same reverb?

Nice to listen again anyway... Should be a sleepin' though... Nearly 2:00 am here in the UK!!

Yea synkrotron - this is the new mix. Each track has different reverb - I was trying to get the two tracks to sound so similar - they should sound a lot different. I hope so anyway.
 
Thanks synkrotron.

I'll be honest... I could listen to this on a beat up sixties transistor radio​... It's the playing that sounds so good here.

That's not to take away from your​ mix, of course, I'm not really qualified to comment on that aspect , except that it sounds totally fine to my ears.

cheers
