new song demo- 1st draft
https://www.dropbox.com/s...20goin%20down.wav?dl=0just one verse, one bridge, one chorus... that's all i got. ideas? i can go either way with this one. i can keep it acoustic, and give it a more pop treatment (i'm really intrigued by this proposition) or i can rock it up and make it a batsbrew tune. the one cool thing about this one is, i used my brand new RME Babyface interface to do this whole thing.... at 96k, my first foray into higher sample rates. this is a lightly mastered file. dithered to 16bit/44.1khz

I like the acoustic sound of this bats, but I definitely think it would be better with a rhythm section. Kind of like a Days Of The New thing, but better.  Nice idea though. Sounds good.

Acoustic. All the way. Sounds nice and stripped down which creates a great break for your other tunes in a "album" context. Love that acoustic solo work in there; has that old school feel, sitting around in the studio burning a fattie with the band after a long night.
Just my two cents...and I did hear the hook on this one.

Love the acoustic work. Work in progress (?) and I like the way it's going.

you know, i did something REAALLLLLY WEIRD with this tune... i recorded the two main acoustic rhythm guitars, and the solo guitars, with my ksm44 pointed backwards in cardoid pattern, towards the room, and jacked up my input gain, and basically recorded the sound of the room, instead of the guitars!! LOL just experimenting...... i hear you, days of the new, i can hear that.

the hook is yet to be determined, and i imagine, whichever section i decide to make 'the chorus' will be repeated ad naseum until it becomes the hook. LOL big cats, i'm talking about all this sh!tty politicians, of course.

i can totally hear an all acoustic version.. do you hear how the meter runs away with me with no rhythm section..!!? LOL again..... starts out mellow and groovy, ends up steam training.....

hey john, yes, i'm just starting on this one, haven't even finished writing a lyric yet..... i just had an idea for a verse, chorus and bridge, but don't know which is which yet. once i figure out an arrangement, i'll finish writing lyrics, and try to decide how to present it... as a hard rock kind of thing, turn it into a more pop arrangement with pop sounds, or keep it purely acoustic.

I know it's a WIP, but I also like the acoustic feel. What I'm hearing is perhaps a bit of that Extreme acoustic rock thing... bass and some percussion, but not a full out band piece.

yea, that'd be an obvious way to do it, i'd slow it down a bit... i'm also intrigued by the idea of all acoustic first verse, full band rest of song, finish acoustic.. kinda like i previously did on my vegas song "the strip"

This may sound weird but when listening to this stripped down WIP, I got kind of an early Paul McCartney feel to what you posted. I think it was the acoustic guitar (George?) and the harmonies which sounded a wee bit Beatle-esque to me. That might be an interesting direction to take this number ---no?

Hi ,
Just to mention that drop box does not work well here. Cannot access the files...
What about a soundcloud link?
Cheers.

freddy, that's a pretty interesting read on it, hadn't thought about that at all.... i guess for it do be more beatley, i'd have to add one more harmony def an inspiration, the beatles, they were

I am glad to be able to hear your singing voice. No doubt you will continue to work on this piece. Keep those vocals up front a little more, I have always felt that you needed to push those a bit more. Your guitar palying will shine through no matter what, it is that good. Good luck, I look forward to the next iteration.

Bats, you have a great voice. It is very rockish. I wish I could produce the vocals for you, but I would have to be in the studio, and I doubt that will ever happen. Let it hang out man. You'll get it in there right.
