"It's a Doozy" another Janet and Rik production remix 10-13

Well, I like it. :)

I saw it on soundcloud before coming on here... and was wondering if it was another J&R production.

I like the music and the way the piano and guitar interleave. On my laptop speakers the rhythm sounded almost like a basic click track but that's probably just my laptop.

How many of these have you got to come?

Cheers,
Terry.

Very nice performance indeed - by both of you.  Very nice complementary interplay between piano and guitar.  The drums sounded as if they were panned a wee bit to much to the right rather than center (but maybe this was intentional -- if so, that's cool) but then again that might just be my crummy equipment.
Nice one!!!!

Obviously not my genre.  But very pleasant and soothing just the same.  I can tell you've both been in the music game a while.  Guitar and piano go very well together.  Very nice!

Hi Freddy ,thanks for listening, will have a look at those drums.

Herb, don't know what happened there, uploaded a new mix to soundclick ,less distorted but not perfect, same mp3 or wave distorts on soundcloud. Didn't have any high drama in mind, just a quiet little tune. : )

Metaltek, thanks for listening, this one almost has enough distortion on it to be heavy metal, but that was unintentional. ; )

Hi Albert ,thanks for listening, glad you liked it.

Hi Vicente, thanks for the good ears,having so much trouble mixing I missed that one, fixed it now.

Soundcloud link failed and I could not find it on your page Rik.

Hi Robert,thanks for listening, glad you at least like the playing ; )

Hi John , sorry about that, should be working now, I hope.

Hi Ed, thanks for listening, needs something definitely ; )

Rik

Much better overall. The bass could come up considerably (3-5 dB).....or the piano and guitar could come down by about that much.

I like the new mix, Rik.  :)

Herb...yes, no 'grand' piano playing here, by any means.  When I played it, it was as backing to his guitar parts.  I didn't know it was going to be so upfront...but it still works as a 'chill' piece.  :)  

it prob does need a bass guitar especially when both the guitar and piano are playing melodies in the higher range, some low end will balance it out.

Overall this is good, nice melody, it would be considered safe I guess.

I loved the first introduction of the guitar coming in that was a sweet little solo.

The drums are a little sterile too, they dont really add much as the track goes on.

Good work,

Cian

Jonas, glad you think it's better.

Robert, thanks : )

Janet, glad you like this one,I lost track after remix number 14 : )

Bobby, thanks for listening, glad you like it.

Mark, "nice, quiet, open, autumnal, melancholic...nicely understated piano playing Janet" , yes,yes,yes,yes,yes and most certainly yes. Thanks : )


Cian, this still needs some work, thanks for listening.


Scott, soothing, I like that, thanks.

Rik

Me likes!  Great performances as usual!  I like the calming nature of this tune.  You guys rock together

Hi Rik and Janet - sorry I'm late! Doozy - "something outstanding or unique" - Yep, couldn't have put it better myself! Both! As always a wonderful collaboration producing a fantastic combination from two perfect halves. Best Regards, Malcolm.

I think it's a doozy. Very nice. Has that uplifting film vibe. All's well, and then come the drums. I don't know what happened here but, it sounds sort of like the drums were loops that were not in tempo, or, the performances were played to a different beat so the new loops don't work. 

How was this production born? To a click?


I think the composition is excellent.
