I pulled the track for a facelift. First attempt just wasn’t there.
Nice, mellow song. I like the sound of the acoustic guitars.
Good to hear you sing in a lower register than you usually do. It brings a bit of a different flavour than usual.You almost sound like a different singer in those lower parts.
I think the best thing you could do for the song is to tighten up the timing issues. Get those vocals all moving together and watch that the music/ guitars/ bass are moving relatively in synch with the drums. You could either re-record the parts where there’s timing issues or you could possibly make some cuts in the wav form and move them into place. I would think that re-recording would be easier. I’m not sure if cutting the acoustic guitars and aligning them would work. You may get some artifacts in the spots where you slice/cut them. Before you re-record any instrument make sure you are very well rehearsed. Take your time preparing, don’t rush things. It’s worth it to get a good, tight performance.
The song sounds good, but it will sound even better if you fix the timing issues. Your music is worth the extra effort. Good stuff, Paul.
Hi there Mr W. The way I look at it these days, it that a track is either ok or it is good. 95.7% of mine are Ok and I an OK with that. This one is at best ok. Why is that. Because there is no planning in any element of the production. The whole song took an hour. I then walk away for a few hours and have a listen. In most cases I don’t even remember the lyrics or melody line that I came up with on the fly. It’s kinda like golf to me. Enjoy the moment and challenge and then move on. A hobby is so unlike a dream.
I recorded this with a click track (86). I later found a Studio one track and it synced to that bpm. I found out recently that my timing is much better with the drums because there is much more going on.
The intro sounds good when i hit the right accent notes all in one take. For some reason, i must choke, because they don’t come through clear. Then go back and play those single notes, but the timing is never right. Yes, for something to do this morning, I will go back and replay those rough areas and re-sing a few parts too. would like to tidy it up before the next song jumps in my head.
Thank for taking the time…peace to you
