Re: lose/keep the cowbell
I don't think the cowbell adds that much. Tambourine might work better, not sure. I would quantize it though to make it tighter. I like the sound of your lead guitar during the solo.

Re: lose/keep the cowbell
I like the song, I like the guitar and I like Sam's voice. I am not going to write a verse about the bells, Pablito . Elser might be right, better a tambourine.

Re: lose/keep the cowbell
ElserDon't know what line 6 setting I used. Finally pulled out the manual (that I have never read) and found you can switch cabinets and also found 16 more sounds.BellaIt always seems a songs needs just a little something extra. This time it was the bells, next time maybe a kazoo?Warren friendThanks for the 2cents:) Nobody commented on the techno drum fills, so they must be ok.I need to put out a new tune. Something really different:)Thanks yawlPaul

Re: lose/keep the cowbell
Paul, this is really good...I'm proud of you. I like Samantha's voice....it's Pat Benetarish to me. I agree with everyone about the tamborines....other than that, great job!

Re: lose/keep the cowbell
Hey Paul,Nice little tune. Guitars sound nice. The cowbell works for me on the chorus, I'd try to find a sample with a bit more ring to it. Juice up the drums a bit too -- haven't heard roto-tom fills for a while, crank em up! Niece has a real nice voice.Thanks for posting thisErich

Re: lose/keep the cowbell
I want to start with a disclaimer that I tend to write orchestral music so I am not sure how heavy my opinion should weigh - but I wanted to say something anyway...I really like this one! Great voice, catchy song and nice arrangement. The cowbell works for me but agree with Warren and Erich that I would like it to be louder and have more ring. ~ LydiaEDIT: Oh - and I also like the guitar sound and the techno fills.

Re: lose/keep the cowbell
chitsI am trying to get her to sing wilh less vibratto. She says she can't help it. It's ok for slow stuff, but the rockish stuff I just don't know. Think of you daily:) Glad you are getting better.ErichThe guitar was quite fun. My wife walked in, smiled and said "just like the good ole days aaay dad" I will crank up the drums.I don't know what samples are, but I can adjust the bells on the roland electronic drums to ring more (I think)LydiaGlad you stopped. It is the same thing for me when I listen your music. I say " wow, this is really nice", but don't even have a clue to comment on specifics:)Just saying you like it means alot.I think more folks are in favor on the bells, so I will keep them.Everyone should have a chance to play this roland set. You can't even imagine the sounds you can get. Thanks guys for your input, I would be lost without it.sincerely Paul
