R-mans/ King Of Hill/ went past :20/ Brain Cells

Post by jay10music » Thu Sep 04, 2008 12:24 pm

Been working hard....and the long nites got me... Thought I was at :20 seconds and some how did the big screw up! Now I got to go back and try and fix it or start over... Problem is once I start over it never sounds the same.. Maybe It's not even close to the listing... .Help Old R-man here..Somebody help me please..;..Jay.... http://www.taximusic.com/download/16497 ... _%20tv.mp3

Hey Jay,How about losing the first phrase? That would probably get it to :20. You might consider speeding it up by at least another 8-10BPM. Dunno where this gets you for length of time but it feels to me that it needs to be faster. Also add more african style percussion. I'm hoping to have something for this too....Need to find me a hi-life guitar player...Derek

31 sec long is it in my player. I think the song is great, but I also would suggest that you speed it up a bit. Maybe some more percussion as well. And maybe double the melody line with another instrument?

Jay,plays about 26sec in my player (w/fade out). maybe speed her up, but still you'll probably be a bit long. You might need a bit more of a 'world' sound as well.Dean

I think it's too long just for a "speedup" to make it work, I think Derek's idea of lopping off at the start might get you there. Also think some ethnic percussion fills would give it some more "world" -

Excellent. I think they would be interested in this. It is lively and different. Very very good.Tom

I have no idea how you're gonna shorten it r-man, but you've done a really good job on it.Cameron
