My 70's Attempt (New Version Up)

[mikebarresi]

Hey guys.. here is my last minute attempt at a 70's style tune. I had 2 sessions to put it together. http://www.taximusic.com/song.php?song_ ... tream=1let me know what you think. I was shooting for that John Bonham/Zepp groove.EDIT: FIXED SOME ISSUES.. CHECK IT OUT!!! ENJOYMike

Hiya Mike. I'm no expert in this genre, but I like the track. I especially "get" the boxy drum sound and I think it fits what you're going for.I also get that this is a kind of jam song and is supposed to be a little loose, but parts of it were waaaaayy loose (especially the keys - they seem to be ahead of the beat the whole time) and that did bother my ears. Are they on a separate track that you can just nudge forward a couple of ticks?Anyway, just my 2 cents' worth. What do I know - I was listening to Sesame Street albums in the '70s.Kathleen

Ya i hear what you are talking about... since the listing is complete.. is it possible to fix the parts and replace the tune on my hosting site.. or is what i submitted what they are going to listen too??about listening to sesame street in the 70's, I didn't even exist in the seventies!!! hahamike

From other discussions I've seen on this, I seem to remember that you can go ahead and re-post new versions after you've submitted. Whatever is on your page when they actually get around to doing the screenings is what they'll hear.Kathleen

very cool... i'll probably spend some more time on this track and throw it up on the site

Sounds good, Mike. I like the guitar tone and the playing. I agree about the keys being a little off, but over all I think it sounds very 70s. Good luck!!!

Reminds me of Pink Floyd- Very 70s. Nice job!

Hi Mike,I really like your tune... If I was walking down the street and heard that coming out of a club, I definitely have to go in...On the repost- go ahead and repost-- I posted some tunes to a listing, and for some reason I hit the play button before submitting and found that the .mp3 was all garbled, and one was cut short. I contacted Taxi and they fixed the problem ( there was something between my computer and the server that was just right.) I asked what about the submission I already made, and he replied they take the latest submission on file.Good Luck!Bob

Ok that sounds good. I think i'll do some last minute tweaking and repost..does any one hear any distortion in the track or is it just my ears. I think it might be coming from a tape saturation plugin i've been experimenting with. Do you guys think that the distortion helps with the 70's vibe or not?? thanks Mike

i fixed the mix and some of the issues with the keys.i also fixed the distortion issues.. it was the tape saturation plugin that i was using..
