Thanks Mark! I appreciate your thoughts.macomposer wrote: ↑Wed Apr 17, 2024 8:38 amBeautiful!! Yeah, the guitars could be dried up just a bit. The cymbal sounds okay to me - doesn't stick out. Great tune!!! Congratulations to both you and Casey!
It strikes me as a very good 90s singer-songwriter guitar ballad. Now, just have to wait for that listing to show up!!

Thanks Bradley! I appreciate your encouraging comments!BradleyHagen wrote: ↑Wed Apr 17, 2024 9:30 am
Great tune! At first I was thinking maybe more verb or delay on the vocal, but I now think it works just fine as is. The acoustic tones are great, good job micing up that guitar man.... (if it isn't micd? You sure have fooled me!) I guess I would agree with Alan that maybe a little more percussion later on in the choruses could be cool, but thats about all that I've got. The tambourine hit/cracked cymbal thing doesnt bother me though...

Hey Mark! Thanks so much for the detailed feedback! I appreciate your thoughts!cosmicdolphin wrote: ↑Wed Apr 17, 2024 12:22 pmWithout looking at anyone else's feedback. Off the bat..
Not a fan of the guitar sound, it has some unpleasant resonances and I think the amount/type of reverb used is too much..comes across kinda dated to me. If you're aiming for modern singer/songwriter what do their acoustic guitars sound like?
Vocal - I like the voice generally but in sounds in a completely different space to the guitars so there is a disconnect. It's also a bit forward in the track so it feels like it's sitting on top rather than part of the track. There's few spots where the tuning feels a bit off or it might just be the way you are singing certain words ie.e around 57s ..I can't quite figure what the lyrics are. It sounds like " See Suns " but you turn them both into dipthongs and it catches the ear as not being quite right as they would probably sound more in tune if you just sang one note for each word.
At 1.34 if feels like things need to develop, and some fuller drums or percussion should enter but all we get is a very washed out sounding tambourine that's far in the distance. This doesn't help propel the song , it just kinda makes it sound more washed out and slower when I feel like it needs a solid rhythm.
I was happy to hear some low end enter the mix a little later into the track but I would welcomed it sooner - no later than 1.34 IMHO
Generally I get the vibe of a nice song, reasonably well sang but with a somewhat washed out dated kinda mix / production which leaves it somewhat below the broadcast quality bar for me. It's a pretty song though and I think with some work, a better mix and higher production values you could have something good.

Hey Graham, thanks for offering your feedback! It's good to hear a lot of the same comments from so many people. Thanks for taking the time to listen!Telefunkin wrote: ↑Thu Apr 18, 2024 12:38 amHi, good job on getting a nice song together, but IMHO what you have so far is the demo. I have to agree with the comments of Feaker (the main point) and Cosmic (the detail). Good luck with it but it would be great to hear another recording.
