The wife and I were goofin around with this Rodney Crowell song a few years back - 'Ain't Livin Long'. It's a country rocker recorded on tape and mixed in a bad room a while back, hehe. I rebalanced it using Harbal, Soniformer2, GlissEQ, TLsMaximizer, Elephant today. [url=http://cloud.he.net/~kyledev1/masters_28FEB2004/Aint_Livin_Long_eq_mixdown_3296_r8b_1644.mp3]Ain\'t Livin Long[/url] It's as good as I can get it for now but the balance needs something, or has too much of something - all criticisms about anything are welcome - that's why I'm posting this here. :wave: PS: Wife vox, me guitars & keys (hehe) & backup (hehe), Kawai GB-2 rhythm

Just wanted to share a song my wife wrote that I recorded for a marketing promo cd. I’m kind of a hack at engineering but it sounds decent. The wood blocks were unintentional. I had the click to hot in the cans. d’oh! Any comments or feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Steve it's a happy song :wave: [url=http://home.comcast.net/~stpaul19/Shine.mp3]Shine[/url] ©1999 Tresa Paul [i]Take me away from the dirty air, let me breathe again. Take me away from the venom and the anger let me feel again. Free my feet from the shackles of regret I want to dance again. Let the joy of the day light my way oh let it shine, oh let it shine... Shine, shine, shine, shine yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Spare my ears from idle words of sorrow, I can't bear your pain. burden not my soul with your fear and worry, let me heal again. For so long grief has silenced my voice, I want to sing again, let the light of the moment be mine, oh let it shine... This is my way, this is my song oh let me sing it to you oh let it shine, oh let it shine This is my heart this is my soul, oh let me bring it to you let it shine, oh let it shine let it shine...[/i] :wave:

y0 Schmee! thanks for the compliment. I enjoyed your “shine” a lot. I really like the syncopated sporadic rhythm you have going on between the bass and the guitar tracks. made me think of t-rex for some reason. :thu: here is another track going on the promo cd. it's a cover of [url=http://home.comcast.net/~stpaul19/Crazy_Game.mp3]Crazy Game(mp3)[/url]

Geez...what a painintheass it is to find this thread now. I did a search...and all it turned up were 111 entries for "Is my KID's music..." whatever. So, it's "your"...not "my". :rolleyes: Anyone in the mood for a sappy love song?

I noticed that but I wouldn't mind jumping around like them! I could get alot more done than I do now! Well if you look at my website, you'll see that we have several bands that gig for us from the UK, NY and YK and some we haven't got round to adding as yet but YCB are one of the most promising bands I have worked with and because of them, thats why i do what I do...they mean that much to me. We are just concentrating on the new YCB album at the moment but there will be a launch party so I'll let you know when and where but it will be in London. I see your a photographer in your profile. We use Jeff Spicer for all our shots, do you do any band shots btw and if so, maybe you'd like to do some for me sometime as we are trying at the moment to put a team together for next years big Jazz/Funk event. Let me know what you think.

Actually I'm a computer support analyst, photography is just one of my hobbies, but you've made my day thinking that (would love to switch careers!). However, that makes me very cheap so if you did want an extra lense PM me and I'd be happy to help out :thu:

Its one of those things I and Marcus who I started the company with, heavily felt that we should always give new talent a go be it from stage hands to artists and that includes people like yourself. It should be an integral part of what we do as human beings, if we take, we always give back and give thanks we got so far remembering the people that helped along the way. A good ethos to work under I think. :) will be intouch, no worries. :thu:

[quote]Originally posted by Anderton: [b]Hi everybody...lately there have been people opening topics seeking reactions to their music. I think this is great, but it could become unwieldy very rapidly as the number of topics multiplies. So, this folder has been created for two reasons: 1. If you want reactions to your music, tell us where to find it. 2. If you want to check out some new music and comment on it, go for it. This could be a lot of fun if we get a decent level of participation. Ever wanted to be an A&R person? Ever needed some good quotes for a promotion? This is the place! To those whose folders I deleted because they asked for feedback on music, please repost in this folder. You were deleted solely to free up folder space, not because your contributions were unwanted.
