Dave Bryce Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 As many of you know, we are currently in the process of doing another CD compilation of original material submitted by members of this forum. As with the last original compilation, the entries will be posted for review by all of the members of the forum whether or not they have contributed a piece. With that in mind, please check out "Can\'t You See I\'m Falling In Love" (submitted by Steve "B_3guy" Jordan, and tell us what you think! If the artist of the piece would care to post any notes about the piece in this thread, they should feel free to do so.

Steve LeBlanc Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 That's beautiful...nice sound on the Hammond as usual Steve. Tell Paul I dig the songwriting. http://www.youtube.com/notesleb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_3guy Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 Hi praise from the Rhodes God, MP Hall of Fame Member & an all round nice guy. It is a good song. Here's another one of his we did http://www.geocities.com/b_3guy2/callme.mp3 It's a winner as well. After fooling around a bit, I'm finally getting the sound I want from the B. Thanks for the listen & I can't wait to hear yours! Steve www.seagullphotodesign.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llarion Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 Oh, but I am SO jealous of that B3 sound... Arrgh, but it's gorgeous... Lovely song, nicely put together! Kind of a Pre-MM Doobie Brothers or mid 70s Eagles vocal feel... Nice, tasty, rippin' guitar solo... If I were to offer any constructive comments, it would be about the cymbal rolls... On my monitors, they sound a teensy bit strident and up in the mix... I'm sure they are very tough to control on a synth... Hey, if you'd like, I could record you some real swelling rolls in various lengths like the ones you have if you're interested; I have some great, dark, dynamic cymbals and mallets to do that... Lemme know! Well done piece! Cheerios! Cheers! Phil "Llarion: The Jazzinator" Traynor www.llarion.com Smooth Jazz - QUESTION AUTHORITY.

Gus Lozada Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 Hi I must agree with everybody. Steve makes honor to his nick name. The B3 sound is wonderful. The tune itself is very nice. I can remember easily the chorus, which is good for any song. I feel the drums should have been quantized a little bit to make the base more solid.

Lemme know! Well done piece! Cheerios!Sharp ears, Phil. This also didn't show up on my home stereo, Paul's car stereo or a friend's studio monitors, but did show up at another studio's monitors. The crescendos weren't really that hard to make, but after recording them I should have EQ'd them a bit & taken out some of the mids & lows (if there are any lows) to give them more SSSHHHH, & get rid of the actual cymbal hits. That would make them more like a mallet driven crescendo. Before I used the cymbal hits I checked to see if the Alesis DM-5 had mallet hits, but I couldn't find any. Gee Phil, I'd love to have some more realistic cymbal swells. ThanksHere's my email address seagulljordan@hfx.eastlink.ca I can receive up to 10 megs at that address. On another note, it does have that Eagles sound. Not that we were trying to achieve that sound. Just accidental. Thanks for given it a listen!

Llarion Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 No problem at all. Do you have any specific lengths you want? If not, I'll just do soem short, medium, and long rolls of varying swell intensity and let you parse them up as needed. The song I did for the first compilation, The Light Of Valhalla, makes liberal use of them; take a listen so you know what to expect; and if you want them any different than what you hear, let me know.

b_3guy Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 Various lengths would do. Couldn't I adjust the lengths a little bit in Peak or Digital Performer without changing pitch, etc? Thanks again. Steve www.seagullphotodesign.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick K. Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 Nice B3!! I'd like to hear more of it. It's way delicious!! Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synthetic Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 Nice song, reminds me a bit of Meatloaf in a good way. I agree with the cymbal rolls being a bit harsh, maybe you can rent just a crash cymbal from a place that rents drum sets? I also thought the timing was a bit loose in the intro section, not sure if it was the guitar or shaker. Otherwise, very cool production and recording. Thanks. -jl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got all the tracking done & I wanted to post it. Also the tune in this form is too long for the compilation so it will probably have to have a fade put in at some point. I do agree there is a looseness between the kick & bass. Thanks for giving it a listen!! Steve www.seagullphotodesign.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larochep Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 I love this song. The B3 and the backing vocals are especially nice ! And I agree with the Eagles comparison. Same mood. Pierre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
