Really nice work - and I agree with CaptainMoto, just what we need in these trying times. Loved the groove and energy behind this one. It flows really well and I can imagine in would fill a dancefloor effortlessly.

Thanks for sharing!


Cheers,

Hi Cap,

not just big funk, also big fun. Very cool stuff - waiting for The Famous Flames to hop around the corner...

Really very cool !

Stay well, man.

Loved the vocals. The bass sometimes overwhelms the backing tracks though. Maybe you can bring them to the front a bit. Good overall.

Very authentic sound. Good recording. You channeled James Brown well.

FUN and a good sound but the reverb on the James vocal makes it seem not just over to the left but in the next room.

I do agree vocals could be more upfront.
Thanks for the feedback

Thanks,
One of the other listeners mentioned bringing the vocals up....I agree.

I've got a plate reverb on, maybe a bit too much.
What has me stumped is, the main vocal is up the middle, I don't know why it sounds panned left.
In the DAW, sounds straight up the middle.

Thanks for the feedback

Hi Captain,

You have a sore throat now? Must be after this perfect James Brown 'imitation'.
But it must have been great fun making this 1-line song! It's certainly great fun listening to it.
Well done, captain!

I'm an old man now and even though I was never a great singer, when I was a teenager, I did all the JB dance moves and did a pretty good impersonation. cool

Can't quite get there anymore but, It was fun.
