Typical pop song backing track , repetitive but hopefully danceable. Nearly got lyrics. The tune reminds me of a Rod Stewart/Faces composition. Comments welcome on the mix etc. _POPOMED.STY. Pop-Rock w/ DreamyGtr(120 RS) 1877 Fiddle, Soloist CountryRob Ev 120\ SoundcloudPete

Yes, it does sound reminiscent of some of Rod Stewart's early 70's stuff like "You Wear It Well." The fiddle sounds sort of Celtic in that context. A lot depends on what you do with the melody and variation of parts of course.
As some have rightly commented on my rock mixes, the drums could be more out front, especially kicks and snares (the hats are maybe too prominent, maybe play with the EQ and compression on the drums). I work in Sonar X1 & X2 and I find when I import normalized audio tracks from BIAB, they are very loud. I start by pulling down the master gain by -4 or -5 dB on the channel strip each imported track. I now try to pull back the faders too, then push up drums and bass to get a solid rhythm section, then push up the other instruments and vocals to taste. If I don't do that I end up clipping when I try to make the drums louder. Very basic stuff and I'm fortunate to work with a producer on some tracks - someone who really knows how to mix. I'm just learning.
Thanks,
Bruce

Yes, Rod the Mod early 70s. Slap some lyrics on it and give it whirl. I like it. Good start.

With a nod to Rod: http://soundcloud.com/pete-stobbs/rain-or-shine-with-vocals Well I've heard it say, that you wear it well. Aint that the truth. I've seen it for myself. Still got the picture, from your Art School days. Rolling, drunken nights, we were all the rage. Your still in my heart, aint that the truth Feelings remain. there's no dispute. Remember the day when your dog bit my leg. "Time will heal", is what you said. Well a long time has past and a wound still smarts. Time waits for no one, especially hearts? Come rain or shine I have to smile. Have a drink on me, reminisce for a while. It's hard to find a love like yours. Sometimes it rains, sometimes it pours.

Pete, as said this is a very catchy tune and an incredible rough mix!
I will make a couple of suggestions that you may or may not want to incorporate. Bring the vocals up and use fewer effects on them. Maybe just some reverb? Your voice sounds good so don’t hide it. Also you have a long instrumental at the end of the song. Cut that short and end with the chorus. I think that may work well but you will have to decide that yourself.
Great start here for sure!

Doc-take it easy John this is just a sharp scalpel. It will not cut deep so don't worry.

Thanks everyone! Taken your suggestion about the vocals Mario hope that works, but am leaving the ending as it is. Hopefully it's a good danceable tune.
I have a laptop and headphones only (very limited budget!)so I do wonder how my stuff sounds on some of the gear that other people have on here.
Once again thanks for listening and happy recording to you all!!
Pete

I like what you did with this. Very good song.
I think you lost a little of the power of the original instrumental track, but it still sounds darned good. I'd add a touch of reverb to vocals too.
I like it - alot!
