Heartbroke In LA

I HAVE REDONE THE LEAD GUITAR TRACK SINCE ORIGINAlLY POSTING THIS

An edgy guitar rock ballad with a hint of dubstep in the percussion, particularly in the chorus. The style description says "Dreamy Guitar Pop" - I changed that from "Dreamy" to "Edgy" by bringing in a few replacement tracks.

I've been very sick the past week and haven't been very active on the boards. Will get back to listening and commenting as soon as I feel better. Hope you enjoy my first effort with BIAB 2019.

Yeah! I really like this one, Alan.

Great arrangement, those realdrums really worked well and set the mood for the piece. Guitar sounds awesome!

Hope you are feeling better soon.

Ho Torrey,

You are much too kind! Thank you very much for your wonderful comments. I appreciate those words. I do a **LOT** of experimenting with the individual tracks from the various styles and mix and match until i find something I think works. I'm glad you enjoyed this one. Many thanks.

Wow - you did an outstanding job on this one smile The guitar's tone has so much emotion here, and the backing tracks were the perfect match. It is beautifully solemn, and you can tell it comes from the heart.

Not a thing I' d change on this one - thanks for sharing!

Thank you Deryk! Glad you liked it. I might tinker just a bit with the lead guitar, but other than that - I'm pretty happy with it. Thanks again.

Sounds really good to my ears!

Fix the hiccup at 0:32 and perhaps get a better transition at 2:59, and you're golden.

Nicely done.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Hi Tano,

Thank you very much for the kind words. I appreciate that very much. Glad you enjoyed it. I have redone the lead guitar track, and tweaked a couple of other small things, since I originally posted this. Again. many thanks.

Hi David,

I couldn't do a lot with that 0:32 glitch so I completely redid the lead guitar track - tamed it down just a bunch and got rid of the two issues you mentioned. I tweaked a couple of other small things while I was at it. I think it sounds much better now - thanks for pointing those two issues out to me. I don't know if it's "gold" now, or not, but it is better! Many thanks. Best to you.
