This has a great late sixties vibe to it. Good song. I like it and would like to hear more of you on here. I'm listening on tablet phones tonight so I'll leave mix comments to others.

Howdy Josie....

I thank you for taking the time to listen and the kind comments.
Well....I'm old....and come from the sixties era so your comment stands to some reason.

Glad you didn't think it totally sucked.....I'm trying to keep some respectable distance from the 'you totally suck' genre. smile

Thanks again....much appreciated and hope all is well with you..

A good day to all.

You sell yourself remarkably short...we think it sounds very polished on the KRK's.

Somebody mentioned Dire Straits and we agree...definitely has that cool flow.

Regarding the gain of the vocal we hear it at that spot where it could move up a bit and not detract or it could stay where it is. Close call.

Nice production that we enjoyed!

Howdy J&B....

I thank you for taking the time to give it a spin and the kind words.
I'm glad to hear the mix translates well to your KRK's too.

I'm working on the vocals as I type.

For me....I have to sing it ad nauseum before I become actually comfortable with it so it sounds like a relaxed, deliberate performance.

Thanks again for listening/commenting.

Howdy Kenny....

Chuckle...'relentless'.
I kind of meandered into that addictive little rhythm 'groove' some months back while jamming with myself....it was good warm up and fun to play.
I just kept it in my creative sights until the right subject grabbed me.

Thanks for listening and commenting favorably. smile

Sounds good, like the Mark Knopfler real track and how you've used it in the song.
A strong composition overall.

Very cool tune. First think I got a Randy Bachman vibe to the song. I thought the vocal and lyric was great. Your guitar was fabulous. Well done

PeterF.....

G'day mate.
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and generous comments.
Hope all is well in the 'land down under'.
Now...it's time to select another subject 'theme' for my next creative challenge.

ScottC...
I thank you too for giving it a spin and the kind words.
So far...no hate mail on this one....yet. smile


Thank you both again and a good (creative) day to all....

I agree! This is a great driving backing that gets the toes tapping in next to no time! I loved it. Your vocals are also excellent... bringing them up a couple dB would be well worth it I reckon.

I really enjoyed listening.

All the best,
Noel

G'day Noel.....

Thanks for chiming in and the generous kind comments.

I remixed last night....brought the vocal up 1db and EQ'ed a bit.
There were some low frequencies that needed taming.
I'll listen again today and re-upload.

Thanks again Noel....

OK...

Out of respect for those that kindly commented on the vocal volume I've uploaded a remix.
TBH...I might be losing some aural perspective (I'm sure I'm the only one who experiences that. :)) so to those that encouraged me to up the vocal I wouldn't mind a confirmation that I've not gone too loud.

NOTE: If you prefer, feel free to just PM me vs. bumping this thread again.

I keep reading comments about this have a Dire Straits vibe. So...this isn't Dire Straits? wink

No kidding, this totally has that Sultans of Swing thing going on without being a wanna be of that song.

Great use of all the instruments; which help lead to a cohesive sound. The drums made a nice bed with a cool groove.

I really liked it. Vocals were great by me.

What I loved was this was a song that on first listened; brought me back to a time I really like. Well done. smile

This is good, your vocals are not bad at all. And I know what you mean ... I'm always very self-conscious of my vocals. There's always something they don't sound like that I want them to sound like. Ok, usually.

And I like the lyrics.

Howdy Phil...

Chuckle.....I hear you.
What I hear in my head always seems to sound far better than what I track.
A huge creative disconnect on my part. smile

I thank you for taking the time to listen and the favorable comments.

Have a good one....

I enjoyed the song, and agree that it's got a cool "relentless" drive to it.

Your vocals are fine, nothing to be self-conscious about. They're still a bit soft in the mix.

Well done.

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

David....

Well....I guess it's obvious I only raise my vocal in conservative increments. smile
I only raised it about 1db on the remix version and less reverb which gave it better clarity.
I'll have to revisit it again.

Thank you for taking the time to give it a spin and the favorable comments....much appreciated.

Feliz Viernes hente.....

The Mark Knopfler style is so unique and reconcilable that anything played with that style will sound reminiscent of Dire Straits. He is one of my favorite guitar players.

I though your lyrics were well suited to the style and the vocal delivery was good. I liked the song. For me, that is all that matters. I will leave all the technical comments to the "engineers".

Good job.

Billy

Howdy Planobilly....

Yep....no mistaking that Dire Straits sound.
I went through several lead guitar choices before getting to that one.
When I heard it....I looked no further.

IMO...to find the right choices for a song one has to listen to many instruments and style options.....BIAB is a program with great depth and countless possibilities.

Thank you for listening and the kind comments.
