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,
Deryk

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.

I hear the Godfather of Soul, and can see him singing this one. Well done, Captain.

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.
