Donny G - beautifully done, you have a fantastic command over all aspects
of song-writing, singing & playing. Your recording skills are top notch - your
guitar skills are inspirational.
You have an understanding of how to achieve rich reverbs without sounding
'muddy' - as a fellow guitarist I'd be hugely interested a few tips on reverbs,
which do you favour and how do you use for different instruments & mixes??
BIG subject I know - but I'm still on basics (like much else!), here's hoping!!
Hope you're mending really well Donny,
Best, Carl

Hi Donny!
Really good and polished song. It's amazing what AI can do, and well done to you for giving it good material to work with.
One thing that's intriguing me is the song title 'Time to mend'. I am wondering if that was a working title before lyrics, or is a title meant to capture the main theme? The obvious choice would be 'You said hello'.
I know you have summarised your workflow in previous posts, so I sort of understand that, but I am interested in hearing the development from song idea to finished song. Do you have a demo recording of you singing and playing over the BIAB band? It would be interesting to hear what 'polish' Suno added and re-imagined. No problem if you'd prefer not to.
Anyhow, another good song.
Andrew

Andrew Hi Andrew, yes, after sleeping on your comments I agree, it was a stretch to try and say someone saying hello healed me, thanks for the change. Also, you asked about me busking with the Michael A/I/ band, if you go to the showcase posts scroll down and find 'My Bad', I posted it a short while ago, it has me playing, singing with the band.

Best, Carl Hi Camog, if you load the _SMOOTHC.STY and then adjust the volumes and reverb. Here are the parameters I used for this song. Bass 85/40, piano 80/56, drums 68/25, guitar 87/76, leave the panning alone. Donny G

Mr DG,
Are those E Guitar licks from Biab? If so, you are one amazing producer. They sound like a professional session guitarist.
This is one of my favorite US songs, ever!
If it's 100% Biab, I'm truly astonished at what you've created. Mind blown.
Trax

Donny, another masterpiece.
Super groove
Outstanding guitar licks. Are they yours or BiaBs?
You are one hell of a song writer, arranger, and mix specialist.
All of your songs should be on the radio today.
Back in my day the only time we started panic buying was when the bartender shouted "last call"!
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware
