I grew up on the countryside, but I now live in the "big city". Today I felt a kind of homesick and I made this tune:

[Link no longer valid]

I used:
RT1036: Bass
RT1542: Piano
RT1037: Guitar
RT1668: Pedal Steel
RT2028: Fiddle
RealDrums: RockNorthernBallad

Critique/comments are - as always - welcome.

Nice one, Will. The instruments sound sweet together, especially when the pedal steel--and then the fiddle--played harmonies. I think it captures that wistful feel well. The progression was a bit hard to follow for me, but the mood was set.

Nice one Will,
The levels are pretty good.
The drums may be a little rock loud for the nostalgia feel but they sound contemporary and strong - the bass pretty much matches the kick drum for level so that's a solid rhythm section.
Did you export this to Real Band or a DAW to mix?

Will,

Well put together. It does have a "homesick feel" to it... a "longing" sound.

Nicely mixed - everything in a nice space - nice "clean" sound to the acoustic guitar...

Enjoyed.

It definitely as a melancholy feel.

Nice choice of RT's and the mix sounds in the pocket.

Enjoyed it!

Thank you all for you kind comments.

Actually, today I'm not so satisfied with the track. I was in a special mood yesterday which doesn't really correspond to how I usually feel. Yesterday I thought it was a good track, but today I feel differently about it. I guess the learning from this is that I have to sleep before posting songs. smile

@rayc
I 100% agree with you about the drums... they are a bit too loud - I can hear that now.

I mixed it in Biab - I still don't have a good relationship with RealBand. :-)


Thanks again for listening! I hope I can up the performance with my next song!

Very nice and interesting chord progression. I like also the melancholy mood reflecting the yearning of countryside.

Will..snapshot of a moment in time...tapping into that longing feeling sure comes through. I think drums could be a bit more subdued. Nicely mixed. Thanks for sharing.
