Of course, stellar singing and guitar playing.

Really good!


Thanks for stopping by, David!

Beautiful work Dave and Chris! I love the way this moves! The separation between the instruments is great! Everything in this production is clean and clear! The guitar playing and sound is as good as it gets! Chris's vocal is flawless! This is pro level as far as I'm concerned! Thanks, Torrey

Hi Dave,

You and Chris have done it again!

I don't know how you keep on raising the bar. I already thought that you'd taken it as high as it can go... but I seem to be wrong. All I can do now is to keep on add "+" after A. I think this has to be around A++++++++++++ by now.

This is a great sound. I love that bass. The clarity that you have achieved is awesome. It's so easy to hear each note.

Everything about this sizzles. Everything.

Chris's vocals are excellent, and then some, and her writing is very very strong. I love the chorus and how the lyrics and melody flow.

However I look at this, it's mind-bogglingly good!

All the best,
Noel

Kind regards,

Deej


Thanks for the listen, Deej!

For you guys we really need a template full of superlatives that
we can post for your tunes...actually even before we hear the tune
and still be accurate!

Amongst much goodness we always note how perfectly you sit
Chris' vocals and your guitars in the mix. Easy to say...hard to
nail (at least for many of us).

Chris' lyrics are never overwrought and like this one are so expertly
crafted for her cool vocal chops.

And your guitar? What more can be said...great playing and tone that
is always tempered by an abundance of taste.

Nice!

J&B




Thanks as always Janice and Bud!

As far as mixing goes there are a few people here that I always listen extra closely too when it comes to how they mix the song, and you are one of those guys. Your mixes are always top notch in my opinion.

Having a few hearing problems at the moment, so it's hard for me

Very professional all round.

Very nice to notice how naturally you can write also a fast blues rock song. Nice intro, very memorable hook riff through the song, great guitar sound (and playing of course) in the solo parts. Mix, lyrics and Chris's vocals are hit list quality once more.

What can I say to let you learn from my critics? Nothing. It's just a very good song. It has everything in it. i can only learn from you how to mix my songs...

Hans


Hi Hans,

No worries about missing the song, very easy to miss a song these days with so much new material being added everyday.

Mixing is an ongoing process for me, always something new to learn. But, fun!

Thanks for the listen and comments, I appreciate it.

The guitar: nice playing and that tone sounds like a straight up humbucker into a 50w or less tube amp cranked up to the edge but not over the top. Just curious.... what is the setup? I do like that tone. Just the right amount of grit in the speakers.



Hi Herb,

To answer your gear questions, the guitar on this song is a homemade strat I built using a body and neck I bought from Warmoth. The pickups are from lace sensor, they are single coils but are noiseless and high output.

It is playing though the S-Gear amp sim, I’ve been using that for a few years now ever since Tom Adams turned me onto it. And I fed that through the CLA Guitars plugin.

My favourite setup when I used to play out was straight into a tube amp, in my case I used a 40 watt Fender Blues Deluxe which I still have, and that is the sound I try and emulate with the amp sim. I think I get pretty close.

Thanks for the listen and comments!

Gonna check out the other plug-ins you mentioned soon, too.

Have a nice weekend,

Hi Stefan,

I’m happy you like CLA Bass! And yes, Vocal Rider is a great plugin, I almost always use it in Chris’s vocals. I’ve used it on a B3 track too to tame some of the dynamics.

Hello Dave,

I managed to buy the CLA signature selection which contains all (or modt) of the plug-ins you mentioned for 55 Euros yesterday - about the equivalent of 2 pizzas and a couple of beers in a mid-price Italian restaurant cool That was quite a batgain, I think...

Thanks a lot for your hints.

Have a great day,

Stefan
