I'm not sure that anyone has discovered the true Spirit of the song and the spookiness involved in it.

And for some reason I can't help feeling that the main instruments like the guitars and stuff are going to have to be played live along with the singer to capture the ethereal nature of it.

I'm only one person, but I think this is too ethereal to have the main instruments be backing tracks. I think it needs more of a live, flowing feel.

But having said that I really like the direction that it's going in.


Thanks David,
I doubt I'll be able to get to California to play alongside Alison in her studio to get that feel. I think it would be hard work too as she moves across the rhythm and deliberately doesn't hit all the accents points on the beat...I take the blame for that as I set up the draft melody to come in late.
I know what you mean but I can't remedy that situation as things stand.
The next track I'm on very deliberately moves to a different groove/feel and BIAB is hard yakka to get that happening.


Cheers

Could be that's how it's miked and a brighter microphone would be a solution for the next song.

Thanks for revisiting B.D.T.
I checked the original audio & can't find that problem. I will work my way through the signal chain checking for a change.

Ray,
TH1409B sounds MUCH better even in my muddy & boomy Sennheiser Momentum cans.

Hi Rayc,

Excellent work. Very nice composition. You match me with your singer. It's well constructed, full of emotion. Well done I appreciate it. Thanks for sharing
