Hey ya'll. Its been a while since I've posted anything, I've been working on this tune for weeks and weeks for a few hours a day. I finally it feels done! Let me know what ya'll think! Its on bandcamp since my brother follows me on Facebook/soundcloud, and I want to mail this to him as it is a response to a letter he sent to me weeks ago,



Let me know what you think! I fully encourage feedback in whatever you way choose to give it.

Re: New song! Let me know what ya'll think!

I think that it is another tiny chunk of your seemingly endless source of brilliance.

The vocals were very engaging and really had my attention. I thought that they were quite good... maybe a refining of your style that you have been developing?

As usual, great chords, playing and tone. Very nice.

Thanks man! its always nice to hear encouraging words. I would definitely say that much of the time in recent weeks has been spent refining my vocal style, so I appreciate the recognition. I've felt for a while that my instrumentals are good but the vocals lack the same passion and that they were thrown on top just to have vocals. I'm trying to push the effort I'm putting into them onto the same level that my instrumentals get. I'm glad it shows.

I would buy an album of that for sure. I really like your vocals and the instrumentation. Kinda reminds me of Snow Patrol before they became a commercial success.

Sounds awesome. Just wondering what you used to record this song (instrument, amp, mic, software, interface, ect.)? Killer quality.

its pretty low budget :)
All of the guitar tracks were made with my squeir affinity strat with a phat cat in the neck, recorded direct into my
TASCAM US-122 with reaper. The mic came free with one of my old interfaces. I believe its a cheapo AKG.
Most of the VST's were free. A lot of them were from this page http://www.meldaproduction.com/plugins/effects.php?keyword=free

The delays, verbs, bassline synth, and synth strings were by TAL

The piano thingy was a Kontakt patch made from a hapi drum and a xylophone from GoldBaby (also free)
The drum samples were randoms that I've collected over the years and were run in individual tracks via reasample 3000

I think thats about it

Thanks for the info, just wondering because I was looking into software and recording equipment.

Cool. I've found that much of it comes down to production and plugins. There are a lot of great online resources (i.e. youtube) on mixing.
 
Re: New song! Let me know what ya'll think!

Thanks for the technical info on what you used .

That's good stuff. Well done.
It has a unique stylistic fingerprint too, which I like.
 
Re: New song! Let me know what ya'll think!

I've listened to it a few times now. Wonderful stuff, as always. the extra hours spent on it are evident. And that Strat with the neck-only pickup always sounds great in your songs. Thanks for sharing this, it's excellent.
 
Re: New song! Let me know what ya'll think!

I like the plucked stringed instrument sound that comes in at 2:10. I'm not sure whether it is low register guitar or high register bass. Either way, I'd like to hear it more of this tic-tac sound all the way through the song. It would lend a Brian Wilson / Van Dyke Parks vibe.
 
Re: New song! Let me know what ya'll think!

This is awesome. I really dig the lyrics and vibe. Definitely my favorite song by you (so far).
