The Real World

Hi

I thought I'd post a track of mine I reworked a few months ago, here is a dropbox link:

Hi Chris
Very enjoyable. Always impressed by own compositions.
I liked the octaved Lead with the "octave" being lower than the Lead.
Bounces along well.
I liked the OD ending.
Cheers

Chris - thanks for posting! Well done on letting us hear 'something new - something mine'. It is a daunting thing to do, to create something from your head and heart - but for me much better to create than to follow. It is easy to copy / mimic something already great (mostly) and to enjoy the plaudits of submitting something close but not original (I often wonder 'why?') - but to create something that would never of existed is a really laudable thing, it takes bravery - and I hope that you listen with an appropriate sense of satisfaction.

I too enjoyed the octave double on the melody parts, not always easy to do so closely. I also liked the 'Moonlight Shadow" kind of vibe that this has... It does skip along nicely. I can tell that you enjoyed playing this as it built. I know how that feels - to go on a journey with a piece of music is a wonderful thing.

For myself, and this is just personal pref (everyone has different frequency prefs) not a criticism! - I would back off the lead guitar parts a tad, bring up the rhythm acoustic sample (round it off a bit on the lower freq) and if there is any compression on the kit track, wind it back to let the drums breath and be a little more natural, less hissy and 80's. If you can't do this - or that is how the sample sounds - try Eq'ing (sub) that track to bring up some middle and bass to fatten it up and add a bit of 'kick'.

But these are small things for my ears only - and you are probably satisfied with the mix (and probably right!) - so what the heck... That is the most important thing.

Keep writing and keep them coming Chris.

Best always,

Tony

I enjoyed that .
Nicely put together with a very authentic Sixties feel.
Well done.

Hi Chris - Thanks for the new links they work fine.
What a great composition! - good variety of sounds I particularly like the overdriven sound between 2:51 & 3:40.
As Tony said great to hear something new - hats off to you for creating this I really enjoyed it.

All the best.. Phil
