Hi all,
I know everybody is busy planning their trip to Berlin (I will be theguy
with a lot of beard and a bald head with a pony-tail :-) but I askfor your
comments on the following song:

The bandleader says he needs to rerecord his voice but I doubt thatthat
will improve the quality any more. What do you think? Are thereparts where
a rerecording is badly needed?
Btw, we will release to song for public download on the website shortly.
Thanks for listening,
Arnold
I like it. Very country-folky.
What synth or soundfont/gigasample did you use for the string section? Also, is that a
real violin playing that counterpoint melody, or is it a soundfont/gigasample?
The bongos seem fine to me, but I agree that they'd sound better in stereo or center
panned instead of hard left.
But, why the hip-hop/techno TR-808 drumsound? Especialy that rap/hiphop cowbell seems
really out of place to me.
I like the warm, woodsy, open, relaxed, folky mix with natural sounds: voice, fiddle,
strings, guitar. A real drummer, or samples of a jazz drumkit (i.e. with brushes) might
work better there than the mechanical snap of a Dr. Rhythm snare.
