Hi Dave! This is very nice. I don't like the production a lot, but I enjoy the music. Very good singing, as always. What I really enjoy about it though, is the fact, that it is music in a rather popluar sense, as opposed to your latest posts of electronic experiments. I can hear this piece with a real drummer and your normal finess of guiat recording. As much as it might sound like it: I'm not complaining. It's a nice,straight forward, simple and catchy tune! More of that! Warmly yours julien

Catchy tune, bit of reverb on the vox? Sounds smooth as anyway! :D Would like to add this to my "relaxed music" playlist for inbetween acts at gigs if you don't oppose?? -Harry

i can't claim to have heard a *lot* of your vocal performances dave, but it seems to me that you're getting better and better, or at least were having a very good day with this one. minor production issues aside, really nice.

(It was kind of fun, but, alas, I've lost my taste for the detail work, like cutting and tweezing and trimming individual syllables out of vocal tracks, etc). Apparently the trend nowadays in indie pop is to drown entire mixes in reverb (and use old analog tape, so the mix sounds like you're hearing it through thick wall of gauze). On sparse mixes I like ambience, or if the song's feel calls for it, but if there's a lot going on in the mix, I tend to reduce the reverb to asymptotically approaching zero. That was not what the guy wanted, so I don't think I'll be doing much mixing for anyone. Analog fetishism, on the other hand, has been discussed here at length many times, and I don't intend to rehash it. However, after recently listening to Wish You Were Here, I was struck with how much time, work, and money the Abbey Road/EMI engineers put into making analog tape sound as clear back as digital can get now-- even the cheapest consumer digial gear today can get that clean today. In matters of art and taste, one can't really argue. -ken _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user(a)lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
