This song is not in a battle


Hi all

Now that the summer hols are here I really wanted to get something uploaded on the site.

If you listened to Funkytown, which I did with Swordfish, you would have seen that I am fairly new to all things Cubase.

This is just a ditty that I did to try and learn some Cubase techniques.  PLEASE DON'T VOTE!!!!

It took about an hour and a half and I know that the guitar is pretty ropey as is the singing (I did it after midnight so had to sing really quietly).  I hate fade outs but again it was practice for using automation.

Comments very much appreciated, constructive criticism especially!

Cheers
PRG

I like it...seems a little repetitive though...I think I'd like the background melodies to change up a bit...and yeh - the fade out leaves something to be desired...

"you took the car..." lol !!

and too bad for you..I am going to vote anyways...it's my way of being helpful...

so what's wrong with it? okay it's not perfect, but a hell better that a bunch of stuff on this site!

(don't quote me on that btw )


since... since what? I like the guitar tone... I like the backing pattern of drums an odd synth. It makes me think of the overgrown barn behind my uncle's farmhouse. I don't know how I made that association.... But even after a couple of listens I still feel that way

this is a lovely song. I can hear your relation to Swordfish... I suddenly feel like 19th century Paris' art scene... I'm keeping the door open to whatever the heck I mean by saying that..... It's too precious

I like the tune yeah...Wanna hear more from you.... You have style... That is good...

Strum on...

I liked this nice and mellow. The melody is kinda monotone, but that's what put me in this mellow mood

Thanks for the comments so far.  Hopefully I'll be posting some more on here shortly.
PuppetXeno.  Since What?  Since You've Been Gone.  I couldn't fit the whole title in the space provided when I uploaded the song.  And your comments are..very deep!
I'm going to take a degree in philosophy and see if I can understand them at the end!

Cheers

Interesting song. 
It needs some work on the instrumentation but to quote Puppet:

Hey man

I like the song, altough perhaps a bit much of the same.. but for a midnight production this is quite good! Also the singing is good despite the fact you had to sing quietly.

Keep up the good work

Thanks for the comments so far.  I've listened to this a couple of times since posting it and it is repetitive and very much a noodle.  I am working on a new project and hope to post it here in the next few days.

Fish.  I look forward to seeing you and Sue on your return.  Am I right that you return on Wed?  Hope you've enjoyed your jaunt to Poland.  You missed a good gig tonight.

I can see what everyone is saying, but for me? It's not repetitive.

The only thing that could make this better from my point of view is a better mix. Vox sound to flat and muffled, bass too high? mid/high too low? Guitar sounds good, but I think a less sharp tone could benefit. Maybe panned a bit more, to make it sound like more of a background sound, but not too much. A little echo perhaps? These are just suggestions.

I like the song. I especially liked the beginning. Synth, drums, bass all sound great. Makes me want to hear more.
