Where - ? Sorry, here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/lqc0qlnbjv11x2c/1..._DRUMS.mp3?dl=0 Wow. This is sounding really cool now. each iteration gets better. It's sounding more and more like something you'd hear on a curated spotify playlist. I love the contrast between the sections. I hope you release the final version for streaming on spotify and such. Awesome you dig it 🤩 Yes every time I open the project I try to improve the mix/arrangement. At this point it's a matter of scaling things back to make sure there aren't conflicting tracks in the arrangement (everything should be there to enhance the lead vocals) - and also balancing the mix EQ/levels wise. |

I have worked on the continuation, namely adding some sections where the arrangement is less busy to create some contrast. I also put more emphasis on some spoken sections. This track sends shivers down my spine! 🤩 [attachment=53230:11_DUAL_..._21_12_2.mp3] Wou!! I love it!! Killer job Kris!! The song grew a lot. -------------------- My lessons

Thanks Todd! It might be a little dark but I figure we need something to catch people's attention in the beginning!

Awesome Ken, I have a good feeling about this one as well!
I am doing some tweaks here and there while I let the mix and arrangement sink in. |

It's brilliant!! I've been listening to this since I woke up. I love your Whammy solo, and Ken's acoustic one. The structure of the track is perfect. It's not a short song, but for any reason, I want to listen to it again and again.
Great job guys!! -------------------- My lessons

So here is the whole (final!?) tune:
11_DUAL_collab_2_2.mp3 ( 7.1MB ) Number of downloads: 109 Spoken: Here's to my brothers, who stood by me as I fell Like so many times before When I've felt fragile and sore I hail to thee! As the valley holds its weeping song The sun sets sail to foreign shores And here is where I used to roam ‘This is what I call my home In the valleys you better sleep with eyes unshut or the wilds will run you out of luck This is where I belong And this is my home Chorus: Through the valleys 'neath the wasteland wind I roam these barren lands alone This is where I belong This is my home As the valley holds its weeping song you better sleep with eyes unshut or the wilds they will run you out of luck Though this is where I do belong And this is what I call my home I used to call my home Used to be so strong Chorus: Through the valleys 'neath the wasteland wind I roam these barren lands alone This is where I belong This is my home As the rock would roll, so did the soil, so did my soul As with Rock n Roll, we had a ball, we filled the halls Nowhere do we go from here 'cause no man leaves the land! 03:33 Whammy solo by Kris No man leaves the land! 04:02 Epic nylon solo by Ken I'm on my way, home again. I'm coming back again... mama!! I'm coming home again ------- I am extremely proud of the end product, it's just more organic than anything I have been involved with before - and it's oozing chemistry between the participants and the original song structure by Cael! |

That's sounds great Kris! Nice job all around.
I do agree with JSTCRSN though that you should leave out the final 'again'. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

Cool!! This project has been very inspiring. It's interesting to see how the same idea can take different directions regarding composition, arrangements and production.
I remember talking with Cael about feeling uncomfortable in a band situation when you don't share the same thoughts regarding the direction of a song. This question goes for Cael, what are your thoughts about the final result of this one? I imagine that you had a completely different idea of how this one should have evolved... do you like this one more, less, the same? -------------------- My lessons

I remember talking with Cael about feeling uncomfortable in a band situation when you don't share the same thoughts regarding the direction of a song. This question goes for Cael, what are your thoughts about the final result of this one? I imagine that you had a completely different idea of how this one should have evolved... do you like this one more, less, the same? I think it can be down to the initial mindset about it too. The idea for this was very much based around being for GMC, left a bit open to interpretation and I was in a way "less attached" to it that way, as opposed to going into writing or working on something while having a more complete vision for the project. With that said though, what I thought about originally was less busy than what you guys have here, but that's not to say it's in any way bad - and I don't mind it as I'm not THAT attached to the idea of the song, if that makes sense - from a compositional viewpoint. When I was 18 I played with a drummer, and we were very much into the same kinda music and was very much on the same wavelength. Maybe that has skewed my ideas about how a band should be If it's a bigger vision and project that I've specifically and intentionally set out to do, then it can be difficult when people take it in a completely different direction that doesn't feel like it's working. I never felt that with any of this though Also, be sure to check out the current mix here: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...st&p=796085 |
