  • Yes, I don't know where the static is coming from. Like I indicated, I will get a good microphone and I believe that will solve the issue.

    I still think the rhythm is the key to getting a professional or rather a listenable recording regar…

  • It's certainly recording quality but even if I recorded in a professional studio with a professional engineer it's the rhythm that needs to be perfect (with imperfections) and that I believe is what separates professional sound from not professio…

  • Thanks. I have commented on numerous original recordings by others on this great website. The problem is now most posting are lyrics and AI generated music. That's awful! Why can others just do an original song? Open guitar chords, vocals, simple…

  • The guitar solo near the end, at 2:05 to 2:20 sounds to me very similar to some melodic Clapton solos. In fact at 2:05 there's a repetitive melodic lick going from a minor to a major note, which Clapton used in a number of famous solos, such as "…

  • Thanks for listening. This piece was done in a strong classical form so I believe the vocal line had to conform to being highly melodic. Even the outro guitar solo is highly melodic. Very similar to some Eric Clapton solos. The middle break is ob…

  • "Waist" was supposed to be "wasn't". Thanks for letting me know. I corrected it.

    In this song Nigel's old man was crazy but the idea is that negative social relations can deeply affect people. This can come out hanging with people where dr…

  • This is AI, right? Otherwise it's bloody fantastic!

  • This is really good. I think it would a lot better though if you smoothed out your voice a bit.

  • Thanks. I just listened to it again. It's ok; just experimental. My next song will be with the new microphone and will be a complete song.

  • Thanks. I'm probably not going to record anymore standard sounding music, like this one. I'm going follow what I feel and it will sound like some of my other pieces that have a kind of classical sound to them. I will do my best to upgrade the sou…

  • And/or not wake up the next morning. Just ask Brain Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Keith Moon, John Bonham, John Entwhistle, Prince, Tom Petty and the countless others famous and not so famous in the music world. Oh, wait, you c…

  • I wasn't saying I was anywhere near the level of Hendrix; just saying the overall sound was in a Hendrix style, as opposed to say Van Halen.

  • Thanks for the good laugh.

  • Which part is channeling Hendrix? About all of it! The opening guitar solo. The blues licks after the lines "in a whirlwind baby" is total Hendrix. The guitar tone. The subtle psychedelic effects. The derivative rock sound in the chorus. All Hend…

  • This is a great forum otherwise. I'm surprised there are not thousands of people using it daily. There are so many musicians , songwriters and lyricists in the world and to be able to have people around the world review your work within literally…

  • Thanks. I was just making the point that there's always two sides to everything - just like Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote in his essay "Compensation". That is an excellent and very short essay. You (anyone who reads this) might want to look it up and…

  • Readily interpretable? How about the name, Rainy Day Man? Did you know that it is the tile to a famous James Taylor song about a drug dealer? I personally thought the name gives the impression of someone who is "down" in temperament. So even your…

  • No! Not true! The word "ecstasy" was used in the way Ralph Waldo Emerson and other great observers of humanity have said - that "life is ecstasy"! It's true. I am in no way promoting anything other than that! I meant that once "I found it" it w…

  • I know what you were saying. I just wanted to tell a true story to give others some encouragement to follow their dreams. I don't know how many times the person I know had rejection, if at all, but I know they said that they worked regular jobs f…

  • I know someone who moved to Nashville many years ago. They worked regular jobs but were still playing music. Through networking there, after many years, they are, without revealing their name or anything, a major player in Nashville and around th…

  • I never liked AI since the first time I heard of it.

    As far as the South is concerned I wish it lived it up more to the all the good, fabled things it's know for - gentlepeople, hospitality and decency.

  • Thanks for listening. The reason for the "reverb" on the vocal is that the vocals were louder and therefore picked up the previous vocal track(s) when I overdubbed without using headphones. Your suggestions of keeping it central or panned on one …

  • Maybe because "You no understand"?😉

    I think when the lyrics came to me I had nothing in mind, was just "riffing" and that came out, sort of like someone with a foreign accent. Then I changed it in the song giving a contrast of weirdness, o…

  • I think the line is the original input from a human being the basis for the sound. For example, you record a vocal, the input, and then put an effect on it like an echo or phase shifter. That's still genuine and it comes across as so. What AI doe…

  • I believe we didn't say that "storing" of sound was the devil. It's only be a little over a 100 years since that technology. It was miraculous and embraced by the world. Imagine music without it? AI is artificial and it clearly shows.

  • I would like to know how it sounded if you actually played it and recorded it.

    I currently don't like AI in any way for anything. Recently I relied on AI for gift return information of a particular store, because that information was not k…

  • Great. The middle part can be left alone. That's supposed to be "as is".

  • I got the lyrics, too. Recently though I can confirm that some people do know solutions, depending on the situation, that you don't know. If they tell you it's great and even better that if you take their advice. I put such advice off for some ti…

  • This is much better than the last one I heard! If you could put other instruments to it (I should talk) it might be really good. It appears you are listening more closely to what you are doing and it shows. You are so lucky to be on Cape Cod play…

  • This is far better than the one I heard before. It's text book folk with some melodic pop mixed in. Could be nice with other instruments. But, and no offense, it also has a bit of that same sound that you'd hear at an old aged home on a weekday a…
