Title: Other shore - new 'acoustic' track with vocals
Post by: Frederik on July 30, 2008, 08:00:54 AM
After my (failed) electro experiment another acoustic based track.
It starts of pretty slow (the real refrain only comes after the second verse), but is has a nanana-singalong part towards the end to make things up  ;)

All comments and suggestions appreciated as always!

Nice laid back song, plenty of expression and some excellent vocal harmonies.

Frederick, this is a very good song.  Super lyrics and a very interesting backing track.

If I could make one suggestion it would be to change the ending.  I would delete the drums at the very end and end with the chord ringing out.  BUT that is nitpicking for sure.

It’s a keeper.

This is a very, very, very good song!
The vocals, and harmonies, are so good that they (IMHO) could do with a little *lift* in some way, maybe with some panning.
I would also like to hear some EQ tweaks to bring out the acoustic guitar a bit. I think that would help to carry the vocal along. Have you tried *Classic Compressor by Kjaerhus Audio* on *acoustic* preset? This would bring out that crispness that, to my ears, is missing.

Thanks for the kind words!

The guitar lacks crispness? - if I only wouldn't be to lazy to change the strings every now and thenthat would never happen
West coast vibrations - well in fact I do live at the west coast (albeit of Europe)  ;D

I always change strings when they break.  ;)
