mario.. moi also looking forward to it. i got a question for you chaps. (its difficult i know cos we arent in a studio where song arrangement discussions can take place rapidly.) how do you hear this song ending up .. "sound picture wise". do you hear it sparse ?? just groovin along ?? OR..with lots of likkle instrumental flourishes (sax ?? harmonca ?? flute ?? violin ??) coming in and out of the song ??
by the way Offthewall. fyi.. decades ago i went to uni , not far from you mate. (i'm showing my age..lol...but saw Who live with mooney on drums, may he rip. twas a wild night. totally bonkers.lol.)

Personally I hear it sparse, think “Fever”.
However it’s up to everyone else. When it comes to collaborations I generally overplay my part so the song’s author can pick and choose what they want. I just consider myself as a hired hand.

Yes, I think I agree with Mario. I usually tend to 'overdo' arrangements and throw everything in, but with this one I have a fancy for letting it creep along with instrument 'phrases' being dropped in at the right moments. I'm looking forward to getting some more material to mix in. Manning .... interesting that you know my corner of the world... we'll have to chat about it in another thread, mate. James

Here is my take of the song. The guitar parts are the first thing that came to mind. Feel free to use all, some or none of it. If you want more and/or have any ideas on what I can add please feel free to contact me.
I’ve included an OGG file of just my raw guitar part, i.e. no compression or other effects. This should line up with the mp3 track.
Let me know what you think.

Manning I go to bed when you are just starting out .... Do you fancy making a 'final' vocal ... based on the ruff that we already have. Just the vox with no backing and no processing. Do as before and stick a marker on the front for lining up. Render it to OGG stereo and I may be able to get a reasonable mix by tomorrow night. James

offthewall (btw in uk you are 5 hrs ahead of me. 8.21pm here , so your in beddy byes asleep at 1.21am.)
re final vocal. before doing this...i need heavy critique//input on the guide vocal, n anything people dont like. 1. are the lyrics ive added fine ?? if so i'll keep to the lyrics as they stand. 2. what bout the cheeky "she kissed me" at end. ok for the song ?? 3. any vocal words themselves that dont work ?? 4. the general texture of the vocs ?? anything people would like changed ?? or..for example any phrase ive sung where people go "ugh"...dont like it. or where its obvious a note is very sharp or flat. (i dont use autotune n dont believe in it..lol.) i mean hit me with critique n i'll try n change anything people dont like. cos what might sound fine to moi might not with you good chaps. i just need guidance cos often i'm too close to it. and others spot what i might have missed.
if whole new vocs are needed , i wont be able to do it till wednesday cos ive set aside wednesday the whole day for this song (and thursday if need be) but sunday thru tuesday i have family things with my dear wife cos she is off from work n i like to give her some fun in her days off from work.
however if you want the ruff vocs as they are totally dry (no processing) i can send em tomorrow (sunday) if that helps with your mixing . (as an ogg file if you wish )
god bless.

Manning, personally I would NOT change a thing. I really like it as is. Maybe we can talk James into keeping what he has now

Good morning ...08.28 here. Just had breakfast. I'm fine with keeping the vocals as they are. All you need do is send me the unprocessed file, preferably in stereo and OGG. I'll take it from there. James
