Hi all,
This is my first post to the forums (though I've read a bunch). I've had this wonderfull program since Jan, 2010 and I enjoy it more all the time.

Just looking to get some feedback on what I've done so far. I think I have 6 or 7 songs done + 1 I'm currently working on.

All Vocals and most all guitar solos are done by me as well as a lot of background guitar parts, all other tracks are RT's. Some I started in BIAB and then finished in RB, others are done completely in RB. I'm finding the more I learn the less I need to start in BIAB, although I won't hesitate to start there if I think I need to:)

Big thanks to the posters in the tips & tricks area (especially Ray Thigpen) his tutorial as a starting point was invaluable.

A little background: I've been playing guitar and writing music since I was a young teen. I'll be 50 in Jan. Also played professionally in bands for 25+ years and then took a break for 7 or 8 yrs before getting back into it about a 1 1/2 ago.

My songs are posted via a link to my MyMusicStream page.

You Are Everything
Road Away From Me
That's Why
(These were my first attemps)
Papa's Song
Take Me
Be My lady
(are me recent projects) Still not happy with the mix on Be My Lady, so that one's a work in progress;)

Also have another that's almost done.


Anyway, all comments certainly welcome.


Thanks,


Greg

Hi Greg,

“Be My Lady” is fantastic. I love the vocal and harmonies. Great geetar picking! My only criticism is that the vocal gets lost in the background. IMHO it should be more up front, but that may be just me and others may disagree.

“Papa’s Song” is also very good. Great mix and again super picking!

I will listen to the others later.


My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Mario,
Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate all opinions;)
Be My Lady was a song that I thought was gonna be a breeze when I started it... but for some reason (probably some form of neurotic obsession) I seemed to fight with it. What I thought it should sound like vs what it was shaping up to sound like. I've mixed this song so many times I've lost count, finally had to just get away from it for a few days. I agree with you on the vocal level and I actually did another mix last night and changed some pans and levels plus did some different compressor/EQ settings on my master copy... Better, but still not quite there! :-)
Oh well nobody said this was easy... Just Fun!

Greg
