Description:
so i originally posted this as an open collab, and a whole bunch of people posted versions of it, which inspired me to go ahead and write a melody for it (that and my decision to finish every song I start, no matter what).
I've had Bronchitis for the last week or so, and it has moved into my right ear (all plugged up), so I hope this sounds okay.
Hardware:
intel mini mac, m-audio 49e MIDI keyboard,line6 pod,ibanez archtop electric, metal slide,

This is great Michael &mdash 10/18/07 - 05:02:10 PM
Very nice to hear all of the possibilities being offered up by your original track
Love your singing here and the melody - not sure about that tight reverb you have used tho.
Hope you are getting over the chest infection

you know what &mdash 10/18/07 - 05:27:00 PM
I was thinking the same thing about that reverb. makes it seem a little bright for hte rest of the track, and it's kind of hovering over everything else. any recommendations for vocal effects that aren't obvious (for a basic vocal track)? [ Reply to This ]
A good all rounder &mdash 10/18/07 - 05:58:14 PM
is logic's platinum verb. It all depends on what you are trying to achieve and what gear you are using to achieve it with.
I am not sure what the equivalent of platinum verb is in GB, but as both logic and GB share the same audio engine, its definately there in some form.
One thing I have noticed with GB which I have never liked and now am trying to avoid it like the plague in the new Logic pro is the way it sets up those presets across the channels. I think its ok to use that kind of thing in some circumstances but I think one has to be really careful about blindly applying the presets every time you do something.
As you can appreciate, it is difficult to find a common language to describe the colour and texture of sound in general and the same applies in describing reverbs...
My main advice would be to try and let the reverb breathe (a slightly longer tail/room size) and try to avoid too much tonal colouration in the eq of the reverb (which sometimes happens in these GB presets)
I am sure the presets in GB must be tweakable? [ Reply to This ]
actually &mdash 10/18/07 - 06:10:15 PM
i used a different plug in and it doesn't come with any presets (although you are right on that point). It's the same one I used on the backup vocals, but I should have played with it more before committing. Thanks for the tip about avoiding the EQ on the reverb, I did mess with that a bit.

great song &mdash 10/18/07 - 08:40:47 PM
You did a great job here. I love your voice. Lots of tender emotion that is oh so sultry yet very soothing. Downloaded and faved. Thanks for sharing another hit! [ Reply to This ]
wow &mdash 10/19/07 - 09:51:44 AM
never been called sultry b4, but i'll take it. thanks very much, i'm not a technically great singer, so I'm glad when people get what i try to do. [ Reply to This ]

what the hell? that's really weird. I can't wait to hear your version one of these days (just messing around - no pressure). [ Reply to This ]
So in love &mdash 10/19/07 - 04:59:17 PM
with your voice. Although the track itself is kind of slow and not all that emotional. The addition of your voice (GOOD clean recording) is friggin sweet like honey. Damn I love that voice. I heard the collab you did with micheal and vic, and the 2nd voice (yours, duh!) really triggered me. In the latter track, I do think your voice isn't mixed that well (too soft). But boy! I digged the end thingie as well (and i mean at the very end, funny wahwah fx?)
love, Jb
Ps; I am gonna bother you for a collab, one day...one day. But rather on my terms (read: skills)..please!

BRONCHITIS !!!! &mdash 10/19/07 - 11:35:40 PM
... hey that was MY line ... heh heh .... you did a fine job on the vocals (bronchitis and all) ... maybe this comes from writing an "infectious" tune that many people wanted to "jump on" ... did you have a hard time after hearing everyone else's version - trying to get "their" melodies out of your head while singing your own version? Probably it was the other way around .. hard hearing YOUR song being sung "all wrong" ??? hahahaha [ Reply to This ]
actually &mdash 10/20/07 - 01:23:51 AM
i wrote the melody a couple of weeks ago; and Mystified had sent me a copy of her version, but I didn't want to listen to it until I wrote the melody for this one. i did a scratch vocal I hated, and then got sick and never got around to re-recording it. so i just left it, and cleaned them up as best I could.
thanks for listening (and joining in). [ Reply to This ]
Hey bro... &mdash 10/20/07 - 03:21:20 AM

My life is complete now and so is this song.
I was hoping that you would come back to this song and finish it with your lyrics and vocals.
This has got to be one of my most favorite songs.......ever! [ Reply to This ]
yup &mdash 10/20/07 - 06:01:34 PM
Right on Micheal - Nice one &mdash 10/20/07 - 01:12:08 PM
Man I love listening to your voice - you express every word w/ an inflection that truly resonates w/ me.
The arrangement is right on w/ the g'tar and all. Nice performance, sir.
Great writing, too!
Certainly, I took one for the road - Thanks! Macca [ Reply to This ]

thanks much. glad you like; funny thing about this song: i wanted the drums to be repetitive, and now with vocals on it, not so into them. oh well. thanks for listening. [ Reply to This ]
Ahhhhhhh......yes :) &mdash 10/20/07 - 02:59:18 PM
I love the colors you've painted with your voice on this canvas.
More sparse (than my version w/ Bryn) and it works so very well. Moody and melancholy--and the vocals are lovely--bronchitis and all!
I'm so glad you invited the rest of us to join in offering our own interpretation of the instrumental track. Each resulting song is so different. Very cool :)
Thanks, again! :) [ Reply to This ]

oooops &mdash 10/20/07 - 10:22:35 PM
Not sure why... &mdash 10/22/07 - 12:04:13 PM
...but lately I'm hearing a lot of music that nails exactly where I'm at, now.
This is no exception...I could live here for awhile...like the weaving lead guitar in there. Nice touch.

to hear this variation. This melody rolls around the listening space like a warm scented oil. Wonderful performance, and great treatment of the vocal effects and overall instrumentation. A real pleasure to hear!
Thanks for sharing.

Mike Duce ! Been so focused on my music lately im finnaly gettin round to listening to some others again ...: ) Dude this song is frickin awesome ....great playing and you have such a great singing vaoice . loved the poetry and loved the sound bed so much .....sweet song ! [ Reply to This ]
First listen &mdash 10/31/07 - 01:33:42 PM
To your music, but i have to say I'm impressed, This can put you to sleep I mean that in a good way. Very mellow and light, It's like lite beer when you don't want to get drunk or gain weight, but you still want to get a lil buzz,, If i was a musical expert i would say the vocal reverb is too tight but I'm not yet so it was a pleasure.
Thx. [ Reply to This ]
you are &mdash 10/31/07 - 02:52:19 PM
absolutely right about that reverb on the lead vocals. one of these days I will get around to changing it.thanks for stopping by. [ Reply to This ]
Where have I been? &mdash 10/31/07 - 09:49:24 PM
I like this Mike! A nice smooth kickback and contemplate the day kind of tune. Like, where am I going , wheres my part in all of this? Man can I ever relate! Solid production and "very nicely" done my friend! (The slide fits perfect) unlike Feter, I'm on the bottom of it.

Hey &mdash 12/05/07 - 10:27:44 PM
this has a great overall sound to it.
The guitar chords ring sweet with the piano' strings.
I dig the electric guitar leads.
Vocals here are what I learned to love working with revers fork.
nice Mike
