I've mixed this again with different drums and backing vocal and tried to balance Zeeks nylon strings better. Comments will be appreciated. http://tinyurl.com/cl5gqww Thanks, Vic Edited by Vicarn (01/28/12 12:04 PM) _________________________ It's never too late? Yes it is, so do it now.

Travis david Travis david Top 200 Poster Registered: 06/22/11 Posts: 1946	Hi Vic & Zeek Like it like it. That instrumental has worked wonders to an already good song. Wish I could say you have a hit on your hands but we all no the chances of this happening, regardless of the songs obvious merits. Great number all round.

Haven't heard the previous version, but the nylon string guitar does a perfectly good job for me. Best of luck.

Scott Campbell Scott Campbell Top 10 Poster Registered: 07/22/05 Posts: 10861 Loc: Lakeland, FL, USA	Hi Vic: I really like it - the nylon sounds very cool. Colin has probably forgotten more about guitars than I will ever know about them so you might want to give his opinion more weight. Myself, I think it's a little busy but I'm not positive yet that it is because the leads are competing with each other. Might be something else getting in the way - possibly the rhythm guitar. I do like how the leads are panned and the parts seem more complementary to me than competing - at least most times. Or, might just be something as simple as bringing the nylon down a little in the mix. I found it a little distracting to have the harmony vocal and harp panned so far to the side. Well, you'll figure it out. The hard part of getting a cool song and cool musical parts to go with it is done. $\:\)$ Scott Edited by Scott Campbell (01/24/12 08:49 PM) _________________________ Scott's CD "Full Assembly Required" on CD Baby Scott's EP Some Assembly Required - Free download at Prosity Records

niteshift niteshift Top 100 Poster Registered: 12/17/06 Posts: 4053 Loc: Sydney, Australia	Hey Vic, Great song, especially like the vocalist ( is that you ? ) good contrast with the guitars. This song reminds me of something out of "Natural Born Killers" or perhaps "Pulp Fiction". Written in an older style, but because it's done in a timeless way with effortless vocals, it just works. Random thoughts..... * Intro works well, and provides interest before the song begins * Once into the first verse, the guitars get confused. If there's a vocalist and 2 guitars, one guitar plays rythem whilst the other plays counter melody to the vocalist. Maybe try pulling up just the vocal and acoustic, ( or the vocal and electric ) and chop the acoustic track to only play where the vocalist is not singing....... except for the last line of the phrase, where both can play in unison, and give lift to the next musical phrase, eg.... Vocal cut with acoustic Vocal cut with acoustic Vocal cut with acoustic Vocal in unison with acoustic * The drum track has a way over done reverb put on it, it's annoying and not needed. * Needs proper drums. ( If you want an acoustic drum map done, and know the BPM, I'd be happy to do a mock up for you ) * Vocal EQ needs sharpening, the phrasing is almost spot on, but needs more depth, and the reverb is too high, and the presence needs accentuating. The opening lines of the chorus need to be strong and well stated. ( A bit wobbly at present ) * Harp is great in the chorus, and really lifts the song * Needs bv's in the chorus, perhaps female 2 part * Lyrically, it tells a great story in a very cool and laid back way All in all, I reckon it's a "classic" song which if worked on, would work up really well. cheers, niteshift _________________________ niteshift @ IAC Music niteshift music @ blogspot KAW Creation - The Internet Collab KAW Creation on Twitter

They came with Sonar(Session Drummer)so maybe the reverb's already on it. Vic _________________________ It's never too late? Yes it is, so do it now.

Little_stevie_b Little_stevie_b Top 100 Poster Registered: 05/18/01 Posts: 3262 Loc: Hickory, North Carolina USA	Really fine song with some great lines in there Vic. The arrangement sounds a bit thin to me though. Like there's something missing. Maybe the lack of a bottom end. If there's a bass in there I'd bring it up. If not I'd definitely add some bass. But other than that, as to the song itself, you really have something good going on. Stevie

The nylon does sounds a bit hot to my ears but my ear are shot after to many years playing far to loud. Also some of the phrasing that Zeek is doing could be a bit smother but I get what he's trying to do and it sounds cool. Might be better with a Start sound. Smoke and mirrors is a great title. I think you could go for a Chris Rea style tune with this rather than a country vibe. Like the Road to Hell tune.

The song already has three versions now so maybe I'll do one more. Thanks for the idea. Vic _________________________ It's never too late? Yes it is, so do it now.
