[Dream Of Sleeping]

I'm quite happy with how it turned out. Any comments welcome and appreciated.

You should be happy with that. Very moving in that creepy sort of way.

Thank you. I checked out your song and left a little comment.

This is a good recording and an interesting song well sung. It is an odd little thing, the type of song where you don't know how to feel about it at first, and then it "grows on you". I really like the sound of the guitar. Can you describe how you recorded it? What is playing the bass line? It blends beauitifully.

Thank you.

The acoustic guitar is double tracked. I used a condenser microphone quite far away from the guitar, but my room is pretty dead because of all the acoustic foam. Although I added plenty of reverb later.

The bass is a real bass guitar, but not put through any amp sim at all. Only a little bit of eq. The strings are old and I played each note softly with my thumb. Just luck that it blended so well.

This is really good. The guitar is well performed and recorded.

What a "refreshing" sound in the way that it sounds very well done, but very different from the usual songs found in the forums. It's very hard to catch a certain feeling without making it sound corny or too "home-made".

A thin line that you walked exceptionally well, Sir! Hats off, I would love to hear more like this tune.

You legit have very distinct, dramatic delivery, recognizable from afar. I'd say it would be marketable (quality-wise it already feels "radio ready"), if there was a market for unsettling stuff like this, not sure how much more overwhelmed people wanna be in 2020

Thank you. They always just come out this way. I'm not gonna fight it anymore and just release miserable tune after miserable tune. haha
