Sometimes, raw IS better :)
Hey guys, I just felt like sharing this little beauty..
Someone asked me to make an acoustic song out of lyrics he wrote... when I'm sked to do that, I usually sit down with the lyrics, and play around with them until something pops up, so that's what I did.
I pressed the red button, and played for like 3-5 hours till something stuck. I kept the best parts of my two best takes and mixed them. I then slapped on some effects and called it a day.
So yeah, the execution is faaaar from perfect, but I just love how it just works anyways.
One more reason to always let the red button on at all times

Any comments on the mix/execution/philosophy?
Cheers,
Greg.

I really enjoyed this, esp because of the "it is what it is" vibe.
What turned out to be a cool accident, though, is that I have one of those Atmospheric programs (a prog that randomly plays thunderstorms, the crackling of a campfire, rain, cicadas, etc). It plays very lowly in the background, and it was going thru a rain with occasional thunder phase while this played. Took me there.

Damn your voice is so good!!
This kind of song is where you are at the best.
There's a few spots the first 30 seconds where you can tame the guitar (more than a bit) Too raw

Dude! that's a wonderful accident! I could totally hear that song playing in the background while driving on a stormy night I need that app!

Thanks! Yeah, I enjoyed writing that little piece. It was supposed to have more instrumentation and a nice, clean production.. But I think this is where this song is at.
Yeah, I could clamp the guitar's compressor a bit harder in the softer parts .. As a matter of fact, I'll just do that thanks for the hot tip!

It's called Atmosphere Deluxe.
I have the PC prog, but I'm almost sure they have an app version also.
It's my thinking, reading, writing (prose) background "noise." Love it.

Yeah, great performance, even with the guitar doing loud DONK once in a while

OK, OK, I'll slap a more aggressive compressor on it
I could also re-record, but I'm afraid to lose the magic
