I Hide My Face

The return of the old augmented chord. Got it in twice :whistle:

That’s a belter, Craig. Love the squelchy bass sequence.

You know, I have to be absolutely honest here, and say this is one of the best tracks I have heard in this forum. Your vocals and harmonies fit the song perfectly, and the storyline of your lyrics is well-thought-out. The instrumental presentation is superbly mixed, and sounds completely professional.

Kudos to you for such a masterful performance…

(btw, I hate your guts!)

j/k LOL!

Every track Craig does qualifies as one of the best. This is stellar.

Can you tell me the exact recording process? Done to a click first? Drums programmed later?

Love the augmented stuff, you old Beatles nut you. :agree:

:agree:

Yes (to all three)

(Still stuck in the major-minor rut myself)

Thank you for that link to your song…


This style of song is SO-NOW…
:agree:
:)


What’s not perfect about it ????




:agree:








Bill…

Don’t know how you keep getting better Craig. This is superb. No need for details, it’s all perfect :agree: :agree: :agree:
You make a guy want to give up this lark :p

Yeah, Willy, and how long has Craig actually been recording stuff?
I seem to remember just a few years ago when he actually expressed some doubt about whether he should do it.
:laugh:

I remember when The Spademan Hit Factory was wondering if he could manage 50 songs in 90 days for FAWM........now that's a week's quota :whistle: :)

FAWM in nearly upon us, Willy, I order you to join in! Here’s the link:

www.fawm.org

Now you have no excuse!

Tom could easily do 50 in 45 if he set himself… :agree:

You guys are too kind!

Just for the record Tom, all tracks DI, then normalised, then noise reduction, then compressed.
Order of recording…
Click, picking guitar (left and right), drums (battery), rhythm guitars, bass, vox, backing vox, then the synth/sequenced extras. Lead guitar was last.
Then mixed and all run through my ‘mastering’ gear (expander, limiter etc.)

No eq apart from some of the tracks having highs boosted.
Only the odd effects such as reverb and a touch of something on the guitars.

I still have those doubts… :;):

i didnt think this was as strong as the last 2… still the same incredibly pleasant catchy style & the voice is solid gold but i still think your a morissey without a johnny marr… im sure ill get shouted down as ussual but saturday night i speak my mind :laugh:

TINA’S CORRECT, YOU ARE CORRECT, TINA, HE NEEDS A MARR!!!

:laugh:

It’s saturday night here too and I have to should b/c the kids are all making a ruckus. :laugh:

No shouting down BLT!
Constructive criticism is good!

EVERYONE SHOUT DOWN CRAIG! :)

:)
:p
:agree:

this is nice.. Listening to it again..
