Would anyone like to hear my Song?

Quite a while ago I posted a leadsheet for a song I'd written. I can now give you a recording of it.

I think my daily bandwidth allocation should allow 21 downloads of it a day, so if the link doesn't work, try again tomorrow!

Would very much appreciate your comments. And if you want to see the leadsheet drop me a PM and i'll find a way of sending it to you.

 

nice, man

 

Cheers!

 

That's a friend at uni. Don't know a singer called Sade. Will have to investigate.

 

nice man, I like the sax solo

 

cheers, mate!

 

yeah tis wicked, i really like it *thumbs up*

 

nice one on all levels, sax! great lounge vibe going on there! her voice fits nicely, the band is tops and that sax solo is just right... I always thought I'd be impressed after hearing your stuff... it's nice not to be disappointed

 

that sounds great great.
tell me the set up did you play/ seqeunce every thing yourself?
it's very professional sounding

 

I agree....that song sounds very professional. Really nice.

 

Cheers, all of you!

As for the recording, well there was no sequencing involved. It was all played live, and every instrument except for the synth strings sound is real, and even that was played live on a keyboard. It was however tracklayed on a multi-track session. Was all done in pro tools (wouldn't have been my choice but the 24-track 2-inch tape machine was on the blink), down at my university's recording studios in the music department. I didn't engineer the recording or mix it myself, because i'm away from the university on placement, so I had a second year do it for me, but I did go down to play sax on it. Other musos at the university played the other parts. I've just got hold of the pro tools multitrack session and I'm going to try to convert it to a format I can use on the kit at work so that maybe I'll be able to produce a remix or two.

 

This is awesome!

 

Oh. I love it.

 

Very chill man, good stuff

 

good work man! sounds very nice, something you would hear in a lounge, and just chill to.

 

The song or the quote?

Cheers for your comments, lads and lasses, much appreciated!

 

mmm jazz lounge..nice chords... tasty... this is proper good. the sax solo is bee-you-ti-ful! were they all live instruments?

 

Everything except the strings is a real accoustic instrument recorded with a microphone, and even the synth strings were played live on a keyboard. I played the sax part but I let other people get on with the rest of it since I couldn't be around in Guildford for very long. To this day I do not know the name of the pianist, haven't even met the bass player (or perhaps I have, no idea as I don't know who played it) and I don't know who played the synth strings part either.

 

I really enjoy it.. good job.. your a good music

 

That's some good stuff... though it sounds a little.... digital at times. It's very well done. I love the sax.
