Topic: Long Way Down

This is a new song recorded on my new recorder and I've put it to some photos I've taken on holiday and of my family at Christmas. I hope you'll take a look and offer some comments. Follow the link...

Hey Phill - I felt it had a more Steve Winwood sound to it. Good song and performance.

Re: Long Way Down

thanks for the listen guys, the reason the backing vocals are low is because that's how i want them (they're not very good)

i dont have a lot of patience for editing, photo's or sound which is why the video is rather ropey, the pics fitted at first then they went doolalley so i left them like that!

i lost my voice last week so i'm still recovering.....

Re: Long Way Down

It was a great presentation Phill.  I liked it.

Re: Long Way Down

I enjoyed listening and viewing your family photos Phill.
You seemed to have mastered your new Tasam the mixing and editing was fine to me even through the headphones.

Re: Long Way Down

thanks pete.

was that a pun ark? mastering? in all honesty it's quite an easy machine to "master" apart from a few tweeks here and there it's very straight forward. as for editing, you can put all sorts of ins and outs etc fx the works. then stick it straight onto CD.

Re: Long Way Down

Hi Phill
No pun intended. Just a poor choice of words put it down to me being rubbish at written English.
Well done with the song..

Re: Long Way Down

come on tony, i love a good pun, please pun away. just thought you might like to know, i've already made 6-7 recordings, and this one is the best of the bunch, the rest are crap, but it's all a learning curve and i'll get there in the end....i hope!
