AnneS Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I mentioned elsewhere that we are interviewing mastering engineers next week, now that we have final mixes in hand. If you'd like to sample: Three tracks We have sometimes discussed, here on the forum, the various pros/cons of studio work and production adds. As a general follow-up, let me say I'm very glad about the treatment choices we made on this project. In this sampling, you'll hear the density of a battle scene I wanted for "Tribe," the sparse, dirge-like ambience I wanted for "Come See" (which, by the way, is the title track for the CD), and the ironic carnival attitude that I wanted for In Parting (End of the World Song). My Bob does good work; everything that is not me or my acoustics is him (except for the electric guitar on Tribe; I had a friend come in for that.) But that piano on "In Parting?" No wonder many of us regret not learning to play it... Anyway, there you have cuts 2, 5, and 9 for your listening pleasure (I hope). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trans Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Love it Annes! I feel it! Awesome delivery sound and timbre of the acoustic guitar. Trans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayoubengal1954 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Great job! I love the way your voice is up enough in the mix to hear the words clearly (many times that is not the case...a pet peeve of mine). I also love the arrangements of all the other instruments to enhance your songs, especially the rollicking piano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j45nick Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Really, really good! After the jolt of hearing Tribe for the first time a few weeks ago, this time I could sit back and listen to the irony of your paean to modern isolationism and paranoia: grab your guns and lock those "others" out. It just made me more determined than ever to never get sucked down that rabbit hole. You do have a somewhat grim view of the world at times, but it does help you write great songs.

Thanks, Nick--yes, I wondered if that selection weren't a bit darkly bent, taken together. But have no fear, I have a tonic for that: Four more (Gravity, Sweet Return, Truest North and The Company I Keep--all shined up and ready to go.) Thanks for listening, friends--you're all quite kind.

Old Neil Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Are these your original compositions, Anne? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneS Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 Are these your original compositions, Anne? Yes, Neil--all 11 tracks on the upcoming CD are my originals. Songwriting, like singing, came on later in life for me. Making hay now, I guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flatbaroque Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Thanks Anne! Shaping up beautifully.I like the mixes.The additional instrumentation is complementary and subtle.Your voice and guitar are at the front - which is how I like it. Lyrics are crystal clear aurally and in intent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
