don wilson Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I spent 5 hours recording these songs today on a borrowed Zoom machine. I have my first gig in August and I am rehearsing a Swing Set... all new to me.......... this is my way of practicing..... record them...slate them....improve them (Hopefully ) Thank you Steven for giving me the urge to do this..... Warm wishes from Wales:) Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aldertate Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I really like tracks 10, 6, and 5. You seem to have a great feel for this style. It was a pleasure to listen to. The only thing I didn't like about Leroy Brown is that I'm not sold on the vocal effects you're using on that song... Yeah... not much of a critique here.. guys more knowledgeable about this style might be able to give you some tips, but... they sound really good to me... Have a greeeeaaaaattt shoooowwww.. as they say. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a greeeeaaaaattt shoooowwww.. as they say. I had the same reaction. 8 and 7 seemed either too present, and not present enough, and then things equalized out. Maybe it was a bit of time to get into your 'comfortable' zone. Anyway, the numbers 6-1 all sounded great. Good recording quality, balance, presence... the issues I mentioned in the post last week were all resolved. One of the songs seemed just bit too low to be optimum, but overall, nicely done. I enjoyed listening to your casual, authentic club swing style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
