Popular Post SoundOfAGun Posted July 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 21, 2021 Over the last couple of months, @lame ass security and I have been working on a track together. He sent me a few lines for a first verse and chorus, a track title and it went from there. Once we had a full verse and a chorus, I sat down and came up with a riff, vocal melody, and chords to go with the lyrics. I sent it over to him on a crappy phone recording and he was happy that the essence of the lyrics were captured in the music and melody I had put down. We have had changes made to lyrics along the way, discussions about rhyming conventions and how lines would be delivered, then early this month I put down the final vocals. I wanted something special for the guitar solo for this song, so I asked a guy I know here in the UK to add a solo and something at the end for this track, he put down the solo in a few hours and we are very pleased with the results. This track is going up on the streaming services in the next few days, I will post links as they add the track to the services/storefronts, but for now I have a Soundcloud link below. The song is called Move The Needle, it fucking rocks, has more than a bit of GN'R to it's style and we hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it! 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powderfinger Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Great song guys. Got a bit of a Velvet Revolver vibe to it. The solo and outro vocals are killer. The mix is great, everything is in its place and nothing overpowers anything else. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lose my fucking mind when it comes to the mixdown, agonising over automations, delay trails and whether the guitar needs that extra 0.5 db of 7k... Always like to hear that the mix has translated! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Kudos on the job you done. There’s nice space in between the drums/bass they each get to breathe if that makes sense. It’s hard make a mix where each instrument hits that level where it can be enjoyed on its own and in relation to the instruments around it. The track sounds great. But it’s a great song, no mix saves a shit song. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we could ask for this to be put in the main section as it's a collaboration between two members, which would get more people hearing it and more opportunities for promotion? I don't really know any of the site staff well though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, you could start a thread saying "two guys who met on this forum a few months ago have released more new music than GNR in the last 12 years". it would obviously just turn into another complaint thread, but will give more exposure for a few days than the current thread. idk how stuff works on this site. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
