So Long
Well it does seems a long time since I've uploaded something, I'm getting together with a friend I haven't seen for 35 years on Wednesday, I'm gonna let him have a bash at writing some lyrics to this, he won various awards at school for poems, he's always fancied a go at writing song words, so it might work, we'll see. In fact it was him who introduced me to Pink Floyd, so this song is for you Colin, it's been 'So Long'
Bought a Line6 Bass pod, first attempt using it, I'm sure I can improve upon it, although I still like it. Electric guitar also a Line6 pod, used rhythm pick for the first time with it, I really like the lead tone.
When I initially recorded the rhythm track, I sensed it may be too short, see what you think, if so I may extend it and add perhaps a keyboard effect section or similar, Or I could do a similar thing as an intro??

awesome denis!!!
the beginning reminded me of stairway to heaven (im sure Iszil will have fun with that). but it was a good kind of reminder.

I really love this. excellent work!!! excellent production as usual. This is probably one (i have many others) of my favorite tracks by you.  
I love how it breaks out at around 53. Some minor timing issues and whatnot, but I think you mentioned that this is kind of your first try. ahgahgahhag AMAZING LEAD TONES.

strange...that line6 bass pod seems to be working out pretty good.
excellent song, great thing to build off of.

Like all your uploads, this song was great!

Loved the guitar solo from 1:27 and on.

The solo sounded a bit latin-like - sounded cool with the mood of the song as well.

Looking forward to the next recording with lyrics.

Great piece..
Pops and clicks here an there..
Noise remover over done some, it muffles some of the crispness of the acoustic guitar.
Snare panning doesn't work for me,rather keep in the middle as you would in a regular kit.What drum program are you using?Or is it real? Nice work

Yeah you may well be right about the noise remover, I ran it through twice, hence when I recorded the Acoustic, it was raining, you could hear the rain in the background, I would have probably left it if there has no hiss, I'll run it through again. It did seem OK when I did it though, still I'll try it again. 
The snare should be middle of pan, I'll check that too.  I know I accented the snare on a couple of the fills, that must be where you heard it clipping
The drum program is EzDrummer, Vintage Kit, It's Awesome.  Most of the rhythms are presets, I changed some of the fills a bit and created the cymbals at the end.

Thanks for your observations, you have GOOD EARS

Hmm I don't think I set-up the EQ properly when I used the Bass POD, still yeah it sounds not bad. Yeah want build on it for sure, I want to have enough Classic rock songs to produce a Classic Rock Album ;)

Yeah I was originally going to put a Rocky Hammond on it, and yeah it will sound great. It's my first song I've written in ages, I'm a bit rusty..lol, as mentioned above I want to build on and around it, I feel a theme brewing , or at least I would like to think so

Cheers
