Thanks! I’m glad to hear it made you smile. Your track made me smile!

As for technical issues — I’m still trying to figure it all out. While I can certainly lower volume, as for compression…I’m still trying to figure that out! This was recorded on a Fostex VF160 (old school, I know!). I am open to tips! As I said — this is my first! (I guess I’m doing a bit of growing up in public here.)

I did some tweaking at your suggestions Mr. Neurowaxx…perhaps it is improved?

Yes! much better. Great job.

Quote: NeurowaxxMade me smile. Nice vocals and great use of the guitar track. A few adjustments of the mix will make it even better (lower the volume and add some compression on the vox, lower the guitar and add some compression….)
Mix and mastering again! Nerowaxx sez right… Launch de lux sound to this se lux hitparade song!

Thanks Ciggi! I just was so taken by Neurowaxx’ infectious groove, I couldn’t resist. And thanks again for inspiring me to see this little song through!

Thank you Mr. Moon. I did have fun! Can’t be all angst all the time, now can we? But I must admit, there was no real synching here — just playing along with a terrific track that made it all so easy.

Thanks for listening and leaving such a nice review. I don’t hold out much hope that this little song will be a global hit — but if I garner a few smiles from my friends, I will be satisfied. :)

Tnanks for listening FB and leaving a review — I really appreciate it. I had a lot of fun with the vocals — this is one of those songs that wrote itself in about one minute, and didn’t involve a lot of torutous vocalizing!

I’m glad you thought it was adorable, Kaer, as cute was part of the plan. And of course you can do harmonies — You are an awesome singer!

Thanks Denny! I appreciate your listen and kind words.

Thanks for your kind words. You really inspired me to move forward with my idea — so thanks again for that! And I’m counting on you as I make my way into the darkside!

I sure do appreciate your kind words! Fun is good once in a while!

A colorful drink with an umbrella sounds perfect! Can I join you? Thanks!

Awe thanks! Means a lot coming from the cutest little duck dancin’ round here!

You’re the best E.! You really helped pave the way for all us by example and through your invariable support and encouragement. Makes a girl feel like she can try anything! So super thanks to you!

You’re not late — you know the party can’t even start ‘till you arrive! Thanks for your kind words and next time, bring two kegs!

Thanks RT — but I don’t think I’m quite ready to be a member of that prestigious club yet— somehow I seem to have managed to just slip in through the back door. Looking forward to learning more though, definitely!

Thanks MC-J. Just goes to show what a great place ccM is and how it is filled with all kinds of ways of experiencing music!

Thanks Colab! It was really fun to do this song which was easy given the terrific elements. The Neurowaxx track set the tone. And Haskel’s terrific guitar playing brought up to shine.

It’s so nice to hear that we took you to that fantastic snorkeling beach. Haskel and I are packing our fins now, we’ll meet you there soon! Thanks.

The only real regret I have about the ten year sojourn in California my wife and I had was that we never went snorkeling in the kelp beds off Catalina. Now and August are the time for that—if only we still lived in LA!

You can always visit! We’re not all that far… ;)

Awesome! The early low-fi reggae days were definitely an influence, so it’s nice to to hear that came through. Thanks!

Quote: DoKashiteruOne of the best songs, I’ve heard in a long time

Coming from you DoK — that is quite a compliment! The elements were just so there — the great Neurowaxx track which inspired the tune and then of course Haskel’s terrific guitar playing which is perfectly tasty! I’m so glad to hear you like it!

I’m so happy to hear that you’re taking us to the beach with you! Are we taking the convertible or your van? Thanks!

Thanks Anchor!

Thanks Mr. The Joe. The groove was built into the Neurowaxx track, accentuated by Haskel’s super guitar playing both of which made it easy to sing with! I’m so glad to know you like it.

Thanks Chuck! If we can make you get up and dance — well that’s just about the best compliment we could receive!

Thank you! :)

Thanks Jacinda! Sure do appreciate your kind words!

Thanks! Nice to know we helped to brighten up your day!

Thanks!

Thanks Jazzkitten (I love your name!). I’m so glad you had a chance to listen!

Needless to say, I find ccMixter to be an amazing place! This community is filled with such a wide variety of creative people who repeatedly impress me with their musical efforts, and continually offer new ways of hearing, listening and participating in music. ccM is expansive enough so that there is room for everyone. I do not know if I can even fully communicate my gratitude for somehow landing here.

Kudos to you Victor for all of your efforts and work — you are elemental in providing this platform for so many of us to not only express ourselves, but to experience the expression of others in an environment that is full of good will, support and encouragement. Your commitment to the musical conversation allows those of us involved infinite exploration of sound and relationship.

And of course thanks for the ed pick, which if I am honest, did take me by utter and complete surprise, as has the incredible enthusiasm for this song. So thank you for everything!

Thanks Per! You really make me wish I was there — what are you drinking tonight? And can I have one?

I found a forgotten bottle of whiskey in my suitcase. Not very French.

Thanks so much for listening and I am so glad you liked it — means a lot coming from you!

Well Mr. Beat Gorilla — that is a fine association indeed! Keep on rambling and see where it leads you! Thanks so much for listening, and taking the time to let me know you like the song. Sure do appreciate it. (I love your new avatar pic by the way — you are just adorable!)

Thanks for listening! Haskel is an amazing guitar player!

It’s so nice to hear that you enjoyed this track! Thanks for listening.

Thanks Copperhead! So nice to hear you like the song, and I sure do appreciate the comment!

I’m so glad to hear you enjoy the song. I love the rhythm too — that is all Neurowaxx who shares a lot of really great material! Thanks so much for leaving a comment.

Thanks Kara — so pleased that you found this dusty ol’ thing. And ya — it was my first remix eva… this is the true beauty of ccMixter — it really has been my musical school and playground!

Right on. I am 100% with ya’!
