Title: Sweet Sweet Love collab with hardlock
Post by: hardlock on March 01, 2021, 05:17:56 AM
Trev was nice enough to ok a collab I made from his great original here:

https://songcrafters.org/forum/index.php?topic=30754.0

I added a drum track (on mic channel with vocal effects 1 accidentally picked when recorded. Sounded RUDE enough for this great tune by thetworegs! Then bass from my Roland keyboard and lead using a couple high-gain patches from my BR600.

Hard to work the lead between the lyrics but hope I didn't step on any toes! :P

Others stated it needed full build up of other instruments and some said it was great as it (yes indeed) but this mix relays my vision of what I saw in my head with I first heard it.  Hope some agree!  Cheers!

Listening to this on my crappy speakers at work can not wait to fire this up in the studio and as they say crank it up I think the adds really help set this song off well done to all

Wow, great job on those drums! They have that real Bonham power to them. Excellent guitar work too and a great balance in the mix overall. Great job guys

Great rocker here and love the drumming. Got a Zep kinda feel and those guitars rock along with great aplomb. Excellent collab here, guys.

I like the idea that there can be multiple mixes/ versions of songs....some will like various versions better etc....
personally I love your drumming and it amazes me how well you play guitar as well Ken (considering your drumming roots) , I like this song alot before....and now it's a great song but really to me it's totally different with focus shifting a bit....
nothing wrong with it to me.... and i dig the bass and lead guitars....it has a modernized 60's lead sound....

Thanks for the good words all! I'll be here all week! ;D

Once someone mentioned for me to maybe do more originals. I was finding too many repetitions in my tunes so by adding to other's material it breaks me out to explore different styles as such. Always have fun learning.

Hell yes! Enhances and brings out even more of that Zep flavour. Really rocks now. You are some drummer (as well as guitarist). That lead guitar tone is so delicious.

Great stuff.

Love the slow intro build up, when the music kicks in, Yes it's bloody brilliant. Sounds like a led zep track. Great guitars, drums and vocals. :)

listening at home on my JBL reference monitors...this is a fantastic track... very well recorded and produced....  I really like the guitars... and the lead playing is incredibly original...demonstrates alot of wonderful lead techniques.... there is a bit of Matthew Sweet in the lead.... great job men!

You did a great job! The original was a belter but this adds even more to it. You did a fantastic job with the drums, and the guitar fits perfectly, enhances the track without stepping on anything. Very impressive that you are able to do this on a track that already has been recoreded, well done indeed.

Actually Trevor was nice enough to send me all the original WAV tracks from the song to work from but remixing a half-dozen tracks from scratch to replicate his finely produced original turned out to be out of the question for me!

You surmised that I build this version off the original mp3 posted where I just adding parts to it. Good call! :-[
