Broken Home

[Kody]

It's been too long! I've missed you guys...Hope all is well wherever you are!

[Redler]

Brilliant songwriting with touching performance. I like your voice, fits perfectly on music like this. Nice work on guitar, too...

Enjoyable listening!

ps. Welcome back!

[StephenM]

wow....I would suppose that if it took 11 years to come up with this it would be worth the wait... gorgeous song, singing...love the particularly heavy bass.... I am new here, since August (old guy, old musician, but relatively new songwriter).... anyway i will be digging back through some of your old stuff....look forward to it...  perhaps you could post a bit about your recording process here in the thread as well...also I will be placing this nice song on my SC folder that i listen to when running, driving etc....

Welcome back and a excellent song to come back with

Missed you too Kody, great to hear from you again. This is a wonderful track, open, effective and heartfelt. Great feeling in the vocals and I love the production (drum sound in particular). The strings (synth?) are a really subtle touch as well. A fanatstic listen, a great way to say hi after an absence. Welcome back!

[Kody]

Thanks for the kind words, guys.

I moved on from the Boss multitrack recorders a while back to tryout the computer-based recording world. I use Presonus Studio One as my main DAW. For drums on this one, it's EZ Drummer, but I've since splurged and upgraded to its older (much more expensive) brother, Superior Drummer. There are two midi tracks on the 2nd verse - the strings you hear are from a plugin called Omnisphere & the piano is just a stock vst included in Studio One, both played on my midi controller/keyboard. I believe the acoustic guitars are 3 tracks - panned hard L & R, and one up the middle. The bass was recorded direct into my interface and beefed up in the box with a bass amp simulator plugin. I always planned on going back and throwing some vocal harmonies in there, but to be real that'll probably never happen lol - On to the next one!

Lovely - welcome back Kody!

Cool production skills here on this track. Everything perfectly placed in the mix - love that bass sound - lovely laid back vocals too. Great work; well done.
