"Time to Fly Again" by Hardlock

[Satchwood]

Great song Ken!!  I can see a sunset in my minds eye ~ the tune fits together so well ~ great guitar work, lyrics, and vocals!   I really don't think you sound pitchy ~ i think your voice gives the song character, and yes a dreamy kinda effect...

Maybe Pop/Rock ?
Anyway, this is so cool, dreamy....I love it!
Great composition Ken.

I'd go with pop as an appropriate genre.  Good song with a dream-like feel.  You sing a lot better than I can - trust me!

Your voice sounds good here Ken.  Your guitar sounds real good.  If it were me I'd be tempted to put a chorus in where you sing in a slightly higher range, maybe with harmonies, to off set the very mellow verse vocals, that would be a nice contrast.  Thats my suggestion, other than that a very enjoyable listen.

Awesome job, Ken! I love this!
Such sensuous lines on the guitar. That's it, now I'm selling my guitars. You rock, baby!

[hardlock]

Don't say that Speed, I'm trying to learn your lead to the other song (thanks for posting BTW) and no way can I touch it.... I'm the one that should be selling my guitars!

Don't sell yourself short, there has been times when I played a cool solo in a song and could not accurately duplicate what I did the next day. Time passes quickly when dealing with 16th notes. Sometimes things get a bit fuzzy.

Little catch up on this one.  I redid the vocals, remixed and took everyones advice as well as added some simple harmonies.  Sounding better with the panned guitars and wet vocals.  

It has developed a major problem with S noise however.  I sound like the perv on Family Guy now........(or a tea pot boiling if you don't know the cartoon).......SSSSS!    

Any ideas on how to fix it w/o losing the cymble sizzle or having to completely remix?

BTW, here's a trick I think is worthy of sharing:

I originally ran 2 rythum guitar parts, one open and one closed.  Wanted to blend them so since I'd recorded them both to stereo tracks I panned each to mostly to one side (100-20) (20-100) or something like that (I use the MBR for almost everything BTW).  Then I bounced both to a single stereo rhythm track.  

To later get more separation w/o having to remix I tried another trick I stumbled on which is good for other uses as well:

Take and move one of the stereo track halves 1 millisecond (?) in time.  Besides the obvious effect (chorus, flange, or echo?) you get a real separation of the complete track.

Oh, yeah this is a good one! Music is killer cool, and I think the style of vox fits very well with it.

You should be happy - You made a great tune!

My panning obsession is now satisfied, lol. This remix is brilliant. The separation and little delay you've added has opened it all up beautifully. It's a proper dreamy soundscape now. And the vocals sit perfectly balanced in the middle, soft and lilting. I hope you're happy with this now - I would be!
