Hey folks,

Im finally back in the recording game . Been saving up for a new studio system and I finally got things working again.

Im a little rusty on the recording side as my last song was released in November 2003 but I thought I'd get this little idea down so I dont forget it. Consider the following recording as nothing more than an artists sketch of an idea in progress. Please excuse the guitar for the moment, I need new strings and its hard keeping the thing in tune at the moment lol. Anyways, enough excuses, you'll get a rough idea of the new song from this at least

Its Been A While (Pre Release Rough Version)

Thanx

Lewis

Very smooth.
Nice hook.
And the guitar sounds very organic (like it should!!!)

thanx folks. its good to be back on the net full time too . I can finally listen to what ya'll are doin now. So, you guys think the new track is different to my other stuff? Trying to go for a different sound on the new album but keep the same cloud9 mission vibe.

Heres a question for ya, do you think this is good enough to pass as a finished version??

Let's not get all crazy Lewis, good ideas but too rough for a final.

Although, that's relative because I've recorded some rough stuff that I didn't care about releasing to anyone who'd listen.

Cheers dude

Try right clicking on the link, choose 'save target as', choose a location on your computer and hit save. It will download the file to your computer which might take a min or two but will give you the whole song to listen to at once instead of downloading bits of it.

Been working on the final version today

Nice groove Lewis!

This is very very nice. I agree that no, it's not final CD stuff - you're clipping in a few areas.

Also - just me - but the drum loop - you gotta fluff it out a little more - something on top of it (IS it a drum loop? is it you?)

Great stuff. Very nice. Sorry I didn't see this sooner. I'm in a real studio doing a real CD, finally. So, my hours are spent: babies, day job, studio, 6-hour coma, repeat.

Yeah the drum loop aint the greatest quality but it has a nice feel, gonna hopefully use my uncles studio and get some live drums on my stuff finally.

Cheers mate
