MiltyG565 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I left my computer to download the lot, and went out to my mate's. Came back, laptop had run out of battery, but it was OK! It must have finished downloading before it ran out of battery! YAY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonbass Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 What an amazing track to work on; thanks Si! Can't wait to add in the other BVs. This will be my first proper outing with Logic X, and I have to say the revamp makes it sooo much more user friendly. What's the deal with the pretty vs correct keys, and YLS vs missing overhead? Am I missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Any chance of getting the lyrics at all..? I'm sure I'm missing part of the 'feel' of the song for not being able to catch it all, and it would help (me, at least...) better interpret what's required. Can it be done, please..? Pretty please..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile, my old cloth ears can't pick up the subtleties behind the vocal gymnastics, and it's a bit frustrating. Old age is the problem, not the performance, or the recording. We'll discuss again in 30 years time, perhaps. I'll repeat the request, whilst thanking you for the suggestion. I think the modern expression would be "My bad...".

xilddx Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 (edited) You look so good tonight I forgot to breathe You look so good tonight Keep your hands at your sides Did you leave something on I can feel something burn At six o'clock I thought At six o'clock I thought of your face I got my fingers caught My fingers caught in my knicker lace Something's not right tonight Some consolation Something's not right tonight You're a man, you're Not a child Not destroying a star You're destroying a constellation You're weaker than I thought You're weak and I'm starting to shake I haven't got an eraser In case we make a mistake Tomorrow you'll wake With head and heart ache Lungs right out of air Breathe in the breath that I forget to take In your big grey eyes I can see the wires You got bored of nice Your striking matches don't set me on fire Higher, higher, higher ..

MiltyG565 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 What an absolute pleasure this song is! Don't really need to mess about with "fixing" stuff on this one! Even just setting the levels right, it sounds good enough. I really don't know what I could do to make it much better, but I've added an amp sound to the bass, just to beef it up, compression on some tracks.
