A Dog's Day
by Noah_Ohne
Seriously, you gotta listen to some Tom Waits. The instrumental was a bit too crowded. I didn't like the tone of the oboe? lute? Anyway, I think it would be best to tighten up that part and maybe cut out a few parts so you can make out exactly what is going on. You could also do that with adding some reverb, or panning.
Like the outro a bunch, maybe fade out on it?
All and all good job, I always enjoy the fervor you bring to your songwriting. I never have felt listening to your songs that you ever half-ass it.

Half-ass it.... lolol! It's all gas no brake my friend. My mom used to tell me that no matter what you do, try to be the best at it. "Best" being a relative and highly subjective term, I consider it being the best ME I can be.
It took me a lot of years to be able to do this and especially alone and the learning process is ongoing; especially in the area of engineering. However, there would have been no need for the investment in my time or money to half-ass anything. It is nice to know that someone else thinks that at least some effort was required. Thank you very much.
Yes, that is supposed to be an oboe... Korg's version anyway.... lol Maybe I'll work on the EQ or try another one. I realize it's not a popular sound, but I had to do it :-) I did however notice a few weak notes in the solo which affected the feel and I have attempted to correct that to make the line more distinguishable. Being a large fan of English prog-rock bands and having worked with one here in the U.S. for a while, the musical perspective may get a bit "open" sometimes. This was an attempt to recreate that "live" feel of jamming in 6/8.
Thank you very much Faustio for your great comments and rating. I like when responses are detailed regarding issues and the information was useful such as yours.
You have really peeked my interest in Tom Waits not though and I will be on YouTube most immediately to find out what you are referring to.
Merry Christmas

OK.... After a visit to YouTube, I can see where you're going with the Tom Waits thing. I've heard about him for quite a while, just never bothered to listen. Musically however, he's a long shot from anywhere I might be trying to go..... :-)

I don't really consider myself a singer as much as I do a story teller. I try to tell the stories in a more of less melodic way. But me.... a singer.... lol
