I really love how close your voice sounds in this. Lovely song, the simplicity is not all that simple here -- I really like that all textures are very close & also quite intense. Also a lovely moment at the end!

Great feel, I really love the groove with the guitar strums and the drums, creates a really interesting groove.

The acoustic sounds great.  I really like your up front vocals with minimal, no effects.  Simple but works well. Are you using brushes on the snare?

Thanks. I did crank the preamp quite a bit for my vocals. It does give this "close presence" to it.

Started this one with the acoustic guitar using a click. Then removed the click when I tracked drums. It did leave some space and freedom to "groove" ...

Yes, did use the metal brushes on this one  I think it suits the track. Quite a bit of compression, a touch of reverb and a touch of chorus are the vocals fx...

Thanks a lot for the feedback guys!

You've captured a great acoustic guitar sound here full of rich tones.  The synth adds a really nice little touch.

I agree with everyone the acoustic sounds so damn good.  Nice panned in the stereo field and mixed in great with the vocals and laid back percussion.  Well done!

What can I say that hasn't been said? Sounds really good.

This is a very nice, laid back song ^_^

love how this song builds from just guitar and vocals - really nice!
it's a nice metaphor for how our excuses can build sometimes as well

Liked the feeling of this one. Super relatable. Nice acoustic sound!

Thanks! I did get this tracktion retro 106 plugin for free with my soundcard, and have used it twice already this year... I like how it works with the acoustic guitar.

Thanks, just used the duplicate track trick, moving just a little second track later, but didn't hard pan L R, It really worked good on this track.

Happy it does!

Thanks.

The fun part about this, is I was just making excuses not to go compose - record a track when I did think about this theme. We can all do stuff that we love that doesn't requiere money but with life, stress, and many other circumstances (at least for me), many times I do not do things that I really like.

Meh.

Yes, I think we all have our struggle to just get into the things we like to do sometimes.

Thanks a lot for listening all!

Nice guitar playing and I like your drums on this! I wish it's easy to make motivation, it is too easy to make the excuses

Motivation is overrated...

Just do it!

Je répète ce que d’autres ont déjà dit, mais très bon boulot à capturer le son de la guitare acoustique. On a toute la qualité de l’instrument. J’aime bien ce morceau simple et raw. Les layers de synth sont aussi un bon accent au milieu. Peut être un de mes préférés parmi les morceaux que tu as partagés!
