A lament for those of us who record at home. An international online collaboration. Mr. Wilson-drums. Mark-lyrics, vocal, lead guitar. Steve Strummer-rhythm guitars. Grant Starr-lead guitar. Dave Logan-bass. Bayoubill-slide guitar.

Everybody and their brother is doing it now: writing, performing and recording at home. I do it, and, in fact, my brother does too. In my case, I play guitar, bass, dabble with keyboards, mandolin, and banjo, and sing. Furthermore, I've even built two my guitars and a bass, that last of which I gave to my brother. I do it all for fun and the love of music, with no commercial aspirations whatsoever.. My gratitude to the people at the Cakewalk Forum for all their valuable advice and criticism.

Lyrics
AudioSnap, V-Vocal, Sonitus EQ or go with parametric, I just don't know what to do An fx bin full of plugins, how's a man to choose My DAW has so many tools to use Baby needs new shoes but I got them low down Sonar Blues I used to be a family man, I had a loving wife But now my baby's left me, she says I need to get a life She took my kids, stole my dog, drove off in my car She says she won't be coming back 'til I put down that guitar Guess I'm paying my dues but you know I got them Sonar Blues.

Hey Mark, I really enjoyed this collaboration - kudos to all involved here. Love the phasey lead guitar throughout the song! Your vox still has that edge I've always liked. Guitar work is exceptional. Mr. Wilson's drums are a bit too soft, imo, I would definitely boost its performance as it is driving the song nicely. More snap and more depth would definitely give it more presence. The bass, while a delivering a great pattern, has minor timing issues. Nothing a bit of editing wouldn't fix, though. Vocals - as mentioned above, nothing I would change on the singing part. Perhaps, add a bit mid freqs to your voice and cut the very high freqs as they (for the Blues) sparkle a bit too much for my taste. The lyrics are fantastic - actually, I've always wanted to write a song about the woes in our lives caused by our hobby ... :-) Great song!! Heinz.
