Dover Bay (Demo) - a cross of Jack Johnson and Ray Lamontagne

This is just a demo of a song I am working on for a little folk acoustic EP and I would love some feedback on it. The instrumental gaps will be filled with a lead instrument (not sure what yet) - I know they drag a bit.

Any comments on how this song is shaping up? Sometimes I like it and sometimes I don't - I need some comments here :) Thanks.

Thumbs up



Nice intimate sound - great voice; guitar sounds perfectly suited to the vocal...noticed a background hiss (noise floor?)

An accordion would make a great instrumental or perhaps an instrument native to Dover Bay?

The vocal double tracking towards the end adds more too - is there reverb or detune used?

Best, 101

Nice work.

It sounds like the computer fan is to blame for the noise. If so, there are many suggestions on how to deal with that.

As a matter of fact, I just bought a new fan today. If there's anything I know, it's computers :) (I'm a web developer/nerd). It's running silent and has made a massive improvement to the vibe/recordings.

You must have missed the word "demo". You can have the fan, though. It's sitting on the floor behind me.

That barely made any sense.

Oh, and for the record, I've come to hate this song and I'm not saying it's good or anything. It's outside of my element and, yes, boring. So, if you're just gonna put me down, that's unnecessary.

This could be done really nice............it's a touch 'pitchy' as you go along....You could make this current with the right arrangement....needs some work but you got a couple cool things going on......

Keep working.........
