Ruse - first cottage session track to share on the new forum

Hi all,

Well, super that this forum is back and even better…cheers, Peter! :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

So, here’s an offering. My partner in crime, Paul, worked on this song at our cottage session last summer but it got parked until a couple weeks ago. Put some finishing touches on it and about as good as I can make it, so here goes.

Paul played some delectable bass on this one and offered some BG vox as well. No shortage of IK stuff here either (MODO Drums, TONEX o’ plenty, Syntronik, Stage 73, Pianoverse, ST4 & Miroslav for horns, Joe Chiccarelli vox strip, and some TRackS plugins).

Ruse is a little more upbeat than my usual songs but I figured it was time to try something out of the usual.

Please give it a spin, f/b welcomed and hope you enjoy.

Take care, all and hope the link works!

Michael

Hey Michael,

I say keep trying new things because this track is great. Tell Paul the bass track and the BGVs were awesome.

Keep 'em coming

Hey Dan,

Thanks for the listen & the feedback. Will see what comes next!!

I’ve passed along your message to Paul already.

Now to check out your new upload!

Hey Michael, great to see you back here with the new forum and am really looking forward to getting back in the saddle with you guys.

Cheers, CS. :slight_smile:

Hey Michael, really nice track, great vibe and atmosphere.

It feels natural and well put together, and the mix sounds clean too.

For my personal taste, the drums feel a bit too roomy, but I completely get the direction you were going for, it is just a preference on my side.

Looking forward to more!
