esses I forget but does LE come with the Deesser plugin? I know it's in Pro. If it does, use that and it really does work marvels. The reason why you might notice them more is if you are recording in 24 bit you might have more range in the recording than you would notice in Garageband. Logic does handle the audio differently internally, I believe, though I don't have any real concrete explanation as to how or why. You'll notice that things sound livelier in Logic and some things are a little more hyped at both ends of the spectrum. Just my opinion. You just have to adapt a little bit. Super song, by the way. I actually don't hear any real problems with it. That doesn't sound like midi jazz drums, the way the kick drum booms. Reminds me of Randy Newman in one of his more pastoral moods. |

Hey Micheal Congrats on Logic... It really isn't as bad as it appears... I can help a little if you need hint. I'm no pro but I switched to logic express then pro a while back and I'm now much more comfortable in those than in GB. This is of course nice and for some one new to the program you seemed to master getting this one together pretty quickly! Nice! |

Deffo Flaming Lips vibe.. Big Star and Robyn Hitchcock too! And your voice gets better every time I hear it. I really like this tune a lot! |

Spot De-essing I'm so excited to think of you with all the toys in Logic. I saw Jim mentioned the De-esser. I used to have a lot of trouble and before I decided to say, "oh, screw it," I used to have success with using automation to dip the volume at the essiest moment. I always got the best results that way, but it was a pain in the esss, and doesn't really seem to mesh with how you work. Not to mention that I was listening to the song and enjoying it and didn't really notice any essiness. I really, really love this song. The hook is terrific. As other people have said, I can hear tons of influences. I hear Robyn Hitchcock, too. The drums at the the end remind me of I Am the Walrus. I had the urge to wave my hands over my head while listening and will do so in the future when I am alone with my iPod. Thanks, Michael. More great free music! |

GB So, let me get this straight: You did all that other stuff on GarageBand????? Oh man, we are so screwed now. Michael2 is going to rule the musical world and out-do us all! BTW, Nice cut. Lovely orchestration.... Philip |

Cool Beatlesque Production. The sound quality is very good. It'll be interesting to hear what you come up with in this program, oh and the song is great but that is always expected from you. |

To me this sounds like a hybrid song that could have come from sunflower and here come the warm jets (think on some faraway beach or some of them are old) welcome to the wonderful world of logic audio...i have been living in it since the days it was called c-lab creator and ran on an atari ste. The new world of logic 8 is so much more intuative to use, i am sure you will enjoy the magic let me know if i can ever help you with any tips or advice b |

Michael2 logic I think that's typical that using a programm to sound much clerar, you start by putting a lot of noise on the drums (as a farewell to GB?). You're not only a gifted musician but also prone to experiment, which is great. btw, Do you feel making sings in Logic 8 takes more time as you have more options (and tricks to learn?) |

Another great song. I love that ominous drawn out ending. |

M2 Right after the intro, may be one of the best things I've heard on this site. Extremely original and creative. And well delivered vocals. Man, you're good. Dave |

I'll Be Sad michael - you're just amazing. I got LE for Xmas, loaded it, messed with it for like, 30 minutes, broke out in hives, haven't gone back. So for starters, I'm very impressed that you did all this on your first try. And then secondly, this is a GREAT song (as usual) |
 | guitapick said 119 days ago |

Yes... ...I definitely "like" this...great tune. Your lyrics always blow me away, too. Wonderful work, man. If this is an "experiment" with LE8, then I'm very much looking forward to hearing when you've got it down. |

1st attempt? Very impressive. Lovely shifting soundscape and great instrumentation. Blimey, and this only a start.... Cheers Dick |

Awesome 1st Piece with Logic . I have Logic 7, but I never learned to use it well, so I go back to GB all the time. The song itself is excellent. I love the lyrics - I know just what you mean! The music is perfect with it, too. I didn't notice any sss sounds - but I'm listening on powerbook speakers. |

Great song fabulous feel and instrumentation. I'm partial to the lo-fi kinda sound (are the bass drums, snare and odd floor tom supposed to be clipping/distorted a little? - that might be adding to the general sizzle) .. doesn't matter - I think it's a great song .. and mix wise I'd keep the gritty low-fi bed sound but try to 'polish up' the vocal tracks- really for three reasons: 1- you have a great voice 2- a sweet polished vocal would contrast the lo-fi bed well I think and 3- er .. you have a great voice! I have Logic Pro 7.. but seldom have the inclination to use it... now that's a chump!! lol. |

wow ... ummmm ... michael ... can you hook me up with that person who "pisses" you off .... they kicked out a darn good track from you .... couldn't hurt ehh? : -] seriously ... very nice man ... |

Great song I like this a lot. The lyrics are direct and elegant in their directness, and your vocal is really nice. The orchestral backing is effective, I think, and the drums work really well. Good luck with Logic. I find it all a bit scary! Nice one. Peace. |

wow So much for a learning curve. Love that chord progression. |

Singing Your singing sounds so effortless and in the pocket. Especially impressive with the slow tempo of this song. And thanks (or not!) for inspiring me to give LE8 a shot. |

logical this is awesome! the recording sounds great. fun orchestral instrument choices and brilliant major/minor conflicts by the strings. like the lyrics too. nothing like some exciting new software to get the creative juices flowing. |

Another great song and performance Michael. Lovely production too. Cheers Len |

Yu know .... .. I had issues with an "Sssss" sound once on one my songs ... then after my Dentist FILED my teeth down ... that sound disappeared ... hahahaha oh wait .... that was that darned old BAD Fitting Bridge I am talking about .... (the bridge work is better - the song still has the original LITHSP sound in it) hahaha .... don't file your teeth .... song sounds great the way it is ... (to me ... it was a cross between Beatles and Vic Holman sound .. ) Interesting how everyone will hear a little something different huh .... |

back for another listen and download. love the orchestra stuff in this one, man. what's the deal with that stuff? do you play it on your keyboard or are they samples? i need to get into that stuff. really like what you did with the drums at the end too |
 | jiguma said 117 days ago |

You won't look back Michael Logic is far superior to GB in many ways - 8 opens up all sorts of alternatives. "Livelier" is the word for sure. It sounds like you're about to take a giant leap forward - watch out for that wall though :) I'm not crazy about that kick drum that sounds like its clipping - there are some great sounds in the "Studio Tight" kit in the "Acoustic Drums" channel strip preset. Excellent song - LE8 is a real addition to your arsenal. Cheers, Neil |

Beautiful Michael the virgin birth from LE - such a fine tune as usual and there's so much emotion and tempered touches here. Wonderful. It's like lo-fi orch. |
 | eleveneyes said 115 days ago |

from the moment I read the title I knew I liked this tune. Sweet and twisted - just the way I like it. This song is genius! Blue Velvet and Robyn Hitchcock come to mind for some reason. |

From listening to this I have the feeling that it wont take long for you to master Logic.It is surely a very good start regarding program usage and the song itself is awesome. I dont think the instrumentation constrasts with the lyric subject.In my opinion, it complements it. I would really like to hear the strings at the intro with no drums at all.I think it would would sound much more dramatic.But thats just me and my drumsless wishes. This is very good, Michael. |

man... This is one of my favourites of yours. This is a very impression first dabble with Logic. Such beautiful song. The drums sound awesome. The orchestration is brilliant. I'm really glad you hang around here. -Rain |

Wow This is one of those songs I want to fave twice! What a beautiful composition and gorgeous performance. It's one thing to lick your wounds with a song, but quite another when that song heals those who listen. I feel better somehow, too. So thank you! Makes me want to get in there and crank a song. If only I could do that as well as you do. |

Hell of a start on Logic The stuff you will be coming up with now will be frighteningly good - add that to your already brilliant stuff and....well maybe a new genre is in order: ubermenchen music. |
Such a contrast between the sweet music and the somewhat covert meaning behind your lyrics. I don't know... if there is a way to think of someone as dead to you before they actually take their last breath, it would be much easier to bury your ache, your desire for the expectation you had. Death makes things final and provides the ultimate closure. I got involved in your song and it made me think. Thank you.
