Got a new one.

I thought that was great! Very nice flow.

The only thing that stuck out to me was the rhythm and drums seemed like they needed to be lowered. They seem to be over powering and the vocals are hiding behind them….. Just a little. Maybe decrease the level or increase the vocals and beginning lead work. The main lead part was fine level wise.

One other thing, the ending seemed to come quick. I think you should throw in another chorus after the main lead and end it the way you began it.

Just some observations

I think this is a great song and very entertaining. Thank you for sharing.

Mike

I like the arrangement and the song. Don't short yourself on the voice - what I can hear is working very well.

Three things really jumped out at me on this one:

1) The snare on that drum loop is really overwhelming. You may want to think about a compressor on that track to tame it down.

2) There's an odd resonance on the low end of the clean guitars in the first 30 seconds. Dunno if you're getting odd reflections from the walls or what. It fades away some about 45 seconds into the song. Did you move around the room while you were tracking?

3) The fade at the end is a bit abrupt. That lead's smoking away - take your time fading it out

I really think the drums and the resonance on the clean guitars are masking the vocals quite a bit. I'd tame those and see how much the vocals come out before monkeying with the levels on the vocals too much

Yeah I know about that clean guitar. It's a tough one to deal with. It's a signal flow thing and to be honest I haven't spent that much time on it. I'm gonna try and re-mix it from the ground up. About the fade out, well I'll be honest. I'm lazy.

Hmm. If it's not the room, try sweeping a low cut (aka high pass) filter between 50 and 200 Hz on the guitars and see if there's a point where it disappears.

Oh. I know how to get rid of it. I'm just lazy. I used an eq before the compresser but ended up with high end clipping. I just need to eq after compression and it should work fine. I figure, if I'm going to fix it, I might as well go ahead and do a complete remix.

Nice piece of song writing and I really love the arrangement, and the playing is excellent :D :wink: Mike and moonrider have touched on any thing that I would have noted. Nothing wrong here that a re-mix wont take care of, BTW you have a good voice, so don't hide it in the mix :D--the dog

BTW I do kinda like the snare drum :D

I remixed it. It's a bit more balanced. It's not perfect but better I think.

Much better, but you still need more vocals.

The ending still has me wanting more, but it ends.

Oh by the way Mooonrider. You were sort of right about the room. It was the verb I was using that caused that odd resonance.

Leaving you wanting more is not a bad thing in my mind. Re. the vox: I couldn't bare to hear more of my vox. That was my limit. Your opinion is appreciated and valued. Thank you.

That was much better, the vocal was just about the right level( could be just a bit more but i understand :lol:) I find that It makes people listen to a song closer if the vox is just a bit soft, so that's not a bad thing :D --the dog

I was just listening again, the vox was REALLY GOOD 8) 8) 8) Really made me smille :D :D :D

Thanks Smokindog. I appreciate your opinion.

The only thing wrong with your voice in this song is that there's a lot of energy around 600 and 1000 Hertz that's introducing a little mud into the mix. The performance itself is killer!

Here's something for you to try: Load the song into your mp3 player ( I use Winamp ), pull up the graphic EQ, set it so it's not boosting or cutting anything ( flat ) and listen to the song. Then pull the sliders for 600Hz and 1000Hz down enough to give you a 2 or 3 db cut at those freqs. Listen again and take note of: A) how the vocals pop right up where they belong, and B) just how fershlugginer GOOD the performance IS!

It's your voice. It's your song. It's not a "perfect" voice (whatever you conceive that to be ). But the fact is, the only voice that will ever be perfect for YOUR songs, is YOUR voice. Let it be heard.

Ok. Yet again I remixed it all the same components. Adjusted the levels tweaked eq. All the same pitch problems in the vox.

Passive Agressive sick of it yet? http://hue.dmusic.com
