Its a cover of the famous "Yelling At The Christmas Tree". Was alot of fun. The tune lost some luster when converted to 128 mp3 format. Let me know how the mix sounds. What needs adjusted. The cymbals may be too bright. Sounded good on my monitors but with headphones and pc speakers they are bright. May be just me. My ears are shot !! Let me know. Link Below

Dec 02, 2007 01:12 am The recording's OK, but the drummer sounds a little nervous.
Dec 02, 2007 01:42 am That would be me. Im a one man band. Im learning drums and I struggle and get wore out some times. Getting old.

Don't try too hard to be a virtuoso if you're not one yet. You need to develop the proper muscle memory.
Relaxation is key to playing any instrument. Drums are easier to hit than you think, and they sound much better when you're feeling the song ;)
There are excellent learning resources available. Videos can help. Get in the habit of performing everyday procedures like brushing your teeth, unlocking your car, or manipulating zippers with your nondominant hand.
And listen to top hits of the '70s.
Dec 02, 2007 12:02 pm I do try to hard at times. And usually I redo the drums over and over until I get them ok. This time I did not.
Dec 02, 2007 04:07 pm Interesting little take on that dity. I don't have time to comment on it now but will try and get to it later.
Dec 02, 2007 06:41 pm Ok, some people said it wasnt in your face enough. So I did a Hotter Mix real quick. Squished the hell out of it.
Dec 05, 2007 10:55 am THAT IS LOUUUUUDDDD! How'd you get it so loud? I guess it's pretty squished all right.. :) I love this, I think you did a GREAT job. A lot of fun. You have a great voice too. Definitely IN YOUR FACE! Fun ride, man...
Dec 05, 2007 12:48 pm cool song. the vocals are dylan-ish to me, which kinda throws me off. But pretty good mix, and I likes the guitar. A little pitchy with the vox here and there but it doesn't really distract. Nice job.
Dec 05, 2007 05:34 pm Thanks !!! Just started singing because I couldnt get my kids to sing my covers. Should here my first attempts. Pretty sad. The first mix I did I didnt use hardly and compression. The one posted now has a final mix compression vst on it. I actually could have made it louder but I hate doing that. Thanks again. Workin on an old Aerosmith tune now.
Dec 05, 2007 06:06 pm Ya, this mix turned out pretty good for sure. And I agree with Dungbeatle, it is freakin loud!
Dec 05, 2007 06:17 pm You said, "Just started signing" you mean American Sign Language? :)
Dec 05, 2007 07:56 pm You know Ive been doing that alot. Words like "what" end up waht. And singing ends up signing. Ive always been a good with grammer and now its gone to pot. I corrected the psot above. :)
Dec 05, 2007 09:09 pm Fact is, I'm a bit dsylxeci myself... And I'm a programmer... :)
Dec 05, 2007 10:17 pm I hit 45 years old this year and its been down hill ever since. Sucks big time !!!
Dec 06, 2007 02:47 am Bushmaster, you passed. The compression/effects made it happen. Really.

Dec 06, 2007 12:48 pm Thanks !!! Im learning everyday. I read about the "loudness wars" and hate to fall into that category. I listen to old and new stuff and definately hear a difference. I figure if its not loud enough for you turn it up. But I can see a happy compromise. Make it loud but not to the point its mush.
