Hey guys,
after getting some new equiopment and adjusting to yet another learning curve, I have finished tracking for Driveway. The mix here is rough and as seems to be my signature these days, there is a bit of distotion in the main vocals. I will be doing a full mix and master job this week on it. Just wanted to get some input at this stage and have something to compare against when it is finished. Added an aurgument in the break. Not sure if it's too lame or if it fits. (Too close to it myself) Please let me know your thoughts.

Feb 28, 2005 12:35 pm Well, I must first say that I've been listening to the other version since you put it up pretty regularly... it's one of my favorite songs, period . Just from the first listen this new version has some elements I like, and some I find more appealing in the first . I think I'm going to have to listen a bit more to give it a fare shake, so I'll comment more after a few more listens . Nice work, all the same Philthyone !
Feb 28, 2005 03:35 pm Well I certainly can't find anything at all to criticise mix or otherwise. If you get it any better than it already is that will just be icing on the cake. The song itself, is awesome, and very well done, something I would be inclined to even buy a CD for!
Great job philtyone. :)

Awesome song! Your vocals sound very professional. You have really improved your acoustic guitar sound since you first started posting your music. I think, however, that the acoustic at the very beginning of the song needs a little more "boominess"...I wish I could tell you what frequencies to boost in the EQ...experiment a bit.
One of the most commercially professional sounding recordings that I have heard around these parts!
Keep up the great work!

Feb 28, 2005 11:13 pm Yeh, definately a brilliant song!
I think the mix sounds spot on.
The vocals are a little flat in parts but other than that this rocks!
Teriffic arrangement too!

I did not expect the kind of comments I'm getting. Thanks so much!!! I tend to agree about the guitars. Just a little thin. The eq on them will need some adjustments. I am in the process of going through the vocals with Autotune (graphical mode is so damn cool)and should have them dialed in. Question though about the argument in the break. Does it work or is it a little over the top??
For the record, I bought a JoeMeeks TwinQ for recording vocals and other instuments. This thing really rocks!!. It was pricey, but I split the cost with my partner. I thinkit was the best money I've spent since starting home recording.
Mar 01, 2005 07:51 am I really enjoyed the argument in the break...something different!
Mar 01, 2005 12:32 pm Yeah, much better than the first . Ya got a better sound on the acoustic this time, but still just a bit thin . The kick is not so intrusive this time, either... nice and even sounding . I really like what you've added for background filler... and it builds at a good pace through the song up to the argument, which is also a novel touch . Maybe bring the guitar solo up just a tad ? I can't really think of anything else... it's just such a damn good, well-written song, it would probably sound great with you and a bongo ! heh
Mar 01, 2005 05:27 pm Hey Philthyone,
How did you mic up your acoustic for this? I'm just interested, because I think it's very close to the sound I am after, but just with a little more body to it. I'm always up for trying new mic'ing techniques.
Mar 01, 2005 09:32 pm Jim,
I used two pencil mics and pointed them in opposite directions right next to oneanother. the set were places just about at the 12 fret and on pointed to the sound hole and the other to the neck.
