PLEASE !!!! I need a second opinion on my song!!

Posted on

Member Since: Nov 19, 2002

Hello to everybody.

I just finished out mastering to one of my songs hoping that it will be heard by an A & R.

I know very much that you are very talented all of you and i would like to hear it and have an opinion about sound. (Does it sounds like pro or junk?

The song is in Greek Language (cos i am Greek - don't bother with that because I would like to hear it as sound and not as lyrics.)

I depend on you, all of you guys because i don't have any related to me who can understand audio quality. Any comments would be nice (good or bad).

E.G. Please DBMasters give it a shot i trust very much your opinion.

The Url is

users.otenet.gr/~vgpallis/

It is only a link . Save as target on your disk and hear !!

Thanx a lot, all of you and i am waiting anxious!!!!

It sounds good for the most part... there's something about the sound of the cymbals I don't quite like, but I can't put my finger on it...

If I figure it out I'll let you know.

Other than that, it sounds great.

heroes is right the cymbals have a little too much on the 12k > band. try reducing some highs on them or boost around the 6k band. that will make the cymbals sound softer on the ears and more pro. but i really cant give an unbiased opinion because i specialize in rock recordings that have cymbals blasting the whole time. :)

I take it those drums are programmed. When the drums kicked in it started to lose quality. I like the song though and think the vocal is really good.

Yep, cymbols are too much for some reason, and the addition of a simple bass line would help (i think). I am very impressed by the recording quality overall, and any one that uses 2 hands on a piano amazes me. The only other thing i can say, is i have no clue what you said!
but its good song and i enjoyed it, wrong language and all.

Yep its better. now a simple bass line (from your keyboard is fine) to fill up that bottom end. Its just a suggestion, i hate to tell people stuff cause im a newbie too. But thats what i think!

Hello everybody and happy new year!

Tony, what do you mean a simple bass line?

You mean to boost the already existing bass line or to rewrite it?

Thank you for your suggestions and don't hesitate because i am very open minded.
Plus i am a relatively newbie too (i am recording in Cubase almost 6 months).

Hello!

Thanx for your comments.

I remixed it because i thought i lacked of bass.

If you want to give it a listen again i will appreciate it!

In the next phase I'll try to translate the lyrics to english for you...

Thanx a lot.

You are absolutely right!

I am unfortunately of those keyboard players who wants a guitar sound but they can't have it because :

1. All guitarists friends do not like this kind of music

2. There is a lack of a good synth guitar sound !

If i could play guitar i would change the 90% of my songs to better !!

i though it was a guitar solo around the 2.50 - 3.00 mark...its a pretty good noise for a keyboard, that one...

Yeah, after a million of plugins and distortion effects !!!

But... is a solo (lead guitar)..

I can do anything when i want rythmic parts or dirty and fat 5ths from a nice and REAL electric guitar!

If you are running SonarXL, the Tassman Dxi synth has one of the sweetest sound guitar patches I have heard form a soft synth. It is very good.

No, i am using Cubase SX. But i think that if it's a DXi it would work in cubase.

Can i buy it separately or it's bundled with SonarXL?

No, Dxi synth's will not patch to Cubase. Their are a couple of good soft synth's for VST out there, I will look into a good one for ya and post back here in a day or two.

wow, that's really good man. real professional sounding. all the levels are just right. the only thing that didn't really fit was the drums. they sound a little too synthetic.. like they were the presets from the keyboard. good job on the vocals too. now i only wish i knew what you were singing :O) -j

Thanx a lot for your comments Jamie!

You are absolutely right about the drums. I am using Battery with sabian samples. I am using programmed drums because i am a keyboard player and i work alone (no band at all). Although, i don't know how to play drums...

Thanx anyway.

I will try to translate the words of the song

However, i can use no rhymes (it is too difficult)


Couplet 1

You came again tonight into my thoughts
Your image is fabulus
An illusion into my empty bottle
that you have filled

You are away but i can see you in front of me
You look real
Into my mind, my soul, my heart
You are everywhere in me

Refrain

And suddenly i remember like it was yesterday
Everything has been finished just in an hour
You left me alone bleeding into the night
And suddenly i remember all this and get angry
But my anger turns into pain
I can't say how much i would want you here now
Because i need you, i love you...

Couplet 2

You enter in my room like a thief
I feel your steps
You are falling into my hands like a wing
You say you love me

I pray dawning not to come
This night must stay
Because the light of the day may kill
This moment that we are together

Refrain.


Sorry about my english!

Thanx a lot, all of you guys!

Very nice Jamie. Now it give's me an excuse to put Cubase back on line here. I like the CheeseMachine, it sound's like a fun one. You are right about the site with the Little Duck and the Oberon. They have some fantastic looking GUI's on them. By the way, nice avatar!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks, yeah i'm a bit of an oldscho' nintendo fan. I even notice Walt finally opted to choose an avatar and went with my new Final Fantasy 6 collection and chose Mog the moogle.

and on a more professional tip, definitely check out the Triangle and Triangle II. Those are *amazing* synthesizers! I don't know why rcgAudio isn't charging a fortune for those things!
