Oct 30, 2003 05:46 pm Sounds killer collapse!
Oct 30, 2003 06:08 pm collapse,
I like it, but it seems that the vocals really overpower everything else at times. I'd try and bring up the level of all the non vocal, non drum tracks. The effects on your voice fit the song well.
Oct 30, 2003 07:52 pm Sounds excellent here. I had to turn the volume up on it compared to the original, but other than that I wouldn't change anything, not that it needs changing.

Oct 30, 2003 07:56 pm That's sounding great collapse.
I would turn up the basslines a bit - they're a bit too low in the mix especially in the first half. And yes, the vocals are possibly a little bit too high.
But the mastering sounds great, really loud and crunchy - good work.
jues.
Oct 30, 2003 08:13 pm coolo and jues, could you be specific on which areas of the vox are possibly too high? keep in mind ive been working on this 4 or 5 hours a day for like 3 weeks.. so its a little hard for me to judge at this point =)
and coolo, ill pull things down instead of boosting.. so i can preserve my headroom. key to mastering/mixing.. pull down where you can.
jamie, acidplanet of all places. someone who works on the litany.net site found my stuff.. dug it and approached me with it.
thanks to all for the feedback. you dont know how invaluable it is.
Oct 30, 2003 08:18 pm in all parts, the vox need to be dropped by about 2-4dB.
It's not unusal to do this if you have been working on a mix all day.
Oct 30, 2003 08:56 pm heres an edited version with the vox tweaked a little bit. i dropped the vox roughly 2db. any more and they were losing their edge in the mix.
link killed.
Oct 31, 2003 01:25 am Collapse, I don't know if this is too late but...
I was thinking specifically when you go to the parts that have heavy effects like when you say silent noise, silent...
I thought the rest of the vox were ok, and maybe a bit low in the new mix (but still ok). I think the levels of the vox with heavy effects sound good in the new mix.
Oct 31, 2003 04:07 am tweaked all the vox a bit. and finally finished it. many thanks again to everyone who had a chance to help me out.

Oct 31, 2003 07:14 am sorry I didn't have a chance to join in last night. Good Luck to you, I always love your stuff and still anxiously awaiting a CD release from you. I expect an autographed copy. :-D
Oct 31, 2003 07:38 am FLAWLESS. Vox struck me as a tad loud - I'm hearing it on a pc speaker at work though, keep that in mind. Nice f'ing job, man. That song really draws you in.
BTW, I heard the original version - the edited copy gave me a 404 error.
Oct 31, 2003 10:51 am whoops my mistake. i took down the edited one last night as well after completion.
the link remaining in the first post should be the final now. =)
Oct 31, 2003 12:20 pm The vox part probably seems loud to me because the tinny little speaker here doesn't reproduce bass at all... Hard to get an accurate picture of the sound while listening to it low enough that I don't disturb my coworkers. :)
Oct 31, 2003 01:15 pm youre a brave man sir. i wouldnt dare try that at work hehe.
Oct 31, 2003 01:45 pm the day i can listen to Skinny Puppy or anything that sounds anything like them at work without upsetting anyone will be a happy day.
self emplyment is my only option
Oct 31, 2003 02:10 pm Hey man... if they get to wear out Ricky Martin, Jimmy Buffett, and Britny Speers here, then I'll be spinning whatever I please. :) I just have to respect personal space and keep it down so I'm the only one who can hear it. Damn, but these people have bland taste in music (though Buffett's catchy). They should be tied up and forced to listen to the good stuff. hahahaha
Oct 31, 2003 02:31 pm yeah buffet's cool.. but you gotta draw the line somewhere hehe
Nov 10, 2003 01:27 pm you know.. it just dawned on me that i never posted the link to the completed track. some changes were made as well as new sounds added to it.
www.acidplanet.com/artist.asp?PID=319484&T=934
so there it is. now perhaps ill have time to complete a couple more of my originals. thanks again for the feedback and help.
Nov 10, 2003 02:24 pm collapse- how did you get that vocal sound? I've been trying to get that sound for a while now.
Nov 11, 2003 01:11 am same vocal setup that i always use. i like to blame it on a combination of my preamp/mic and the zoom studio 1204 that i have.. something about that rack unit just gives things this dirty overdriven sound [depending on the patch].
aside from that.. layering.. towards the end, there are roughly 7 different tracks of vocals alone, all recorded a little differently.
Nov 11, 2003 09:58 pm Posted a review at Acid-Planet for ya dude. I love it. Like I have said before, you just keep getting better and better. And I must say this, I am a a big SP fan and you truly did the track justice.
