Heres the link to my second song. I ran out of time, have to go away to work, this song still needs work.
The vocals need a lot of work, especially in the chorus. A lot of time was taken up (3days!), trying to get the tone right on the guitar, and its still not quite right.
Any comments most appreciated.
Cheers

Jan 21, 2005 10:20 pm OK - I dont know if it's my speakers but the mix sounds a bit muddy! I cant really understand what your singing.
The timing seems a little loose also! There's a part where you repeat, what i think is, "Dream about you everyday" which sounds somehow crowded.
Other than that i like the song! It's got a solid rock feel about it!
Jan 21, 2005 10:46 pm Agree with Bleak on all three counts. The timing seems just slightly off on the opening riff, and on the other section that Bleak mentioned. And the recording seems sorta...um...distant, I guess. It's almost like the whole stereo field is sitting slightly back from center, as odd as that sounds.
But it's got a nice vibe to it. I had this strange image of proto-metal crossed with the Kinks for some reason. Good job.
Jan 21, 2005 10:58 pm I know what you mean with all three points, I think the guitar has Way to much low end to it, which causes the muddiness, and it sounds especially bad on Mp3. I ran out of time and had been promising the song for three days or so, so when i get home im going to do everything again.
With the "Dream about you every day part" sounding crowded, do you guys think there might be a bit to much revrb?
I used double Natural verb from wave lab 4.0 on all of the vocals to try and give it a BIG sound.
Thanks for the comments
Jan 22, 2005 01:15 am Can't add much to what the others have commented on. The song definitley has potential, just need to work on that mix and the timing issues. Good rockin' song though. I wouldn't use quite so much reverb on the snare either, it's washing it out too much.

Jan 22, 2005 08:45 pm Thanks old dog, I get right on to that.
Jan 22, 2005 09:00 pm Im not really happy though about how it varies so much from speaker to speaker. You know, i might just invest in a copy of har-bal.....
Jan 23, 2005 02:07 pm Hey dude
I double what's been said before
I think it's a great song, just needs to be polished a bit
just one thing IMO the snare is panned to much to the left... don't know what others have to say about that... but I like my snare just a little tad from center ( like 10-15 % ) but that's prolly just a matter of taste
Keep those songs Coming dude!
If you ever wanna collaborate with me,
I'm in!, I Sing and Play some Keys ( Not as Good as I want it to be, but I'm improving )
Jan 24, 2005 12:42 am Hey, thanks presley. I'd love to do a collab sometime. Name the song and im there.
As for the snare I was trying to create a virtual image of the drum kit.
One thing, what does IMO mean? been trying to figure that out for yonks.
Jan 25, 2005 03:00 am Riiight, now everything comes together, like pieces of chocoalte in a frying pan.
