Members coldmetalcore Posted August 22, 2005 Members Share Posted August 22, 2005 Hey headswitch, i listened to your song. I appreciate the fact that you used an odd time signature for the song. One criticism i could give that song is the repetitiveness of it. I think it needs to change a lot more throughout. I'm a drummer and i know those drums were sampled but I think they needed to do a little bit more. The guitar playing was all tight, but like i said, i think that rhythem guitar needs to do something different at some points, because it gets very repetitive. The song already has a very defined feel to it, so If i were you, I would try to put some busy guitar work in there and try to give that song some energy. oh and i don't know if this is just a technical error or not, but the song i downloaded doesn't really end, it just kinda stops at 3:27, if that's how the song ends then definetly try to tighten that up. all in all it's a cool song man, definetly stick with it.

I know what you mean about the drums, I have thought about tweaking them but I lost the original track... I think I'll resurrect this project when I have the time and see what I can come up with. oh and i don't know if this is just a technical error or not, but the song i downloaded doesn't really end, it just kinda stops at 3:27, if that's how the song ends then definetly try to tighten that up. all in all it's a cool song man, definetly stick with it. Actually, the song should be 4:46 in lenght... Got to check if it uploaded correctly. Thanks again for the input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Etienne Rambert Posted August 22, 2005 Members Share Posted August 22, 2005 P.O.K.: "it sounds to me like you might want to pull down the lead instrument part - IMO, it's really too loud. It's overpowering everything else IMO. " ---- Thanks. I cannot figure out these new monitors. Alesis M-1s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kurdy Posted August 25, 2005 Members Share Posted August 25, 2005 I posted this in the Recording Forum, but I didn't get much of a response. I'm thinking it was so great that nobody knew what advice to give , or so bad that it was beyond any advice that could help it. I have sort of a beginners set-up, not "state-of-the-art" by any means, but I would like to make the most out of the limited gear I do have. Anyway, here's my original post: I've been involved with home recording/mixing for sometime and although I have improved somewhat, I'm never completely satisfied with the result. My goal is to one day be able to make recordings that sound somewhat professional, though I realize I still have a ways to go, which can be quite frustrating, artistically. Anyway, I could really use some opinions on a recording/mix I just did. Please let me know what you think. http://www.soundclick.com/artist/7/keithdominique_music.htm Also, apologies for posting this in a separate thread. I'm new to this forum, and didn't see the dedicated thread at the top of the page. If I could request that the moderator delete my previous thread, it would be appreciated. It's a bit embarrassing.

Members GuitarPLayer61990 Posted August 28, 2005 Members Share Posted August 28, 2005 www.purevolume.com/vitaeterna song called every lady loves a sure bet.

Advice please, i already know vocals need to be turned up, toms repanned, and cymbals im going to run the sonic maximizer on.

Members GuitarPLayer61990 Posted August 28, 2005 Members Share Posted August 28, 2005 Originally posted by madbutcher anyone? I think It sounds pretty decent, but the snare is pretty boxy, try adding more highs. The bass drum is kinda quiet and no balls to it. The guitars sound like theres too much high gain. Its not terrible, maybe its just the music...Nice job though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should put it center in the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GuitarPLayer61990 Posted August 28, 2005 Members Share Posted August 28, 2005 If you want the low end to be un even in the mix, then go ahead and do that... But you want it in the middle, because the bass guitar provides the low end in the mix, and you want it in the center so its evenly distributed throughout the mix and heard through both speakers.

Members GuitarPLayer61990 Posted August 28, 2005 Members Share Posted August 28, 2005 I'm just going to state my views and I'll be done. Myself, along with probably 99% of the other Engineers mix with the bass in the center. Don't single me out. And also, Im remixing because yes there is a lack of low end. But then again, I'm 15 and mixed the whole thing by myself, and I have no idea what I'm doing... Ill change the link too, yes it is called a Comma. And if you want I can get in a discussion for now I wont. Ask everyone else why its done that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members zinzin Posted August 30, 2005 Members Share Posted August 30, 2005 Please listen - new song - virtual top 10 hit! i am terribly proud of this new song i've written and recorded. it's called "pop child" and it has the sixty-pop-rock-vibe i aimed for. i think if a well known UK would release it as a single, it would be a top 10 hit! i consider the mix finished although i tried not to touch to much and let it almost as i recorded. afterall its a demo and it has not to be perfect, but lemme know what you think about the recording quality and the song itself! every comment welcome! http://s42.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0YDYGELNUUN1Q2YCXAH4XLZVM4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advice please, i already know vocals need to be turned up, toms repanned, and cymbals im going to run the sonic maximizer on. The vocals need some work (which you already noticed). I'm not a big fan of the autopan thing you have going on with the guitar in the beginning, but that is completely subjective. I would defintely cut down the length of the intro. I am not one of these "The intro has to be less than 30 seconds" type of people, but the intro just didn't hold my interest well enough for it to be over a minute. Considering your age, you are doing a great job. Keep it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unforunately, I can't even come up with a single suggestion. Everything in the mix is perfectly clear on my monitors. I look forward to hearing it with the vocals.
