Members dctalkdotnet Posted June 19, 2002 Members Share Posted June 19, 2002 hey guys... i got no response in the recording forum, so I'd like some artistic feedback maybe from in here... Anyway, i have loads of guitar and piano parts that i'm throwing into one huge anthem-like instrumental song. I'm still working on it, but I have a rough sketch... I wanted comments on:-mix/recording - How is the mix? suggestions? pleasE?-performance (please note: the lead guitar is just me screwing around, I will re-record it, but I do like the tone...)-creativity (how is the song? what/who does it sound like? were the intro guitar parts written well?) here it is: 3:33 - 3MB http://dctalk.net/musical.mp3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ignorant_Ass Posted June 20, 2002 Members Share Posted June 20, 2002 I really like the first minute and half of accoustic guitar-very well written. When everything breaks in - I would mix up the volume of the drums a little bit, and mix down the volume of the guitar striking the single chord. Good workBen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AlKindi Posted June 20, 2002 Members Share Posted June 20, 2002 I agree about the "durms"? I am not sure if its the drums alone or perhaps a little more controlled (compressed) bass that would make it thicker.The guitar lead could use more melody and some harmonizing wouldn't hurt. The acoustic guitars sound pretty good to me. Just curios , what did you use to record it? However , all in all I really love the style of the music. Keep up the good work.

Just curios , what did you use to record it? I used ACID by Sonic Foundry... actually, the version you heard was me running a Shure SM-57 into my Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum sound card. I was micing a $400 acoustic! I think I got pretty good sound for such a poor setup. I have recently re-recorded all the acoustic parts with a Talyor guitar, and it sounds a lot better.

Members The Special Posted June 24, 2002 Members Share Posted June 24, 2002 I don't listen to much instrumental music but I have to say that I liked this one. The acoustic guitar sounds very good and I like the piano parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
