Good thoughts. Thanks for the comment!Mix wise this sounds inferior to some of your other songs I've listened to. It's not that mix is bad just Everything sounds DI ish small and dry if that makes sense and in general lacks cohesion/glue. Vocal pitch in multiple spots could take a look. Production/tech nerd stuff aside I like the song
Actually, bud, the lead vocal was recorded live at the guitarist's home during the recording. Interesting you found that the tube effect disappeared. The effect is slight phase and delay.I like the song. I like the guitar parts and how they play off of each other. Nice harmonies.
The guitar on the right sounds especially nice.
There are some effects on the vocal so I can't be sure - but it sounds like that paper-towel-tube vocal problem is gone.
It took me a while, but I decided I didn't care for the bass tone. It might OK if it were a little lower in the mix and had the attack tamed. Maybe put on a compressor with 0 attack and turn that down a couple of dbs.
The guitar on the left has a bit too much gain for me - but that's a real personal preference thing.
Lead guitar tone sounds awesome. Drums (I assume are fake) sound awesome too.
So do you think the paper-towel effect might be caused by the location in which you were recording? Or maybe the mic?Actually, bud, the lead vocal was recorded live at the guitarist's home during the recording. Interesting you found that the tube effect disappeared.

This vocal was recorded live with me sitting in a closet full of clothes on headphones - using the guitarist's mics. So yes, everything was recorded differently.So do you think the paper-towel effect might be caused by the location in which you were recording? Or maybe the mic?
And yeah things are good here. Hope you're well too.
That's two on the bass sound. I will add some "amp" sounds on a duped track and see if it improves it. I admit that it does sound direct as is. The complaint was totally valid.I like the sound of the bass, but I don't. Nice a full, sounds good, but there is something not working.
I don't look for a "live" sound. I like produced music and this sounds pretty good. I think the vocals are good enough and important enough to push up or isolate better so they stand out. I think getting that bass sorted (couldn't tell you how), and give the vocals some space, I think you have a great produced tune.
