I actually wrote a song....

.hehe...after all the re-mixing I've been doing, I almost forgot how to do something new. So I kept it simple just to get back into the swing of things.

This is called JUST LIKE YESTERDAY

How does it sound? Guitars too loud? Drums not loud enough?

Drums...nice, guitars, nice, bass, nice and punchy, vocals.....I hate you man.... (nice.....)

I really like the simplicity myself. The groove is really cool. The whole lyrical thing is extremely catchy....That's really cool.

Nice tune man.....

Thanx Dogman, As usual, I know I'll re-mix this 100 times. Right now, I've lost perspective. I listen once and can't hear the drums. I listen again, and they're too loud. That's a sign that it's time stop listening for a while.

very dynamic and full. Sounds great so far. I am sure your 10th remix will be much better though.

I hear nothing wrong with this mix at all, Rami.......

Just listened and it sounds like you have it too close to perfect. Don't you hate that when you just can't figure out another way to improve it? This song has a lot of character. Great job Rami!

Sweet tune Rami, kinda reminds of Aerosmith.

Good clean recording, good preformance.

Loved that fade in in the intro nice guitar sound.

I dont have any critisisme at the moment.

Just full of Praise

Sounds really good to me. Really nice mixing of the backings like around 0:50. Great. I would have made the solo bit louder/fuller though. Some cool bass lines too.
Just wondering; how long have you been playing drums? How long bass/guitar?

Thanx alot Clause. Yeah, that solo is a bit thin. To answer your question, i've been playing drums for about 25 years.It's hard to say how long I've been playing bass and guitar for. I never really "started playing", just always fooled around on someone else's guitar (upside down since I'm left-handed) and eventually was able to do it well enough for people to say I'm a good guitar player "for a drummer". I don't play upside-down any more, I have a Strat with the strings and nut switched around.

That's so cool that you played upside down for a while.. I've tried it once.. switching to left handed, but there was no way..

Astounding drummer by the way. This is a really good song

Thanx alot for the compliment.

Yeah, I actually got used to playing upside down when I didn't own a guitar and always picked up righties. I can still play all my chords and a few songs up side down just to freak people out a bit. I know one guy that actually played like that in a semi-successful local band, it was pretty cool.

How does it sound? Guitars too loud? Drums not loud enough?

Hey RAMI,

I love the guitar tone and the vocal harmonising in the intro, great work.
I really like how the guitar tone that you have captured is encompassing the whole of the sonic soundscape of the tune. It drives the tune!!

I also like the bass tone you have in this tune which is a very staple diet of all your tunes, however it fits this tune beautifully.

The chiming of those rhythm guitars is very well captured, I am liking the guitar droning you have here! ..as you can probably tell!!

I would like to hear more high-mids in the snare or some rim shots just to really get the drum tracks cracking!!..I think the kick is sitting well in the mix, I would like to hear a boost by maybe just 1db to lift it up away from the bass guitar...(This suggestion is merely me delving deep).
The guitar solo could be phatter, but it is nice playing!
Nice work RAMI.. ..This tune makes your guitar tracks on some of your other tracks sound a little heavy in the low-mids, which is not a bad thing, it's just that the guitar tone on this track is nothing short of bloody great in my opinion.


Enough from me!!!

Gorty

alright, attached is an embarrassing shot of Rami mooning all of us. The worst part of this is that he thought it was funny at the time. Well now who's laughing?

Anyway, mix sounds amazing man. Song is catchy and good. I dig. Bass tone is excellent here too. Nice electric rhythms. Lead tone could be thicker and "soar" more, if that makes sense. Ending was very abrupt, sounds like player just stopped.
Great song man

Guess what, "for a drummer" you're an even better bass guitar player, IMO. Honestly, I'd really have to practice hard to get your funky lines flowing the way they always are in your recordings.
Nice tune, again.

It probably did SnakeDude, it kept happening with me and I had to go back to the web page and re-load and move the slider along!
