A few days and several remixes after...

[Claudius Rex]

Hi, I posted this here song a while back and only one person replied, but nevertheless his comments were helpful. So, here is a remixed version (5th or so since I've last posted). I've boosted the vocals and done all sorts of neat effects. Have a listen:

Thanks!

Sounds like a great start. Didin't get a chance to hear the other post (mix), but I would suggest bringing the vocals more up front (even more). Also, work on the drum machine programming quite a bit. The basic backbeat is fine, but drastically needs variation. I find that I always spend waaaaaaaayyyyyyy to much time on the drums, and therefore take note when I think that someone is not applying themselves to each and every aspect of a tune. The lead in the intro could be ironed out. Not sure what you are saying, but I like the feel of the vocals and think they work well with the tune. I also think that the guitar tone for the rhythym track sounds well tweaked for the tune. Good job! Just work on those Drums a bit. Thanks for the post.

Not bad at all. I thought it was too light on the bass (I thought it could use some more ass, ya know what I mean?). I agree, the guitar tone sounds good.

cool tune.. I would bring up the lead vocals a bit more and the bass a lot more..... the outro 'wwwoooooeeess' didnt sound that good to me, but I like the lead vocals.. bring up the bass..

good tune!

Thanks for listening!

I didn't write the song, and I wanted to make a "perfect" rendition of the original so I copied the drum patterns as exactly as possible (th original had real drums and was a little off-beat so I think I improved it a tad). I'm not a big fan of th woahs at th end, but again I was trying to make it aas close to the original as possible. Again, thanks for listening!

I would have to agree with the some of the others about the "whoas".Is this a cover tune?Just wondering if those are supposed to be there if it's a cover.The "whoas" are so far out of key with the song that they dont work.The bass needs to come up a lot.It has a good tone to it that needs to be felt and heard.Other than that I thought it was a kickin tune with a good vocal,drum and guitar mix.

Nice job!

P.S.What language is this song sung in?

[TripleM]

Ditto on the vocals. I'd bring them up a bit.

I liked the tone on the rhythm guitar - especially when it kicks in after the intro. It sounded real nice. I liked the lead vocals - both the voice and the rapid fire delivery.

I didn't care for the lead guitar part in the intro - I thought it could have had a bit more to it. As it was, it was a bit simplistic. There was some kind of blip at :48 - couldn't tell what that was.

The "woh's" beginning at 1:51 overpowered things a bit. I'd back them off and maybe EQ out some mids.

[Claudius Rex]

Hehe everyone has the same opinions on the "woahs". They're terribly off-key in the original but I'm so used to singing along to it that it came out just as badly on my version. Yeah, it's a cover by a band called Central do Brasil, from Rio de Janeiro. It's in Portuguese. Thanks again for listening and commenting! I really appreciate it.

If anyone wants to listen to the original, I have it up (the band doesn't care about their songs being made to mp3)

Thanks again!

I knew those whoas were supposed to be in key!!

Portuguese eh?Cool!

Claudius,

Well your version sounds better put together than the original, but your Whoas, are quite a bit out of the range compared to theirs. The originals are off slightly, but yours are gone. Great job otherwise like I said.
