Hey guys thanks for the listen. I am currently mixing it again and trying to take in all that you have suggested. I think i have nailed it...the only thing i am unsure of is the kick. Is it solid and present enough or does it need a little more click.
Hakim...thanks, what i meant does it sound as though it could be in rotation in a radio station along side bands like Creed, Linkin Park, Seether, Nickleback and the likes
I guess my question was is the quality good enough? I switched to Soundclick
Chili... thanks i think i addressed the loud intro, and i think if you listen on something other than headphones the delays and verbs aren't nearly as distracting.
JordanD...again i addressed the intro vox, as far as the rythym comments i don't know what you are saying??? Thanks for the listen anywho.
1,2,1234... I know what you are saying with the lyrical content. Thats none of my business though. I just set his disturbing thoughts to music. I agree that there could be a little more lyrical creativity for sure. I was thinking of a solo break too, just a couple of licks, nothing like 80's shred marathon stuff.
Christopher...sorry it works for everyone else????
Ido1957...I addressed the clickiness of the kick in this new mix, which i think will reduce the apparent volume of it. Thanks for the listen, and the thoughts. I appreciate it.
K-dub...As always i appreciate your thoughts. I know i can get a little compressor/limiter crazy in an effort to try and achieve modern rock levels. I have pulled back a bit, fixed the drums, and tried a little phaser/flange and chorusing on the intro guitars, and also put a little delay on the intro vox. I also boosted the bass guitar as well.
Bulls Hit...Thanks for the listen. I think i fixed the snare...it definately is more prominent now, and i lost a little of the click in the kick. I am still searching for the chirp you spoke of, perhaps it is some kind of artifact that was added in the transferring process...because i can't hear it in the original. We'll see.
Here be thy link!!
