Another short piece, only a little over a minute. This one is a little nuts though. It basically comes from a passage I wrote years ago, that I sometimes used as an exercise when practicing. A few months ago, I figured what the hell, and recorded it. It sounds pretty clean, but I have a few concerns I've been dealing with.
It's a basic layout- drums and bass, two rhythm guitar tracks panned hard right and left, a few underlying keyboard tracks very low in the mix, and the lead guitar. No harmonies, just a straight lead.
I'm having trouble setting the fader level on the bass guitar track, seems it either disappears if I turn it down, or gets to rumbly when I turn it up. Isolated it sounds fine. Goes with the genre, I suppose.
My other main concern is the lead guitar track seems to be very mid-range strong. I've already cut it a little bit, but any more and it seems to lose it's power. Suggestions?
I hate my drum machine, specifically the crashes, but it is what it is, for now.
I don't usually do recordings like this, most of my rock recordings are more like the last tune I put up here, "Roadstar". I'm usually all over the board with everything from rock, metal, blues, jazz, punk, dance, etc. So hopefully you guys won't get the wrong impression of me, but I really need some help on this. I'd like to finish it and move on. I currently have around 40 different mixes/songs I'm working on, that I recorded over the last two years. So I have a lot of work to do.
Thanks!
