Nice song Ido. There's 3 little things that stick out to me as off a little:

The main vox is a little too up front. Performance and productions sounds great, I just think the vox can sit back in the mix just a tad.

The bass line is good and carries the song. I think it could use a little more definition though. Maybe just do a low-mid cut so it doesn't get all twangy.

The drums can come up quite a bit and still not overpower the song.

The airy guitars sound nice and the arrangement is good. Nice job overall. :)
 
groovey bass work. but yeah - the tone of it could be tweaked a bit - especially since (by the looks of the picture) its a Ric.
 
I really like the vocal and harmonies. Lyrics are great. nice performance.

I will agree the drums can come up and sit better.

The song ends with just one guitar chord stinger, it sounds a little weak. Maybe a small lead guit part after the words have ended to fill in and then guit, bass, drums on the ending stinger.

Cheers,
 
Nice tune man...agree about the vocals. They don't sit how I'd like to hear in this song. They might need some compression, then be mixed in different....they just seem more dynamic than the rest of the tune needs. (just a bit...don't go overboard and bury them...)
Drums are hard to hear....they could easily be breought up a bit and not interfere with the bass.
 
I'm itching to hear this but it won't stream or download.
I'll be back.....
 
Nice song Ido,
You need to do some tweaks with your volume faders.
I miss drums. I would like to hear them work together with the bass. They seam to be some separate secondary rhythm section. Turn them up!
Backing vox too. I don’t know what to say about the guitar. It’s nice.
It could be used a two different clean patch just to make it a little vary, make stronger line in between different parts of song. Just an idea.
Excellent job!
 
BLOODY HELL!
Ido - obviously this is an early mix & folk have make some good suggestions about it BUT the song is GREAT!
I couldn't decide what to listen to - the melody, the chord changes, the terrific bass line or the story. I don't mean that there's too much happening - rather that what's happening in the song writing/arranging department is of the 1st water.
This is your OTHer signature guitar sound. I wish I had one - you have 2!
 
Nice song, man. I like the way you're using the double tracked vocal for punch on certain words. Sounds like a vocal track you'd hear on the radio in the 70's. I'd like to hear a more prominent harmony vocal. The only real nit I have is that the bass guitar sounds a little muddy with some low mid stuff going on.

Nice work.

Agreed - three good points.... This was mixed a while ago before I started bringing the drums up in the mixes - i.e. buried. I'll look into these things when I remix...

Yes - drums will come up next mix. The ending bass note(s) were out of time so I cut it leaving just guitars :eek: If I was mixing ITB I might try to cut and paste something. I might be able to bring in the last bass note which is right but a little late, I'll check it out. I will see if I have any tracks left to add a lead part to this (8 Track Tape). I recorded this a while ago so I'll need to check. Good idea though - this was done before Gorty told me to start adding leads in the background....:D

The story is about a couple, with a timeline that spans several years. I'd appreciate any feedback/comments you can give me regarding the mix, arrangement etc.

Hey Gerry,

I have said this before but I have to say it again: Your vocal delivery, harmonies and story telling are great! The vocal harmonising in the chorus is sweet! Is that just you or Mike as well??
I know you recorded and mixed this a while ago, as a suggestion a wider panning of the whole mix in particular the guitars would be interesting to hear.
Overall the mix in regards to some slight eq work and volume adjustments would breathe a little more brightness into this tune in respect to the overall tone.
Great song writing in true ido1957 style. A sweet melodic guitar solo Gerry style would just finish the instrumentation on this one.
I look forward to hearing the tweaks!! :)

Thanx for sharing ido1957! Nice work. :)
 
As usual, its a good song and a good vocal performance.

I can only echo the other comments about the drums, and the definition of the bass. Its a bit muddy on my monitors.

Your more recent stuff has a different feel in the drums i.e. more fills.:D

The song is VERY catchy. Well done.:D

Good idea... One thing Tim L pointed out that I've always kept in mind was the two rhythm guitars need to be very close otherwise panning them makes them clash and distract. I won't really know until I go back and check it out. But I will try to pan as much as possible.

I always try to leave some room for solos where I can on my newer stuff - thanks to your (good) suggestion from my older stuff ;). I might not have any tracks left on this one but I always keep that in mind. :)

Agreed - and I will address the drums and bass eq when remixing. This is an older midi drum track when my fills were almost non-existent. I still don't add enough of them really :rolleyes:

A re-mix is probably in order........But it's all there

Yep - I will remix this one with some good suggestions from everyone.
