Here I go again, I've redone the vocals and the middle guitar solo and hopefully have the drum level dropped to make a better mix. Vocals were recorded through a Naiant tube mic-MSH-4 and the solo was recorded through a Delta Blues amp into a EV DS-35 that sounded pretty good for the old mic that it is.

Brought down the snare level and bumped up the kick and added a little reverb to the drums-my ears are kind of toasted from the tracking-please let me know what I'm not hearing today!;)

Nice mix, the drums are tamed now and everything seems to be gelling. I could use more lead vocals. Rather, I could use them articulated more, and I am not sure how to do that. Maybe less reverb? I cant hear every word, but I can hear most.

Thanks again for the comments and advice David. I think the vocal problem is poor pronounciation by the vocalist:o-I may give the singing another try tomorrow.
It seems to me that after I uploaded the song to Soundclick, that the drums especially have much more delay than I was hearing on the mix I heard on my computer. Has anyone else noticed this on a Soundclick upload mix??
 
I like the guitar/keyboard sound on this, to me the snare seems a bit dominant and the reverb on it makes it sit in a different place as opposed to the rest of the instrumentation, lead vocal might be able to come up a bit...cool lyrics......like the guitar solo. Song has a diffrent kinda vibe to it...I like it!

Thanks for listening, the guitars are a Tele and a Firebird copy and organ sound is a church organ patch on a Roland XP-60. Solo is a Epiphone Les Paul Standard-totally stock-so far. There is a lot of experimentation in the formation of the song and I'm sure there is more to come.;)
 
Tony.....I don't know who the song is to/about....but good luck staying outta hell with them....:eek:

I like the lead at 2:47...sounds like your melody thought is taking on a change of direction..

The lyrics seem to be a bit crammed in there..perhaps some different timing of them or removing some of the words that are not necessarily pertinant to the vocal expression of the song...just a suggestion. I myself have problems with doing that..so take it for what it's worth..;)

Got a good one going on here Tony!!!

I don't feel really good today, so sorry if I seem a bit blah or not more specific in my response..I don't mean to be Tony.:)

hmmmmmmmmmm...Ok:eek:

Or maybe it jumped the track and found a better destination...;)

The lyrics are still needing a bit of editing, they are-like the rest of the song-in a formative stage

Thanx-I needed a vote of confidence. Lots of new gear (guitar & amp) and programs (EZDrummer) are involved in the recording, trying to do the best with my limited grasp of some of it..!
