Couldn't sleep....

[RAMI]

So I decided to re-do the vocals and re-mix an older tune that I did in the old studio.

Not one of my best, but not bad enough to scrap. Let me know what you think and how it can be improved.

Give it to me, baby, I can take it.

SAVE YOU NOW

Too much right signal seems prevalent throughout.

Maybe my headset is fucked up?

Save You Now

RAMI,
re the previous comment: I didn't find the same prob.
That bass really does have a good tone doesn't it!
You've really developed as a harmonist, nice work.
Definitely not for the scrap heap this one.
I really like the trem'd guitar lines too.
A good belend of the smooth,
the funky and
the rock.

I thought the verse at 2:05 was a tad low. The rest sounds good. I especially like the vocal arrangments. The ending gets real interesting vocally. Very good tune.....

 

[Greg_L]

I think remember this one. Didn't the drums go all the way through the choruses in the earlier version? Maybe I remember it wrong. Anyway, sounds good to me. Vocals sound awesome. I don't hear anything sound-wise wrong with it. Everything sounds great.

I'm pretty sure it's your monitoring. Unless you're talking about the first 10 seconds of the tune, which has the guitar coming more from the right, but that's just the intro.

Thanx alot, Ray. Yeah, I guess the speed or feel of the song just makes me think it drags a bit.

Thanx alot IdO. I'll re-listen to the verse at 2:05. You mean the vocals are too low, or the whole mix gets low somehow???

Yeah, good memory. I left the first part of the chorus just guitar and vocals. I also changed the intro and the vocals completley. Thanx for the listen and comments, man.

Just the vocals - they seem just a bit fainter there... It doesn't seem to be happening when you repeat that sequence later on....

 

[RAMI]

Oh, I see. 2:05, that's the chorus. I'll check it out. Thanx, man.

Hi, RAMI

I have the old version, and compared both.

Stereo image is yet better now...
Would be nice to hear the right channel guitar with a bit more highs (or mid/highs...) to match better and improve even more the stereo thing.

The big improvement I could listen on vocal tone...altough first version was ok, comparing, now you have a better "mic /room"sound and the "ssssss" are much better than before.I´m sure the better stereo image has a lot to do with the vox "sitting" better now.

About the changes, I honestly prefer the melody of first version, but let me listen some more times the new one...

About the new lyrics, just "listening" I need more 3 or 4 years with my crappy english to know exactly what is happening...

Thanx alot, CIRO. I really didn't like the other melody for my voice. Hopefully, it's just because you're used to the other one.

Don't worry about that. They don't make any sense in English either.

 

[Supercreep]

Love the bridge.

I think the vocal melody in the verse follows the other instruments too closely, in a rhythmic sense. If I had to change a single thing for a fix that would be it - something countermelodic and less "eighth-notey". Minor nit. On a different note, I really like the timbre of your voice when you sing low as you have done here. You put a fair growl in there, dude.

Thanx alot for the words on my voice. It's what I'm the least secure with.


If I don't write a song in the right key and range for my voice, I can't get into a comfort zone. This is one of those tunes. I can show you about 8 different versions of this, vocal-wise. I'm just talking about the verses. The right one hasn't popped into my head yet. It will probably come to me when I'm too far from my equipment to remember it and record it.

So long as you don't fuck with the chorus.......

 

[RAMI]

This song sucks becuase of the verses. The tune's almost there. But the phrasing and/or melody in the verses is the weakest link. Every time I hear it, I hate it more and more. That doesn't happen to me when all parts of a song are strong.

......I think I'll do a few collab drum tracks and get away from this thing for a while.

 

[johnnymegabyte]

after the first guitar into ... when the second guitar starts, there is a noticible click.
like the guitars in the song, the grooving on the bass.

NOW YOU'RE TALKING!!!!!



More than just about any other home recordings, I really like listening to yours at ridiculously high levels...They move air and are really dynamic.

Mix sounds great on this end. Reminds me of things I used to love about King's X. Man, I haven't thought about that band in years, but something about the rhythmic changes and vocal harmonies just brings it back to me.

Take care,
Chris

 

[rayc]

Chris is right about volume and your tunes. I ALWAYS play your CDs loudly. They are rock after all and that means get wrapped in it.

 

[60's guy]

You edited your initial response!

You're right. It was the first 10 seconds that threw me off. I doubled checked my monitoring system and I also did a spectral analysis of your tune.

It was all in balance except for the 10 second opening.

I'm relieved to know that I'm not a complete idiot or totally deaf!

 

[RAMI]

You edited your initial response!

Yes, I was going to actually mention that. I got you mixed up with someone else. I even doubted myself enough after posting to make sure I was accurate in my response. Turns out that was a good thing to do, because it wasn't you that I was thinking of.

By co-incidence, this tune does start out with the guitar heavily on the right side, so I then though that you do what I do often, which is, start typing as soon as the tune starts.

No harm intended, bro.
