I like the concept of the song. And it's fun. Go BoSox!

I think its a little fast. Just a couple of bpm less, and the humor might have more impact; be more understandable.

Nice work. Thanks!

Haha, pretty corny but fun. I hate the Red Sux and the Spankees, so they can both go to hell. :D

Mix sounds pretty good. It sounds like you're straining vocally or not belting it out hard enough. You've already got everything tracked so a drop in key may be out of the question, but I think it would help. Musically it's pretty tight and well played. Fun little song. Women can be such a pain in the ass. ;)
 
I agree that perhaps you could bring it down in key. But everything else sounds nice (although I personally like the drums a bit more up in the mix).
 
Thanks for the listen. I'm real concerned about the electric guitar sound. Just can't get those kinds of parts sounding like I hear on other records. I think I gotta get a good amp. Maybe when My divorce is final and I get some of my money...

I can drop it a whole-step...just four tracks. And reduce the tempo with the magic of midi.

I thought if I sang it real high and strained, it'd have more emotion. It's a whole-step up and out of my toppest comfort zone...my daughter is always accusing me of not getting enough ooomph in the vocal. It sounds ...and is...strained. I just wasn't sure if anybody else would hear it that way. Got the answer.

I haven't watched baseball since Yaz played for the Sox. The tune's autobiographical, but it was while I was practicing or recording that the pile-on always happened. I figured more guys would relate to ball games. We can all relate to the pile-on, I think.

Think I'll load it up and make the changes. TX

Yeah, Rokket...Listening a low levels now, the kit gets lost. I mixed and mastered real loud...shoulda checked it lower. Learning curve.

I've been able to capture some really good tones from a 10-watt practice amp and make them sound really huge. It's not so much the amp as how you mic it and which mics you use. A little more time spent before tracking and messing with mic placement will reveal a whole slew of things you hadn't heard before. Devote a few days to messing with mic placement and not concentrating on the song. You'll be glad you did.



Learning curve.
That's why we all come here, isn't it? :D

What makes you believe you'll have any money after the divorce is final?

:D

Nice work. Everyone else above took all the stuff I'd have offered.

SC is updated.

I brought the kit, bass gt ,and guits up, spread the guits a little, used another verb, changed out a couple strainier vocal parts, borrowing from better parts, and tried selective compression and EQ to smooth the whole out. Vox sounds better buried in the mix more, I think. I got rid of some irritants?

The instrumental..the one that counts....might sound too sluggish at a slower tempo? I tried moving the kit fromm 144 to 138...something happens to the feel and sound of the kit...needs to be entirely re-done.

Gonna give it a few days and get back to it.
