Hey Fritz.
Here's a little gif to show how easy it is to apply a highpass filter! :)

Forgot to say, love the song, & it's really nice to see you posting stuff again!:thumbs up:

OK, so the EQ thing looks pretty simple now that I'm dazzled by your animated gif. :thumbs up: Cheers man, for the listen and the help. :)

Was the lead and gang vox from the same girl - It sounds like it. If you could have tracked at least one more female vox, it would have sounded less home-studioish.

I never would have guessed that was the reason I sounded home-studioish. I thought there was more obvious stuff giving me away. Maybe it would sound awesome-er with two different voices, never really thought about it. Cheers for having a listen Crazy Luke.
 
Love the sentiment of the song. Facebookers are so corny. My own mom, God bless her, will call me up to tell me to get on facebook so she can talk to me more. I'm like mom, you just called. You can call me any time.

Anyway, nice little song. I think the vocals are a little too thick with effect. I'd like them cleaned up, a little drier. The backing stuff sounds nice. I think it has room for a little more bass guitar.
 
Same voice harmonies don't suggest HR to me in any way, shape or form. Some of the best vocals I've heard have been the one voice multi tracked.
Def needs more bass lass. The stuff you've done sounds good, more of the same is OK - go on, give it a burl, you can always remove it if it doesn't work.

Thanks for checking it out Greg. I'm on FB, but I find it a weird social phenomenon. I mostly stick around to observe how people behave and laugh at them of course. I think I agree with you on the vocals, I was playing around with then a bit this morning. I need to not listen to it for a few days and go back to this in the weekend, see if I can clean it up some. By that time I might feel like doing a bit more bass too.

Aye, I'll definitely see if I can figure something out for a bit more bass. Peer pressure works so well on me...Do more bass! Do more bass! Do more bass! OK then. :D
 
I love this one. I love the valley-girl-style "like-its"!
I thought the arrangement was good, but I think Chili had a lot of good ideas that might make it even better.
I think you should come up with some more material to replace the "plate of food" part after the first one (I mean I loved it the first time but thought it was used too much). People do so many stupid things on Facebook it should be possible to come up with more verses. The other one I wasn't crazy about was "Here's a point of view". I'd try to replace that with something better, too.
I bet if you paired this with a video of stupid/funny FB posts, and shared it on FB, it could really take off.
 
I like the song. I like the idea about commenting on the worthlessness of so many FB posts, and focusing on the "like it" crap that goes with them.

I would focus on the lead vocal. It's a bit difficult to make out. It sounds doubled. I would pull down the doubled track a few dbs. What ever reverb or delay you have on it I would just remove for now. Make sure that lead vocal is clear and easily heard. The lyrics are the focus of the song, so I think you want to make sure they're easy to hear.
 
Sounds pretty good. It may be a little muddy/woofy, but then again my headphones are crappy.

I really like the inflection you have on your voice in this one. Sounds a lot more playful and enthusiastic than some of your earlier songs.
 
I've had this song stuck in my head all day today. All it took was for one FB friend to post food pics from his vacation and all I could think was "here's a plate of food..." :D
 
Hey, good to hear something new from you frits. Remix sounds well balanced, all the vocals are at a good level and that little harmonica part really lifts the parts where it comes in. The main vocal sounds really sweet and the response vocal sounds really sarcastic, which contrasts well.

I remember seeing you posting that you'd finally bought a bass somewhere else on the forum - is this the first song you've used it on? I think it still gets lost in the main body of the song, but it's no biggie. Well done :)
 
winner winner winner! Yep second mix very cool...
DM60's idea of more voices joining in on like it, link it chorus to where it becomes a mass chorale idea is cool...but I'd only do it on the last chorus.. kinds of like the ending on white punks on dope...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFltXDMQsQQ

Thanks Jessica. I might have another look at the mix over the weekend. I have so many vocal tracks going on that I decided to re-track everything and I'll start mixing them from scratch. Thanks for the ideas on the lyrics. I did kind of want the plate of food line to get a bit annoying, in fact that's what I was aiming for with all the lyrics...to be annoying and repetitive. :D Since this boredom is the feeling I get when I log into Facebook. But I'm not married to the idea, it was kind of lazy I have to admit, and I have since had some little ideas for small changes, so might see what happens. Thanks again. :)

Ah cool, thanks Steve. I think you're hearing it right. I hate to admit this so late in the game, because such a beginner's mistake. But I might have had the bass knob turned down on my amp while I was mixing this. I must have knocked it by accident or something. :o This might explain some of the comments...or at least I hope so, it did sound completely different when I put it back to its usual position.

My work mate seriously asked me why I hadn't liked a photo he'd posted on FB and then 2 seconds later he asked, how did that song you did about FB go again? :facepalm: :laughings: What a womble.

Cool, thanks Rob. This is the second song I've played bass in, but it's not the whole way through. It's taking me a while to get into it, I find it pretty difficult to play. I think my sense of rhythm is pretty bad actually. That's my main problem, I can't keep in time.
 
I haven't seen Womble used as a derisive term in years. Thanks for bringing it back - Wimbledon Common lives on in many a person I know.
