Great tune. Love the chord progressions. Deserves better than programmed MIDI.
Most of the sounds are ok, but the overall impression is a bit sterile.
Interesting about the artificial singer. My first impression of the vocals was something was off, but I couldn't put my finger on it. Then I...
sounds pretty good to me, although I am not very familiar with that style
around 1:40 sounds a bit like an overzealous deesser for a few bars.
overall more bottom end would be good.
i almost fell into that trap. I guess the drumkit sounds a bit artificial, that gives it that robotic feel. Plus there is not much dynamics in the drums.
Nice track apart from that.
Thanks TripleM,
This is good feedback. Very helpful. I'll take note and will check the bits you mentioned. There could easily be a few digital pops here and there. Easy to fix, but also easy to miss in the mix.
Here is the link for you Eric. Should be downloadable mp3
Have fun with it. There's no rush. Not like the whole thing is going anywhere in a hurry.
If you need a chord chart, i could come up with one, but it might be more confusing then helpful, but let me know if you need it.
I can offer...
you are more than welcome to try your hand. I havent written out the guitar part as a score. There is a fair bit of improv in there. Basically I am not too concerned with what exactly you play. I really only added the guitar as an afterthought since the sax was a bit weak in spots.
You will have...
sounds all great to me. I think acoustic intro would work well and add to the dynamics.
good performance, well crafted song. especially liked the dynamic flow and the polyrythmic bits.
Good drummer you got there to get through those bits. I'd say this is a challenging piece for a drummer.
Yeah the guitar is a bit obvious, I'm not too happy with the sound, but i could not get a guitarist dedicated enough to do the track to my satisfaction.
What are currently the best guitar virtual instruments? any recommendations?I had no need for virtual guitars in the last few years since I...
thanks for the feedback. Actually totally missed the pop. As you said easily fixed.
Thanks also for the comparison to Steely Dan. Always flattering.
It is bottom heavy i agree, but as long as it is not muddy.... Mostly a matter of taste i guess. I'll have another listen with that in mind in a...
Hi there,
this is a song i've been working on for a while.
I have taken it as far as I can and it is pretty much finished, but i need some fresh ears.
Hope the soundcloud link works
thanks for your time
cheers

love the acoustic guit sound. Agree with TripleM that it could use a bit more balls in the playing.
The electric lacks a bit of direction. Play it like you feel it. Maybe less notes. Sometimes plays a bit too much over the vocals.
nice vocals.
toms are a bit wide, the rest of the mix seems a bit...
not my genre, so take this with a grain of salt.
Great mix. Quite listenable but to me the kick drum sounds a bit weak. Maybe pick one with a bit more bottom end?
seems like i introduced myself in the wrong spot.
talking about a false start.
well here i go again. This time in the right place i hope:

MIDI contains only controller information. Putting any audio signal processing in the midi chain is pointless with a few exceptions such as transpose.
You dont have to record it as audio, but you need an audio signal. A virtual instrument (such as a vst plugin) can do that for you.
A good way...
