The guitar could come up a little.



Just kidding.

What can I say, man. Great playing, lots of variety and technicolor guitar sounds. I have yet to hear a dissapointing tone out of you yet.

Keep it up, Variaxman.

Thanks!That scratchy whammy pedal part definetly comes across better on the headphones than out loud thru speakers...I think the panning is a bit anoying and am deciding wether to keep it or not....I also may have all the rthym guitars drop out on that part and just have it drum&bass guitar and the scratching...
 
Hey man-- First things first, I absolutely fucking love this tune you've come up with, and I sense it's gonna become part of the regular rotation on my player.

Only issue I have is with the snare and bass, they sound (to me) like they're compressed on a scale I've never heard. The snare and bass actually silence the guitars totally on my system (during the intro) and it's really hard to listen to that bit. I presume they are more compressed in the first few seconds?

But seriously, kudos on the tune, it's absolutely fucking brilliant :)
 
Guitars are sounding cool! You have them cleaned up nice so they are pretty seperated. I like the scratch part too :D

Bass & and kick are pretty bottom heavy. Kick is the thing that jumps out as over compressed to me.

F.S.

Hey F.S.
Yeah I kinda went crazy on the drums on this mix...still working on it...will post what I come up with.Thanks for the feedback...I really appreciate it!
 
wow thats incredible!!!!!! when will you be adding lyrics to this or is it going to be instrumental?
 
Had a listen to the new mix, crazy intense playing man! Just love this tune! I agree with the above, on my system the drums are sticking out in the mix at times. Again, love the effect at 1:46. Outro solo has some nice new melodies too :D
 
What a broad scale production. Very well done. At 1:30 the gtr sounds like the TC is kinda doing a rap, heh. The bass really grabs the ear there.

Gtrs are kind of bright overall IMO. I experimented and hit the mix with +1 dB @ 350 Hz and -2 dB @ 4 kHz, with Q .5 width filters and liked the balance.

Really enjoyed listening.

Hey, I like the new mix-- The drums are just right for me now, just the right about of bass and click on the kick drum and the snare doesn't get lost even though it's down a bit.

This track still sounds fresh to me every time I listen, it's an instant classic ;)

//edit : Note-- The snare does get a little buried at the last passage from 2:50 to the end, but not much.

Yeah P-J...your right about that snare at the end..I boosted the levels of the solo guitars a bit for the ending, and I think It's too much....I will be lowering them!
Thanks man!
