for me it's the long notes on the vocals that sound wrong, instead of sustaining the note, why not make it shorter but then use something like a ping pong delay to make it feel longer? especially when you sing 'again'

also did you use soundtoys microshift on the vocals? I like the chorus effect but think it could be more subtle

Hi.
You got me thinking; iv never really mastered/done the ecco/ping pong on sertain words in a song. Mabye its time to read me up on that........
No microshift on the voice.

Create FX track with delay. Automate the Send power button from the vocal track or group on the words you want the delay. :)

Do you have an effect on the voice or is that just you double tracked?

Here is what I came up with. Only a different kick pattern, the rest is the same. Well, different kit.

I like what you have. If you do decide to change something and need drums adapted just let me know. I will export the individual drum files tonight.

Hi.

I like what u have done with my earlier song, so i would like for you to mix this one to. Im aware of the charges. Can we arrange something with paypal...?
I have some wishes:
- I think the sologuitar should come down a bit, and mabye panned some...?
- If u "hear" some meldoyne magic(as the last song u did), feel free to so.
- can we agree on some "limit" about the hours...?

Let's just have fun with your tune for now man. :)
 
Ok, here is a little ditty I call fun time with einar. :)

I just did some stuff I felt right to make it move for the song as it is. Your opinion is the important one tho...

Oh, and by the way, screw the 'hook' thing. The song is good as it is IMO. :)

The whole song is a hook.

Hi.

As always Im impressed with what your are able to do with my songs. Its soooo much nicer(can I use this word?) now :-)

Theres only one thing; and thats the last word "again"....is it becouse my "out of tune" singing or is the melodyne doing something...?

Other than that is sound perfect to me.....to you to...?

Ps: man, i wish i had your skills to mix.
 
Thanks man! 'Nicer' works. :)

I didn't actually pitch correct your original track. There was a bit of wavering on the last note, and the harmony followed. Here, see if this is better.

Hi.
Thanks. Much better.

I hate to ask, but on my 2.1 system here at the office, it kind of "woffer" a bit in the bottom......just a little bit here and there.......

anyway, thanks

It is a little bottom heavy when I listened as well. Just as stated, just a tad.
 
Was it certain note of the bass guitar that you both heard?

It is a fine balance down there. I initially notched some frequencies that were resonating, but noticed it was taking away from the fullness.

Upon listening again, I do hear some frequencies 'breathing' a bit much. Notched the bass guitar a bit at 80.8Hz, and 94Hz that seemed to be the culprits. Also, pulled up the HP filter to 45HZ from 35. That may have something to do with it as well. I just love the way the low end of the bass reacted during the breakdown. Maybe I was just enjoying my stomach getting the feel. lol

Did anyone notice the door slam sample on the intro of the breakdown? Ha ha! :)

Anyway, I am not hearing an abundance of low end issues overall. It seems the resonant frequencies of the bass guitar track are of issue at certain notes. If this doesn't do it, then it may be time to pull out the 'multi-band' comp.
