I just mixed most of this song today and I was wondering if I could get a little feedback on it. What's good? What needs changing?

We're just three 15 year olds, so don't expect perfection. Although we would like it to sound as good as possible.

The song is called "Start"

Thanks A Lot,

Hey man,

thats pretty nice!

You're gonna have a good voice when your a bit older! - you have good pitch control.

I think the guitars are a little soft. The distortion guitars.

Cos i think the effect you want is soft verse/heavy chorus, but its not punchy enough.

Also the singing is a little too loud/brash in the chorus. Maybe a little reverb too smooth and soften it a little.

there are a few timing issues as well , but all in all, very good.

Hey thanks!

I agree...the guitars could come up in the chorus' and ya, there are some timing issues...they are mostly w/ the bass.

Thanks for your reply!

as mentioned, this is pretty good except for the timing issues.. they really stick out to me.. it's hard to not keep complaining about them because they keep coming.. the heavier part should have more balls..

shoot that bass player! :)

keep at it..
 
Not too bad. Some good listening. I liked the singer's voice. Good lyrics - "was it something I said as a china plate flew by" was real good. "...I propsed to a girl named Sue. We have three kids, now I don't think of you." Another real good one.

The lead vox during the chorus bobble that long note every once in a while. Little pitch issues with it.

Some syncing issue with the harmony vox at 2:55.

The guitars during the chorus are covering the vocals. Maybe some EQ cuts on them would help.

Little pops at :51, :59. Other spots too.

Little tempo problem with the drums through: 2:00-2:05.

Good job.
 
Thanks!

I can't notice the pops. Does it sound like it is clipping? I know the snare clips a lot. I tried to go in and edit the waveform where the clipping is noticable.

Thanks for your feedback...I really apreciate people taking time to give it a listen and critique me.

No it didn't sound like clipping. It sounded like a bad punch-in. Now it could be that when you edited the wave to remove a clip, you introduced the pop. If you don't make your cuts at a zero crossing point of the wave form, you'll get a sound much like what I heard.

I don't know what software you're using, but at the points you made your cuts you should try to put in what's uaually called a "crossfade". That will fade the sound down to a zero crossing point. It can do it over a very short period of time so that it's not noticable.
