Just a little interference between the kick and the bass. Excellent playing and writing as always. Love the vocals on the chorus.
Cool dropout at the beginning of the 2nd verse. Your snare sounds a bit muffled to my ears. Maybe because I was working on mine this AM...
Another great tune, RAMI!

Guitars sound great. Bass and vocal too.
I think the low end might be a little strong, especially the kick. I think you could just turn down the kick and bass a little bit.
The cymbals are a little harsh. Especially the high-hat. Just a bit. The rest of the drums sound great.
Like the harmonies.
That's about it. Vocal doubling meets my approval.
No pops. Sounds great.

Turned out pretty good. You certainly have a way with harmonizing vocals. Can't find anything to criticize.

RAMI, I listened to it, but had nothing to comment on. I'll be really interested over the next couple of years (if both of us live that long lol) to see if you can find a way to improve the sound you're getting.

Well that sucks. I can't say I blame him. This place has been hemorrhaging good members for a while now.

Maybe if we get him five pages of comments, he'll come back.

There was a time when lots of people got 5 pages of comments. Useful comments from knowledgeable people that also made good recordings. That don't happen so much anymore.

I'm going to cut a couple of country songs and put them up....I will probably get 0 comments. Maybe Rami will feel sorry for me and return to give me a review

Problem is, RAMI is one of the knowledgeable people that also makes good recordings. We keep losing them, this won't be home recording, it'll be home produkah.

The thing is, crappy or imperfect recordings and mixes are far more fertile ground for generating pages of comments than excellent recordings that need nothing doing to them. You can only say, "yeah, fantastic mix" so many times before you get fed up.

Rami is the exact type of person this place needs. He makes really good recordings using basic home-recording equipment in regular home-recording rooms. He's not a clueless idiot n00b regurgitating info he reads elsewhere, and he's not some idiot wannabe pro throwing money and gear at basic recording problems. He's a talented dude recording successfully using regular every-man's gear and techniques in average rooms. He is what this place is (was) all about, and the rampant suckage in here lately seems to have run him off. That's sad.

Man, damn e-mail notifications. I'm trying to take a break from here, but people keep posting in this thread.
I just want to respond to some of the things that were said.
First of all, of course I'll be back. I've taken breaks before and I never say/said that I'm not coming back.
Second of all, I'm not pissed off at anyone or the site in general or anything like that. Every few months I un-plug and pretty much get off the internet for a while. It actually does my soul some good and makes me miss it a little bit, which I need once in a while. There's no animosity or frustration or anything like that. I just need to get away once a in a while. If anyone looks through my history, they'd see that I've taken breaks before, and it's not always because of something negative that happened. I think, with a few exceptions (one guy thinking he's going to change the music business and some frustrated bitch playing "victim" after a few glasses of wine), this place has actually been pretty cool. So, I'm not taking a break because of anything negative.
Third of all, I came to a realization. I hate a lot of my tunes and I want to go back and re-work many of them. I think I make pretty good recordings, I play well and I sing "OK" enough to get by. But one thing I can't pat myself on the back for is probably the most important thing, and that's the fact that many of my songs just aren't well written. The thing is, I know they can be, but I end up rushing through the most important part, which is the actual singing of the song. I don't mean I sing them like shit. I mean, once I've written and re-worked the musical parts until I'm happy with them, I tend to not put the same care in writing a good melody and hook, and that's way more important than how cool that guitar riff is, or how cool that drum part is. I know I can write better songs if I wasn't so lazy with taking the time to make every song as good as it can be. I do have some good ones that I wouldn't change a thing about. But those are the exception. I sat and listened to all my tunes the other day and realized that, if it was someone else's music, I'd probably say something like "Good drumming, good guitar, good bass, good recording, but this tune does nothing for me".
So, to make a long story even longer, I'm going through many of my tunes and re-writing and re-working many of them. So I probably won't post something new for a while. I probably won't be around here for a while either. But only because I'm just taking a little break.
The tune that started this thread was taken down because I realized I needed to re-work it. It's another tune that could be good, but I need to stop sleep-walking through writing the meaningless lyrics and melody. I have to stop treating that part of the process as an after-thought.
Thanx guys.

Especially if I throw in an intro bad enough to cause a stir.You usually get loads of comments, Jimi!
