Hi all,

I've been working with this band for a day in the studio, developing their sound and style....

Tell my what you think about the above, and thx for lending an ear .

Everything is recorded and mixed in my humble studio, primarly with UAD, PoCo and Creamware plugins.

Happy Christmas to everyone.
 
The mix has nice space and depth.

Kick drum needs to come up to give the bottom end more guts. Needs a thumpy kick.

Vocals fit nicely.

About 2:02 mark the high hats are abit distracting. Try abit lower in that section when they are open.

There's one snare tap in the intro that is slightly out of time but it's hard to pick so no big deal. I like the claps in the intro.

I really liked the way you layered the various parts to give the mix variety.

Nice Mix, keep up the good work!

Give the kick a tiny bit more definition. Maybe raise the snare a bit. I would lower the compression on the cymbals a bit too.

I'm REALLY digging this song. Got anything else?
 
Very good stuff..The only thing that I hear is that the guitar is out..The one that plays the single lines..the bends were outa pitch a little..It was surpiseing to me as the rest was very well done :)
 
It's a very summery song - really like female Scandinavian voices (Bjork, Cardigans) in general. Would take out the 'all right!', which is a bit corny.
 
this is different. and very good. the mix has great clarity and width. i do think the hats are a bit much sometimes as previously stated. i think the bass drum works however. and the compression on the cymbals works. i wouldnt change anything but the hats and yes please ditch the "alright!". lol

nice work

I agree about the kick, and the guitar not in scale :)
Can make a more interesting lead in there.

All in all a very nice tune :)

I think the open hihat that come at 2:00 is too loud.
I also hear a a bit too much highs and a bit lack of mids in the overall sound
(but that's my general preference)
 
nice sounding..agreed about the hi-hats at the back 1/2 of the song being a bit too loud.......me likes!
Reminds me of a band called "Veruca Salt" :-)
 
i agree with the hi hat being a bit loud...the kick and snare need to come up a bit and everything else is damn good to me....pat your self on the back and smack your significant other on the ass
 
Damn rad man. I like the open HH on the second half of the song, goes well with the vibe in my opinion.
 
:O There is hope for home recording studios! Very professional sounding
I would agree that one note in the guitar solo does not belong (about 5 beats into the solo. Doesn't resolve well with the chords) I also noticed alot of hiss in the recording, something in the setup perhaps causing extra hiss? Anyway, great stuff!
 
the claps bugged me a bit -a bit too much flam for me

i liked the outta tune bendy blues element of the guitar solos

good demo all in all!
