Every night it hits me...(I miss you)

first off, you'll want to cut out the person moving around at the beginning of the song. I had headphones on when I first played it and I could hear him clear as a bell. There's also a TON of static/noise. You need to work on removing that too. Drums sound fake...kind of like someone beating on a table or something. What'd you use for drums?? Are they MIDI? I'd say replace all the drums sounds. I'm also lacking bass. My subwoofer isn't even moving. It sounds like all highs. And combined with the noise, I was first thinking that I was playing the Lo-Fi version of the song, but nope...it's the MP3...so I should be getting a little something. The guitars I like and the vocals sound pretty good. Make sure the fade out is smooth at the end and all the tracks have the same fade out. You'd probably want to automate the master fader to do this instead of individual tracks. Also...cut out that talking at the end of the song. You said you just finished it but it sounds like simple editing still needs to be done. One last big problem I hear is there seems to be a big phasing problem. I can't pinpoint it, but if I had to guess I would say it is actually the hiss that is giving itself phasing issues. I think you need to first pinpoint the source of the noise and get rid of it. good luck.
 
A well played guitar and the song has lots of potential.

Seems to me the vocals are too strong and upfront, whilst the backing is hidden. Seemed to lack the lower freq., and thus lost a lot of punch.

Well written and a good arrangement and worth improving the mix.

sweeeeeet

well written, well performed - wouldn't change the song or the performance, but yeah the vocals are too loud. I had to turn it down when the vocals kicked in cos they were attacking my ears (smooth and deep though they are). it detrects from everything else bein so good.

my 2 cents
 
the drums and bass were midi...a friend of mine did that in his studio on an 8 track reel to reel. I loaded his tracks on my digital recorder and added the vocals. I mixed the vocals on headphones and I did hear alot of hiss on his tracks. The "shuffling around" noise that I made when cutting the vocals was supposed to be edited out....guess I didn't get it. I will do the whole song on my recorder and get a better overall recording next time.

thanks for the input guys!
 
awesome song man.....

i wish the recording was better......too hissy......
 
......too hissy......

Yeah I agree with gidge, but I just forgot about the hiss and all (cause I know for a fact you do better work than that). The song is great man..kinda fuckin' cheesy..but in a vfw kinda way hehe :D ..you know i'm just messin with ya :) . Lyric's are really really great..but you alway's come up with great lines :cool: . Watch out for your vocal notes on the next run man, some were a little off, you already know that. I wanna hear your next go at this :cool:
