Pope on a Rope

New member
This the first song I have worked on that goes from beginning to end minus vocals. Would you have listen and see if it is worthy of being put away as pre-master. I plan on adding vocals later when singer recovers from cold and cough.

Just a little over 8MB. 320Kb


128Kb for the slower connections


Please critique song itself and guitar solo. I need some non biased ears to offer opinions.

Thanks
 
Sounds like Sabbath...Yes that is absolutely a compliment.

Uhm...Bring the ENTIRE drum kit up.
Can you maybe compress that bass guitar a bit? give it some definition in the mix.

I love the in your face guitar sound.
the solo and the panning are nice.
 
The whole thing sounds too tight.

(did i just say that?)

Anyways yeah,,,,

It sounds like you quantized the feel out of it.

On the other hand.

The fidelity wasnt bad at all with the exception of the snare sounding wimpy.
 
Thanks for the input. I guess it's time to experiment using compression. I'll bring up the drums a bit and tweak the snare.

I see what you mean though about it being too tight sounding. The drum track was done in Fruity Loops. After I get a few songs down to CD I want to start looking for drummers. A real drummer will add some liveliness. I'm hoping that a good quality demo will yield a better selection of drummers rather than the clowns I always seem to attract. It always seems to be the same guy in a different skin who leaves their kit at my house without having a kit at home to practice on, and don't want to put in as much band practice time as I would like. For now I'm going to write and work on my recording skills.
