I've been working on a new song by our little duo, "Herod the Fink". This one is called "Desperate Husband's Chorus", and to be honest, I'm kind of anxious and hesitant to post it. This is mainly because my previous post, Back to 337 had such a tremendous response.

So, anyway... This one probably won't be as commercial of a song, but I'm really interested in getting comments on the mix.

Thanks to all who listen!

Sounds really good Jason!
Very nice recording with a nice roomy depth. Drums sound great. Singer's got a nice voice. I really like the jingle-jangley guitars and the La Bamba part. :D
Nice work!

Joey :):):):)
 
Boy it's like you wrote the story about me - I'm the worst shopper ever. Thankfully I have my daughter to coach me now so I don't have to ask directly what she wants.

The vocals are a good level but it's hard to make out the lyrics. I'm not sure how I would work that but I'm guessing some eq somewhere. The story is so good I just want to hear it told...

There's a nice tone to the mix which I'm diggin' - smooth level and still punchy. All the guitars are nice and clear and the drums are benefiting from the mics. That kick is smokin'...

Good one!

:D:):D:)
 
pretty neat, its hilarious the night before xmas and all you see is men in the stores lol:) La Bamba is awesome too, pretty neat song. i wish i could comment more on the mix but i'm not that far yet:) cool song tho:):D
 
I like it alot, the first time I listened to it on my laptop speakers and was a little underwhelmed, but on my tracking cans it sounds way more full. The drums sound really good, everything really works well together tone and style wise. I'm really diggin it!
 
Good catchy song, and it puts a :D on your face!

Looking for faults, I think the bass is getting lost amongst the guitars - I'd like to hear it defined more clearly. Also, I think the first chorus could do with more definition from the verse (it's the same chords without a bridge so you're not sure if it is a chorus at first) it might be worth trying to treat it the same way as you do the second & third choruses with the extra vocals. Good mix otherwise.
 
Can't find much fault with this. I found myself just getting into the groove so much I forgot to listen super closely for any issues. I thought, shit.. better play it again and did the same thing!! Got lost in the song. :rolleyes: Oh well... Cool tune. :cool:

Sorry, it's been so long since I did anything with this post. Your replies are appreciated - and rep has been spread out. Thanks for listening!

About the bass being too low. I'm gonna address that, for sure. I had it up, but then during portions of the song where the bass is more prominent, I thought it was too high. I think I'm gonna raise it up a bit.

Addressing ido and Greg's comments about the vocals / siblance issues - I'm pretty sure I know exactly what you're talking about, and I agree. I'm gonna re-visit that. I've been trying to figure out how to fatten up vocal tracks without making it obvious there are multiple takes being layered. I've got an idea which will take away the extra sibilance, and fatten them up at the same time....

Great comments, guys. I'll post a remix soon.
 
Okay... I attacked sibilance and bass. Let me know if ya think this one's better.

The vocals are definitely clearer now, and less sibilance :D

Perfect! I did a lot of gain tweaking in the vocal tracks (4 of em'), put in an EQ cut where the siblance was, and I added what's called a "sigmoid booster" to the main vocal tracks, and it did a splendid job of fattening the vocals.

Thanks for listening, Gerry!
 
Sounds much better to my ears - better bass, better vocals.
