I recorded a song, called "Seperate Lies" which you can hear at:
http://soundclick.com/share?songid=8440963

I was wondering if you could give me tips on what to fix,
What to take out, and general opinions on the mix.

I'm ready for the butchering to begin! Haha
 
dude folks work...have you listened to or left a critique on anyone elses work? its a community not a one stop shop..not having a go but patience is a virtue ;)


that asides this sounds great on my cans...I think the kick could have a sharper attack and the rockier part of your vocals couldve done with more grit (like I can sing lol), I wasnt keen on the initial vocal effect...on the keyboard part during the verses a phaser would maybe help spread the notes out more

just nit picking really

I enjoyed it over all..the levels seemed right to me and the performance polished
 
I don't give critiques, because (And i'll be the first to admit it), I don't have as much knowledge as you guys do, to be throwing my thoughts in.

I have a handle on things, but I came here to soak up as much knowledge as i possibly can before I start throwing my opinion wildly about.

Just thought I'd explain that.

And thank you for your thoughts.
The half singing I agree probably could have done with a little grit,
And not to cop out and make an excuse, But I was a little sick when I recorded this haha.

If you do insist, I'll try openly throwing my opinion around though.
Rest assured I've listened to all the songs on the first page though haha.

Click to expand...

please do...its funny but critiquing others work helps you hear things in your own stuff..you still have a pair of ears

and Im a n00b to mate..hadn't recorded anything in my life until recently but feeling much more confident with my mixing due to this forum


you've got it going on and talents a gift..so enjoy and welcome :)
 
Yup, what KC said. Listening and commenting on others is a good way to get your stuff listened to.

I like what you've got going here. Nice dynamic range, it doesn't feel squashed, so it moves in and out and has some sonic depth. keyboards adds nice tension and supports the lyrics.

no real critiques on mix. Sounds good as is.

peace.
 
I like the backing music. It's solid.

I don't know how enthusiastic I am about the vocals. I kind of feel like the compromise you struck between singing and not singing was not a good one. I think it would have been a good idea to make the vocals either much more melodic or much less.

On the other hand, this isn't really my preferred sort of music, so I'm far from an expert. :D
 
Cool. The mix has good depth to it and I like your vocal delivery, although somehow it seemed odd on the "...with a million separate lies" part, where to me, the roughness of your voice there seemed out of place...perhaps just me, but I'd prefer that bit to be smoother. Sounds fine during the verses though. I agree that the kick could have a sharper attack. Fun listen though...thanks.
