So I know you guys are probably sick of this song today and I thank you for your patience.

I tweaked the cymbals a bit and retracked the vocals. I think I nailed it this time, tell me what you think.

It's A Wanderer work3 (master)

I figured out the secret to a great bedroom vocal performance....do it with your zipper down.

I even did a little T-racks.
 
No wonder I saw this on your NWR page as I was clickin' on "works" version.

A vast improvement on the vox!
They are out front more and doubled nicely....

Relaxxxxx............Relax................

Damn, this IS better than what I heard 5 minutes ago.

Print it

:D
 
Thanks man. I think this one is head and shoulders above the last million trys.
 
Sounds good here, nice style. Did you perform all the stuff yourself? I like the vox and I agree the double turned out nice.
 
wow - it's amazing how much better is does sound - the vocals are a lot better.
 
Thanks.
This song started as a jam of drums played by my friend Jason Reece from the band 'and you will know us by the trail of dead' and myself on bass. I wrote the lyrics a few days later and played and arranged the rest of the song over a week or two.

Thanks for the thumbs up folks.
 
Here are the lyrics in case anyone wants to read along:

Confused, Alone, a Wanderer, A soul with no home

Gives you, Shelter, and brings you Under his wing

A death pact, of forgiveness, A reason to bear WITNESS

To this story, as an answer, a legend, in disregard of the truth

Still from deep inside something beckons you

You don't have to but you wanted TWO2 As it opens up and you step inside

you can feel it surrond you YEAH
it holds you
YEAH
controlls you
YEAH
it kills you
And no ones gonna miss you when your gone
creates you YEAH
destroys you
YEAH
No ones gonna miss you when you're a
Situational psychopath in a conversational blood bath with reverence as the simple lure ...and with the truth still so obscure, you can send me home but we will meet again yeah.

So turn your hate on your weapons at last, you're out on a limb but you're coming round fast
Relax
relax
relax
or no one's gonna miss you when you're
Confused, Alone, a Wanderer, A soul with no home

Gives you, Shelter, and brings you Under his wing

A death pact, of forgiveness, A reason to bear WITNESS

To this story, as an answer, a legend, in disregard of the truth

Still from deep within, something pulls you in, you don't have them but you wanted ten10

As it opens up and you step inside you can feel it surrond you
YEAH
it holds you
YEAH
controlls you
YEAH
it kills you
And no ones gonna miss you when your gone
creates you YEAH
destroys you
YEAH
and no ones gonna miss you when you
Finally find the energy to carry out your tragic scheme, well practiced strategy to force a feeling or a theme.
And in that final monent when it all makes sense, when it all connects and the last light reflects you will see that we shall meet again.
YEAH
The last ...second
YEAH
Never ends
YEAH

but no ones gonna miss you then
 
Love those tom hit's on the drums..good drums, and i love the style. Vocals are a hit,,, need to be a bit cleaner from my end though..pretty damn close i think. Is that a SansAmp gtr effect? If it is.. sounds damn good. Like this tune a lot jake.

Thanks, could you be more specific? Cleaner how?

It's a Trademark 10 amp recorded direct.
 
No no...no feathers ruffled at all. Sorry, if I don't use enough smilies just imagine the weirdest ones you've ever seen after every sentence ok?

So not enough highs? Is that just the vocal or the whole thing? Do you mind if I ask what you are listening on?

BTW, I don't get ruffled, I get PSYCHO and you are nowhere near that.

I actually like criticism about my music in fact the more honest...even harsh the more I appreciate it. My motto is do unto others blah blah....and I will rip a persons music asunder for any little thing so just imagine I just burned you when commenting on my music.

Thanks again, Jake

Siunds good. The first mix I heard sounded a little too wide open to my ears, this one sounds a lot more balanced and full, the guitars are adding more kick to the tune.

There's a bit of reverb mismatch going on between the guitars and everything else that is kind of drying out the center of the mix by contrast.
 
Whoa - dude, that's a LOT better. That's not just resing it...that's re-inventing it. sounds like you added some verb on this take? Whatever you did, it's damned good...clean, clear, upfront. Makes the whole mix just sound bigger.

Nice job..what was the difference?
 
Thanks freshears for the opinions. Fenderlickingood...wow man thanks. Doug, the only verb in this mix is a vocal track so I'm not sure what that is that you're hearing....well there might be a bit of spring on the trademark 10. Chris, thanks man. I'm telling you the difference was using the zipper down trick. No actually it was getting my threshold right so I could belt it out without clipping, that and feeling the song the whole way through. When you are proud of how you sound it's no problem to crank the vocals.

Thanks for all the comments and if anyone feels the need keep 'em coming.

I'm digging this one, I think it hits the feeling, finally.
 
Heck, I`m not too hard to please. I liked it before as well. But, in this one you got the vocals sitting at the head of the structure, clean and distinguishable. A professional sound in the mix.
 
Hey Toki, thanks man.

I think I'm finally done with this steenkin tune.


Next!
 
Heh...I downloaded the last version a couple of days ago and listened to it and came back to find this version posted. :D. I listened to both. This is MUCH better sounding. Especially the vox. I think the guitar tone rocks. Very nice. Your voice sounds really good on this song. I have no other comments. Nice work!!

Ok, thanks for listening.

BTW, I've updated this mix now it's just called 'A Wanderer'. I boosted the background vox, drums and bass. It rocks just a teensy bit more now. I hope freshears will be happy with it now.

Thanks all! ;)
