....trying O.E. (err... "I.E." :D)

...downloading...

...headed toward NIN-ville... Something distracting about the 808-style kick sound, is it clipped? On certain notes it seems to. Creating a nice mood here... guitars kick in at 1:23... buzzsaw sound... mids are heavy in the mix (between 1 kHz ~ 2kHz), and vocal gets hidden. Like the groove though, this is a cool song!

Good, scary outro. Vocal could use a bit more conviction and confidence, but you've made something to be proud of. Good job! :)

I likes it! The voice isn't clear enough though. It's just too far back in the mix. Don't feel alone......it seems like 3/4 of the songs that go up have the vocals mixed too low. I wonder why that is? Other than that....I liked it a lot...especially the way you used different sounds to provide a lot of the rhythmic structure. The groove you ended up with was very cool and I don't think it could have sounded like that any other way. Nice tune. :)
 
Good stuff. Vox should come up 1 or 2 db, but other than that sounds cool to me. Very full. Nice outro.
 
Thanks for the replies. The kick is a comination of a couple of kicks. One is slightly distorted, this is where you might be hearing clipping sounds.

The vocals were hard to do on this song. They are very quiet in the beginning and with my equipment (NT1, Presonus Bluetube, NanoCompressor) Its hard to get a "clean loud" sound without picking up the crickets outside.

Thanks for listening.
 
hey son, I remember hearing your tunes in the past and I like this one the best.. I love mood songs like this..:)


nice job! I dug it..

Music in a style I like very much. but... a couple things bugged me. A little 'buzzy' on some of the sounds, and the vocals come off to me like a karioke kinda style....where someone is really trying to sing their heart out, but it just isn't really there. It maybe the 'right' notes, but the presentation sounds contrived. Also, I think quite a bit low in volume, in an attempt to let the uniqueness of the synths grab your interest first.

I really like the style of music ... I already said that..didn't I?:rolleyes:
 
Believe it or not, but that recording was my first song totally with the computer and not my Akai DPS16 (which I miss). And at the time I was only using the stock soundcard on my HP. Thats why you can hear some static in some of the sounds. But I have recently picked up a new soundcard. So Im hoping to get some better results.

Happy 4th All ! Have a safe one. Im off to see some fireworks.

Hey sondriven,

Loved the forboding, dramatic intro. Vox sound great but, I think they should go up in the mix. The mood and flow of the tune really work. Maybe a fuller climax would sound good. A double time back up vox track at the hieght of the build or.......maybe not, just a thought.

This song really sets itself up well. Nice writing and recording!!
For some reason, I didn't think the resolved synth on the exit fit. Maybe fade out the drum beat behind the resolution to give it an eiry(sp?) feel from begining to end.

Glad to hear your songs again:)

Peace,

Theron.
