Great tune, just added it to my playlist!

Drums could use a little polish, PM me if you need a little help. :)

ok, genral warning-opinions follow :eek:

bass-it's kinda thin (just a little) but he's overplaying, and is sloppy because of it, ok on stage but kiss for a recording.

gits- sound pritty good i'd just like a tad more "air" and a slight bit thicker might sound good, but just a little. but the song as a hole would sound tighter if the gits were tighter with one another.

kit-i'd like a bit more hi's in the snare and maby a little more volume
but less reverb, esp on the toms.

sounds good :D
 
Thanks for the reply's.

When you said the drums could use more polish did you mean in the recording, the performance or both "Mallcore Pop."

Opinions are great "giraffe", that's why it's posted. I'll keep your suggestions and consider them when I do the final mix. I think I'll take a little verb off the toms. Thanks.
 
seriously, a lot of people ask for opinions, but only want praise
and they git pissed when you don't give it to them.

The performance is solid, mixwise the kick and snare need more attack, a nice 5-6k boosty (maybe narrow cut @ 300ish on snare) and you'll be set.

What was the drum tracking setup? Any questions, feel free to PM me, but PM me anyway. :)

Great song, keep up the good work!

I'll agree with Giraffe on this one about the bass. Other than that it sounded good. What'd you use for the vocals?
 
Cool song. Has a 60's feel to they lyrics but with more of an edge. I agree with giraffe's comments earlier about mix and performance details. With the vox, the line "The old man and I wager on..." is pretty flat but that's the only place I'm noticing it. Some good guitar sounds, vocals and songwriting here.

I know what you mean giraffe, as long as people aren't rude I'm all for an opinion, a few of my alltime favourite critiques I've got on songs are some of the one's that were not rave reviews. You know, take it all in stride, at the end of the day the writer or band still decides what they want to do.

Mallcore, the drum tracking was down with a AKG package mostly.

AKG D112 - offset slightly from the beater likely 6 plus inches from the source for the Kick, I want to experiment with a wooden beater next time on the drum instead of felt, and I've heard you can put something where the beater hits the skin to give it more of a clack

AKG C1000 S - for the overheads... panned left and right

AKG C 418 - Little clip on mics for the toms and I put one on the snare, next time I'm going to try to set a clip on mic under the snare,

I also have a Shure SM57 on the snare, which is the main snare mic I use, usually on a 45 angle to the snare.

We need to really experiment with the sound at the source. Been doing a lot of reading and am itching to try some new things with the next batch of songs we track.

Megaman for the vocals a Studio Projects C1 was used. Thanks for listening
