journey's end - remix

  • Thread starter Thread starter joeym
  • Start date Start date
I'm catching a washy phase issue with, I believe, the hi hat, Joe ... particularly w/ the opening ... where it's alone and distinct.

The drums, also ... don't seem to have the low punch that would be effective for the material ... they're on the clicky/shallow side of sound ... particularly the toms.

Terrific vocals ... but I'd bring them forward a little more ... a little more in one's face ...

The bass and the kick, alternatively ... could go back a nudge (or two).

This song's feature element, IMO, is the vox ... bring them to the fore and mix them rich and large.

Good start.

Read the lyrics before song started...caught my intrest right away....voclas are really great....agree with kev's drum comments..they are a bit weak compared to that powerful vocal....mix has a nice full spread on my phones....loved the guitar solo:D! Cool ending.
 
I like the guitar tone. Very flowing and smooth.

The vocalist (is it you) did very well. Great voice.
 
Joey - sweet job.
The bass'll need a little more definition if it's to stay at that level.
I'm not sure that the streamer at supload does your work justice. Would you know what they do to it to stream? I'll download this at the next tweak so I can hear it better.
 
the kick bugs me. i think a boomy more thudding sound would fit better. i think the vocals are fine where they are i don't think they need to be any higher. bass needs more definition in my opinion. guitars are great.

Glad you like it queepy!
My friend had the idea to the lyrics. He sat at the entrance to a harbor and watched ships coming in. We transformed it into a song about the journey of life. :)

Thanx for your comments :) :)

I agree about the bass, Ray. I tried to play with the frequencies but it still gets lost. I recorded the damn thing with a condenser just to see the difference to my SM57. I'll have to review it again. I have no idea haw Supload streams, sorry (don't even know what that is...ssh)
Thanx for your comments!
:D:D:D:D

Thanx, man!
Like I said I'll have to review the drums a bit, kick really is too clicky.
Agree about the vocals actaually. I like to feel them in the mix, not above it.

Appreciate your comments! :):)
 
beisdes the drum issue, my only nit is a guitar part that steps all over the vocal (imo)...turn it down, pan it away..but its distracting me..

this kicks ass...you got the chops dude...

Thanx for comments, Gidge!
Which guitar do mean, the distorted ones or the clean ones?

Joe :):)
 
I think the mix and the performance are great Joey. Nothing to recommend...it's all good! Really like this one - powerful and emotiional :cool:
 
cool man

I like it...do you want to sing on my track you commented on...I reckon you'd be perfect

Reminds me of creed...

Will have a go at mastering this track if you like, have a really nice plug I've been playing around with...

EDIT - not sure if you added a little too much compression to the drum mix. Lovely lead guitar tone

Cheers dude!
ben.
 
Sure, just send me a PM....might take some time 'cos I'm working on a lot of stuff right now, but I'd be happy to sing on your song.

I can send you the unmastered mix if you'd like to try mastering. Yes, there is a compressor on the drum bus.

Thanx for your comments!

Joe :):):)

the distorted, like the part coming in at :47..b4 that, the vocal is clean and clear..not as much an issue later on when that part comes in because the vocal is louder, but still a tad..
 
your voice reminds me of someone..Im thinking Jani Lane..
