Hello one and all, I have been lurking for quite a while, and was wondering if all of you would check out one of the early mixes of my band's first recordings... I am slightly happy with the mix, I think that the bass has some subtracitve eq'ing to be done, but otherwise, I'm pretty happy! ;) Please, please, if you will, check it out and let me know! www.mp3.com/city_by_sea
 
Nice moody peice. The vocalist is excellent. I can here that voice singing a lot of good music. Nice job
 
...I'm a lurker too most of the time. But I really like this song. There are lots of great songs posted here, but this is *my* kind of song.

As for the mix, I could just listen to the song, there wasn't anything in the mix that distracted from the song. The only thought that I had was that the distorted guitar(s) could peek out a bit more, they do get totally buried in places, I think. Although that could be the best choice...I don't know.
 
Sorry, I don't register to listen to music.........

www.nowhereradio.com is free for the most part. Its run by Waldo and I used it until I got my own web space. He gives awsome customer service so I don't mind refering it to people. Check it out.
 
LOVE THAT INTRO !

Her voice is ABOSOLUTLY ASTONDING!

I find the song intelligent, moody, moving, and passionate.

The recording quality is very, very good.

I would love to get my songs to sound this good.

Downloading and dropping 5.

Bravo!
 
Ditto smellyfuzz's post.Very moody piece of music and the vocalist connects with the listener right(connected with me) out of the gate.Nice vocal harmonies.
 
I am floored, typing on my knees, she is doing it. Doubled vocals at 3:04 and 5:39 de-tune, might have panned hard L/R there,works everywhere else, the ambience after it [verb only return on guit?] sounds like: guess what, we got Alice Cooper to play a zombie[good].
[being a bass player] Bass is late @ 6:31, this song is tweekin' me, love it.
 
Thanks folks, this is my first recording project completely and totally done on my own. I am the bass player and noticed the late note, and will have to go back in and kick it over a little bit! ;)

It's protools le, bass is di and with a beta 52 on an Ampeg svt (69?) and a svt pro 50 cab at four feet, rather loudly! Drums are the beta 52, a beta 57 on the snare and two mxl v63's overhead... Guitar is a di'd Tacoma, electrics are my little secret, very very processed, no dry tone what-so-ever.... Vocals till about 4:50 are a rode nt1 and then a beta 58 take over... I thought the song would play out better "emotionally" if it was lighter on verb, just a tiny little plate on vocals and acoustic, drums are just room noise...

I feel like I have done about three hundred mixes's of the song. And I do believe I have about twenty more till I am satisfied. Ditto understanding on the ambience guitars, I need to ride them a little bit better.

And I am at this moment siging up for nowhereradio! Seems to be such a better service than mp3.com, which is on it's way out anyway! Thanks guys keep em comin!

Why didn't I see this thread before. :D Fantastic. Considering the mics, the sound is amazing. Damn. I'm jealous :)
 
Sounds good here except the bass needs trimming.

I'm in the Buffalo area.

Keep up the good work, Charva
 
Sorry it's late, listening on cans.

Excellent job if this is your first attempt. Your vocalist is very talented and I did like her performance. I thought the dry guits were very tastefully written, i wish had musical ideas like that but unfortunately that feels like a blind spot to me.

I'm glad to see lurkers coming out to post and hearing new things. Often get so wrapped up in familiarity, you never realize what next great recording you could be hearing.

by far a very tasty tasty moment that double at 3:00.

Something at 4:18 coming out of the left, is sounding odd to me, like guitar overtones or feedback. Something maybe panned too hard for my taste?

At the end reminding me of Linda Perry somewhat. Not sure how i'm feeling about the vox at the 5:55 mark, didn't think the lines in that area were up to par with the rest of her performance.

first timin? Great stuff.
