Yah, I know,,,,,,,It's that f*ckin' "theron" dude again........:D

I read through the lyrics and thought they were pretty cool, kinda scatter brained verging on cope out, but cool. SO......I listened to the tune again and I LOVE your Phrazing and Inflection!!! It took me a bit to hear the talent of your seemingly cute but, very smart writting and delivery.

I must confess that I read Fed's post about the timing of the gits and I don't hear a problem at all. It might be helpfull to lend a bit of individuality to the seperate tracks to make one warm, rounded and wholesome and the other more cutting and sharp. To further my confession, I wouldn't have had that in my head or ear if I didn't read Fed's post. He's on to something but, I don't think it's a timing thing.

I'm about 50% as far as "useable feedback" on my floating little prose such as this so take all my words lightly please.

I must like the tune on account of the fact that I keep coming back:D :D
 
hey mmm!

this is your best work so far imo. Excellent writing. Lyrics are genius. Mix has come a long way I think. And your drums finally sound like drums! I love the song. Really enjoy the wit of it and subtle musical allusions to REM.

I'd say your definitely winning here. Now I'm not sure what it is but your vocals always sound kind of not right in the mix to me. Can you try doing them just dry with maybe a bit of compression? They just sound over effected or something. I'm sure others know more how to diagnose this but I just know it seems like the vocal tracks could sound a lot better. Sorry I can't help with that, I don't know enough to give pointers, I just know when it doesn't sound right.

Keep at it my friend. This is a good song.
 
hey Trip, I will listen to this tomorrow.. It got too late..




late
 
it's tomorrow

hey Trip,

sounds a lot better than the first version.. I think this could be my favorite tune of yours..


The harmonies are cool but a little off.. I can't put my finger on it because they sorta work and sorta don't.. There's also something about the drum beat that doesn't always work for me.. kinda like there are some bass drums missing in some spots and it effects the groove imhop.. Maybe it's just me looking for negatives.. :D

Is someone playing those drums? I heard some minor timing issues.. I'm probably being very critical because I don't think the average listener would notice these things..


Overall it's a big improvement from the first.. :)
 
jeapster - you're a stitch. More snap? When they have snap Kramer slaughters me. Thanks for the compliments.

Howdy Slim. Yeah, midrange and I don't get along. Dang - you and Sam noticed a vocal bobble or two. I was trying a bunch of different micing techniques. By the time I got what I wanted my throat was so tired that I had trouble with the high notes. I thought I covered my tracks well enough. Crap. Don't know a thing about ArtistLaunch. BTW - MarshaMarshaMarsha is down to me alone. Crap. This song was all me and a computer drummer.

Guernica. Thanks for taking another listen and for commenting again. And I'm quite glad you like the song so much. I've listened to your stuff and it's first rate. So your compliments mean a lot.

muzeman - believe me you're not sorry you missed the first version. It was crap on a stick. :D That damn computer drummer was hard to work with on this one. Although I thought the timining issues were pretty few and fairly minor.

Fed - it might be the reverb. There is a bit on those guits. I put it there to take a bit more of the edge off. Glad the clipping went away.

theron - I'd be pissed if you DIDN'T come back. I thought the timing things were small to the point of being debatable. Kind of like you. I'm always glad when someone likes a song of mine.

erichenryus - thanks as always my man. I thought this song called for some reverb on the vox. I didn't like them dry or with delay. There is a bit of compression on them. There were several spots where I was forced to use punch-ins on the lead because I couldn't hold enough air in my lungs to get the words out. Some points are obvious. That may be what you're hearing.

Sam - please be picky. Point out everything you can. It helps me improve, and so I consider it valuable. The drums are a MIDI track. I don't play drums and don't have a drummer. This is the closest song I have to your style, so it's not surprising that it's your fav of mine. thanks for the thoughts.

Again thanks to everyone... Trip
 
TripleM:

I didn't catch the first version, but I think this one is excellent.

IMHO, I would do the hihats only hit every 1/4th instead if every 1/8th. But that's just a personal opinion.

I really liked the harmonies, just a little tiny bit off but I liked them a lot, very beatlesque or queenesque ones.

Congrats!
