I don't know if you want comments or if you just want me to tell you tell you tell you that I like it too.:)
Anyway, it's overall a good recording. Vocals sound good and are right on top of it like they should be. But I find the snare distant and not powerful enough. It sounds like it's not part of the same kit as the high hat and cymbals, which are louder. The vocals are right there and the guitars fill up the song nicely. My only nit would be the drums or more specifically the snare and kik are a little weak, in my opinion.
 
Of course I want comments, that´s why I post here :)
I was just a little excited yesterday. You´re right about the snare, will try to fix it.
 
NICE!
That snare drum could be an EQ thing. A little tweak could pull it right up... and you have room to knock that guitar back a dB or two. that mite also help.
Jeez, its good though :)

I know, I was just teasing you about the "tell me tell me tell me". :)

It's a good tune, very good tune. I just try to look for things to critisize when I listen because I know that when I post, I'd rather get comments that might help me improve instead of just a pat on the back. But you deserve a big pat on the back also.
 
Thanks, remixing it right now, trying to get more snare and kick in it, and less second guitars. Everytime I compress the whole master the punch seems to dissappear..
 
Nice tune. Seems a bit loud at times. That kind of makes some of the sounds muffle others. Great guitar tone, and the vocals are really cool. Song has a nice feel, and the interlude at about 2:00 is cool. Drums sound really good at that point. At about 2:50, the cymbal sounds funny. Is it compressed alot, or just loud? Really hides everything else at times. All in all, great song. Maybe bring some levels down, and that will really open the mix up.

Very cool song... I like the feel and instrumentation. It's clipping a lot though. You have to bring the levels on the whole mix down some, the clipping is creating a lot of distortion and extra noise. I attached a pic of the mp3 waveform just to see if I was right, everything off the scale is clipping there and sounding distorted on my system. If you can view it like this somehow (I use goldwave... free program), try to get the peaks right below the cutoff point. Otherwise sounds like a really really good song ;)

The guitars are pretty loud but fit-in well nonetheless.
The hats are overpowering and should be brought down as you can hear it phasing a tad.

The snare is straight-out lost. Possibly due to the hat-mic(?)!
Surpisingly, even though my PC’s Cracker Jack speakers suck balls, I can hear the bass really well.
I love the dissonance the guitars are creating as the main guitar line and the HUGE C to G# change during the Bridge sections are, for the lack of a better word... TITS!

Awesome job!!!

Maybe the guitars are panned a bit too hard for my taste but, that’s all a matter of my taste which should mean dick to you (the producer)!

The vocals could be brought up in some parts and they are a bit raw and too unprocessed for the track . You may need to kick up the verb, add delay, add globs of compression... do something because they’re just sitting their just lacking. You may need to sparkle it up a bit as well like maybe doubling it or adding a quick ev plate or slapback delay. (just my opinion)

Excellent job F_cksia
 
Cool song! Nice vocals and keys. The only thing is I think there is WAY too much bass. I think if you got it a bit more distinct instead of in your face everything else would fall right into place. Maybe roll off the lows a bit and back down the level just a touch and it seems to me like it should all fall right in place.

Just MHO, YMMV, yada yada...
 
Since nobody here chooses to give an honest opinion,I will supply one for you-re-record the "song".no amount of mixing or mastering from a do-it-yourself box is going to make this thing swing any better.
tell your drumer to hit that fucking snare like his life depends on it!
He should be the first one to get the boot out of the band if you know what I mean.
levels are all too loud,hi-hat is annoying.
I would turn this down if it were brought to Mystery Records as a single.
Just would not move any units.

Not a bad tune. However, the pumping and distortion caused by all the compression/limiting is making me a bit seasick. Back off a little and let this thing breathe.
 
Nice tune, but I have to agree with scrubs and SnakeDog5050.it's a bit loud, and has some artifacts from compression. Can you remix this, and make it more even? Sounds like a good song, just needing some TLC.

Dude, much better. I can still make out every instrument, and they aren't stepping on each other like before. Going into the chorus, there is still a lot of sound buildup, but it's not like before. It just gets really bright. I don't know if you want to try and do something about this, or if it's intentional. It just gets a bit cluttered. At 2:55 it also gets pretty cluttered. Lots of highs, between the cymbals and guitars seem to build and take all the space. Other than a few issues like that, I really like the song, and you seem to be nailing it down now...
