New Song..."Alone"

[NitroTrain]

G'day everyone,
I have a new song called...."Alone"
I am new to this recording caper,so bare with me
on the quality...the levels are really bad & I cant sing
to save my life.
Anyways,what do you think of the song itself??
Take care...James

Interesting digital-wind sweeping sound there... almost like you recorded a wind sample, then put it through a flanger.

Very nice groove after the intro... YUP YER RIGHT ABOUT THE LEVELS Okay, mix critique mode -- OFF.

Can't comment on vox cuz... can't hear them... sorry was that a mix comment? Very groovy rhythm; waiting for a groundbreaking change here... there's a good change at 2:15. "Show me the reason... I'm still alone..." Vocal/melody could use some more dynamics i.e. more different notes, quiet/loud etc. At 3:19... right at 3:19... my ears would have liked an instrumental break. Would have worked at 3:35 too... maybe by 4:07 it's too late for a break.

The thing here is repetition. Is there too much? You have some nice sounds to work with and YES it will be better with a good mix. But even with a good mix, this song seems to need something where the bass and drums go by themselves -- a change up in rhythm that really makes the song the groovy thang it could be.

I like the start you've made. And the bunghole who gave you a one star rating can chew my ass fat! (there's not much ass fat ta chew, tho )

Keep workin on yer tune.

Vocals are real hard to hear at times. the song needs some work but, I think you already know that. Keep playing, it will come.

Hi Chad,
Thanks for the input.I am going to re-hash the song
at a later date & I will take your suggestions on board,thanks.
G'day Flash,
Thanks for the reply,it will come....I hope.

I think I need to take stock & take more time to record my songs
& try & sort out this recording stuff.
Hopefully the next time I post a song,it will be something decent for you guys to listen to...see ya soon,James.

hey Nitro,

I like the tune but it is really saturated with too much effects.. Your voice sounds decent so you should dry it off.. I don't think it needs to be soo saturated.. That guitar with the flanger is too much going all the time.. You have a decent song, but it needs to be remixed.. I would consider redoing that guitar because the sound isn't good..

I like these types of songs, kinda 80's sounding..

you have to get rid of some of those swirls because it got to be very distracting.. Maybe use that for certain parts and then dry it off later.. take off some of those effects and make the vocals LOUDER.. Your voice is decent so don't worry.. I have the same problem sometimes but the comments from this place are helping me tremendously..

they will do the same for you if you listen to what people are saying about the mix..


The song itself was good, I liked the groove but the mix doesn't do it justice..


Keep it goin! I like the song itself, and that's what counts.. Just needs major mix help..

Sounds good!

I agree if you follow B.SABBATH's advice,could be really great.

I dug the wind sound too.

Looking foward to hearing more.

Best to you,
Pete

Cool intro but, maybe too hissy.....
That vocal is lost in a bad way. Retrieve it.

Sounds like the bass is kinda out of hand. Maybe try some eq to settle it down. Get rid of some of the low,low end.

Is that kick panned left? Hope it is just me

I like the synth and the modulated git but, they could know thier place in the mix better. It sounds like they bleed frequencies all over.

Cool tune. The mix needs definition and within that definition, the vox must come into play more.

Thanks for the listen,

Theron.

You guys are great...Thanks for the input.
Me,Jack Daniels & my computer have got some
serious work to do this weekend!!!..lol

B.Sabb...If I could get a guit sound as half as good
as yours I would be a happy man.Thanks for the input
I really appreciate it.

Rick...Thanks man,I will keep em coming.I got about 20
songs on paper,so these recordings are basically to get them
down on CD to be ripped apart & recorded properly at a later date.

Pete...I am taking all the advice on board,thanks for the input

Theron...I think the kick is slightly to the left.As far as EQ's
I aint using any at this stage.Gotta get that side of things sorted.
I have stuff all gear at the moment.Thanks for the advice.

Take care you guys & have a great weekend...James
