Re-recorded the guitar parts with new amp - opened some space up for the drums, reduced the vocal reverb.

Version 4: (New arrangement - guitar tone)

Version 3: (New Bass Line)

Version 2:

Version 1

Not too bad. It's kind of loose and sloppy, but that kind of fits your style. Sounds like your usual stuff, so that's good. I'd like to hear the whole drum kit louder in the mix.

 

[arcadeko]

Thanks for the listen Greg, that was the first mix, I am going to hit it again tomorrow with fresh ears - I usually like the drums prominent in the mix so I will mess with that. Might redo a few of the backing vocals too.


now here's some art

"She said sloppy, she said sloppy, she said sloppy I think I missed... etc". I LOVE that early Devo song!
Yep drums need some work & prominence.
Sloppy in a Replacements kind of way.The bass has a nice bit of definition BUT it's not loud enough to be heard clearly all the time and the bottom end isn't really there.
Song's good.\Sounds a bit Wall of Voodoo.

Song sounds good Arcadeko - I reckon you're missing a lead guitar line though. In my head I can hear something like on Love Song by the Damned that should be ripping through some of the breaks.

 

[cakewalkKaKed]

enjoyed the listen thanks

 

[JimmyS1969]

Like the tune dood! Definitely has a 'woof' to it though. More definition of the drums for sure.

 

[ido1957]

Cool tune....Yeah bring out the bright part on the drums. The bass needs some more oomph. I like the echo/reverb on the vocals - what is that? It's alright and you're doing fine....

 

[Zarkwan]

Cool song. The instruments are one thing and the vocals another. They need to meet somewhere.

 

[Watawaka]

it's all right..nice one
like the panning vocals!

Version 2:

Brought the drums up front a little more, added some guitar parts, added some double track vocals on the chorus, and a few other tweaks. thanks everyone for the feedback. appreciate it

I love the Damned - thanks for the listen - I added some lead guitar, not sure if it's working or not, but I think it is?

enjoyed the listen thanks

Thanks

Cool thanks dude, I think the drums sound a little better now, lemme know what you think

I tried to beef up the bass - see if it sounds better - I think the only thing I have on the vocals is GlacialVerb?

Thanks for the listen - I messed with the vocal levels a bit -

 

[arcadeko]

Oh and thanks everyone for the feedback!

 

[Track Rat]

I listened two version two. Drums sound fine to me. I think the bass is a bit lower in the mix for my taste. Great rocker though.

 

[Greg_L]

Version 2 is definitely better. Now get to work on those guitar and bass tones....

 

[moresound]

Yes to version 2.
Are you using a peavey amp on the guitar?
Bass just needs to be a walking bass line to define it from the guitar rhythm.

Fender Frontman amp with an HT-Dual pedal.

Walking bass line is a great idea, I will play with that some - leaving for FL in a couple hours so it will have to wait until next week.

Thanks for the listen!

You have given out too much Reputation in the last 24 hours, try again later.

Brought the low mids up on the guitar and tweaked the bass amp

I wrote a new bass line for it, see what you think of this new one

I wish I had a bass player to work with in my studio

Yeah - That's the idea! See how the bass stands out and has it's own space now.
Work on the notes in between the root notes to the guitar chords during the verse.
And at the end phrase of the verse line where you are resolving by riffing down try riffing up every other one.

 

[Telegram Sam]

I like it.
There is a fantastic compilation called "Born Out of Time" of 80's Australian Indy bands.
I think you would like it.
Good stuff.

See ya in a week Wes.
