Wow... I hear a bunch of some of my favorite influences in there... little RATT, little Crue, and a dash of general 80's goodness throughout.
I love they way "I stood there" before the first bridge breaks out a little from the mix, then settles back in. Are you playing all of the guitars? Some GREAT guitar work in there. then there is the "quiet" bridge, love the variation vs. pure straight metal all the way through. You got some creative chops for sure.
Mixwise, it all sounded really good to me, thought i was listening to the radio. Vocals are solid, in tune, and the leads are awesome.
My only real feedback would be more prominent kick/snare -- they are quieter than the cymbals, or so it feels. Again, that is a preference thing. but man, as I listen to it again, that is minor feedback. "gonna make a new friend"... that sounds sweet.
Great job! I'd buy this album!
Are you still doing revisions on this song despite the album being out?
I wouldn't mind more power out of the drums.
The timing on "same" around 1:49 is a little off between the takes.
Otherwise, it seems to be a pretty cohesive mix.
This sounds like a pretty damn good mix to me. Great guitar tones/playing, and excellent vocals. I've got no nits at all --- very impressive!
hello beagle!
glad you dig the tones,
those are all done with my vintagy mesa boogie Mark IIb 60 watt head, pretty much loud,
but most of the captures are done with a palmer pdi-09, some are done with a direct mic.
i have a real hard time going back, listening, trying to tell which ones were mic and which were direct......
in solo mode, you can sometimes hear the 'room' sound, that's the giveaway..
with a 57 close on the edge of the speaker,
it'a almost identical to the palmer
Bit of a hint of Leppard around the vocals. Sounds great on headphones. Like it
Sounds killer, man. Tim nailed it with the Ratt or Crue feel. Very "sleazy" in a good way. I think the kick and snare could be a little hotter, but it works as is. The vocal harmony part in the middle was cool, had a 70's vibe to it. Nice guitar work from a fellow player. What are your main axes?
I hadn't heard of the Palmer before. So it's not just a direct box, but a speaker simulator as well? Can the speaker simulator function be defeated?
Les Paul on the track?
Nice piece of kit!
