You need to get Greg, Carl to play theire bits, and then the show will never end.

Very nice, kinda remind me of Fanfare of a coomon man in a weird way:)

I allways dig your stuff man, your my hero having played with Yes and all:D
 
I don't have any useful mix type comments to offer , but I can tell you that it came across as very rich and full sounding with lots of energy.
Sounded Good!
 
The first few seconds had a nice ELP feel. After that, I really think you need to pay attention to the bass (not that I'm biased or anything). It needs more complexity, with a nice dose of counterpoint. Think of it like a continuo. Right now, with that galloping-style bass on the tonics of the chords, it sounds like you're trying to be the Yngwie of violin.

So, in summary and in conclusion, use the bass line to build tension, rather than just a programmed vamp.
 
Thanks for listening Eck, Naka, RocknRoll, MSH.:cool:

Was it you I was speaking to a while back about your record deal?
If so, hows it going?

Going good. I managed to get another one with a big label.:)

The mix seems to be lacking low end. Id bring up the bass track a good whack,

Thanks.:cool: I suspected that and already corrected it. I revised this track quite a bit.

Thanks. I will consider that. Right now, I dont think the bass is coming through enough. It's probably more complex than you might think. The revisions mean lots more stuff competing for space.

Yeah, I just listened to this posted version. The new version is way different, lots of new parts. I will be curious if you still think the bass is too simplistic with all the new stuff.
 
Wow! That was a very invigorating song you have there. No tips that I can add, it seems quite complete musically.
I was listening on my headphones and I was imagining a crazy haunted calliope that was playing on the brink of self destruction---of course I do have a pretty warped imagination though.....Great stuff there--David K!
 
very cool

just noticed the highs were a tad abrasive

although.. you could play this out of a victrola and id still like it :D
 
Sounds cool David. A bit of a TSO vibe with the rhythm section. Nothing really stands out as needing to be different.
 
Very nice. Gonna be great with real violin.

You must, like, practice and stuff.:p
