Rip it Down

at 1.47 as i write this, the mix itself is tight nice kit sound maybe a touch of reverb on the snare and open up the compressor on the snare to let it breathe to darken it and give it a little more of an anthemic sound,, other than that the only gripe i got is the vocals and the lead guitar tone, the vocal because it's production lets the whole song down it needs to be tighter lose the reverb on it only use it to blend it with the rest of the mix get the vocal up close and personal the thin to thick is a nice touch but use it sparingly a track like this needs the vocal cutting through. As for the lead guitar it sounds too thin add some low end ,mid boost and or compress it to warm it up, other than that the mix itself is tight and album worthy in my opinion. keep it up
 
thanks for your input...

I generally agree with your observations/suggestions...

Good job...

I´m linstening on simple speakers, only will come home (and monitors) next week...
Despite is almost impossible a deeply technical comment at this condictions, I have to say that is a well recorded, well playin´/singin´song.I like guitar job and vocals.

I think you could try few dbs (+) on drums (general)... and try to put the drums (midi drum, am I right?) on the same "room" of stereo guitars and vox, if possible (booth seems more "on face" than drums) (or even the contrary,if you prefer, using more verb on VOX/GTR, who knows...)

For while, are my comments, hope that helps a little.

thanks for you comments ciro,

no... real drummer

I intend the have the guitar and vocal (verse) more up front.

I'll definitely give your comments some thought.

I have gone round-abouts on the vocal...
 
Well, if is a real drummer... congratulations. Well recorded and very well played.
 
haha what was that spray sound? I have some 5.1 speakers and I really thought someone sprayed something. But seriously this song is pretty good. Just work on that snare and maybe add some more punch to the kick.And I think everything has to be turned up so it can blend in the vocals, they seem to stand out a LITTLE bit. You should redo your first solo, I can hear you mess up a little bit.
 
Cool Tune

From the headphones here at work, the instruments sound great. The vocal sounds like it is distorting the mic a bit, also the vocals are a bit too dry for this song to me... just a tad more verb to set them in the mix, but not too much.

Great Job!

In the earbuds it sounds pretty good. I have to agree that the vocals are a bit dry and a little out in front. However, the music is nice and tight :cool: .
 
thanks for all your input...

I probably should have stated, this is not me, it's a band I'm recording.

I'm still not sure what to do with the vocal. I'm not up for just adding reverb or pulling it down. It's sitting pretty much where I want it, on top, but there's more to do. Just no sure what.

the vocal is distorted during the Chorus lines. If there's other distortion please point me to it... I've missed.
 
Vocals are a bit upfront but only a very little bit.
I like the song & the recording is pretty good.
Don't like the guitar tones - too generic (there I go again).
The melody is very good.
