you dickhead... that's TWO threads I responded to...only to have you delete it... what the F is going on here?

when I calm down...I might say something musical....
 
Pretty cool song

I like the guitar sounds and synths...but I gotta say that kick sound is killing me. It sounds like a deep snare.

Cool unpredictable change.

The vox sound is alright but I can't comment on content, I can't make it all out.
 
sounds like a god damned bee in a paper bag...and I can't hear the vocals..

boy...that is a big ole bee!!:eek:

do you use a pick when you play gtr?:eek:


now now...actually...

this song has all the faults you had when you first started posting here.. low vocals, disconjuncted parts, ...

hey...but I like it... ;)

so...that's two nit pick posts...

delete this fucker too... go on... push the button.... hit it..

pussy whip....












I am sure glad I can fuck with your shit....you're probably high too...which makes it all the better... ya know.. that first morning joint.... miss the highway exit stuff.....
 
Your the best

If I didn't know you I would think your a dick,but I'm just feel sorry for you and this song soesn't help...Usual standard my brother...again I'm impressed and jealous.Holy fuck!I'v now listened to the song 15 times in a row and the only flaw is the vox could be a little louder(as usual).Great fuckin lyrics,opening verse is classic,Now I hate to ask you to step down and only play drums...thanx dickhead...Awsome changes...bang your head and welcome to the freakshow...outro classic Samicide style...another one for the top 10000000000000000000000000 list.Love that "your the best" part(Grin)...too muckin fuch
 
Cool intro-I can hear the L1 already-the volume is up there-was that the sound of the ebow-hitting the strings? Wow that is some subsonic guitar sweet-really thick and heavy. The vocal performance was excellent-sounds like your really giving it your all-really good-so uhh turn em up! maybe a touch more highs on the voc?? Wow into a sorta samba beat--craaaazy. What makes you decide where you're going when you make a drastic change like that?? out of curiousity...I wish I had something to complain about--but besides the vocal volume-this really kicks ass. You got your thing down-great job.
 
Damn man,This is a cool tune.Thats a low ass tuning you have on those guits eh?LOL.Sounds cool though.I like the lead guitar sound too.Sounds kinda like EVH in the beginning with the whammy stuff.The drums sound good.I cant crtique them anyways because I cant even capture a decent drum sound myself.....cool beat change......the vocals are audible and I can even undertand what you're saying.:DI think the vox are loud enough but maybe just need a little eq to place them a little better in the mix...but then again they sound about right for this sound you have.You do have your own sound ya know....it's a signature sound for sure......I like the vocal talk back in there that said "you're the best".LOL...Cool.Sounds good to me!

P.s. This thread is worth reading just for the Mixmkr's posts!:D:eek:

mannnnn... that was deep, thick, and dark mix. I could hear all the parts real well yet it was extremely full. In the beginning the whammy was apparent, but I was hearing a guitar that sounded kinda like it was thru a monster tube amp with some vibrato like an old Fender. It was cool. And a lot of crunch on the lead like you pre-heat that amp for a couple hrs, sound had a hot tube smell.. hehehe if that makes any damn sense.
 
In addition to the always great thick guitar sounds, there's a lot of other ambient things going on in this one. Very cool. Never heard you use a flanger before.

Nice screaming vox during the chorus. Liked the "landing on my head, not really a big loss" line.

You should try to double the vox sometime. Were the drums real? If not, what do you use (I'm looking for ideas to ?

Cool one.

My thougts... Triple nipple. :)
 
VERY nice clean sound with a distant solo sound. I love the intro. Whoa, you succeeded in that ...(trying to think a synonym to evil).. well, EVIL guitar-sound again :D Very nice sound. Kick sound too blocky. It has the kick and power, but not much low-end (at least I can't hear much).

Vocals are performed very well. It's just the mixing of them I don't like. And you seem to like to do them changes (like me too) on your songs. You do them more sudden, though :D You can surprise me with yours for sure. It's a trippy outro. I just can't make it fit into the first part that well. But, you seem to hate bridges, and it's your style so I'm not recommending you to add a bridge. It's your thing and it usually works too. I'm not sure if it worked now, but it sure sounds interesting (the way you jump from one mood to another so suddenly). So, the song has an intro, middle part and an outro, and they all sound completely different to each other. It sounds weird, but it kinda works. But still, *I* would have made some bridges :D
 
Love it! You got them vocals where I can make them out now, and their ~SMOKIN~ too! This is a much better mix than the first one I heard...great job bud!
 
Hey Sam,
.......cool, its still here!:)

......The Low end sounds better man...... ......there still seems to be an eq issue in there somewhere though. I kinda think alot of the problem might come from the low tuning....... there's alot of stuff down there. Re: the vocs....... You might have some good luck w/ a big mid cut on the lead v's. I hear the problem much more in the verse than in the Chorus. It seems pointed and harsh somewhere in the mids. .....I still dont care for the effects on them a whole bunch. ....they have a "hollow" sound to them.... maybe its intentional.....i dunno.... just mho. I dig the performance....... VERY strong Chorus. A little eq choppage might clear a little of the phased guit part at the beginning.

Cool song Sam........ verySamicide.


.........the vibe of this song makes me feel ....nervous....

All I can say Sam is you are a fuckin spigot of hits!

The intro is refreshing and the extreme bent harmonics are sweet!
(How did ya do 'em?) Pitch shifter, or are you also a whammy master?

Love the tremolo/crunchy background git at the beginning.
Vox are "The Best" ;)

Listening as I write.............WTF
This tune just went into Sammyland.................
Ahhhh....The outro.

Another fine job Sam.
Your ability to kick them out so consistently is worth props alone.
If I get over to L.I. I gotta burn one with ya.
(I need all the help I can get!) :D :D

If you could put a couple of quotes in a pickle jar...these would be the ones that would apply the most in the 'ij' situation.. the "hole situation"....

you're one fuckin' hell of a plumber....ya know that dude!!?
 
Sounds cool from here!

Man,that's got to be the deepest sounding rythm guitar Iv'e ever heard,some real meat there!

Vocals sounded great as always.
Nice writing and production,I really dug it.

Fine work,those new toys sound great.

Have a great holiday Sam!

Opening this one up in Wavelab to listen with some visual aid. I've read a few posts and it appears there's a monster lurking in the depths of this one. Let's see what he looks like...


Vocals are peaking at 670Hz...(upper mids). Guitars are really pushing the limits of 80Hz as well.
That's quite a deep sounding snare...just noticed it's banging at 170Hz...which is like a normal open "E" I think. Maybe could use a high boost on that if possible, as it's sort of embedding itself in the gits.
You've got plenty of high end here...it's just hard to hear through the lows. And I like the guitar sound a lot, but like you're hearing from most everyone else, there's just too much activity down there....we need to find a compromise.

OK enough EQ talk....

I dig the music a lot. That intro has some nice effects use...nice because the playing behind it is sensibly creative.
Vocals are inconsistant level-wise...sort of like the last tune.
"...tired and hungry..." at 1:40 ish sounds awesome....nice delivery! That's where I think a lot of the vocal level should be too.
I think the instruments are all at good levels, but sometimes I wish you'd let me mix your vocals. :) Your performance is fine, but it disappears... probably because you know the parts and we don't.

If I hear anything else I'll send you a PM. This is of course great stuff brothah! I just figured you'd want a ripping. And I could be all wrong! Still learning this shit like everyone else.

Don't worry...my next post will be up in a few days...and it is going to be VERY rippable! :eek:



If you delete this thread I'm going to fucking kill you....or I'll just never respond to your threads again. :)


:mad:
 
Criticism first ;) (It won't take too long, the list is short :p ):

The heavy and bright kick is TOO bright, kinda annoying. If you can, take a little of the crispness away from the kick drum (maybe a little more like the kick used in the slow part at the end).

NO BASS LINE!! Again, you 'cheesed' out ( :rolleyes: ) and opted to play the root guitar notes an octave lower. I could basically ignore there was even an attmept to incorporate a bass at all and just focus on the drums, vox, and guitars. No I will not let you down until I hear something FUNKY coming from my speakers with your name on it! :p

Okay, with that being said, there is a ton of really good stuff happening. First, the vocals are right on for 90% of it (there were a few 'whoopsies', but nothing worth retracking). I like how you have that pseudo-haunting-ozzie thing going on. I liked the theme, I know exactly what you mean :D. (thank god those daze are over for me ;) )

The drum part worked here, could have used a fill here or there, but it's not necessary (in this case I think less is more, and works).

Your guitar playing is at times brilliant. I really like the harder styles when it's actually 'played'. You definitely challenge yourself when coming up with licks (those harmonic pulls at the beginning are VERY tough)... definitely need to pull some of that creativity towards those bass parts if you can do THAT with an electric.

You got that fat-end crunch guitar working well too, love how the song kicks in.

Can't say enough about the little piece tacked on the end, but SCHWEET. Exactly what was needed. Good sense of balance demonstrated in adding that.

I troll looking for really back tracks but still haven't found one in some time... almost saddens me... almost... ;)
