Second Coming/Ballad Dwight Frye

[BushmasterM4]

This is a great Cooper song. Its a rough mix. I need to eq it a little. Hi-hats and some parts are too harsh. They were ok on my monitors but I didnt get a chance to try it on other players. Plus I want to redo the vocals. I did a few takes and left them. But its almost there. Anybody chime in on what it needs. I getting my piano chops down. Kind of fun. Fire away people. Its at my soundclick site. "Second Coming/Dwight Frye"

What no critics or Cooper fans? Cmon its Holloween. I listened to it on my pc and alot of the Orchestra parts dont cut through. It was late when I posted and I listened with phones on my pc and the cymbals sounded harsh. But on pc speakers they sound fine. I got some Sony phones that cost in the $70 range and I hate them. I use them for games and I forgot they suck.

Redid the mix. Some of the keyboard stuff wasnt coming through. Also redid the eq and vocals. Well best I could on the vocals. Cool tune

I got a post on another forum (Raw Material). And the reply was that the instruments were to loud. I asked which ones in particular and he (or she) didnt reply . Any of the synth sounds seem too loud? I know the Bass is, but the song is driven by the Bass. Anyway the guy said my version is to complicated compared to the original. I like all the sounds I put in. Also said I have no soul. :0. My wife says that alot. Also does it need more high end? I played the thing on my home theatre system and I think it needs more. But it may be the reciever. Gonna try a walkman.

Redid again. Vocals are what they are. I cant get no better singing. I lowered some of the tracks (orchestra tracks). They were too loud. MP3 conversion can sometimes cause problems and it did. Got it fixed as best I could. Sounds better now. I seem to be talking to myself .
