See you in a Better World....

I think the gentle style of the vox in the first section suits your voice very well and the contrast with the wild guitars happening at the same time is really good. Drumming's hot but have to say the thicker tone might be good. This track's got some of your best guitar playing IMO.

Great Song man, really good feel to it. I love the drums, really excellent rolls. I also love the Ride. I personally would bring the guitars and the vocals up a bit. You vox is a tiny bit buried, when i listen at low volumes i can barely hear them and the guitars. Another great tune though. Just a little bit of tweaking will go a long way.

RAMI,

I really like the song and the production! :D

I just browsed through your site and as soon as I get some spare cash (I owe a friend $500 lol) I am buying your album ;)

I also used to have a site using the same host you've got for your website. When my band broke up we closed the site down. I found it extremley suitable and easy to use :D
 
Thanx guys.
Well, I woke up this morning (which is always at least a little surprising) and did a re-mix. I took everyone's advice and agree with most of it now that I listen with fresh ears.
I put a bit of thickness back in the drums, brought up the guitars a bit, brought up the verse vocals, and tried to get a bit more balls out of the bass.
Thanx again everyone. Your advice is very valuable.
BETTER WORLD
 
I repositioned my speakers a little further away from me, and turned it up pretty loud, and I can make out what you are saying just fine. I overwrote the previous file when I DL'd the new one, so I can't compare, to see if speaker position was the culprit, and it was simply at my end. Sorry man... :o My speakers may heve been just close enough to me that it was making the sounds unclear. (since I was the only one that had this issue, I'm guessing glitch here..not there. ) Did you do much to the drums? They seem a bit bigger now? (More depth). Anyway, cool tune as always, and it sounds very clean now man.... :cool:

Thanx alot, Dog. Actually, you weren't the only one that mentioned the vocals abit low, especially in the verses. And it would still be important to know if the vocals weren't audible no matter where the speakers were. You got me to work on it more which is a good thing. I really appreciate your input on it.
I did make the drums a little bigger. I was cutting too much under 250hz. I brought some of it back in. True and Tim both suggested the drums might be better with some more of their natural thickness, and they were right.

Sounds great!

I think this version is even better than the last.

Thanx alot NL...It's getting there. That's why I usually post my tunes pretty much after the first mix. I know I'm going to have to give it a few tries, so I might as well have as many ears as possible helping me from the beginning. Thanx alot! :)
 
I havent got much to say but.

Good work, great guitars.
Great poppy tune.

A big thumbs up :cool:
 
Cool man...Normally I wouldn't try and nit something so small, but with your stuff, It's all I got.... :D You never seem to have any real, upfront flaws in your music. Most of the time your vox are right there, in your face, and this one is just quiet...sort of threw me... :eek:

As stated, great tune as always man. If I had 10% of your talent, you fuckers would be hearing stuff from me every week... :D

Thanx alot, Nak.

Waiting to hear that classic-rock tune you were working on last week. And the flute jam, too. :cool:
 
Just checked out the latest version AFTER checking out the Storm video (nice flick - though I was hoping for a personal appearance by you).
I like the difference in vocals. Close mic'd confessional & step back for chorus declaration.
VERY VERY Good, good, good song. (translates to fabulous)
I still stand by my initial obs re the guitar - the dual attack of guitars when the rhythm git comes in has much more power - not as developed as the squalling lead then rhythm you have - just a personal preference.
You'll be up for another CD's worth by Christmas.

Thanx again for the listen Ray.

Actually, I'm in the video, but as you can see, he only had still pictures of me to work with. I think he did a genius job considering.
I ALMOST took your initial advice on the guitars for "Better World" after reading your first post about it. I can't disagree with you, but I get to play cool licks so rarely (cause I can't come up with that many good ones) that I HAD to leave it in just for me own satisfaction. :D

Thanx alot again for the comments and suggestions. :cool:
 
It is a cool lick Rami & you let rip right royally on this track.
From the vid people would assume you're a bassist, mainly a lefty but occasionally a righty.
It is an excellent piece of work matching images with lyrics & tempo with so few repeats is a real feat.
I did a mix of my latest with your recco of subtractive EQ only - it worked quite well almost the same result as the additive EQ. I was going to post it but figured putting the wash over it was actually adding EQ & would go against the principle so I've stored that mix in my priv & preferred folder - I have a CD of such mixes that includes the RAMI rad stereo mix of my last one - it worked such a treat.
Oh, back to this song - tree men dous.

It's true, I never thought of that. He does use a few shots of me on the drums, but it's mostly that picture of me playing bass that dominates. No problem. If I remember correctly, there's another left-handed bass player who did quite well for himself, so I'm in good company. :D :cool:
 
Sounds great.

RAMI when you make it big time can I be your roadie.
 
Great tune RAMI.....
- nice bass riff in the beginning, excellent tone and clarity
- the guitars are raunchy and set the tone nicely for this rock tune. You riffs are cool in this one...
- I saw the word "love" in the lyrics, so this is a love song by RAMI - cool :cool: I knew you had a sensitive side.... ;)
- the drums sound fabulous as always. I notice a nice level on your ride cymbal this cut (especially durin gthe bell sound). It's right there but not overbearing as it could be. Nice job on recording.
- Nice dual guitars, the one on the left playing more of that Richard's lead/rhythm I like.
- The tune itself is very well written. It has nice subtle verses then builds up to powerful chorus. The interlude back to the bass is a nice touch as well. I'm humming this to myself as I type......

:) :D :) :D
 
Cool tune, Rami.

:)

Vox still do not have enough definition up to 1:12... you might EQ them and cut some off the low end... then push them up a tad.

Sounds like a fun tune to play. You did a good job on this, in all aspects.

:)
