I love that lead tone at the beginning, and that rhythm guitar sounds sweet too.
 
Very well done sir. Has a very classic sound to it. I would dirty up the vocals a bit on the verses.

Thanx man. I'm not a guitar player, so it's always a relief to know my tones don't suck. :eek:

Thanx Elton. Good idea on the vocals. Anything I can do to disguise my voice is worth trying. :eek:
 
I'm callin bullshit. Voice is fine sir. Always enjoy listening to your stuff. Really like the guitars here. Well done.

I appreciate that, but I wasn't laying on the false modesty. I personally have trouble listening to my voice sing lead vocals. I have no problem listening to my back-up vocals and harmonies for some reason. But it's a rare song that I can turn up the lead vocals to what everyone else would consider a good volume and say "I nailed that tune". I always want to turn them down lest I cringe. :eek:

right on, totally get that.
 
I know this thread is 4 pages dead, but I didn't want to start a new thread either.

I bought new skins a couple of weeks ago, after doing this tune, and I just re-tracked the drums for this today. First drum track I do in this "new" room.

I won't get insulted if nobody responds to this. I already got a lot of help on it. I just wanted to post the new version because I think I got the drums kicking now.

INDIAN SUMMER
 
Yeah, new drums are cool.
There's a little bit of Copperhead Rd in the intro.
Good snare level on this mix.
I look forward to the new album.
How's the cover band going?
I reckon you should start a new cover band covering RAMI tunes.
 
Drums are spot on! Great work. Snare is cracking perfectly. Kick has a great balance of lows and slap. Toms are nice and ringy. And, I know the new skins don't affect this, but the HH sounds awesome.

I wrote a song years ago called Indian Summer, U2 has one, Pedro the Lion has one, Brooks and Dunn, Sinatra, The Doors, and now Rami (maybe my favorite of them all).

Thanx Ray.

No more cover band. I've done it for way too long to still enjoy it. The last band I was in was just way too painful to continue. I literally would have trouble sleeping the night before a gig because I was dreading it so much. But I'd be down with starting a RAMI cover band. :D

I listened again tonight. I liked the song as much as before, but tonight I noticed the drums and I'm thinking if there was one thing that could afford to impinge ever so slightly on this tune, if there was one forgivable sin, it would be making the drums louder. It's a great tune as is, but the drums are too polite. I'll still like it even if the listener never has to pay slightly more attention (because of the drums) to pick out what the vocal's singing. I'll still like it and still forgive Rami. But they should be louder. They should be rock drums.

Thanx man. I haven't listened to this in about 2 weeks., so I'll give it a fresh listen and see if I agree. I hope I do because I love turning up the drums. :D
 
Nice Work with the guitars. Snare too thin. I think "fattening" it up a little would make it sound better. Also kick drum is too sharp. Maybe a little boost at the low end will make it sound better?

Good advice. I'll go back and see if I cut too much low's from the snare. I can bring up the low end on the kik no problem.

Thanx a lot.
