I liked the song and the recording. In the beginning the voice is a little hesitant sometimes, it goes away when the arrangement gets filled. The fade out was a little long for my taste.
Nice work. Cheers, Andrés
 
Not much that I can add here that hasn't been mentioned already except that though the bass tone was good I thought it was a bit too up-front.

Did I detect some Beatle influence in there? ;)

:cool:
 
Don't like your voice????

Dude, what's up! Your voice has a great quality to it and it totally works on this piece, and I like the harmony you have going on.

I like the bass-line but kind of agree with Brane that it may be a little bit too out front.

Strange because I couldn't make out if you were going for a country or pop feel to this. It kind of had a bit of both, and at the same time, I actually detected a bit of Dramarama in there (strange since none of there stuff really has this style, I think it was just your style of guitar playing especially during the fade). I like the rhythms you were using on the drums, but the actual sound of them didn't really fit the tune. Maybe there was too much verb on them :confused: But this is just minor :)

Very nice overall, and don't fret about the vocals! :)
 
I love this tune. This to me is so 70's rock sounding (that's a good thing at my age) right down to the lead guitar tone, reverb & vocal sounds. This sounds like it would one of those cool tunes I would have found on some album that I bought for some other song. One of those I would have sung along with and thought was a good find on the album. Good stuff.

I don't have any mix comments. It all sounds good to me on the computer speakers. The only thing I could mention is that although I actually like your voice quite a lot on this song, there were some spots it got a little loose. If you could tighten it up a little bit it would be even better. Drum sounds sound OK to me, but then again, I am stuck using midi. I haven't even made it up to loops yet. Maybe when I get my new copy of Sonar up and running I can catch up to what you're doing :D

Nice job. This goes to the keepers folder. I love the little bit different vibe on this. Maaannnn...I'm tripping back to the 70's. :D
 
Pedullist - On the vocals, I think after I tighten up some of the loose ends that I may be ok with them. :D


cordura21 - Yes the vocals are kinda weak in several spots and I will have to redo them. Thanks for the listen and comments!


M.Brane - Thanks for the comments! Alot of Beatles influence in my stuff! I do hear the bass as too up front, do you have any suggestions? Will just backing off the bass a bit work?


boydrj - The drums to me sound no better than a drum machine which I try like hell to avoid.. Any suggestions on the bass? Country or Pop? I don't know what I was going for it just kinda happened I have influences in both types of music so it could have come frome anywhere!

Jagular - Glad you liked it! See, I go with loops because MIDI is out of my realm of comprehention. :D


Thanks everyone for listening!

Scott,
Great to hear your stuff. I regularly listen to "My Imagination". Love it. It's on my personal "Home Recording Complication CD".
Click to expand...


Glad you liked it! I almost sent that in as my Comp Submission but I went with a different on at the last minute.
 
that's a good song and a pretty good mix....the only thing I noticed that the kick was maybe a bit "muddier" than I'd have it. Yes, you could afford to mix it a bit fatter, coz your bass sound is not that "low" in this song, but i'd still give the kick a bit more "klick".....overall, I liked the job, great work
 
Sen - I am going to remix it and fatten up the acoustic. Thanks for the listen!
 
Great tune!

I noticed a couple of things, small as they are!

One is that the kick seems a little over-saturated, I noticed it especially in the double hat / kick combos (at approx. 1:05). the first two seems distorted.

Another is this tune lends itself to a tamborine big time! Might want to use that opposing a ride bell in the chorus. Also may want to use the tambo to a lesser extent in the verses with a hat pattern instead of the ride cym.

There you go! It is a fun tune. The more I listen, the more I like.
