Song I rerecorded

[Mr Blues]

Here is one of my songs I rerecorded with a guitarist friend M. James. We recorded it in his studio.

not too shabby brother. Sounds good to me

 

[Mr Blues]

Thanks Foulphil.

Nice song. Sounds pretty good in headphone but I think the vocals could use a bit of work on the "sssses". Don't care much for de-essers since they always seem to effect the overall sound of the vocal track; therefore I'd suggest volume automate on the "sssses" to tame them

 

[Bulls Hit]

Really good tune. That kind of acoustic guitar always reminds me of Dust in the Wind. Vocals are great. Seems to be some upper mids distortion in the vocal which is distracting

Guitars sound good. The lead guitar could stand to be seperated a little more. Maybe EQ some more highs in there to make them stand out a bit more. Is the rhythm panned to the Left? I'd center it a bit more or all the way, just an opinion.

Vocals are good, they sound like they may have been squashed in the mid range, I don't know what was done to them, but there is something a little weird.

Things sound real nice. Good playing and singing.

I think the voice dominates the guitars a little. Turn it down 2-3 dbs and it'd probably sit perfect.

The guitar on the left is stronger than the guitar on the right. So the mix is a little unbalanced. Not bad though.

I hear crackles at spots here and there. Mouth crackles when you start to sing.

I think the big reverb makes the mix sound dated. It sounds nice and there wouldn't be any harm at all in leaving where it is. But a modern mix would probably have a shorter decay and a dryer mix. Just thought I'd mention it.

Thanks for all your tips guys, I really appriciate your comments.

The song was played well. Sounds fine to me. Maybe a little adjustments here and there but nothing drastic.

I would agree that the vox need a bit of work. It is a little sharp / bright sounding. It has an edge that could be smoothed out. I would agree with pulling the reverb tails back some. Kind of reminds me of a Gordon Lightfoot vibe. Pull up 'Beautiful' on iTunes and give the vocal a listen. Dated with a 70's sound overall, but the vocal / acoustic guitar mix is golden. Nice guitar work! Very pretty tune overall. You are almost there!
