Ok, don't know what to call the genre, maybe just shit.
Here it is. 100 More Days.


Trying to get it mixed better. Eq, compression and such. Hide the vocals maybe?

Ed :eek:
 
Wow, big problems. The singing is in the key of spun. The guitars are too loud in the room and it's killing EVERYTHING.


You need to get the concept across to these guys that you need to make them sound loud in the mix and that can't happen if they are so loud that the room becomes the main instrument.

Thanks jake-owa. Does everything need to come down a bit, or just the guitars? Drums sound weird to me, but I don't know what to do with them And the "singing" is me, and I can't sing. Just didn't want to post an instrumental, so I tried the vocals. I will try and do some different vocals when i get more time, and see what I can do about the guitars.

It's interesting. Weird guitar sound. Vocals are, well, different. Now the slow part. Kinda neat.

Mix is pretty bad. Try and fix some of the eq issues. Want me to do a guitar part? I'll try if you send me what you did.

Promising

It is a little overwhelming... I'd like to hear the revamp, once it happens...
 
New Mix..

Remixed some of the parts I thought I had the ability to. Any more suggestions? Re-track? Throw it out?



I will retrack the vocals when I get some time.
Thanks.

The vocal ran my kid out of my room! :D

I'd retrack and turn down the guitars a bit. Mic it closer to the cab...

Nice rework, but it's still a bit too much of the room in the mix...

Thanks for the listen. Won't let me give any rep to anyone, so all I can do is say thanks for now.

Just tell your kid be good, or she has to listen to it 10 times. She will be an angel after that. I spent all of 2 days writing recording and "mixing" this, so it is rough, but since I don't know what I am really doing, it's all a learning thing right now. I might spend some more time on it, as the lyrics are cheezy, but only took 20 minutes to write.

I might even try and find a better direction for the vocals.

wow, i love extreme sounds !
the guitars, NICE man !
of course, this isn't really mainstream music,
you could keep these sounds maybe but pan them a little more to the center,
the guitar on the right is a bit too much on the right,
the guitars sound "seperate" , not as a complete song....
can you push the volume of the kick a bit up?
i think a hard beating kick might help this song to give it more soul

and about the singing, man, its better than me,
but since its not elvis presley singing i'd bring the volume a bit down in the mix,
its cool that you got accoustic guitars in the middle of the song,
but OR you turn the drums and bass a bit more up,
or the guitar a bit down...just what i think...

the composition is a bit weird, but like i said, i really like experimental stuff,

sorry, right now the vocals even make me laugh...but its a nice try though !!
ehm,
what about putting some distortion on some parts of the voice? to make it even crazyer, but NOT all the time,
like where you sing about the devil, a little telephone voice with distortion on it....

mhh, in the end, when the guitar sgo from left to right, thats a bit abrdrupt,really sounds like cutting and pasting..
maybe u can fix that by panning less extreem left and right,
and running all those instruments trough the same reverb, but don't put lots of reverb on it, just enough to hardly notice it...might help to make it sound like one part...
or run it all trough the same compressor, with soft "settings"

this music is fun !!
you got more?

i definately want to hear more !!

and yeah, if you want to describe this music,
the word GARAGE must be used i think, its got this kinda "underground garage industrial" edge, and i like that...i wouldn't really buy this song if u'd try to sell it as a single, but its inspiring, and thats ALOT better than most boring songs out there

rockon

(ps, this is all about the first mix....just donlwoaded mix2)

..edit,
i really think the vox were better on mix1...
don't try to sing TOO low...and it sounded cleaner with only one vocal take, not with two layers....

and i found the other music on the site...enjoying it now
 
Nice review earworm. I appreciate it. First off, the stuff at the end was cut and pasted, just because this started out as an instrumental that was way weirder than this song you heard turned out to be. I put vocals on it at the last minute, just because I hadn't done an original in a while with vocs. I don't do anything mainstream, mainly because I suck, and love to have fun. So, good call on everything in your review. Much appreciated.

Vocals were one take, and I had no idea of how to even try and get them down, so I basically screamed in into the mic, and left it there. I will probably try a bit harder to make this a song, when I get time. I really am glad you and the others have given me some direction on sound, and will see if I can accomplish this.

Thanks again.
Ed
 
It's definitely a creative composition...lots of instrument and mood changes. The vocals....well...I'm no better.
The slide guitar is really cool...maybe a little more mids to add some body?
 
the whole thing is nasty wet. Can't you bring up the kick and snare? If they are a bit dry then maybe the whole mix will sound a bit more direct...

I like the track =)
 
Thanks for the listen guys. I just re-tracked the vocals, and am starting to try a different mix, so I'll post it, and maybe you can see if it's any better.

Appreciate the feedback.

Hey wait !!!

look at your first posts title. If your going after a new genre called "southern fried stoner garage rock", you've nailed it I think. Of course in order to know I need to smoke up first.

But, I'd keep it the way it is. Its cool, and matches your description perfectely. Maybe you'll start a new movement that will challenge the "seattle" sound or whatever.

No one Important, liked the production/vocals/guitar sounds of that (seattle), except for the millions buying the records. I like your vision, and your out of the box thinking. sometimes Less IS more, and you got the vibe down brother.

stay different
 
mabey a little less reverb and overdrive on the guitars so they do fit better into the mix ?
i think it will ad some xtra balls to the song IMO

The rest i like great vox

Thanks man. I won't say I was trying to specificly do anythig drastically different, but when you are lacking talent like I do, it just happens. :D

Thanks for the listen, and encouragement. I mainly have fun, but needed to post this, as it turned out to be something weird, but I liked it anyway.

Thanks, werners. I've been playing with the guitars, and the mix in general, and maybe I can get some stuff fixed, and repost it.

Final try...For a while....

Ok, tried to do what was suggested, to the best of my abilities. May have screwed it up worse, or maybe not. You tell me. Tried to make the kick a bit better, and subdue the guitars somewhat. Re-tracked the vocals, but since I still suck, so do they. :eek:



Thanks again.
