Nice chops! I've always dug that tune.

Bass seems to need more clarity in the mix, sound kind of muddy. The snare might need some more definition, hmmm maybe hi hat need's a slight cut in volume.

One of the regulars here can probably listen to this and tell you exactly where to do a low end eq cut. But I'd at least expirement with some low end eq on this.
 
Hev man, you're bad to the bone dude! That's some rockin' guitar. What fx are you using on that bass? Did you run it straight or what? That's the only thing I could hear that could use a little tweekin. Good job man.

Thanks Guys

this is the remix (Same Link)
I EQed bass and centered it in the stereo field

EQed drums for slight high roll-off

2:1 compression for guitar

Drums and guit are offset to L & R

You tell me???????

Dan:)
 
Shoot, takes some balls to cover this one!

You pulled it off damn well. And I think the eq balance is probably the best I've heard from you so far. Still a touch low and high heavy, but getting closer to where I like it. You got those monitors yet, or was this another headphones job?

I'd like to maybe hear a little more variation in the drum part, but not much else to critique on this one.

I agree with Groucho - that's some real stones, brother!! I agree the His and Lows are most prominent - lows really boomed in my cans - but it has a real live vibe to it for my ears.

And the tone, man - it's the heat!

I tip my hat to anyone who can pull off a Stevie cut!! Hell I can't even play that stuff slow!

Awesome chops, man!

groucho - Yes I finally did get the studio monitors
Edirol MA-10D's not the best, but a vast improvement.:)
I just have to learn to use them now:confused:

MC - I appreciate what you are saying but I'm a big fan of the bluegrass feel your getting. It is more difficult to get a classy b/g sound than it is to go nuts on the electric IMO:)
 
nice playing! I guess this is the remix.. guitars have a scratchy sound to them and there's some timing things hear and there.. are you playing the drums on a keyboard or something? cool listen.. nice chopij.
 
Nice chops. The gtrs do sound scratchy. You definantly got the SRV soul.... Sounds like too much reverb in the overall mix. I think the delay may be causeing your timing issues to a certain degree.
Sounds like you had a lot of fun though.

HevyD47Ca: HI, CAN YOU PUT THIS ON NOWHERERADIO? IT TAKES FOREVER ON MY COMPUTER TO OPEN THIS LINK. I WOULD SURE LIKE TO HEAR IT. WALTER
 
Cool song! Hey I've been meaning to ask you, are you any relation to the "other" Heavy D?

Stevie Ray? Wow!!!:eek:
 
this is one of my favorite SRV listens. very Good job. Would be smokin in a club...
 
Ok. Talent. CHECK. Chops. CHECK. Musicianship. CHECK!! Check, please :D

Some boominess here... bass is low, but slugging it out w/the ambient kick drum. Snare drum has a bit too much "bottom", too.

8kHz boost there on the cymbals? A little much maybe. A general "sckrrrch" tone to the rest of the mix (too much around 3k-5k)...

Just some tightening in the EQ, tha's all...

Nice cover!!

You're not playing the riff right - not that it matters. Good job of mocking it, but not dead on.

The rhythm section (programmed I guess?) doesn't move right - the groove isn't there. The drums especially are choppy sounding. They need a more human, groovy feel.

Not to be critical - you're a good player, but when you attempt to pay homage to a master, you have to know you're going to get some critical feedback.

I've heard many guys try to cop that riff - some get close, but I have yet to hear anyone who plays it right (including myself).

I wouldn't worry about doing the riff note for note, but I would look at redoing the rhythm section and trying to humanize it a bit.

Good work though. Keep it up.
 
Did you MIDI the bass and drums?

What software did you use?
 
espskully - Very sound advice for a newbie:D
I don't ever worry about getting things note for note.
I know I couldn't anyway.
I will work on that drum track, it's too "programmed"

guitarjesus - The drums are programmed and the bass is real.
For drums I use the drum editor in Sonar 2 and add soundfonts.

Thanks for the FB everyone!
 
Hevy - I'm with you - it's the vibe that counts. I never really play anyone's stuff note for note (I can't play Scuttlebuttin' worth a shit anyway).

Drums are a hard thing to program - I'm getting better but it takes a lot of work. Big pain in the ass if you ask me. Do you have a quantize feature in your software? I wish I had a drummer under hypnosis that I could keep locked in a room until I need him to track. But then don't we all?

Anyway - like I said - I don't mean to be critical. I like your playing.

Keep up the good work and post some more stuff when you're ready. I'm a big blues fan.

Cheerz...
