I recently got a new mic, preamp and soundcard. This is a collab I did, and would appreciate some constructive criticism on it. I need some help, and would appreciate it.

Thanks.
Ed :confused:

I think you need to fix the link...


EDIT: They can get it from the box above, I fixed it there.

Thanks Rokket. Don't know why mine left the space in the link. Pretty weird. Works now.
Thanks.

That's ok, I don't think I am suffering from a low rep! ;)

Definitely not!! but, it keeps saying that, even though I love everyone who helps me. Oh well, guess it doesn't really impact life too much. Thanks again for the help.
Ed :cool:

Yeah, I'll give you a listen when I get home. Can't crank it a work, the boss gives me the Eeeviiiillll eye when I do...
 
Boss..? Is he like Dilberts boss? All pointy haired and all? Probably not. I don't think the military would go for that. But pointy hair is soooo cooool!!!

No, but he's twice as mean.... :D
 
I'm listening now. It's an interesting take on a classic... The guitars are a bit thin, but overall, nice playing....

One more thing, when it goes back into the main melody at about 4:20 or so, it's a bit of a rough transition...
 
Thanks for the input. I'll see if the guitars can be fixed. May just have to be re-recorded to fix the transition and all.

Low end sounds good here...maybe too much, actually, but it sounds big. The guitars could have some more meat in them for my taste...they sound kinda' over-gained and midscooped, but you know, Sabbath had some of the nastiest sounding guitars ever recorded, lol. They were pretty much making it up as they went.

The biggest issue I hear mixwise is the low vocal. I know what the singer is saying ONLY b/c I'm familiar with the song. Yeah, the vocal needs to pop out a bit better.

Taste issue...the solo sounds like it's got a fake roomverb on it...the tone's not bad, but it's got that POD/Amplitubey sound that lacks depth, with too much verb on it to make up for it.

Okay, the more I listen, the more I'm thinking this might be too heavy in the low mids all the way across the board. Try notching some stuff at 315Hz and see if the vocal and the guitars don't instantly become more prominent.

Be well,
Chris
 
The music rocks and the singing singing sucks.

The recording quality was generally good. Get a new singer, and you'd have something really great. ;)

Thanks for the info. Hopefully I can work on some of this over the weekend.
Ed :rolleyes:

Thanks man. I'd love to find a new singer, but around here, noone else will even try, so I get to do it. Any suggestions on at least getting what little voice I have left any better? :D

Probably screwed in that department, but I will try and fix it.
Thanks,
Ed
 
What's up with someone giving me neg rep on this? I may suck, but someone blows. They signed it gravity.

Carlito says, that's just not cool.
 
Gravity is regebro, a well known kook and agitator.

Don't sweat it.

Uh, the voice? Try,... uh,... singing instead of belching. Work on range and melody,... delivery. E'thing doesn't have to be a growl.

The song's way cool, though! Production value & playing is very good! ;)

It's amazing how hard it is to use your voice.
Thanks for the tips. I will continue working on it, but everyone here may die of old age before I improve much. Thanks for some constructive criticism though. I need it.
Ed :D
