Thanks TR! What started as just playing around on guitar and bass turned into something serious.Oh yeah, for the most part, I was impressed with what you put together. You had me with Golden Slumbers. Good job on the harmony vocals. The one crunch guitar seems way overdriven, just too gnarly compared to the other stuff.
Man those guys have some vocal range, don't they? It's too high for me, and doesn't work if I try to drop a step.
Thanks man! I’ll listen to your latest track after a nap lol.
Sounds awesome great work man
The Orchestra and drums were done by two different people (not me). Orchestra was MIDI, drums, I don’t know how he miced them.wow, very cool...how did you do the orchestra and drums ? Guitars sound great!
You got the idea - the songs kind of fall apart as it progresses - and the orchestral parts are hurt by using midi.Roughly 40 tracks in total!
Vocals - 10 tracks
Guitar - 8 tracks
Bass - 1 track
Orchestra - 8 tracks
Drums - 8 tracks
Piano - 1 tracks.
I think it’s my best production yet!
Can you explain what you mean by fall apart?You got the idea - the songs kind of fall apart as it progresses - and the orchestral parts are hurt by using midi.
This is great. Please accept my comments in the way they are intendended and not meant to be critical in any way. The crash cymbal is too loud and needs to be taken down. Your lead vocal needs to sit back a little bit further back in the mix and the backing vocal track needs to brought up. Sorry please do not think I am being too crititical, I love your work mateRoughly 40 tracks in total!

Not at all! That’s feedback I can work with. Thanks!This is great. Please accept my comments in the way they are intendended and not meant to be critical in any way.

I think it is brilliant, just take the crash cymbal back a bit and take the lead vocal back a little and bring up the backing vocal track in the mix and you have it !Not at all! That’s feedback I can work with. Thanks!
Thanks Rob! Yeah, not much I can do with the orchestra and piano, as I wasn’t the person who recorded those, and god knows those guys are better at me in that regard, anyway.I quite like it - I'm not good with guitars and drums, but I sort of understand what papinate says about the orchestra - but the fault is NOT MIDI - MIDI always gets the blame for everything when that's like saying it's English that is at fault for a dull novel.
The things here I notice are lack of individual note velocities - very obvious in the pianio near the end - every note is identical and it seems quantised compared to a real player, and it's rather an unconvincing sound? For me - the strings are a sort of synth string wash. No evidence at all of articulation, bowing or ensemble - sort of play a chord, record it, done. There are loads of excellent, and some even free, strings nowadays. Listen to a Beatles recording with strings. You can have a guess as to how many violins there were, or how many cellos - and hear what they are playing and follow the lines. Yours are just a string patch playing block chords. Real strings might have first and second violins playing close together pitch wise, then the violas below them - which sound different. Then the cellos lower down still - three different tones. This is the giveaway for me. It's perectly fine as a 'sound' - but not real. Nothing to do with MIDI. Everything to do with what library you have and how you use it.
Your voice has decent style to it, and I certainly might tweak the occasional pitch - but it's really pretty good, I thought.
The rhythm parts are drifting.Can you explain what you mean by fall apart?
Can you explain where? Nobody else has said this (Rob even said the piano sound quantised, so I assume the piano is out of the equation). I don’t hear it myself. Everything was also played along to a backing track that was locked in time.The rhythm parts are drifting.
