the song remninds me of something the "grinch's" evil bastard brother might sing ....lol..
There it is! That's the best comparison I've heard so far.
Thanks a lot dudes. I'm gonna do some more serious efforts next, but this was a good exercise. I'm thinking I might like to do a Halloween album someday soon. How fun would that be!
Sam, thanks for the additional listen. I don't know what version I
really like, if any, to be honest. Maybe I'll change the lyrics someday and put it on a Halloween album. Thanks brotha.
mixmkr, if I come up with anymore little riffs or whatever, maybe I'll send them your way. As for "loudest mixes" It peaks at digital zero. It's just very full. There's no clipping at all on this, but I did get some nasty undesirable distortion on the electric guitar tracks, but I left them there. I have to limit myself with some songs as to how much time I devote. I have like 4 or 5 projects going right now that I plan on detailing, and I just don't take this tune very seriously. Thanks for re-posting in this thread. At one point all threee threads were right next to each other...it was kind of embarrassing!
crawdad,
you never seem to have a single rough edge or sibilant spike in any of your stuff
You do have a knack for highlighting the positives. While that quote is probably not entirely accurate (but thank you anyway), I do feel like I've developed better and better tracking methods. I do very little mixing now, maybe an hour or two for a 5 minute song. As you already know, the tracking is really the most important stage. I've becomem comfortable enough with my gear, that I can usually do my guitar parts in 1, maybe 2 takes. If the vocal is already written, that's usually just 1 or 2 takes too.
I suspect that's even more true about you. Your tracks have a great calmness about them. Thanks Al.
