Yep, I can listen to it to. In fact I just did! :D It sounds real good--and I like the drums in my face like that. Nice job Eddie, Greg & Gorty!

(P.S. I just PM'd you about the next project...)
 
Sounds pretty good dude. I forgot all about this song. ;)

My cymbals sound kind of washy, but that's not your mix. It's the way I had my room set up at that time. :o

My only nit is Gorty's outro solo. It's great, but it's behind the music a little. Like his tracks not lined up with everything else. Try nudging it forward a little and see if it locks in better.

I had that problem before. I think I may have it starting a beat too early. When I sent him the track to record the solo, all I sent was the outro.:o

I'll go back and nudge it and post an update in a couple days.
 
The intro guitars remind me of George harrison's 1st solo stuff.
Drum are well placed.
The BVox come in in a swirling Queen style.
Nice to hear Gorty again - he was gaining mythic or Clayton's status due to his hermitage.
Nice work Eddie.
Oh - & Mr Srat - I really enjoyed YASBTMe - what a terrific intro arrangement - came on all Sgt Peppers & then dropped into the drive gear for the git melody - big surprise - & the reprise of the intro arrangement then all the anticipation of waiting & wondering how you'd deal with that last note - & well worth the anticipation too.
Sorry Eddie - back to yours.

Thanks, Ray. I am going to revisit the solo at the end. I don't understand why the solo sounds like it's behind the beat. Maybe I have been listening to it in the wrong spot so long that I got used to it. :o
 
I can listen to it, too. The mix is great. Everything's right where it should be, as far as I can hear.

Get a real drummer in there, and you're all set. :D :D :D

J/K. Greg sounds awesome, as usual, as do all the instruments.
 
Cool...sounds nice and full. Did this one make the rounds a few months ago without real drums? If so, what did you have for drums before? These sound great. Nicely balanced mix I think. Good job Rokket!:D

I definitely hear the odd timing thing with the lead vs the rest on the outro...but it is close.

Thanks, coming from you that really means a lot. Between you and Greg, the bar is set pretty high for musicianship and mixing around here!

I am working on the lead. I wish Gorty would pop in and send me the scratch track with his solo on it so I could compare.

The mix I submitted before had the same instrumentation as this one. Greg did the drums several months ago. I have just stepped up from wannabe AE to wannabe producer, and I have learned how to put a high sheen polish on my turds. ;)
 
The song has been updated. I think everything should be lined up now. I nudged the solo a bit and it sounds locked in now. I also edited the backing vocals to what they originally were.

Any comments are welcome.

Sounds pretty good Rokket, I think I would like the Bass guitar a touch louder to lock better with the kick drum. And the solo is still not quite right, it's just off enough to bug me-all the notes are there but sync is still off.....:(
 
I recommend you try a priceless plug-in........Melodyne, it changed my life.

I don't really care if I can't sing well. I get someone else to sing my better songs. I just like to record and mix. I'm not trying to be a pro. It's a hobby.

But thanks anyhow.

I can't get it right... :mad:

Is it behind or ahead of the beat?
 
Updated for the last time. If it's not right now, it won't ever be...
 
Just listened to it, the mix sounds great IMO, I dig the Backing vox effect you did, its just awsome.
Great Beats from Gergles, top notch.
Nice soloing by Gorty as well.:)

This defenitly is a keeper:cool:

To my ears the solo is behind the beat by a fraction of a second-did Gorty not send a full track to you, or only the solo segment itself???

I only sent him the outro section. I don't have it any longer, and when he sent me the solo, it was only as long as the outro. I remixed it. Did you get a chance to listen to the final mix?

I nudged it ahead a hair, and took the reverb off it. He has a delay on the track, so maybe that was causing some of it.
