Hey Derek,

Pretty nice song...I haven't had a chance to listen on my monitors..just headphones.(and cheap ones at that)...but I liked what you did.

You were asking about the bass, couldn't really tell for now...also, is the snare drum compressed? seems to have a lot of extra sound in it, maybe hat was your intent...

I also listened to your other song, "It's all about the brotherhood"...very nice mix...and playing.
 
hi 79 les paul

thx im glad you liked it
I didnt put any compression on drums,,maybe its the sample i used
i have to check that out,,,in my monitors (tannoy pbm8s) the bass sounds normal ,in my car it sounds loud..just wondering how i can get a better mix
even it out....
 
I'll listen to it tonite when i get home....I have a pair of Yorkville YSM1i's running off a Yamaha Amp....I'll see how the bass sounds there.
 
hi

Any more suggestions on the mix...how can i improve it?
hows the eq,compression,levels.....etc......thx
 
hi,

I really liked the song - nice voals especially - they had a good tone to them.

as far as the mix goes, I'm still learning . . . but it sounded good to my ears. only thing I picked up on was that there seemed to be a bit of distance between the organic (live) elements like the (very nice) guitar and vocals and the programmed bits like the beats (and the bass?). I'm not sure how you would sove this, or even if you would want to, but yeah, thought I'd offer an opinion anyways
 
I like this. Guitars and Vocal sound real good. I like your voice a lot, it's perfect for this type of music. You might be better off using a more traditional acoustic kick sample, and maybe mixing in a tiny bit of a 909kik in behind it to keep that deep thing you've got going in there. Then see if you can find some good velocity layered samples of a real loose snare, hitting it real lightly. Or maybe just a clicky little rim tap sound. Also, the loop is very repetitive. I'd replace whatever that is in the left side with a real tambourine, but only in the chorus, or some selected parts. Let the ride handle the verse. Just do something to change it up a little bit. Also, the structure seems strange. Was this the whole song or just a snippet? Seems like it could use another verse/chorus run through or something. I kind of like how the bass is on the right.
Overall, I really like what you've written and the performance is great. A little tweaking and it'd be perfect.
 
hi all


nickjc....thank you im glad you liked it...how would i fix that distance and spacing ,,?
sometimes i dont think i get enough...stereo spread..any suggestion of how to remedy this would be a great help..thx

mbuster....thx im glad you enjoyed it...you have givin me some great ideas on the drums..usually i pick a looped sample..and let it play all the way through...breaking it up seems like it would be a lot more effective..and you are correct this is just a snippet
of the song....i will experiment with dif drum in dif places......exciting....thx
