Awright guys, you've put up with my ass-clown shenanigans long enough ;) Here you are, pretty much stripping down to your underwear when you put your stuff up here for review, and I ain't been naked once :(

Wasn't gonna do this, but here's a rough mix of mine. You'll clearly see that "a pro, I ain't" :)

Really, it's got clipping and nasty sh&t like that... so when I say "rough" I mean it ;) Only from 2:59-3:40 (the end/outro) have I done any detailed mixing on... you'll be sure to hear the warts, the tom toms clipping, the boominess here and now... and even the "lack of artistic vision" :cool:

Someone (Track Rat??) once said "Don't put up your unfinished stuff, or your liver will explode"... or something to that effect... understood completely. I just felt like it was time to put my neck on the line a bit, even though all 10 sections of this song haven't had nearly the attention I'd like to put in the mix. Taking some more time on each and every section of the song (not just the outro) will definitely get done... please understand that this is not my best effort... in much of it, a strict lack thereof ;)

The very rough mix

I understand it needs mucho work; just throwing it on here for the core song idea. Thanks, y'all! :D

Yup :D

fenderlikingood (rick): Yeah, thanks man. I know the drums clip pretty damn obviously in places, but that will get fixed. Hey, now where's your tune? :D

EDIT: lol, no not "shave my balls" :D
 
Sweet...

This is one very crisp clean recording. And quirky as hell!

This very creative stuff...and the lyrics have a dark humor to them- I love that. I like the changes in guitar tone from part to part....lots of interesting contrast. Mad drum track.

"Son you're a disappointment..." Aren't we all....

Only thing from me tonight is maybe look to balance out vocal levels a little more...there are a couple of panned lines that seem to be a bit greedy for air time.


Nice job!
 
Very cool song participant. I dig the creativeness in it, along with the all out harder jam parts. Sound's pretty clean too.
It look's like you survived putting your mix online with flying color's........Joe Recorder:)
 
OMG! excellent song.. I'll have to get back with mix comments, but first let me just quickly say this is excellent... I have a song with dissapointment in the lyrics..


I like this a lot..


the vocals clipped in a few spots..


I'll come back to this later.. thumbs up.. I knew it was going to be good..

I agree. The song is great. The execution however.....

Well, you know. :p

It's got more to do with your recording methods than your performance.;)

Funny, I could have wrote a similar tune only it would have been from the opposite perspective. :eek:
 
some cool stuff here ... ever-changing drums are very cool but anoying (for lack of a better word) IMHO :) nice breaks with accoustic and then elctr gtr kicks in, I always liked those ... finaly something from you ... good job ...
cheers
 
ok ive listened 10times now....
guitar tone is awesome......what the hell time sig is the intro in???.....the drum programming..must have taken about 4 yrs...nice job....
so you recorded this ....and now yer mixing it down or whatever ...and you hear yourself say.."shave my balls.."...and think........"yep thats stayin"....lol.....
the drums do clip a bit around 2:00 er so when you really let loose......but not bad ..still kicks the shit outta my mixes....
and that final cymbal fades for like 20 minutes.....


all in all
nice job...

jamal

:D
 
nice drum sounds! I'm guessing they were real, but if they weren't, damn!!!!! Maybe unbusy them a bit and use the odd time and offbeat stuff to kick ass sporadically. Those cymbals gave me shivers... smoooooooth.

nice geeetar tones. amped or emulated?

the vocals. what kind of mic? pre? I really dug some of the panning harmony stuff. maybe put a little verb on them and ease them behind the lead vocal a bit.

glad to finally hear your stuff, brah!

how many of you instantly crossed your legs upon hearing the line about shaving of the balls?
 
You've been holdin out man!This is a fine piece of work you have here.I can see now why it took so long to get it up on the board.There's a lot of shit going on here and it's all good!

The vocals are a little hot when you really bare down on some of the words.It clips a little....are you running your vocal chain through a Compressor/Limiter to kinda tame it a little and keep it even?If not,that would take care of the frying signals on the vox.

Just a damn good song all the way around.Definetly NOT mainstream stuff.Cool song for sure man.......be sure and fix the problems and post it again!

Good job Chad.
 
Dang man... your "drummer" must be one serious druggie...

it sounds like he's got the shakes, the jitters, the cold sweats, and the munchies all at once... :p

:D

That was one seriously erratic drum track.. :p

Good song, btw. I like the full guitars sounds that you get (like at 2:04)... I think some mix tweaking/minor changes are necessary, but I don't think it's anywhere near as bad as you made it out to be.. :p

I thought the synth in the intro was a little out of place... or maybe just a little too... uh... "synthy". :p

The main vocal sounded a little rough (at times)... you'll prolly have to re-track that... some of the clips in it can't be "fixed".

I think with some well thought-out production and maybe something that resembles a consistent drum track ( :p ) this could be a killer tune.

Dude...fix "discover" and "murder," and your vocal's fixed, as far as I'm concerned.

Not exactly my bag, but it doesn't matter because my songs bore people to sleep, and I listened to this quite a few times, and I never went to sleep. Quite the opposite...my head jerked around as if I'd been given caffeine and crystal meth in IV fashion with a jolt cola back.

We need to have to have a serious discussion about your mushroom induced lyrics, but that's a topic for another day.

Please tell me we don't have to wait for you to make another 500 posts before we get more, okay?

Please don't ever leave this place!!!!

:D
:D

chad-lee...this is great stuff. I love the drums, the mixing (as you say is in its rough stage) is off the a great start. slucie summed it up with the 'positive' assesement of "quirky". Pleasantly quirky I might add. The intro I might be best as a segue in the song somewhere, as it might make a nice break, and come up with a different intro...something a little more ...something. Great soloing and gtr sound too. quirky lyrics too.

you've been lurking too long...

seems you even got the "ok" from watyf on the drums...wadda ya know:D !!!

lol... uh... I said it sounded like he was on crack when he programmed the drum parts... :eek: :D :cool:

that's an "OK"?? :D :p

There is a fine line between creatively quirky drums (a la "Sluice") and drums without any discernable "rhyme or reason" (so to speak). I would say he crossed that line... but that line, obviously, is subject to taste.

Pure "taste" here,.. but I would say that with a few adjustments and a little more structured drum beat, (I'm not sayin' to go "Creed" on me or anything... :p) this could really be a top-notch production...

I will give him the fact that his samples didn't sound too "cheesy". They were fairly decent drum samples, and "fit" with the song pretty well.

Please tell me those drums are real, they're great. I don't think they're quirky at all, very unique and rhythmic. And the song is very cool, dark and driving, reminds me of Smashing Pumpkins a little. You've already got more mixing advice than I could possibly help with, I just liked it, great job :D
 
Very interesting tune! Some very strange drum fills in the opening-I can't tell what the intention of them was but it works i guess...Cool guitar sounds-how are you getting those big distortion sounds? guitar solo sounded a bit low but well played....Great use of dynamics going from wall of sound to nylon guitar. Real good sound my man-the only thing that might need work in my opinion is the vocals-maybe adding different effects for different parts of the song???They sound a little on the bland side-maybe going up an octave for the chorus or something-just some ideas..good tune-nice work...keep em comin
