This is my first 'real' recording. The song is of a friend. He recorded it with sampler and sequencer to tape (drums, keyboards and delayed guitar riff). Then we recorded that tape to my VS1880 (He lost the samples...), and added vocals, more guitar, more vocals...

Give me as much comment as you can. I love to learn from my mistakes. Now go get it... Off you go!!

By the way: I love the song. This guy is a real bad drummer, and even worse guitarplayer, but a hell of a voice, and his creativity never ceases to amaze me. Gotta love the man. To bleep or not to bleep. That's the question.

Come ooooooooooon....

I really need some feedback... Dude will be back tomorrow, and I need to have some decent comments to show off how good I really am.

 

[Meshuggah]

Well.. not mych to say.. It's a good song, it sounds good, he sings very good.. You did good!

That's it??

I was hoping to get some fundamental critics here...

I'll start with some myself:
I lacks low (talking low lows here). You cannot hear it on a regular stereo, but I listened to it on a friends stereo, which has extreme low response... Commercial disks give you thrills. This one doesn't. But this came from the tape, so I cannot really change alot. Experiment with some equalizing or multiband compression, but that's it... (Any suggestions?)

Vocoder needs to be a bit louder maybe. (You cannot really hear it, that's why. )

Vocals need to get a little louder on the sentence: He changed into a monkey... (middle second verse)

The big reverb thingy on 'in the blink of an eye' (end second verse) needs to be lowered a bit.

Sounds like a good mix. The singer was little boring, though. It lacks that special something, either that or it's too much going on to be effective.
