Description : Remastered 1-31-20

Tracked down the master and remixed it with what I have learned so far and took out the JamStix 3 and replaced it with Addictive Drums.

Edit 7-14-12 Took the kind advice and reigned in the guitar levels a bit.

Edit:7-8-12 Remixed the whole thing.
Drums:JS3
Guitars:myself
Bass:myself

I guess this is kind of my Pink Floyd vibe on a more mellow track.

I really like the effects on the guitars. It does have a feel of 70's rock music like Pink Floyd and other bands as well. I would like to hear Paul Rogers voice over this, the change at about 50 secs reminds me a bit of Rock Steady by Bad Company, I mean that as a compliment. I hear a bit of Foreigner in there, these are bands I loved back in the day so this one I can certainly relate to and appreciate.

Mix sounds cool, rhythm down the middle, gits panned wide. I listen to so many bands as to how they mix their gits, it's so varied but I like the guitars separated wide. I'm finding it's the width of the tracks that also comes in play, especially the bass git.

Well done!

Thank you kindly. I was most happy with my bass work on this track. I have played guitar since the 80's. Bass is new to me.
Thanks again for the listen and feedback.

Very good track MrTopVega!
Liked a lot the guitar here: killer sound for the lead guitar.
Drums are good as well.
I find the end a bit "incomplete".
Overall: Great Song!
Ciao, Domenico

Excellent! Where were you hiding this one? :D If you want another drum kit to play with, this one's free and pretty good. I've been using it lately, little simpler than addictive drums. I do like Add. Drums though :D https://www.looperman.com/free-music-software/detail/manda-audio-mt-power-drum-kit-2 So what;'s through the clearing? safety from.... 3:D

Thanks Richie. Yeah I think this is one of the better tracks drum wise from me. I think alternating between the slow and fast pace drum patterns helped as well. Thanks for giving it a listen and for commenting.

Are you using Roland (BOSS) effects on this one. I like the effect, I agree with vicky dan to tone it down a bit in the mix.

topvega replied 25th Jun 2014 - 11 years ago
It's labelled as Tweed Delight Sweep Delay on Guitar Rig 5. It's one of my favorite effects.

Lol... I agree about the guitars. But that is coming from a guitarist so I am biased. Thanks for checking it out and for the kind words.

Hi I don't really listen to elements of Rock, but from a music prospective. I do have to agree with Blaqh and Vicky the guitar does sound too forward, but I am liking the overall mix of it maybe adding some vocals to your mix as you suggested would be even better! keep it up :)

I'm definitely diggin this arrangement. i have to agree with VickyDan you need to pull back on that guitar to get a good balanced sound
topvega
topvega replied 14th Jul 2012 - 13 years ago
Thanks BM I appreciate you taking the time to listen and offer some advice on how to make the mix better. I am a guitarist at heart so I tend to push the guitar levels too hot in the mix from my bias. :) I lowered them a bit so they don't stand out so much in the mix.
thanks again

Hello ....

Yes! very good vibrations "Pink Floyd" here .... but for the mix would require a little more discernment (my humble opinion of course) ....
For example, the rhythm guitar is too forward, and drowning out the other elements of this composition.
This takes nothing from your great talent anyway, and the general idea is very good .... and I encourage you to persevere.
Do you have separate tracks?

Thanks for the constructive feedback, I appreciate it. I brought the rhythm guitar down in the mix. I usually listen to my rendered songs a cpl different ways before I post them but didn't with this one..instead I just trusted the headphone mix. Thanks again. Will continue fine tuning this one and maybe even add some vocals.

Description : "Celebrate the Cornerstone," penned by Kay Matteson, John Matteson, and Richard Shekari, is an uplifting contemporary worship song that beautifully encapsulates themes of salvation and divine love. Drawing from biblical imagery, the lyrics highlight Jesus as the Chief Cornerstone—initially rejected but ultimately essential to faith.
