Description : Update: Went through the timing and cleaned it up a bit. Also remastered it in Audtion for some extra freshness.

When I moved into the city, instead of the mountains for a view I got a church tower in my skyline. The song in Swedish is about everyday life in my surroundings and the title translates to The City Bells. Recorded with garageband, strat, precision and some strait NYC-loops.

The mixing and mastering is nice on this. You are using the whole stereo field, the mix is wide, so nice and it seperates the instruments nicely.

Here is a tip. In Audition, use the chorus(in the modulation tab) to spread each track out even more. Push all the sliders on top to the left except spread. If you do that and adjust the controls at the bottom part of the plugin you can widen or narrow the guitars(vocals, bass...) and if they are panned left and right you will make them fill the space even more. Experiment with this, it's a great way to make things sound big and full, especialy if you only use a couple instruments.

Nice job, with this!

Thank you for the kind words and the tip, I'll try that. I realize that the application has tons of potential, I just have to figure it out.

gawd. the mastering is incredible.

it's as fresh as morning.

i think the vocal could use a slight cap on the underside.

but what a cool song bro - you should do an english version my friend.

cuz this is great. rock n roll K -

Thanks CK – your kind words really makes me happy, I'll see if I can make some english lyrics done.
I am thrilled of the mastering possibilities in Audition, I think it makes the tunes shine a little more.

Take care

other than that, sweet beat and sound. good work.

I think you refer to another track, this track is only 3:29. If you mean our newest track, I see your point and will keep it in mind. Thanks, for the feedback and I truly appreciate it.

Everything sounds okay, but your timing on the guitars really needs some improvement! You're always ahead of the beat.
Kikajon
Kikajon replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
That is totally true, you've pointed out one of my weak points. But it doesn't matter how much I work on it, I always seem to be ahead. That's why I begun to work with guitar players better than myself.

Another great track. I have no idea what you're singing, but I sure as hell like the way you're singing it. Great vocals over a great backing track and an awesome rock guitar solo. Production is great. Arrangement perfect.

Especially about the voice remark, I don't consider myself as a singer and I am grateful that you like the vocals. I'm actually surprised…

Hey my friend, great song!I love the opening riff,and I think your bass playing doesn't get enough credit!I like your vocals.It sounds cool where you kind of backed up your vocals.To me a city cant match natures beauty.Well maybe some of the cities in Europe,eh you know what I mean!Great tune!

Kikajon replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Thanks Jim. Especially about the bass playing. I actually think that the bass is the way coolest instrument in a band, creating à rock solid foundation together with the drums. I started to play the bass more just about 15 months ago and only on recordings. Never live but always fun.

Good song with chorus that reminds me all the rock of the 60 and 70. You have my admiration for your guitar. Keep rocking.

Thanks Vicen, I appreciate your kind words. I guess cannot hide the fact that I love the rock from the 70ies... :)
Again, thank you.

This has a nice easy approach to it and I like it! The tone on the guitar is sweet, especially the lead. I would turn the keys up a little bit. I felt they were lost in the mix and didn't stand out enough. Another cool track PM!
Kikajon
Kikajon replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it.
I'll check out the keys and see what I can do, I'm not totally satisfied with their sound and that's maybe why I kept the more in the background. Thanks for the feedback.

Nice riff work and guitar tone on this - great retro sounds - remind me of how guitars used to sound when I was growing up!

Kikajon replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Thank you Jamie. Sometimes I'm not sure of how a song will turn out or where it will lead. And when I'm done it became something else than intended, but almost always with a touch of the seventies.
Thanks for the rev and the fav. Cheers

looking at a building where there used to be a mountain... ah, it is a great and wistful feel on this track - really dig how that lead walks out the window and back to the high places

Thanks Micheal for the rev and the fav. I think music is a really cool eay to transmit emotion pictures and scenes. I think you understand this track without anderstanding a single word of the lyrics – I got the the idea of this song looking out my third floor window. Thanks again

Description : Worked on this for a bit. Honestly, there was only so much I can think of in this beat. Probably should've sat it down for a bit, but eh.

If I turn out to find something else to add, you guys will get an update.

Description : An atmospheric and deeply emotional journey through the passage of time, fading memories and the distance that grows between who we were and who we've become. Blending ethereal soundscapes, haunting vocals and spacious reverb-drenched textures. The song explores the fragile nature of human connection and the introspection that comes with looking back.

Description : Vibey Hip-hop, experimenting with some distorted drums to give it a raw, in your face smash. Is it too much and should i tone it down or is it adding to the vibe of the track?
