If you have time take a listen and give rpcvlawson some feedback.
I gotta say that you really have something there. Has a great "Garage"ey feel to it.. I agree with the others about thickening it up, but that will come with experience. this is another track that I would really love to get my grubby little Hands on.. You're starting out with a great song, so it can only get better. The three esteemed gents who reviewed before me don't lie, and they wouldn't tell you to waste your time polishing this if it wasn't worth it..
I will check on this one periodically because it has a great feel and I'd like to see how it progresses.
Wow. Thank you! It really means a lot to me that people liked this track. It's one of my favorites that I've done--I'm doing a whole EP of rock songs with lyrics based around a fantasy fiction novel I'm writing.
I actually did "remaster" the track followed everyone's great advice. I'll be uploading it tonight. Is there any way that I can alert all of you to the new file? I'd like to hear what you think of the changes.
I agree with humps about doubling the rhythm guitar, I would also add that on the one side you could change the octave of the guitar. Gives a three dimensional sound.
In any case, the track is bloody awesome as it is.
Thanks so much for the review! I'm going to revisit this song very soon to try the doubling and the octave switch. I'm going to play around and see what I come up with. Thanks so much for the encouragement!
So how do you like the new guitar? PRS, nice! Not a bad listen man, great job singing, nice story.
You might want to try to double the rhythm guitar track and pan them left and right, it will fill the space better and your vocals will sit in the mix better and the bass will stand out more too. Also try adding some stereo widening to the tracks, they will sound fatter and thicker if you open them up a bit.
Excellent advice. I'm going to try everything you've just mentioned. I'm new to this game, so any tips are greatly appreciated.
As for the guitar--honestly, I'm in love with it. I've always had cheap $150 guitars. Now that I have this one--which wasn't astronomical but is definitely of better quality--I can see a huge difference in tone and the way I can access the fret board.

Description : This is my newest creation, at a stage very near to completion. No third-party mastering or mixing, as with all my tracks. Just have to fix a few tiny things. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO MIX EVERYTHING IN THE SAME SESSION. This song has all human-played instruments - no quantization or MIDI! My brother does all the vocals except for the interlude part, which I do. My other brother plays the rhythm guitar (a Gibson Les Paul Custom - only one of 12 in the world!!) and I play the accompanying guitar (a Johnny Mar Jag and PRS). He has a lot of guitars :P A good friend of ours, Ronnie, plays the bass and another friend, Freddie, plays the drums. The drum track was done in one take (had to use an electric drum set due to time constraints - but acoustic kits are so much better). Overall, pretty satisfied with the result. Let me know your thoughts.
Description : Feel free to check out the lyrics video on YT as well :) This is a new track based on the great vocals by Ashes and Dreams! Again, a mix of electronic/progressive/rock, any feedback is welcome
Description : The first track I sing on. Cheap stage mic & no fancy plugins. Heavily guitar laden to the point it's got a bit of a shoegaze thing going on. I pulled the lyrics out of my ass & yes, they're a bit silly.
Description : This song was not supposed to be the fourth track of "Diverse waves", but it finally is. Anyway it's a rock oriented track with some interesting sounds. I hope you like it. Worked in zenbeats DAW, by Roland.
Description : BIG UPDATE 26/02/2014 - So, this was an 18 min track that I have now successfully split in two. 2nd half I uploaded a few weeks ago (Things That Should Always Be, with the bouncy 2 min reggae intro). This is the first half, which has a new mix, a mega chill, meditative ending and a little jazz thrown in for good measure. Takes a few minutes for beat to really kick in. Constantly evolving electric guitar, bass guitar, acoustic drums and lead banjo driven by fat, busy 80BPM grooves with a bit of a reggae and shuffle feel. Also: synth choir voices, dulcimer, violin, cello, shimmering pads. Builds up gradually to nice and rocking and then gets taken back down for the big comedown chill. I really don't know what sort of genre this is except 'far out'. I think it sounds more like a live band than one guy playing instruments and manipulating a DAW. Not my best track but a bit of blissful, sunny island fun. Real positive vibe here so I hope you give it a chance to unfold and unfurl. Sit back, clear your schedule and immerse yourself in these trippy sonic experiments cooked up deep in my off-planet underground laboratory. I have to send the MP3 to Earth via space courier (not cheap).
Description : This track was like the inhale after an exhale of aggressive industrial-electro-sludge tracks that I had put out that summer and fall. This was the more reserved, and introspective winter track. It's nothing spectacular, but I still really enjoy it. I hope you do too. Take care. V.

Thanks for the kind words. It's was a fun song to do. I'm looking forward to doing the next one this week (I do one a week).
In any case, the track is bloody awesome as it is.
Love it
