on not waving but drowning - rock version by Zootman
Oh hell yeah what a great start I like this kind of rock the vocals remind me of the seventies style a little bit. I'll try to come out my comfort zone so I'm going to put this next on my list the rock genre but right now I'm trying to work on it reggaeton but definitely you and danke are the creators in the Rock area

Bro, thanks a lot for the listen and down load. Seriously I don't think I'm anywhere near the league of danke or any one else for that matter but you can only do your best. I do enjoy the challenge of writing songs tho. Cheers.

Nice to here your voice again Chris, real good track, you dropped the intro straight into the vox this time around the tweeks and Rock edge gives this a massive lift, and I like this better than the trap version although that's good you should get the Mrs backing on this a third version

Ha ha cheers Paul, the first hurdle is getting her to listen to it lol. Yeah I kinda liked this version. Probably should have worked on the arrangement a bit more, I feel like it capitulated a bit at the end, maybe should have dropped it back into the rock to finish but couldn't really be assed!

zootman2u, I hear the extra work you've put in. Don't you worry anything about mixing with those headphones. You got the job done and done well. Drums punchy vocals strong. This balanced mix made this song a great listen.

Hi there, thanks very much. I did try a bit more production on this one with some compression on drums and vox and some saturation. I sometimes find it hard to hear the effects of the compression but I think I'm training my ear to it a little now.

Wow..impressive! I realy dig the style of music. Pleasant tone on your voice, fits perfect with your music. For a headphone mix its good. My only preference is to maybe brighten up the guitar a tad bit. Other than that, stellar production and performance.

Hi there, thanks very much for the constructive comment. I did brighten the guitar a little and upped them in the mix a fraction. Cheers mate, have a good day.

first of all ... faved from the first notes ... brilliant sounded and played track ... great mix on my standard and that voice of yours is absolutely fantastic for this alt/rock style ... just a note in parentheses: a quiet background vox could still come to the chorus ... (I've been humming myself ...) :-)
fistbump, Danke

Hey there, thanks heaps man I was kind of hoping you'd hear and actually like this, I think I had you in mind a bit. In fact I was half in mind to ask you to play some guitar! I wasn't sure about this one cause between producing this version and the original it became hard to listen objectively after a while. Lastly, most times I listen to your work I end up humming melodies to myself:)

Another cool version ... cant remember apart from the different beat what else has changed but I love this one too : ) (will go have another listen to the first)
Zootman
Zootman replied 15th Dec 2021 - 4 years ago
Quick off the mark mate! Added guitars, new bass (was quite pleased with that), upped the tempo a fraction, changed vox processing and arrangement a little. Still needs a tweak here and there. Cheers for your support Ian :)

Aces. The mix is great, instrument choices are also really good. Your mellow vox is hypnotizing. About 2:19 was a good tremolo effect stereo-wise. And then came back again at 3:00. A little coda at 4:00. good work.

Hi Cru, thanks a lot. Despite the fairly serious lyric/story I had fun making this one. Good to know you thought it was OK. cheers Chris

Great soundcape, entry into a dreamworld. Everything is so niced layered amazing vibe an feel you created. Today i was suprised to hear a track with your mellow voice. It has something natural that calms me down. It fits perfect to your beat. The lyrics are amazing , honest and real. I want to hear more of this kind.

I read this poem in a book I keep by the toilet, and the words of the poem resonated with me. Sometimes I believe everyone in this world is fighting some sort of battle. Anyway, glad you found it calming, that was the effect I was trying for. All the best Chris.

Great track and vocals. The mix is top notch. Love how you have implented the guitar and bells to add a lot of atmospheric vibe.

Hi there, always good to hear the mix sounds OK. I have to mix mostly through headphones (or the car stereo!) so not always easy to know how it translates. Cheers Chris

I especially like the tremolo on the guitar. Kinda spacey, a bit trippy. Not a big fan of the drums but i do like the overall feel and atmosphere of the track. Vox sound decent in the mix, interesting lyrics too.

Cool!

Hi Wayne, thanks for the honest feedback. Might be right about the drums, maybe I'll look at trying some lofi type hits. Cheers
