Great tune man, I have a track called the so it was a no brainer to hear what yours sounded like. I really enjoyed this, its kind of funny how person can have a song title and it be so different. Nice job and thanks for sharing.

Emann, what a great tune, totally indie, lovely riff and chords and sweet guitar lead!

A suggestion: I think the song would improve if you worked the panning a little more the other way around, drums in the middle and spread guitar and bass , making it more "stereo". And easy on the vocals reverb.
It also would be rather cool is you added a tambourine in the chorus, it feels like it's that kind of song.

I hope yo don't take these suggestions the wrong way, the song is a fav.
/pmk

Emann replied Unknown

Thank you for taking the time to review and share your knowledge, Kikajon. your advice is always welcome & appreciated. I agree with everything you said and will do it. Only the pan actually is as you said - i think it was a stereo field processor I used that made the placement sound different. i'll also review this. Cheers, jon

This is great. A definite fav.

If I were you, I'd bring the vocal a bit more forward.

Track kicks major butt, my friend. Great composition.

Okay, first, vocal need to come more forward. Second, the effects on your voice, I think, are causing your vocals to compete with you instruments at some points and there's some fading. I only notice because I've had to deal with the same prob :-)

All it might need is some changes in the panning. The farther away you separate two competing voices (sounds) the less they will clash. There are some other things you can do as well. I have an ebbok with suggestions for dealing with such a problem. If you wnat, I'll send it to you.

All The Best

Hi John, thanks for the specific input. I especially appreciate this type of review, which includes ideas to improve the song. I suppose itÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s a bit obvious Ã¢â‚¬â€œ IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢m more of an old-school axe grinder Ã¢â‚¬â€œ than a digital age techie. Nonetheless, IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢m not proud to receive help whenever I can get it. IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢d appreciate the ebook, and IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ll take into account all of your suggestions.
Thanks again, JB

I honestly listen to much country, but theHumps has been changing that and now you are contributing to my it as well.

This is the kind of country I like.

John

Emann replied Unknown

I like some of the modern country music. As a kid, I learned to play with my dad...playing Hank Williams Sr. stuff (the father of country music). I think the thing that took away that country sound I was looking for in this song is the VST drums, which 'are not' country. Anyway, good hear from you, and glad you enjoyed it. I guess its mostly the lyrics and vocal range, but I always seem to play this song to my self whenever I pick up the acoustic.
You must be enjoying BC at this time of the year - I was born in Van, cheers! JB

Great song Emann, has hints of Alice Cooper and some great guitar sounds. I agree with the others it has tremendous potential..

The drums are coming through a bit thin.. I listened on both flat response monitors and the average Bass boosted media player sound. also there seems to be some issues with the vocal. I'm not the most expert, but it seems recorded at too hot a level.The Looperman thread on spectrum analyzing changed everything for me, I think by leaps. I also use the EQ while it's up, and will eq a track that's fighting for headroom towards a different frequency, towards "The Bald Spots" so to speak. So there's not big clipping peaks at the lows and highs ( as a Geetar player, I scoop my mids, sometimes too much)
sure the loops here are great, but take advantage of the great tutorials in the forums.
I liked this and hope to hear it again.

Emann replied Unknown

Hi Toby, thanks for compliment: IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ve an old Al Cooper fan (one a the first Ã¢â‚¬ËœLPsÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ I bought as as kid was Ã¢â‚¬ËœMillion Dollar BabiesÃ¢â‚¬â„¢).
Also I appreciate the specific input. I especially appreciate this type of review, which includes ideas to improve the song. As I said to John (above)...

I actually think the different guitar textures add character to this one, and helps set it apart from the normal cookie cutter guitar tracks we hear from the guitar gods. Really nice job on this.

I hear what you're talking about regarding the effects of different mics. The track might well be worth doing over. If you have guitar bits you don't want. let me know. I'm sure I can find a place for them in a track.
