on Call It Compromise by topvega
I feel your vocals could be louder or more centered, they seem very wide to me in the mix. I actually decrease the width of my vocals to about 90%. This way they are centered and more narrow in my mix. By doing this it helps to keep it from messing with my featured instruments' freqs which I pan wide. Then I use a short delay and a bit of reverb to give me the additional width in the mix while keeping the vocals centered and narrow. Hopefully that makes some sense, he.

My only advice would be, 1. Come up with a solid hook, 2.write another verse in which you can alternate from and 3. Add at least one musical change to the song.(since this is a pop song it becomes a bit redundant without a change of some sort...just my opinion). Other than that I think you have a great tune on your hands.
Best Regards

I am working on another verse as well as a change or two to break up the monotony. Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it.

I love the blues!! Addicted to playing it on my cigar box guitars now B-)
Yeah I also love to step back into just heavy Blues feel from time to time. It is like a soul cleansing at times.
Thanks for the listen and the comment.

on Hold On Tight by topvega
What I mean is that it doesn't smack you in the face with sounds that feel empty and cold but instead provides a familiar warmth.
It's rare for music to have that anymore.
Well done!

The guitars sound great and they have a very modern British feel with the 8th note phrasing.
I like the mix - it gives it a raw edge lots of people love.

favs at almost 300 listens (well, now it's definitely getting the third)! Folks of Looperman, are you deaf or what??! This is a powerhouse of sheer rocking quality and those guitars sound so majestic ! The only thing which is bothering me is how could I have missed this gem before..:)

All tracks have a 5 band EQ and Guitar Rig 5. Guitar Rig 5 on the drums is Deep and Wide setting. The guitar Rig settings on the guitars are Right side One May Left Billy Dual Grange. The bass is Precise Bottom and Wide Stereo, both panned to the middle. The 3 Keyboard parts are Izotope Iris 2, Massive, Vox V.

Good, crunchy guitar tone and bass is also powerful.
0:25 I hear a filter swept synth playing a very small role. More of that sort of thing could make this kind of track more interesting.
Good timing in your playing and I like the triplet stuff around 1 min for a while.
Drums are busy and pretty good.
This does sound like a well played live jam so could do with a bit more variation to break all that riffage up. Maybe drop the guitar for a bit and open up into a bass and drums section then perhaps bring guitar back in playing some subtler, gentler stuff. Build back up to the balls out riffage.
Good stuff.
I like the idea of maybe dropping or minimizing the guitar for a bit and letting the bass shine. Thanks for the idea and for taking the time to give it a listen and comment. Much appreciated.

Guitars sound killer with the overdrive and tuned down a semitone.Those Asus4 chords open up the chorus nicely.
It sounds like you are playing the whole track live on the guitar which keeps the interest as your touch has a great loose feel giving variation to the hammer-on riffage.A sweet moment being at 3:30!
My only critique would be- maybe take the sting out of the cymbals.
Great job. Rhodesy
You are correct I did play the whole song live on both Guitar and bass. I also took your advice and went in and EQ'd the drums to try and take the sting out of the cymbals. Thanks for pointing that out.
Appreciate you giving it a listen.

Your guitar is brutal good and the Addictive tone is very much connecting to the Zep tone...
Hats off, Danke

This is a great track! I kept seeing comments about vocals. Personally, I don't think it's really set up for vocals. There's a lot of guitar in there! That's not a bad thing, either. Funny thing is, when it first started, my brain went to John Lennon, then to Iggy Pop, into Mick Jagger, and then finally Josh Homme. The music is such a perfect blend of all of them, that any of them could fit in perfectly.
Excellent work, man.
Take care.
Sloe.
