Thank you, I'll take note of the vocals.

Hello guys, I was away for a while. I hope you are all well.

In the meantime a new song has been made.

Genre is progressive rock.

This is my original song.

The song is called "Mr. Star".

Here is link: https://youtu.be/-ETw9aISy6A

Lyrics translate to english: 

Mr.Star

In our city a regular guest in a café
He arrives early in the morning and leaves late.
He drinks his cognac like he's the last one.
And the stories he tells are bothering to make your head hurt.

That man's been through a lot, old man
He even played the drum but no one cares.
He loved music, he'd give anything for it.
But especially the classics and Frederick Chopina.

Allright.

Mr.Star

When he leaves his place in the café
Who knows how and where his days and nights go.
No one knows where he lives he says nothing
It just goes and comes it's a mystery.
And one day there's no trace of him
People are talking some rumors.
He buy a one-way ticket
He took his things and good luck to him.

Hello everyone, after some time I try to work on my original songs. This is the last song I'm working on. The song is called Mr. Star. Unfortunately, the song is only in Croatian, maybe we'll make an English version. I am open to any criticism regarding the production in order to improve my works... It should be noted that this song was made by me and my brother in a home studio, nothing professional... Thanks to everyone who listens to the song!

Here is link of song:

first thanks for the comment, the piano is put in the background together with the rhythm guitars. Maybe the volume of the piano should have been increased, but I felt that it was not necessary :)

This is full version of the cover

Definitely prefer mix 1. Steve is right, those harmonies aren't quite right in volume - mix 1 is better. I think the original might have had more than a two-part harmony but I'd have to have another listen.

Your faux 12-string is not half bad. I'm interested to know you did that - just a simple dup track and octave transpose of all six strings?

Last time I did it I used Melodyne on a dup track and then removed all the very high notes to try and get closer to a real 12 string then created a separate dup track of the B and E string notes. Not sure it really worked though, as it's hard to isolate notes played on B And E as you want to duplicate rather than octave them.

I guess the simplest answer is to buy a 12 string. 😂

Overall, good job but you might want to check the BGV levels.

Andy

For 12 string emulation yes i simple dup track and +12 transpose all six strings....and yes it is easier to buy a 12 string guitar  

For harmonies i think there are three harmonies I can't decode the third that connects the vocals so i record only two

It seems like a simple song but it’s not.

Hello, i made cover of Byrds version of song Mr.Tambourine man.

I will post two versions the differences are in panning instruments

I use virtual drums and bass and for 12 string part i duplicate guitar track and transpose +12 because i dont have 12 string Rickenbacker

Hope you will enjoy!

Have a nice day everybody!

My grasp of Croatian is about zero, but doesn't mean I couldn't appreciate the sentiment. Great composition and well performed - really enjoyed the listen.

To sum up: napravio si sjajan posao na ovome 🙂

Andy

Thank you.

Our new original song we made "Pismo na kraj svijeta"(A letter to the end of the world)

Song is mixed and mastered in Cakewalk.

Here is lyrics of the song translated to english:

A LETTER TO THE END OF THE WORLD

VERSE

I am writing a letter looking at a picture of memories boiling

I have so much to tell you since you've been gone.

And you are far away now,  are you  missing someone

If you say a word to me i would be immediately come to you to the end of the world.

BRIDGE

And through strong storms and winds

And through the currents of the sea and the waves

And the letter reaches you quickly.

REF

I'm sending you a letter letter to the end of the world.

Let the wind carry him to the end of the planet.
