noynekker Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Hey Douglas . . . very cool song, and it sounds like you've done something different here, different than your usual, changed up the songwriting . . . your vocals are always great, but in this one the drums, the beat, the song . . . evolved to something else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhonoBrainer Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 As usual, really good songwriting and good chops on the instruments and vocals. You have the touch of song arrangement! I wonder if there is a compressor on your master bus that might being doing just a bit too much? Or maybe just the drum bus compressor? I think the mix could breathe a little more but I have no idearrr what you've got going. Still sounds great. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark skinner Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Great Job . I Especially liked the toms , they kept everything moving and chugging like a freight train. Very nice bridge as well , it fit in perfectly. Enjoyed it .. mark 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your ears Tom - I agreed with you about the drums - I had the Voxengo Crunchessor on the drum bus - I was looking for a bit of punch to the sound of the kit - but I agreed with you after listening again - so I made some adjustments to the mix - thanks for the input. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall big 👍's t Thanks for listening Tom - I think you heard a newer mix than the one the other Tom (Phonobrainer) listened to - I think in the earlier version, due to my compression settings on the drum bus, the drums were overpowering everything else in the mix. I think it sounds a bit better now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjornpdx Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Doug, I'm always impressed with your arrangements, not to mention the excellent guitar playing. I almost didn't recognize your voc because of whatever treatment you have on that track. Or I just need to adjust my hearing aids. Whatever, great job on this one. -Bjorn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
