DaveT2 Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Interesting so far, but there seems to be a double hit on the bass drum that is offbeat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dream Art Scientists Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 (edited) Nice singing! There's something clashing in the rhythm which is quite distracting. The lead vocals seem a little over boosted. Edited October 2, 2022 by Dream Art Scientists 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Parsons Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 The essential tune is quite nice. I like the vocals and the groove. As others have mentioned, there is some tweaking needed to take care of some out of time rhythms. Is it possible that you have a long delay set on a percussion part? Please repost when you get that dialed! -Eric 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Bush Posted October 4, 2022 Author Share Posted October 4, 2022 Thanks chaps for the advice , I couldnt see the wood for trees type situation which is why this forum is so helpful for a one man band like myself , right so Ive deleted some bass drum hits and made some space Ive now finished the mixdown and i´ll post it cheers P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noynekker Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Hi Paul . . . just had a listen on SC and have great appreciation for what you done here, what a great sounding track ! (hear a few drum timing vs. guitar issues at the very start of the piece, but the groove certainly settles in after that) You recorded those vocals and harmonies very large and clear, and some stellar guitar work along the way. Great stuff, great songwriting, nice change ups, as always. This one has a very catchy melody in the verse and chorus, really enjoyable to listen to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Noynekker, I ironed out some glitches and did a much better mixdown although somehow betwen 07 13 seconds is a glitch that i cant identify , i think i´m going deaf , yeah i had a lot of fun with this one , after a long hot summer break I was ready to play about in the studio check out the master mix thanks for the lovely comments always appriciated cheers paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwnicholson78 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Nice tune. I really liked the vocals and the harmonies sounded great. There are some rhythmic issues between the bass and drums that others have mentioned. With some polishing this one will really shine. jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bajan Blue Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Hi Paul - really like the track - there is something there in the rhythm section that does feel wrong - perhaps the bass - apart from that, this is a great track. Really enjoyed it Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
