PavlovsCat Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 An alternative rock song I wrote called "Tired." Despite the title, the track has a good deal of energy. As always, I appreciate constructive criticism and mixing advice from the community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhonoBrainer Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Kinda Beatles with the saturated vocal and psychadelic chord changes. Really quite good! Not much to crit, maybe occasionally the high synth line steps on the vocal a little bit, as in 1:18. I loved the organ fill coming in around 1:54, perfect in the mix. Maybe the vocal could be saturated but also a bit less dry? Is there any reverb or delay on it? It might match the surrounding instruments a bit more? I dunno. It's a really good mix, things sound great. Cool song! cheers, -Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an effect chain on the vocal -- using ezMix. I never even thought about trying to mix the vocal like the rest of the instruments, although they're a bit of a mix. Because they're all sample libraries and I got to around 32 tracks, I wasn't using much in the way of effects beyond what's built into KONTAKT and I used Guitar Rig on some of the guitar sample libraries. I threw ezMix on the lead vocal, Antares Duo on a duplicate of that and then another instance of ezMix for the harmony vocal on the final chorus. I really don't know much about mixing and used Ozone's AI for mastering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark skinner Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Peter , Great song ! A couple of tweaks and you'll have this one nailed. But I think it's Fantastic the way it sits and have no crits or valuable suggestions . This sounds like Tom Petty and Peter D joined the Beatles. Enjoyed it .. mark 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
