    They Lied

    Hi jwnicholson78, thank you for listening and your comment. I will be addressing the lead vocal to have more clarity and presence in a redo. Interesting feedback that the backing vocals sound in a different space. I think I sort of intended some other world role for them since the lyrics are dark, something opposite of that. I will ponder your feedback when I redo it so ty! Appreciate the perspective.
  2. I love your colorful family ! Very clever and creative. The song and video demonstrate it well. As for the mix, I responded to the kick drum like it was a bit too strong for the song. Otherwise, all good.
  3. Very nice tribute to your friends song. You are lucky to have video from back then! It wasnt all that common then. I think the instrumentation you created goes very well with the song. The vocals arent too bad quality really. He has an interesting voice. If you wanted to try to improve them I think some plugins that take out resonances, room sounds, dereverb kind of stuff whatever are probably available as a trial. Anyways, nice work and you had a good singer/songwriter/bandmate in Rob.
  4. Haven't heard this song in ages so nice to revisit it. Enjoyed it, especially the bass playing! Glad its up in the mix.

    Each step you took made it better, good work!
  6. Lovely melancholy tribute to Missi. Wow, Ms W and Missi. My condolences. Glad you are doing ok after your surgery in that respect. My hockey goalie son’s beloved yorkie humorously named Rambo, well up in years, coincidentally died on my birthday and he is still sad about him many years after. We sorta have matching birthday trauma cause on his birthday I got the call to evacuate my home due to an encroaching wildfire that fortunately skipped my neighborhood. Im not a pet person but know its tragic for those who are to lose their pets. Take care, that’s a lot to go through!
  7. Catchy. I hear some low end in this one, only now and then some pops in. Just my taste but I would put it throughout and rhythmically along with the drum stuff. Good riffs.
  8. Hi Dean, You would put it online somewhere like youtube or bandcamp or soundcloud etc, then you start a new topic as you have here and then put the link to the song wherever you posted it online into the body of the post. There may be other ways but thats what I know.
  9. Nice. I wasnt sure if the coyotes were in the song or in my vicinity ha. 1. I think the main vox are clear and good level. 2 The upright bass sounds a lot like the electric bass to me, with the upright being a little bit more smushy but very similar. So either way works I think, 3 the guitar in the intro is prominent but it is the star at that moment so I like it. Enjoyed it from the desert coyote land....
  10. Nice, I like the revision, sounds great. I was especially listening for the drums being out of sync with your playing and honestly I couldn't tell. At times the guitar strum has a part of it thats low compared to the rest of the strum pattern so maybe that gap in the strum so to speak gives a little offness. Anyways a great song, love your voice.

    Yeah the revision does have slightly more dynamics changes so I like this version better. If you want to play with it some more, like Nigel said, add some different synths for variety here and there. But, it has a simplicity to it that works with your voice and lyrics and the style of the song so I think this is what you are going for. Its a good song.

    Its True

    Yes you made synth pop and it sounds right on. I enjoy all your songs, all good quality.

    I like it. Nice development. Good instrumentation. Maybe make the chorus a little bigger somehow. Some higher pitched synth there or strings in the background, a little louder? It has a similar dynamic throughout which is not a bad thing to me, but I think it could be more interesting with some dynamic changes. Enjoyed it

    They Lied

    Hi Steve, thanks for listening and your feedback. I appreciate this forum so much and the advice I get here, several comments to make the lead vocal fit better. I had more trouble mixing this song than any other I have done for some reason, just a lot of stuff in the same frequencies and trying to get each part heard ok. Thanks for listening a few times too. I definitely will remix this and work at making the lead vocal more clear and with a stronger presence. I appreciate that your listens found the song and arrangement great and the vocals and lyrics work well, and the part that I have talent ha. Thank you, a pleasure to share it here.
  15. Sounds good, steady. Nice vocals. I was expecting a bit more going on in the low end?

    Hi Nigel. thank you for listening and your comment. Cool and working well is appreciated!
  17. Intro sets the song up well. Good arrangement, interesting changes. Love the guitars. Has a nice classic rock feel to it. Well done.

    Freedom

    Floaty. It does have a sense of freedom. I do love the pedal steel playing. It all works together nicely. Pleasing.
  19. Enjoyed it. Sentimental. Like traditional story telling song with fuller instrumentation. I like that your pleasing voice is so prominent and easy to understand as the words are meaningful and the theme universal. Nice choices, works well. Since the drums are plain I'm guessing this version isn’t with revised drums.
  20. Sounds really great. From the desert where the sky is big and the coyotes are regularly singing around here. . No campfires anymore, too dangerous, sadly. And on very rare occasion a rattle snake. Just a little more highs on your voice might add some more clarity. Love the mood and the story.
  21. Mellow. Very dramatic and emotion-full. Nice chords and choice of instruments. I like your voice and the fx on it. I like the repetitive piano riff. Interesting how something basic like that riff can be repeated over and over in some songs and feel like it belongs there as things behind it change. I think it sounds cohesively expressive and very well done.

    Hi Jesse, thank you for listening and your feedback. I will mess with making the lead vocal more clear and more prominent when I get back to this one. Glad to be hearing this feedback so I can improve it, especially the legibility. All me is all I have to work with ha. Oh the last line, I appreciate your mentioning it and how you feel about it. All the lines are important to me, but that's the nail in the coffin so to speak. I was told once although my speaking voice has lost my brooklyn accent, but my singing still has some ny accent in it. Like duh-feated, vs de-feated. Funny.

    Hi Martin, thanks for listening and for your comment. Yes, the lyrics are important to me as this started as a poem, so I appreciate the feedback that it's hard to understand. jack suggested I made the vocals louder and I will revisit this, so your suggestion to work on lyrics clarity with some uneffected vocal added in is a good idea too. Thanks!
  24. Did you play the fast note parts or use an arp? The guitar melody almost speaks. Nice unexpected changes and incoming instrumentation. It has a bit of a broadway feel here and there. The mix sounds well done. Good song.
