  1. OK .... that's a hard one to quantify, in that, we all hear and mix to our own idea of what the overall work should sound / convey like when mixing, we sometimes (well I do ) get too engrossed with the song and forget the nuances that inevitably will make our work stand out .. That's why the pro's use high end engineers ! But that said, Bandlab gives you a pretty good set of tools to do a pro job .. indeed there are still great engineers that use Sonar Platinum (Now owned by Bandlab .. thankfully ) due to the fact it's a fantastically great way to make your own music.... the future is yours mate and I wish you good luck, from here I hear a very polished songwriter! But for my bit, I would look into the 'Stereo Imager st-2s' (NOMAD) for the main mix on a separate BUS (No vox on this) Then backing vox on another Bus (slightly higher in the mix ) and you vocal on another bus with a tad of 2s to make it 'settle in to the overall sound. At 1.21 to 1.40 the bass drum ,echo? not sure ... but that's where I think the timing went adrift or sounds like it has / at 1.44 I feel the snare could be reduced a tad. Well that's my neck right out there for the butcher .. guys on this site don't take prisoners and I'm sure they'll blow this comment apart .. but that's just the vertical curve ..ain't it ! Great song and I've listened to it quite a few times now .. BTW always poke the quote if you wanna flag a question as I only see your comment by accident! Keep writing and stay well Steve

    My word David, where do you start with something as complicated as this !? I also had to look Tone Poem up ...on the 2nd listen I got the story .. at least I think I did! Some bits making me sad or jump or laugh ... a journey indeed ! One of your real high end bits of work .. thankyou for the post and effort, Steve
  4. I'm liking the feel of this, the guitar work is very much Pink Floyd'ish in places ... but it's got a kind of Santana 'feel .as well. Yep liking it a lot .. good jam? Steve
  5. Great story, Had to listen twice cause there's a lot going on ... left a comment on YT Steve
  6. Great song, great vocal work and your skill with the instruments is of a high standard .. But the mix is off and as you said the timing in parts needs to be really tightened up (play with the transients not sure if that's gonna help in this example) ... Thing is I really like this song and I think Nigel has a point regarding the vocal .. Overall for a first attempt, and bearing in mind the difficulties of this DAW I would say, for my pennyworth it's an excellent attempt, great songwriting ! Steve
  7. Such a clean mix, unmistakably your stamp , lyrics fit perfectly but most all love the guitar break .. really great song, really fits my life ..... LOL Stay safe Steve

    Just a quickie .seems that YT have cottoned on , tried loads of uploading formats however it just would play ball ? ...but thanks anyway I'll keep trying (or another site ?!) Al the best Tom
  9. Well I think you just raised the bar ... out a sight ! Excellent work Lynn ?? Stay well Steve
  10. Really enjoyed this . you got talent mate and what a great voice to record ! As a comment I would have cut the bass quite a bit but that would have been a BIG mistake, having listened to this. I love the ambience of this mix and stereo separation. Kudos for the vocal work, you did a dam good job because that's a powerful voice and getting rid of the 'plosive' content would ruin the whole thing .. (did I just go out for the evening ? 'cause it feels like it ).LOL Wouldn't expect anything else from you .. great job ...getting gushy again tush ? Stay well my friend Steve
  11. All good here ...like the song loads ... I have no intention of hijacking this post BUT did our Mr Lynn Wilson give the FOO FIGHTERS A hand with the vocal work on Dave's 'waiting on war' Cause it sounds just like him ..... LOL

    Thanks Keith, if you read through some suggestions ( which I always take on board ) , some of my pears have suggested exactly that, hence the laughter emogee, It didn't work for me when I tried putting a drum and bass track on, most probably due to my skill level or preference when listening to it .. Anyway I hope you get the emogee thing, cause I wouldn't want to offend ? and many thanks for your input & comment. ATB Steve

    A WORD

    I have to agree with you Andy, after reading Kurt's comment, it made me feel that drums and bass could pull the melody out and it hadn't occurred to me while writing the song .. so I have tried laying complimentary bass with a drum track, just to get a feel .. maybe it's my skill level but it spoiled the 'message' and has not worked so I wont be returning to this song with a view to alter it. Thankyou for listening and the helpful comments.? Steve

    Thankyou for the comment Treesha, it may be of interest to note that I recorded this song using platinum then mastered it on my Tascam 688 to get the analogue feel after which I used Power Director for the video plus the Tascam track ... bit nerdy but just putting it out there in case of any interest.? Steve
