Johnbee58 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Good rock tune. The octave vocal work is very effective and a nice touch. ?John B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhonoBrainer Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Love that guitar riff. And the other one with the phaser (flanger?) Vocals egg-sell-int!!! Another great one from you. Mix-wise I'd suck away a lot of the boom from those drums, and rein in the bass guitar as well. cheers, -Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegaltieribrothers Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Hi Douglas, Love the booming drums at the start which announce a great rock tune which does not disappoint. Great lyrics and fantastic guitar solo - well played. Thanks for sharing. Good Job! regards paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garybrun Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 This a good song with good lyrics. Sounds a little boomy to me. Once again ... well done. I always state this... but we all paint very different pictures... these are just my personal views and what I would have done and in no way is it meant to diminish the work you have done here. I am listening on Focal TRIO6 BE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am listening on Focal TRIO6 BE I agree with Gary - great melodies and lyrics but there is some digital distortion with the final mix/master 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelhanson Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I would back off the reverb on the drums in this production. They get lost in this mix and need to be a more prominent part of the song to drive it along. I’m not sure what’s going on with the Bass because I’m not hearing it well either? Those two elements becoming more prominent in the mix would help this production a lot. Great lyrics, vocals and guitar play! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornpdx Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Douglas Another great rock song though I have to say it sounds a bit like your others. Not that that takes anything away - I like the song and I admire the musicianship - but I think you could vary the formula a little. Love the guitar and vocal as always. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
