Inthorns Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 'ello all, It's amazing how long I've been at this AND how much I still have no idea what I'm doing half the time -Lolz! I'm hoping to get some ears on this and some ideas regarding final tweaks before 'mastering'. Any and all are welcome and will be considered, I'd very much appreciate your time. Thanks and be well, Ron 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark skinner Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Nice one. I think you're getting pretty close. My only real crits are the short intro , and the backing vocals coming in at 0:48. I think the intro could be 4 bars longer and built up more. It was just too quiet and rushed leading in to the full vocals. The backing at 48 seemed to be pushed too far back in the mix. Maybe blend in more of the held out backing vocals you used in most of the song in that section. The main vocals and harmony were Very nice. They could be smoothed out and glued to the mix a little better with some further compression. Great song with a fantastic chorus. I Very much enjoyed it .. mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynn Wilson Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Great song and arrangement! Yeah, a longer intro would be nice, other than that, this is a gem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timboalogo Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Nice job with the backing vocals - I always have trouble with them. I also like the arrangement, the bit at 2 minutes or so fit perfectly. The song builds beautifully from there. Timbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhonoBrainer Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Nice one, and I agree the intro needs more length, and the bgv's could take one step forward. Great lead vocal!!! So that's 90% of the game all set! Maybe the drums a bit more prominent? A bit more snap on the snare? Kudos to the bass player/programmer, those lines are perfect for this song! cool tune! cheers, -Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wookiee Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I agree you need to add a little suspense to the intro, just a few tweaks and there is a good song here to be had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornpdx Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Great song! I especially like the bassline which is mostly heard during the quieter parts (which could be due to my listening environment). -Bjorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inthorns Posted September 9, 2021 Author Share Posted September 9, 2021 'eyyyyy everyone, Sorry so long getting back guys. They're trying to slowly murder us at work with OT. I pulled 56hrs OT last week and 48 this week and I am BEAT ? Thank you all very much for the spin and the wonderful ideas in bettering this bastich. I am quite happy that you enjoyed it! We have begun to implement quite a few of your suggestions and to good result Funny; we initially had a 4 bar intro, but cut it down (likely to pander to the poor attention spans of the day). The bit at 48 seconds was supposed to come off as 'the guys on the couch', so I wanted it a bit distant. It does sound like the guys are on the couch butttt, it also sounds like the couch is in another room! Might have knocked them back a bit far -Lolz Can't thank you guys enough for your time and thoughts. My gratitude, - Ronnov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
