Knockin on heavens door, cover mix

[The DuoBros]

Hi everybody i decide to record one classic song by Bob Dylan - Knockin on heavens door, here is demo mix so you can listen how it sounds....

[Eric Parsons]

Nice version.  I really like the lead vocal.  Good job!

Nice harmonies and the reverb on the main vocal works.  Good tone on the acoustic as well.  What mic setup?

[Wookiee]

This along with Lay Lady Lay is one of my Dylan favourites, you appear to have done it justice, though a tad to much reverb on the vocal for my personal taste. 

[Everett colbert]

Beautifully done!

 Great Job ! I Really like the Big reverb on the vocals. It works Very well on this particular song . Well sung and Beautiful harmony. If you are looking for any suggestions ..  I would look at the length of the harmony voice on the word "door" in the choruses. I felt like it was held out too long . Maybe just a cut and fade on the tail end letting it shut down with the main vocal would make it sit better. I sure wouldn't re sing it . Just my first impression.. Nice bass line and overall mix as well.  Enjoyed it ..   mark

Nice vocals all the way around.  Love the sound of the electric bass and the electric guitar that is panned right.

The acoustic guitar panned left sounds as though you recorded the piezo pickup signal instead of using a microphone.  My personal taste is I'd rather hear the guitar instead of the pickup.

You might want to try and figure out a way to blend the electric and acoustic guitar sounds.  One way is by just panning the guitar channels.  For this song a better way might be to take advantage of the reverb.  Place the reverb on a buss and run a send for both guitars through the reverb buss.  Then pan the guitar sends so the reverb of the electric guitar is on the left and the reverb of the acoustic guitar is on the right.

Thank you for tips you give me, but what kind of reverb is good for guitars (room, plate, hall?)

really nice job on vox and playing, enjoy it very much....the wood is all there, now it all depends on how you want to use the mix to build it into a creation of your taste ????
