X-53mph Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 (edited) Hi guys, It's been a while since I've posted a song. Once again I'm trying to get a track over the finish line. It's so nearly there. This is the mix straight out of Cakewalk, no mastering yet. Any advice warmly received. Cheers guys. Quick note: as Wookie said, some of the themes and language in the song may offend. I want to stress that I wrote this song many years ago, it is in no way connected to current world events. The story played out in the song is influenced by a 1970s film called Badlands staring Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek. I'm sorry if it may offend some, however, I think we're all grown ups. ?

Wookiee Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 I have to ask @Philip G Hunt what drums are you using? I like the song but there is something about the drums, especially in the opening. On a side note it might be worth mentioning that it contains language that may offend some. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I recently added some extra guitar to the intro to beef up the sound. I don't know if it's lacking. More a case of, does anything sound off? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm, the drums come from a very early drum pack in Dropzone with either Sonar or Projects. What is it that you're not sure about the drums?

DeeringAmps Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 I’m listening on the phone via Bose wireless cans. I don’t hear anything “off”. HTH t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is it that you're not sure about the drums? It could just be me, I had spent several hours working with a Superior Drummer 3's, Rooms of Hansa, Marble room kit, which are quite lively and bright, prior to listening to your track. The result was the kit sounded a little boxy and flat to my furry ears. If you are happy then that is all that really matters. Your music your choices. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry T. Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 track it....that is a real nice song, production, vox....the whole shebang....my personal taste would change the solo guitar to clean with no, or very little distortion, take some reverb off the vox and maybe edit out a verse or two to shorten the length....enjoy listening to it as is ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
