CARS - GARY NUMAN COVER - Guitar Heavy Remix

[PavlovsCat]

I originally recorded this a year ago as my son was about to get his driving permit. I since decided to remix it, bringing up the electric guitars to make it more aggressive than my earlier mixes. I already anticipated people asking me to bring up my voice in the mix and I turned it up as loud as I can handle it! Any constructive criticism is welcomed.

I have no criticism, constructive or otherwise.  Sounds great to me.  Really enjoyed it.

Sounds Ok the vocal does sound or feel a little rushed to these furry ears.

@Larry T. Thanks for the kind remarks, it's greatly appreciated. This is the mix with the synths mixed up front and guitars mixed lower.

they're both good in their own ways....i prefer the synth-centric version ????

Like Larry I prefer the Synth dominate Mix.

Great cover PC.

Just thinking - as the title is Guitar Heavy Remix, you could try EQ-ing the bass slightly at 150Hz; if you push it up a little you should get some deep bass to go with the heavy/aggressive aesthetic. The downside is that you'll 'lose' some thud from the kicks, but you can try some subtle sidechaining/ducking.

Sounds good as is though!
