I recorded a song with my sister. Chick rock

[DanLights]

Feel guitars are still a bit too harsh and high in the mix, loving the bass, really solid and fits the song, your sister sings fucking good man

 

[joeymusicguy]

i say speed the song up by 5 or 10 bpm

 

[arv_foh]

as already mentioned the kick is too metal for the song but otherwise I like it

 

[cococo]

Great tune, like it!

+1

And use less auto-tune, but I doubt that'd happen

 

[thefyn]

Sounds great. What were your sansamp settings?

Oh yeah, gimme those drums samplze? hehe

I tried on a 10 second clip if some pseudo-mastering can do something to it so that it would be something more that I would enjoy listening... Well, it can, but I made the high end maybe a bit too muffled. The kick attack still sounds a bit too "heavy", I would drop it with a highshelf at 2khz like 6dB or so in the mix, and possibly even lowpass it at 6khz or so. First is "result" followed by the "original". It's a bit darker sounding, but still keeps the vocals in front.

if she ever records it again we definitely will. I noticed it needed it too after editing drums, but it was too late for me. Unfortunately i didn't have a lot of motivation of going back to change stuff like that since i did it for free and had limited time off for this

 

[jauernis]

a lot of radio potential but...(latest mix)..

-guitars are too gainy and high for her voice sound too plasticy
-mix is too muddy and bright (hard to explain) but there is no focus on her voice just feels like the vocals are just thrown in there making the song not flow like it could

but other than that I hope you redo this song... alot of potential!!!

 

[Dollarosa]

Really good song, agree with joey and speed it up abit. Mix is pretty good, but yea probably make the drums less metal

that was my first thought as well.

Wtf my image didn't load.


its supposed to say

OH NO NOT THIS SHIT AGAIN

 

[J.DavisNJ]

Really diggin' this man. I'm really not too picky about the mix either...considering you had a limited time and it was a gift for your sis! She has a great voice...very Paramore-esque.

I think this song is far better than anything Paramore have done.

You suck.

Meh, gonna have to disagree with you Sami..., but I do think it's on par with Paramore!

It kind of reminds me of "When it Rains."

Joe

 

[dani]

Oh, no

Not this shit again.

there's always one!

awesome mix brian, i agree with joey though, it's a bit slow, and the mess up with the vocals isn't really noticeable..!

thanks,

 

[Mikaël-ange]

I dig sonwriting of the song, really simple but work well. Sometimes it's cool to don't overlook about production. Lot of potential imvho

 

[brianhood]

that band's music is much better than this imo. her song originally had 2 different chord progressions for it, so i tried my best to change things up as much as possible. If i wrote a song from scratch for her, it would probably be a but more intricate than this though

thanks though dude!

 

[ruonitb]

I guess I'm the only one hearing that, but when I listen to this with my headphones, everytime at the beginning of the refrain (during the long "shine"), the vocals sound really weird...too bright, it almost hurts. :/

It's fine during the rest of the song though.
