I wrote a pop song for a songwriting contest

[everybody's x]

not even close to metal

I like the song but it's missing that energy during certain parts especially the chorus...the guitars dont seem to be up to par with the power of the vocals during the chorus. What are u using for guitars? I dont like the snare either (ezdrummer?)...but all in all I like the song a lot!! and not sure if you were going for it...but a bit more work into it and i hear this on the radio!! and let me know if you are still going to work on it cause i would really like to hear the outcome!!

For 8 hours, this is amazing. Did you sing this as well?

I pulled the guitars back on purpose, they are looking for pop-diva radio bullshit. It's the most vocal forward mix I've ever done. I considered not using any heavy guitars at all but I couldn't stand the idea

yep thats the stock ez snare

I have a bunch of songs that are too poppy for my band to ever play so I figured I should do something with them

yep, I usually sing in d-standard, this is in e-standard and it was a bitch (as you can probably tell haha)

I like your voice. Keep up the good work.

Reminds me of the lighter Demons & Wizards and Iced Earth stuff.

thanks a lot!
I sent them 6 songs so we'll see what shakes out

 

[AudioPhile777]

Wow... surprised me...

Sounds really good... sounds like a throwback to Soundgarden/Pearl Jam era (when they were awesome)...

missing a little power in comparison, but i like it.
