Song tracked on Neve/SSL with real drums

[RevoltStudios]

I'm still changing things but my ears are poop and have been for a few weeks thanks to shows. Thought I'd still post what I have so far. All real drums, guitars are 4 tracks reamped through Voodoo modded Triple Rec, Splawn Quickrod, and a 1970's Plexi all original. Mastering was me for this ditty, I WONT be doing it when the song is done. Art Pro VLA2 with NOS tubes then Maserati mastering plugin and L3.

I'm thinkin I gotta work on the verse vocals a little more. lol

 

[TheGuerilla]

It sounds great to me ! What is the difference between the Art Pro VLA2 without and with NOS tubes ?

 

[dcb]

nice sound overall!
are you gonna mix this on the consoles too?

 

[xTomx]

Maybe a little muddy and dark but it still sounds great!

 

[RevoltStudios]

I agree on the dark, I think I may have that bass up way too loud. I won't be mixing on a console for this one. I'm just not used to it enough to trust getting a great finished product. The VLA without better tubes is slightly cloudy and muddy.

 

[Mago]

Sounds nice,overall!
Vocals sound very autotuned overall though...
Also is there even bass in there allready?
edit: heared it at the beginning but the rest of the song sounds very bass-less

 

[Charlez]

I like the overall sound too, but as Mago said, the song seems bass-less throughout, and
the whole thing lacks energy. Also, I don't think I'm bothered by the tuned vocals as much,
I think it's the harmonies that sound so unnatural to me.

 

[Scott Horner]

Fireflight? I agree it sounds a bit dark.

 

[Tim HLAH]

i think the overal darkness kind of adds a good element to the song.
i would just crank the bass. sounding good though.

after listening a while il have to agree with the vocals being a little too confined with the autotune

 

[xTomx]

Wait, is this mixed yet or not, I'm confused now.

Also, the AutoTune is a bit brutal

 

[RevoltStudios]

I feel you on the no bass thing. Going back to it I hear that issue. There's a hole in the lows I dislike now. Thanks for that. The vocals I'm going to redo. I just switched to Autotune from Melodyne for a try and I overdid it on the verses. Harmonies as well. Back to the drawing board! Appreciate your input guys!

It's quite 'dead', especially the drums. They sound good, but there's no sustain, no ring, no roominess. Makes the song quite boring.
