This is the soft song

 

[KeithRT99]

sounds pretty good to me, but the mastering compression is too much.

gimme more guitars !!!!
vocals take over them often. sometimes I can't hear the guitar riffs.

By the way, what is you signal chain for your vocals ?? Sounds pretty good.

Yeah, you got a nice part in the end with some overdubbed guitar melodies, but the vocals are so all over it that it lost its impact you know ?!

Alrighty ! And the hardware chain ? I've seen your Twintrak and the M-Box. What mic did you use for vocals ??

About the song, for me there is too much vocals, all over the song. But I am more into progressive kind of stuff, with extensive instrumental/solo part. Also not a big fan of the swedish/flamish style.So DON'T pay real attention to what I am saying

Anyway it's a quite work you're offering us. I am sure a lot of people will love it.

Hard to say, at least for me, with all the intruments, are drums still programmed ??? I would say yes, 'cause the snare sounds like it is.

[azzxaa]

tnx! its my first real try to make a good song and mix

I think the guitars should sound more aggressive. They lack impact, imo.

I do like the song though.

hmm diffrent eqing or ?

not sure...I'm as noob as they come.

I guess my main gripe is the palm mutes sound a little furry and don't smack me in the face. It's like they are too thin sounding or something.

I'd definitely smack the guitars up with some more mids, probably around 300-800Hz.

Other than that you got it spot on Awesome songwriting, awesome vocals, awesome production. Nice!
