Hi all please give a listen if you would. Thanks
Done a link for now
Keep an eye on the preview on the right hand side. A player will appear after it has been uploaded.
ok cheers
Sounding great Alan!
Balance-wise I can’t hear anything that sounds out of place.
1:36 there is a click in the left channel that coincides with the word “to”. Also, around 4 mins on the word “come”, and on the following whispered repeats of the same word in that breakdown. It sounds like a similar type of clic - edits perhaps?
Apart from that, excellent.
Just a suggestion: I think you could utilise some more sub lows in this track and create some real moments to enhance the long term dynamics. For example, when it comes out of the breakdown into the final choruses, if you added some nice deep, tight sub lows to the kick there, it would really give a sense of a “drop” happening. You could certainly use it at other times in the song too.
Cheers for the great feedback .Will look into that
I agree with Andrew, this is top-notch. No nits to pick at all-- I would never have heard that click at 1:36 that he caught. (the man’s ears are pretty amazing!)
It’s got a very cool vibe and the vocalist is outstanding. Bit of Tori Amos, Sarah McLachlan…
The only (constructive) criticism I would give is that the song is quite long with a lot of repetition. If this is intended as a dance track, that’s probably not an issue at all. But for holding listening interest, it’s a bit lengthy. When the breakdown came along at 4 min I was hoping that afterwards there would be something different, but it went right back to pretty much the same thing. I realize that as mature as this recording is, going back and making big changes to the entire song is probably not going to happen. Just tossing it out there for “situational awareness.”
Thanks very much for the feedback. Good to hear positive comments.
Ive tried to upload the file but it just wont have it, I’ve tried three times now
Don’t know why it wont.
Can you email it to me? it’s bryan@rustyfrets.com
I’ll see what’s going on there and help upload it
Cheers Bryan sent it
Really good, the only thing I would say is I think I would reduce highs a touch on that acoustic guitar? playing steadily in the background from the beginning of the song until she starts singing.
Got it! It’s because of the file size. I had to correct this on the server before and forgot to do it again after a major rebuild that I did. It’ll work after a bit. Sorry for the inconvenience
Oh right ok.Cheers for looking into it
takka360, what snare is that? I like it.
Not a clue it came with the tracks its not a sample. I just mixed .Well not a sample I added I mean.
Sounding great Alan! Perhaps a little bit too bright to my ears, but I suppose it’s a taste and genre thing.
Overall, great clarity and punch. Top job! :beerbang:
too bright ,maybe I need to look into my monitors and room more
Is that not the mastering engineers job tho .?
Yeah, you might be right. I just assumed it was “mastered” already.
Only by myself at home
