Thanks for the comment.

I use this song as my sound check song to tune the PA when I'm doing gigs these days. I design this tune specifically for this purpose. The mix is studio flat and allows for the subs and high end to be adjusted to the room without having a ton of other dynamic effects distracting me while I'm correcting acoustic problems before a show.

I don't post much online anymore since I've been very busy the last couple of years doing other stuff which leaves me almost no time to get my head back into creating music.

Once again thanks for the comment. I'm reactivating a bunch of the stuff I posted a long time ago. So if you liked this check out the other tunes I have on this site so far.

WOW! Now that's hot!

Great transitions, edits and use of effects. What is the editing program you used to put this together? I'm considering getting the latest Sony Vegas Pro release to start doing music video's for bands again.

Wonderful song!

I don't have to understand the lyrics to know a really excellent song. The melody and arrangement says it all.

The only thing important with this type of song is that your totally happy with the finished product.

Great song. The hook is

"you'll always be in my heart, in my soul, in my mind
Searched everywhere, but your love wasn't easy to find,".

Might want to try the rest of the chorus as a C vocal break part after a short lead part and see what happens.

Play around with the song lyrics and arrangement some more.

Only gave you 4 because I think you can do it better than this version.

What works for me is the guitar track and the lyrics.

You might be better off dropping the the drum loop completely. Sounded out of place on this tune. Try ad-libbing the drums part in real time with a drum machine working off the guitar track.

Bump your vocals up in the mix and try adding a little bottom to your vocal range between 630hz to 800hz and see if you like the way that sounds.

Good song. Play around with it some more.

Both mixes are so close that it is really hard to tell them apart. I do like the effect it gives. Now if for some insane reason you centered the vocal from the right mix, mono tracked the drums and bass into the center still keeping the mixes in each speaker the same and laying the center track about 6 db down I think it might produce a real fat sound.

You wonder why we go through all this trouble? The answers simple. It's an incurable disease. PerfectoMusicaTromboses or something even more unpronounceable.

Wonderful song.

Had me banging my head on the table. The drums are real tight. I won't be able to tell if the kick is right until I get the LSR 4312 Sub for the studio next month. It sounds about right on the LSR's with 8" speakers. The mix seems a little too flat. Try adding adding a lite shelf bump (2-3db) to the highs after 2.5khz to 4khz and see how it sounds.

I'm not that big of a fan of hip-hop but I know a really good song when I hear it. This one makes the grade because it moves the genre forward.

Good work. Keep having fun.

Great playing on the violin. The reason I didn't give you five stars all around is that I found the distorted guitar sound detracting from the rest of the instruments. Try panning this hard left in the mix. Also use the some panning automation to move the violin just a little to the right and left of center.

The bass line works really well. Since your experimenting with things make two copies of the full bass track pan one left, one center and one right then do a different equalization on each track. Make the center one more in the sub range, left mid range and the right more in the high mid range then play with the tonal mix you get from this.

Also use the automation on the volume to bring each different part in and out of the mix.

Nice work. Play around with this tune some more.
Tech Time by Dawgs4Kats 5 years ago
Just a note here. The song was done completely on acoustic guitar except for the wind sounds which I did with my voice. There was no electronic keyboard sounds used to make this tune.

You got it going on.

One suggestion, Try switching to a dry snare during vocal part or maybe doing some sort of phasing into a hip hop kit and out again. The lady on the background vocals works real good with your voice. Great lyrics.

Real solid song.

Here's what you need to do. Don't listen to this tune for two weeks then come back to it and ask yourself what's wrong with this mix and then fix it.

You have a good voice and the track sounds solid don't bury your voice in the mix or with effects.

Play with the volume levels and if you have host program with automation use it to bring the different segments of the song in at the correct levels. Also play with the panning on your instruments.

Good solid work. Now make it sound like a song you never heard before playing on the radio.
Heartbroken by RaeRose 5 years ago
Like the lyrics. Like to see them posted with the song.

What are using for a mic because it sounds like your overloading the input gain. Try holding the mic at least 2 to 3 inches away from your mouth and make sure the input level stays out of the red.

Really nice production. Clean mix. Like the panning on the guitars but try bringing both L-R pans to the 2:00 position during the chorus section then as it goes into the next verse section reverse the guitars and see how that sounds.

Now that you did it the way it was done 13 years ago. What would you add or do to bring the tune up to date?

Excellent arrangement.

Tell the story above in the lyrics that this song needs. Try to do the lyric from the point of view of Sita then it becomes a love story.

From all the rest of the songs in this series you have the makings of lyrical modern opera. Put down the guitar and start writing the lryics.

I like the groove and feel on this jam. It's a really good start for a serious piece so you need to add a chorus, bridge and lyrics. Your playing style on guitar is really tight and precise. So maybe what you need to do is a tight verse then go loose for the chorus and wide in the break.

On the lyric side. The groove reminds me of Autumn. Something about leaves falling, colors changing, maybe sort of a reflective tune. Think about a something in the past like a summer crush or love that only wnet so far. if I think of something for the lyrics I'll do a download and lay down a rough vocal. Adding you to my favorites list.
