"high definition" in process...

[st robert]

i'm in the process of redoing all bass and guitar parts for this tune, but along the way would like input from you, my esteemed brothers in womb, on mix, parts, etc.

Cool tune St. Bob! Listening on comp speakers so don't get excited.

Maybe the vox need to come up in the first verse, or the Rhoadesy keys come down, they seem to be fighting with each other.

If you're redoing the drums you won't have to worry about the tom rumble @2:06 and a few other spots... sounds cool just not with my crappy sub.

That second part that leads into the "high definition" chorus could be much shorter, I see the tune is pretty long so it wouldn't hurt I don't think. Talking musically rather than lyrically here. I"m not much of a lyrics guy except for what pops out at me, but that part lost me some. Although if it was short it might be cool as a little transition part into the hook. That's just an opinion though, I realize it's kinda a main part so you should probably forget it.

The bridge/breakdown/ quiety part or whatever @2:36 is cool. The vox in it I found kind of distracting from the groove of weirdness.

Maybe bigger guitars. Maybe less guitars? Too busy? I dunno something's not grabbing me and I think the guitars are the problem.... in the verses not the High Def part of the chorus.

Could be an excellent tune, but it needs more focus.

My immediate impression on the mix is that it sounds like somebody threw a towel over it. It's pretty muffled. I'm not a fan of the typically over-hyped highs that some "prog" stuff has, so it'd be nice to hear a song like this with a dark mix. But it's not dark - it's just muffled.

Hope you're not offended by the "prog" pigeonhole - lack of a better term and all that. Good work so far, though.

thanks for the listen, and i agree it could be a great song. it just needs a boost, and i think that the guits will probably carry the majority of that burden, although the vox at the end isn't too inspired, so that'll help as well.

i caught a cold so that set back the vocals an xtra couple weeks. vox tracking starts back up tomorrow or wednesday for this bastard. i should be able to mold it into art barring any viruses, computer or otherwise.

stay tuned.

I'd be chuffed if I ever recorded anything this good.
Listening on new cans.

Hi...again disclaimer (I wish I could make a mix sound this good) and if I could...I'd roll a tiny bit off the overheads..they are bugging me a little. Then again I cant mix for shit just feel obligated to try and help as people have helped me here.

Nice one!

[st robert]

no, shit....

i totally agree. about 3-4 db of the ohs.

stand by...

Great song, great sections. Love the melody and harmonic movement. I'd like to hear more point on the kick and more character in the bass guitar, both seem to have abundant low end but not much "high definition." cheers!

Sounds good St. Bob. For some reason the guitars ain't buggin me as much. Technically they don't sound that great mostly but as a production call the sound adds nicely to the feel, the sorta sloppy balls to the walls way they're played makes it work. Still a hair busy maybe but I think thats just me opining.

The vox in the break or bridge are working way better now, but I had a thought while listening, how bout washing them in verb? Like mute the vox except for the verb send from it and run a hall on it. Might not fit at all or it might add to the spacies.

Nice job tho, focus is good and I'm groovin on it.
