Hi folks!

I have finally finished a first, early demo of my new song. It's only a rough mix and I can't change much at the moment. Kasimiruslav played the (real) guitars and the bass on this one. He also did the drum recording and made a rough mix. After that I added the vocals and all the other instruments such as e-piano, fake guitars and strings. I have to send him my recordings for a future version.

I posted this at an early stage because I'm curious about what you think.  Smiley

Cheers,

Tal

Talvin,

Sweet harmonies & a lush bass line...reminds me of The Smiths back in the 80's.

Very decent for a rough draft...look foward to the final cut. Afro

Good song as we are used to from you.

Like Elwood said, i hear the good bass line  Cool
But I have to listen very hard, it will need some work (compression, EQ,...) at the moment the only thing it does is blur the mix  Grin

Looking forward to this

Very nice work. Good song.

I agree the bass needs sorting out, and also think the vocal needs to come forward some.

OK. I reworked the vocals. The rest is up to Kasimiruslav. )

Hi Talvin,

    this song has great potential. You have a strong arrangement, and really interesting vocals and backing parts (nice bass too). I would agree with Kara, that the instruments need some massaging (EQ etc..) to get them to fit perfectly into place. If this is only a rough cut I can't wait to hear the final one  Grin

Thanks Mad.  Smiley

The "problem" is I only have an mp3 of the bass, drum and real guitar part so I can't work on it. The virtual instruments I used usually don't need much EQqing.

Just had time to listen to it. A definite improvement. Nice and clear now with more presence.

Great song, Talvin. Top quality.

The sound quality of the track isn't that great at the moment ( even sounds a bit distorted at times) But I take it that will be fixed in the definite version.

I would probably give the chorus a bit more body. But that's a remark I've made once before so never mind me.

Thanks.  :)I can't mix the song as I don't have all the audio files I'd need. I sent Kasimiruslav my vocal takes and all the virtual stuff. I am sure he will work on the sound. There was some clipping in the wav file he sent me.

Yup, that's what I understood.

An impressive song with many nice melodies and solid construction, I like your vocal touch on it.
Well done

Talvin, this is a very good song.

Clean it up a tad, it’s been said previously so I will not reiterate, and it will sound great.  But this is a super start!
