D20 - My band's first song

The mix is nice, seems you used a good studio/producer, the song itself is interesting, everyone seems to have their shit together in your band so good luck!!!

Thanks for commenting! Very happy you liked it!!! I'm pretty proud of my bassline. The constant tapping during the verse was hard to pull off, but the more i practiced it, the easier it got. Thanks again!

Many thanks!!! I and the rest of the band actually recorded the whole song at my home studio (a room in my garage). I'm really glad you liked the mix though...guess i am doing something right mixing and mastering. ;)
 
SONG:
Nice catchy song, great composition and arrangement. Cool vocals (melody and singing), the "running" (don't know a better English word for it) bass-line is a perfect contrast to the vocals.

MIX:
The frequency-spectrum is very well laid out and sounds great overall, even when compared to commercial/pro mixes! Level-wise, I would feature the main (not the harmony/backing vox, keep them lower) vocals a bit more by just making them a bit louder, they seem to get buried a bit in the mix. Also, they could deserve some more compression (or a different - 1176LN-style! - compressor maybe) as the drums are compressed to death and the vocals sound a bit "unproduced" beneath them.
The bass is great sounding - as always - but a tiny bit too loud for my taste, while the guitars are a dB or two too low in level.
I would play with hard panning L or R the "fx-guitars" just before the middle of the song, they are in the dead center and fighting the vocals a bit.
You have a good ear for a good mix for sure!

Thanks RiF!

I'm really happy with this one! I wrote the majority of this song, and I'm really happy especially with my bass line! I'll have to play around with the panning of the guitars a bit. You are correct they are dead center....the fx guitars at least. Thanks for checking it out and letting me know what you think! Always appreciate it!!! :D

Kicks ass ;) ;) I`d buy and support yeahs :cool:

Can't wait to hear more of it.
Actually I noticed that you played the guitars and the bass, the drums sound programmed to me (by you as well, I guess) and a singer. So how many members does your band have?
 
Nice song. I'd lower the bass guitar a bit, at least the lower frequencies. It's too dominant for my tastes. Maybe also bring up guitars a notch if lowering the bass of bass guitar doesn't do it.

I played a good bit of the instruments on this one. My guitarist tracked the clean and rhythm stuff mainly. We have 5 members = 1 singer, 1 guitarist, 1 guitarist/DJ/turntables, 1 bassist (me :D ), and a singer. I basically video tape my drummer at practice and program what he plays. Its easier that way.

Agreed! :D

When I heard our DJ scratching that part i laughed so hard!!! :lol:

I thought it fit perfectly!!!
 
A really good mix. The bass is actually really loud. At times it's a good thing but in the verses it's even louder than the vocals.

I like the genre, singer and song! Good job!
