I mean heavier sounds, bit more agressive and yes you could say darker mood. IMO that can contain a positive energy too.

But anyway this tune is good as it is now, no need to make it heavier......

Ok this is the final mix, I promise It's punchier and it has a new intro that it needed! The intro sounds so good it even sounds like samples, but its real drums with some delay on the rimshots.

Here's one I did with some Jazz type folks this weekend. Its sort of a Jazz funk thing. I am calling it: Coffee Buzz I am doing the bass work on this one jamming with these guys.

Thanks jstunner.

Really? I find it full of highs on my stereo... but well I don't even have monitors to control better...

Cheers.

Thanks for the feedback, superpenguin79 (linux fan?).

I agree it could be louder for the first part of the song... I tried that, but then I find the transition to the fuller part disappointing... that is, what should sound a lot stronger than the guitar and voice ends up sounding less present then them...
How would you do it so that it is still big change in volume when every instrument enters?

Thanks.

Thank you BadPerson (not that bad to me I'd say)

It actually seems that "Do you remember" gets more votes...
Thanks for the good words.
Cheers

Re: new Overnight Lows
 

cool, I will re-work it into a full band version as is then. Thanks again for the listen. peace

Hey Wonderfall, lol long story about the penguin thing actually.... Lets just say I play in a band that has a fan that attempted to guess who I was to win a prize on a message board and guessed that I was a penguin that followed her around while playing guitar and asking for bannana's.... anywho....

you could maybe try some panning tricks when the full band comes into the mix man. For example, maybe leave the acoustic and your vocals pretty centered for the song til the full band comes in and then have everything come in from the right and left all at once to hit the listener. I like doing that with distorted guitars on rock bands to make the band hit personally. heheh Let me know how it goes, and if you like feel free to e-mail me and we could chat also anytime. peace

Re: Overnight Lows
 

Joz,
Hey man, I really like the intro you did with that tune. I would actually mess with it and that little "warble" sound I would build even more before the song starts in. I would maybe even try to CUT the drums completely out right before so all you would hear was that effect and then "BOOM!" the tune would start up. Sounds good though and those are just some other ideas. I think a stronger build would make it even more of a powerful entry to the song starting.

Nice use of filtering and cutting too.

Hey Doc, I like the cutting the drums idea! I'll mess around with that tonight.
