Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
 

Hi All,

I have a new song up on my webpage and would love to hear any opinions you might have. Whether about the composition itself, the mix, the playing, singing - whatever.

You can give it a listen right here:

Make Me Over

Thanks so much for any feedback!!

Good rock song!.......I think it could have rocked more if the drums were a little more under played. The singer is good but the track could have sat in the mix a little better with some compression (1176) and hit it hard. All in all though, I liked it.

Thanks for the kind words! I was just curious about the statement above. Do you mean that the drums should be less prominent in the mix or that the playing is too busy?

Thanks again. I love all the help I can get!

Just my opinion, but If the drums were not played as not busy as they were the song would have grooved a little more and not sounded choppy. I hear some kick/snare that may be a little busy and land in the wrong spots. Getting some drummers to hold back a little is tough sometimes. Quite often overplaying tends to step on parts of the song and give it an untight vibe. It`s a hard thing to nail, but it`s fun to keep trying.

So I posted this a few weeks back I think? It was rough, but we tweeked it, changed the words to reflect current events and wha la. My client of a young 20 years old wrote this for me as events that have happened to me in the past year +. Such a killer tune just as it really hits home as it was written for me. Funny, Sad, but true.... So the re-tweeked are for pre-pro stuff. Drums, etc will be on this in due time. This was straight sounds from Pre's and Compressors into my Apogee. Really happy with it and as it developes it should be a sweet song.

Chain was:

RODE NTk - X73i - 1176 - Apogee
Guitar Body - TLM-103 - API - Distressor - Apogee
Guitar Neck - GT55 - X73i - Distressor - Apogee

Reverb was TL SPACE - Plate Medium 140.

Some fine tuning yet to be done, but so far I dig it. Vocals came out clean and clear at least.

Enjoy,

Though I'd throw my stuff in the mix.

I produced my band Crescent Shield. I did it all at home with ProTools LE Digi 001, Presonus preamp, Win 98, Waves Plugins, and traditional drums, bass, gtr and vocals. How's the production?

Hey Doc,

It's been a while since I've done any posting up on this thread. I doubt you would remember, but you helped me out a lot a year or so ago with one of my songs. So, thanks again for that.

Anyway, I just listened to your song and I have to say it sounds really good to me. The vocal style / arrangement reminds me of Martin Sexton - although with a bit more grit in the voice. You (and so many others on the DUC) continue to inspire me.

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
 

Caveat,
Thanks for the comments and compliments. This tune is a bit more important to me as it directly relates to events in my life. Too funny really. Thanks for checking it out. I will post more new songs later.

Thanks,
Doc

Roy, nice work man! I dig the tempo changes on this one, gives it very cool dynamics.

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
 

Yeah Roy. Very tasty and retrained piece. Like it a lot.
