Description : Been A while since I put something new up. Been working on this when I can find the time. This is my busy season as a UPS driver so finding time is tough. Lot's of OT. This might be the first song I have posted without a lead guitar. :) I just have not had the time to give it a proper lead. Opinions, comments and reviews welcomed. The last 1 minute or so definitely needs work as I didn't get to fine tune the sound and clean it up.
Thanks for listening.

Nice southern sound, lonestar music? I definitely dig the overall sound and you have some cool chops on that guitar. Some of the transitions seem less fluid though and that takes out some of the overall punch this has. Also i really think its the wrong snare drum on here, too high in sound, might be taste though. Keep it gritty, cheers man

Thanks brosef. I suck at drums and don't really know how to alter shit. I really need to get better at flushing things out and cleaning my tracks up. I tend to move on to the next song in my head.
Thanks for the listen and feedback.

Powerful stuff right here! Your guitar/bass playing is very professional sounding. I'd be shocked if it's not the case. There is a quality difference with your guitar/bass and your drums. I'm sure your guitar and bass was played live, and is not synthetic. Your drums may be, however that is fine. Might I recommend using a specific reverb setting on whatever program you use. Preferably something such as "Big Room" where the drums can have that more realistic sound, as oppose to it sounding...not robotic persay, but to clean. And there's nothing wrong with getting a little dirty. ;)

Nevertheless, I absolutely enjoyed this! Faved! Take care, and keep this up!

Thanks Ookami, yeah I agree the drums need better treatment to sound "live" and fit in more. Will have to work on my drum production skills. Appreciate you taking the time to listen and leave a comment.

Gritty, Dirty, Driven and just down-home-style rock.. loved it. Awesome groove. as I listen to this my head is shaking up and down to this beat. It needs a Chris Cornell like vocal to complete this.
great work

I seem to be having the opposite problem to you. Signed off work with far too much time and not enough money. Anyway, this is sounding like a solid bit of rock music. It doesn't matter that theres no lead because the rhythm is fat. Niceley blended with the bass and the drums which are also very good.
You should tell UPS to stick it and make more tunes because i for one am enjoying your style.

Right on Bro...I would love to tell UPS to stick it. If it was a 9 to 5 job I could tolerate it, but they force the OT down your throat. I agree most of the song holds up without a lead guitar. A couple parts need something. Either a tasty guitar lick or an Organ/Keyboard. Appreciate you giving it a listen and leaving some feedback.

Question is that do you use cutting before mix or not?
Best, Danke

topvega replied 19th Nov 2013 - 11 years ago
Thanks Danke...not sure what you mean by cutting? I usually record my takes and then if there are spots that need cleaning up I will punch in where needed. After I get my takes to where I like them I will start EQ'ing each track. Fine tuning tone and smoothing out any conflicting frequencies.

It's tracks like this that make me wish the vocals that come out of my face were as good as the ones that stay in my head.

Thanks man....I know that feeling well. Most of my tracks have some type of accompanying vocals...in my head. Getting them on to a track is a whole different story. I appreciate you taking the time to listen and leave a comment.

Description : This is my newest creation, at a stage very near to completion. No third-party mastering or mixing, as with all my tracks. Just have to fix a few tiny things. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO MIX EVERYTHING IN THE SAME SESSION. This song has all human-played instruments - no quantization or MIDI! My brother does all the vocals except for the interlude part, which I do. My other brother plays the rhythm guitar (a Gibson Les Paul Custom - only one of 12 in the world!!) and I play the accompanying guitar (a Johnny Mar Jag and PRS). He has a lot of guitars :P A good friend of ours, Ronnie, plays the bass and another friend, Freddie, plays the drums. The drum track was done in one take (had to use an electric drum set due to time constraints - but acoustic kits are so much better). Overall, pretty satisfied with the result. Let me know your thoughts.

Description : The first track I sing on. Cheap stage mic & no fancy plugins. Heavily guitar laden to the point it's got a bit of a shoegaze thing going on. I pulled the lyrics out of my ass & yes, they're a bit silly.

Description : BIG UPDATE 26/02/2014 - So, this was an 18 min track that I have now successfully split in two. 2nd half I uploaded a few weeks ago (Things That Should Always Be, with the bouncy 2 min reggae intro). This is the first half, which has a new mix, a mega chill, meditative ending and a little jazz thrown in for good measure. Takes a few minutes for beat to really kick in. Constantly evolving electric guitar, bass guitar, acoustic drums and lead banjo driven by fat, busy 80BPM grooves with a bit of a reggae and shuffle feel. Also: synth choir voices, dulcimer, violin, cello, shimmering pads. Builds up gradually to nice and rocking and then gets taken back down for the big comedown chill. I really don't know what sort of genre this is except 'far out'. I think it sounds more like a live band than one guy playing instruments and manipulating a DAW. Not my best track but a bit of blissful, sunny island fun. Real positive vibe here so I hope you give it a chance to unfold and unfurl. Sit back, clear your schedule and immerse yourself in these trippy sonic experiments cooked up deep in my off-planet underground laboratory. I have to send the MP3 to Earth via space courier (not cheap).
