If you have time take a listen and give Emann some feedback.
Okay, first, vocal need to come more forward. Second, the effects on your voice, I think, are causing your vocals to compete with you instruments at some points and there's some fading. I only notice because I've had to deal with the same prob :-)
All it might need is some changes in the panning. The farther away you separate two competing voices (sounds) the less they will clash. There are some other things you can do as well. I have an ebbok with suggestions for dealing with such a problem. If you wnat, I'll send it to you.
Hi John, thanks for the specific input. I especially appreciate this type of review, which includes ideas to improve the song. I suppose it’s a bit obvious – I’m more of an old-school axe grinder – than a digital age techie. Nonetheless, I’m not proud to receive help whenever I can get it. I’d appreciate the ebook, and I’ll take into account all of your suggestions.
Thanks again, JB
Great song Emann, has hints of Alice Cooper and some great guitar sounds. I agree with the others it has tremendous potential..
The drums are coming through a bit thin.. I listened on both flat response monitors and the average Bass boosted media player sound. also there seems to be some issues with the vocal. I'm not the most expert, but it seems recorded at too hot a level.The Looperman thread on spectrum analyzing changed everything for me, I think by leaps. I also use the EQ while it's up, and will eq a track that's fighting for headroom towards a different frequency, towards "The Bald Spots" so to speak. So there's not big clipping peaks at the lows and highs ( as a Geetar player, I scoop my mids, sometimes too much)
sure the loops here are great, but take advantage of the great tutorials in the forums.
I liked this and hope to hear it again.

Hi Toby, thanks for compliment: I’ve an old Al Cooper fan (one a the first ‘LPs’ I bought as as kid was ‘Million Dollar Babies’).
Also I appreciate the specific input. I especially appreciate this type of review, which includes ideas to improve the song. As I said to John (above)... ‘ I suppose it’s a bit obvious – I’m more of an old-school axe grinder – than a digital age techie. Nonetheless, I’m not proud to receive help whenever I can get it. I’ll check out your page and say ‘hello,’ and I’ll take into account all of your suggestions.
Thanks again, JB
I like the song idea, some really cool things going on here. I like the lead! Personally, I like to hear the vocals a little more centered in the mix, like how you centered the lead around 1 min. Just my opinion.
Overall I thought it was a cool track. Keep working on the mix, I think you could tweek it a bit more.

Reply: Well I was thinking balanced centering. Not sure, but did you double the vocal track and seperate it or is it a stereo widening effect, a delay? I'll usually just widen the stereo field a bit and add a bit of reverb to my vocals , that's it.
Hi the Humps, thanks for the tips. I've listening what everyone has said and have edited the song each time. I understand when you say you'd like the voice more 'centered' you are talking about 'balance centering' (or pcenter of the song? laced in a different place) in . Thanks for taking the time to listen and to comment. emann
Replay: thanks for clarifying that for me. You're right, i sterio micked that voice (double tracked) and somewhere had read to balance the to 100% L &R. I'll edit the song again and give what you said a try. Thanks again, emann (this kind of comment is very useful)
Thanks for your comment. I wrote when I was going through a difficult time. As I thought my 'relationship gone bad,' it made think that most people had suffered the way. Have a great day. Emann
Hi Emann
Some really good guitar work here, nice chord progression and vocals.
If I may make some suggestions: less reverb effects on the vocals and some of the guitars – it's hard to separate the sounds and it gives an untight feeling. A bit more work on the production would make this song great.
Cheers

Update: This second time around it sounds better and I like the lead guitar sound, Les Paul?. Keep it up.
Thanks for the possitive advice. No axcuse, but time always seems te an issue. Lately I've been rushed 'to just get the song finished,' and have permitted things that could have been improved, Maybe I'll edit this and clean it up a bit.

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 : Feel free to check out the lyrics video on YT as well :) This is a new track based on the great vocals by Ashes and Dreams! Again, a mix of electronic/progressive/rock, any feedback is welcome
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).
Description : This is the 2nd cover of Big Audio Dynamite i done With my freind John. We both fan of the band so we decided to do a challenge and produce a serie of covers. we done 4 in one month. each track got it proper video check my youtube channel indiegroundvid
