Steal Away - Emann

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.

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.

Needs a bit more mastering, but I am really digging your guitar work.

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.

Nice guitar work on this one, nice ideas going on.

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.
