Firstly, anything regarding cold beer always gets my attention. Friday night jam song, while drinking cold beer. Upbeat, expressive and fun. Sounds like you may have some people adding a few things, look forward to hearing a remix!
I think I have the cold beer blues. I was metal detecting the beach this morning and found a full, unopened beer in the sand....warm. It's in my fridge chilling out now. On a good note, I found enough change to buy a frosty cold one. :)
Here you go, remixed with solo. Bass and kick were a little hard to differentiate in the original so I replaced them. I kept the key, tempo, and original motif... enjoy.
Hey Hams, this is cool ! I dig the electro-metal aspect and you did some very creative work on this. I wish there was some thumping sub bass in here and maybe a nice shredding guitar lead break tho. But, yeah, I'm digging it bro.
Thanks, Neo. Appreciate you giving it a listen and providing some feedback. Yeah, it is not done for sure. I am working on some sub-bass at the moment. I have never done any before so I am watching and learning on Youtube. I just got Serum so going to try and use that for the Sub. Guitars will also be brought up in the mix. I suck at guitar solos, especially ones on Virtual instruments but I might give it a try anyway.
Thanks again.
Who Spiked my Drink? Very Creative and yet it sounds like Vogon Poetry ( 10 points to anyone who gets the Douglass Adams Reference). It grows on you as you keep listening. The ahheeeahhh chorus pulls it together..Super creative, I liked the weirdness of it! And if Dan likes it your golden ehh!

Thanks, Cru. Vogon Poetry, lol. When I was working on the lyrics I was worried it was going to come off with too much of a "White Lines" vibe. " Twice as sweet as sugar
Twice as bitter as salt
And if you get hooked, baby
It's nobody else's fault, so don't do it!"
amazing work on the vocals - wow! panning is really effective. guitar work toward the end forebodes more! Great work and looking forward to more of it! Dan
Thanks, Brother. I checked out the video, I am honored that you used my track. Very cool indeed. Feel free to use any of my other tracks. Always nice to get exposure.
Head-bopping, toe-tapping all the way. I enjoyed this piece with its rhythmic intricacies and melodic delights. It does feel like it could handle some vocals, so I look forward to seeing what you're going to do there. Great job.
Definitely has an 80's vibe to it. At the instrumental stage it sounds like a theme song to a film. Adding a vocal track would turn it into a retro 80's pop song. The melody is quite good & memorable & it sounds clean & professional. Good work.
This is really high-quality music. I especially love the low hard guitar chords, and the shrieky thing in the bridge (or what I took to be the bridge). I'm looking forward to hearing the vocals. As you work on other pieces, since you're a keyboardist, you might think about bringing back some of the '70s organ - I've been listening to a lot of early '70s stuff and there's funky organ everywhere. I miss it, and now, should you choose to accept this mission, you've been anointed to bring it back.
WOW!!!! Sounds like a real band in a real studio and everything!!! Us midi keyboard warriors aren't worthy. It's definitely dramatic. Perhaps a female singer with a booming voice singing about how much she wants to murder her lover would put this into the galaxy of post rock greatness. So I'm saying fantastic job all the way round.
I thought the vocals were fine because they were unique, I find heavier tracks to always be more difficult to mix and master all around the board, they always sound fine to me though I grew up listening to some pretty heavy stuff that sounded like someone recorded it live with a talkboy lol I will just pretend i am going for that bootleg sound.
Heavier tracks are tougher because you need the Drums to stand out and it is easy to wash them out with all the heavy guitars. Plus generally, you need those drums to be way busier than other genres. It is a tough balancing act from a mixing standpoint. I still suck at the drums part big time in most tracks. I am too lazy to have them spread out over 16 or more tracks where you can tweak individual drums on the kit. I always just use a stereo approach. It is way easier but lacking in punch.
I am a huge metal fan, I like your track, it sounded great, all the volumes and everything seemed good to me, as someone else said it was different but in a good enjoyable way. I try to do metal songs occasionally, I have one really crazy metal song rough copy done, I would like to know what other fellow metalheads think of it when I post it, I could let you know when it goes up if you would be interested.
Thanks for the feedback. I would definitely give it a listen. The hardest thing for me with Metal Tracks is getting the right vocal sound. I can't really do the low growly type vocals as it is not in my range. I use a plug in to lower the vocals to a lower octave. I was trying for a Wayne Static type vocal but just couldn't get it. I settled with this.
Okay! I know you said rough sketch, It's a solid idea for a song. Of course the drums need to be way louder. Guitars too, depending on what you're trying to do with it. It was really wierd, but in a cool way. Raw as heck, and ready for some molding. Good job!
