Really nice!!!! Listening on shitty external computer speakers and sub, and the bass sounds great even under these circumstances. Will check again tomorrow in the studio - but niiiiice..........! !

Maybe a tad heavy on vocal compression? sppitting and 'ssss'inging and 'kka'cking a bit - especially in the beggining. If it's a production reason behind it - maybe a bit of eq'ing to make it.....whatever your after.....

this is what i call top class! great mix, great track, outstanding voice! I wouldn't change anything!

may I ask what components were used on that vocal rec chain (mik, pre etc.)?

the19thbear · Post by **the19thbear** » Tue Mar 06, 2007 12:20 pm

thanks again! you will laugh.. i didnt use anything.. but i use a behringer b1 mic for vocals, a 4 ch. IMQ stageline mic pre ( VERY CHEAP!) and send it to z link.. clean.and i purposly compressed the voc a little bit too much, since i like it a little "in your face" otherwise the song would be too pretty... then i use scope in xtc mode, i use the CW comp on my
vocals, and waves comps on the drums.. i comp the mixdown with waves C4.

i basically didnt use any outboard gear, only cubase scope plugins and waves plugins. But thanks for all the nice comments! this really makes me want to make more music! thanks for complimenting on my voice
thank you! i record and play alone so its great to hear that i didnt mess up everything:)

there will be new tracks soon.

and by the way... please give me a record deal:):)

Nice sound all around, bear.

The acoustic guitar should change places in the stereo field with the electric comping guitar. Pan the acoustic to the left and the electric to the right. This will leave room for the Hihats to breathe, especially during the chorus.

Why the change to TR-808 hihats during the instrumental bridge? It's pretty but I don't know....
