Ok, I can hear the differences, but: sorry, much too dull/bassy (comppare it with vers 6), far too loud, especially for this kind of music (LUFS -8!), over compressed and under limited (means use a lot lesss compressor and a bit more limiter) and for my taste bd and sn could still use some clarity. Just give it a try.

 

will do ! thanks

 

first, great song

negative points :
- EVEYTHING needs more definition. everything

but regarding the absence of any technical reference and mixing methods, I will stop there.

- the voice :yours ? auto-tuned ? auto-tuned as you were recording ?
I'm asking the question because I feel like you were trying to vocally give the effect beofre <= ( *before... that's me going dyslexic ) it was there

- I don't know if it's an acoustic guitar or a electric with a pitch-shifter ( on the R ), but those are a pain in the *ss to EQ, I give you that

positive points :

- I really like the overall ambiance, and I think I dig what you wanted to achieve / sound-wise; and despite appearances, these kinds of sounds / ambiances / mood are really hard to achieve, especially with a home studio. it's not all about the reverb(s), and it's easy to destroy a mix quickly with a simple mistake.

- love your guitar solo sound. What are you using ? I think I've noticed a floyd rose in the beginning ( and some auto-wah )

totally deserve a better mixing-power to make it justice.
great composition, mate. I'm happy that there's great musicians in here.

 

thanks BB for checking it out !

yes , that`s my voice -- i re recorded an old song i wrote , u should hear the old mix !? doh

there`s a bit of AT on it , as i am no Elvis , ha

acoustic on the right , ya : i know , its kinda bright and needs more body :

guitars are through a jackson w/ floyd - yes :

using guitar rig , Gods <Love , Vai patch : w bad horsie wah :

i agree with your comments ; i am just doing the best my skill level can do _ i am no Alan Parsons , hehe

watching a lot of tutorials , etc trying to learn more , but there is so much to learn to get things to sound decent :

like i said , u should hear the old mix !

i am gonna keep at it , thanks again !

 

I remixed the whole track using Izotopes Neutron on a lot of the tracks to help with EQ , Comp & masking !
adjusted other levels etc :
i think it sounds a shit load better :
please take a gander if anyone has time , interested !
Thanks a ton :



i saw her standing there

flowers in her hair

reminds me of a time

way back in 69

we were young , flying on the breeze

its all a mystery , how things turned out to be

days flew on passed

you know it dont last

in the back of the van , we had a plan



Like a falling star

i wonder where you are

its still a mystery to me

just what you meant to me

back in california , when we were young

we had the time of our lives , we lived for fun



its all gone away , back to yesterday

with the passing of time

things loose their rhyme

many years have passed

good times they dont last

its hard to watch it go

kinda like the falling snow

if it gets in your eyes

it comes as no surprise

that you have to blink twice

to see paradise





Like a falling star

i wonder where you are

its still a mystery to me

just what you meant to me

back in california , when we were young

we had the time of our lives , we lived for fun

if anyone can re visit , TY !
remixed whole thing w/ neutron
much better !?

 

Yes a much better mix... Vocals more upfront... Guitars more separated...

Only drawback... Is that the newer mix shines a brighter light on some vocal perfomance issues... Specifically the harmonies are not entirely aligned with the lead vox...

 

A lot better now

 

Thanks so much guys for re-listening and kudos :

i will check the alignment issues for sure ~!
