Collaboration between me and a friend 3,000 miles away using SKYPE and TEAM VIEWER.

DAW was REAPER. Drums are Sup Dmr 2.

Mix is ...decent, arrangement was quick.

Really like it.

 

only 3000 miles? NICE WORK! who's singing? at first I was hearing a lindsey buckingham but then around 2:20 mark song takes a turn in tone, the chorus big lanye staley harmonies Great job, good guitar sound & the vox are sensational

 

I'm singin'! :-D 90s throwback for sure. Fleetwood mac kinda chorus maybe? Everything was written while recording.

 

excellent

tell us more if you can about the gear you use.
amazing voice, I like the melodies too.

a good mixing would make it even better.
congrats, nice song

 

@black bounty

i think that i used a mojave 301 fet for vox into a great river.

a godin session guitar going through JDI (w/no buffer pedal though) into Phoenix DRS-1 XLR-in, then re-amped into a 5150 iii through 2x12 w/ Celestion v30s, then - miced with a Beyerdynamic m201.

Bass was Carvin B50 - into the DI of Sebatron vmp1000e.

No synths or electronics on this.

Drums were superior drummer 2. can't remember which pack, (maybe rock warehouse) but the drum choice (and parts) could be a lot better.

pulled up eventide "xxxxxxx" plugins and threw some presets on vox parts. lol

ran the 2-buss through a TSL-4 shaving off 1.5-2.

and, the lyrics are a bunch of nonsense.

I will have to google half of the words of this post, thank you for that

I'm French, so honestly, even when you're bilingual, it's not the first thing you hear, we have to pay attention,

thx

 

@bluerover nice pipes... really digging the vocal harmonies you did... are they all you ?

gritty driving guitars.... and it does sound like you're channeling Lindsey Buckingham somehow... if I heard this randomly somewhere
I swear I'd think it was Fleetwood too in parts...

nice little pop rock gem you brought us to ring in 2018..... thanks for sharing..

@Herr Durr Thank you, Mr. Herr Durr. Yes, the vox harmonies were done by me with more rec/undo takes than I care to admit. You're right about the Fleetwood Mac. I had the chorus in my head and constructed everything else around that. I "NEEDED" to get that haunting fleetwood-esqe part recorded and out of my head. It was a good exercise in "self-theme-exorcism" for sure. hee hee.

Seems like you guys are onto something really cool here! It has the awesome vibes mentioned above with the classic rock and 90's flavors but also a modern feel in there as well, maybe the mix? The vocalist is really cool, it would be a crime if you guys didn't make an album...

Really like the vocal processing, I feel like a good mastering job could open this up more and make the low end bring this song's vibe more current sounding even.

I really like it. I leave to the people who knows about this to advice you ))
Keep it up.

 

Really like this! I am starting to use reaper myself. Lie the vocals! Singer has an Alice In Chains feel!

 

Somehow missed this first time round

Maybeez a bit Joe Walsh in places mixed up with Kula Shaker an' for moi its the best bit of music I've heard on here for quite while, nicely 70's/90's.

 

this track is outstanding. i would buy this. i would go to your concert. keep up the great work.

 

yeah, me too.
