    This is a new song from our band, something like pop-rock..
    You(hotfile 150kbps)
    You(hotfile 320kbps) specially for John C.:)

    Waiting for your opinions on mixing, and of course the song itself :)
    Recording and mixing was done on rather low-end equipment, but for me it seems nice..

    I leave the opinions about mixing to the more-experienced-ones...

    The song is nice, and i think that the changing of the mood and the sound during the track is a very good idea...
    I'm waiting for other tracks...

    Well done, guys

    :wink:

    Is it really so bad? :)
    Could you please give some advice, what needs to be improved here?

    No, no... sorry...
    I think I didn't express clearly what I meant.
    I am the one that is not experienced in mixing.

    So, it's better if suggestions about mixing can come from the users who can really say something about this field of action...
    I will stay in tune in order to learn something

    I'd go with a wider soundscape, pan your instruments out more, it sounds very flat. I also don't like the microphone effect in the beginning sounds very compressesd towards highs and it throws off the balance of the mix. Use a little bit of reverb possibly delay on the voice. Pan your guitar to the left pan your keys to the right leave your voice in the middle but make it come out more without changing the volume. Also around 3:30 sounds like your guitar is too rich in highs.

    Cool song I enjoyed it! Of course if you want more me to give you a better opinion I'd need to hear it better so a 320kbps would be necessary.

    Hope this helps

    John

    That makes sense, cause I don't have monitors and had to mix it in the headphones *yes*
    you mean there's no "bottom" in the vocals?
    There are already :) They are not quite noticeable, I'll try adding more...

    No, it is not an error, it's something like "rhythm modification" :) But it really sounds a bit weird)

    :bow: Sorry but waiting for 10 seconds, filing some stupid words to hear what? There are dedicated sites for demo music and with no stupid limitations – make research on internet. Sorry once again -> this is just advice

    @ Upsagain

    You are right, but a real advice would have been, if you would have recommended something, instead of only criticizing.

    @ Pilgrim

    Soundcloud.com or box.net are great sites for presenting your music.

    As for the song itself, I think it would definitely do it good, if you would thin out the arrangement a bit.
    It is too much going on, almost all the time.
    It starts in the intro already, you have guitar, strings, vocal, piano, ...
    Maybe you should mute this or that sometimes, try to begin with less instruments, and then introduce the rest one after the other.

    As for the mix, I would try to use a bit more reverb and/or delay in general, the mix sounds quite dry.

    Nice song! *yes*
