Hi folks!

After a long break I recorded and mixed a new song. Been listening to The National recently so don't be surprised if it sounds similar. :-)

Would be happy about some feedback to the song/mix.

Thanks. :-)

Any more thoughts on the new mix/song?

Talvin, a courtesy, can you say what hardware\soft\plugins\DAW you use it on this? Thanks in advance

My Daw is Studio One.

I used Sampletank 2/3, Ezdrummer and an Ample Sound Guitar (AGT). I mostly use stock plugins but on this one I gave the mix to
Soundmopi, so I don't know what he used on the sounds.

Any more thoughts on the Soundmopi mix? Anything you would change?

IMO all have a good equilibrium... this music are ready to be sell! ;-) Good Luck!

PS: Excuse me but... What Audio Interface & Mics???

Post

I use an AKG C214 and my sound card is a Roland Quad Capture. But I don't think the equipment really matters that much.

Any more opinions on the song/mix?

It would be cool to have some more opinions on the mix so I can make some adjustments if necessary. :-)

I kind of like the start of the first mix better. But I'm not sure why. The simple/clean start sounds better to me. Both mixes sound a bit funny around 1:04, that synth part sounds wrong? I think the chorus at 2:06 repeats more times than it needs to, twice would be fine. The Soundmopi mix is better after the start. But I really like that first mix's beginning.

Take my comments with a grain of salt, I have no musical talent. I enjoyed listening to the song though, enough to listen to both mixes more than once. Nice job.

Thanks. It's good to have some feedback from people who just like listening to music.
That's what we make music for (and because it's fun of course). :-)
