donkeyt - pop/soul/indie song - Until The Morning

Nice tune. The music is excellent and sounds very professional.

I think the vocals would be clearer with less processing. I think the harmonizers are making them muddy.

Good job!

I agree that there could be a bit more clarity (my self from 20 years ago is now spitting venom...) but think it's probably as much to do with eq as anything. I think at some point soon I'll have a mess about with the vocals again, probably need to tighten up some of the timings on the multitracked ones and also roll off some of the high mids/highs on everything but the main vocal.

Cheers to everyone for listening and for the constructive criticism and pointers..getting there!

Great song with a feelgood factor and a tasty arrangement. I don't hear any problem with the snare but, after looking through the other comments, I see that you already fixed that. The bass is quite "upfront" but that's not a criticism, I think it belongs there, driving the groove along. As usual, the vocals are polished, and I don't think it sounds like Mr. Pellow. It sounds more like some Northern dood who used to used to post tracks here quite a few years ago If anything, I'd say that the vocal performance is a good as any your past tracks, and they're mixed very well too. Welcome back.

Good work

Afternoon all,

Thanks to everyone for listening and making suggestions, and apologies for my tardiness in replying; utterly bonkers at work at present and I also managed to burn my bastard finger cooking (more takeaways required...) which makes typing bloody difficult (excuses, excuses..) but will spare the neighbours my guitar playing for a few more days yet. The new mini midi drumkit thing on the other hand....

It's good to be back, and in due course I'll have a good listen to some of the other posted stuff and make my usual sharp and incisive rambling drivel comments.

donkey tugger,
I actually reviewed your song "Things"(?) on my recent thread, and then I stumbled across this thread. Interesting mellotron-type strings. For me the highlights are: vocal melodies during the chorus, general singing (which reminds me of Peter Gabriel again), and the electric bass. Nice audio quality. I liked this song, though I actually liked "Things" better overall. Cheers!
