im not one so much for making criticism of the creative end, what you do is your own style, and if it works for you more power to you.
i can however offer you some practical advice for the production process. first, TURN EVERYTHING DOWN a whole bunch. you clip off some of the high ends of the vocals the synth and the effects like the toms and it really takes away from the ambiance that i think youre going for. while in the recording process, make sure to keep everything as quiet as you can keep it, and dont turn it up til you mix down and make the final take. it will give it a much fuller sound and make it sound much more professional.
second, when you record vocals or other acoustic elements, do so in a carpeted small room that doesnt have hard walls (something like dry wall will do nicely). after you have the raw sound, add the echo and reverb and other effects and it will sound much better. right now there is a lot of residual static noise from the recording chamber, im guessing you did it in a hard floored room.
third, EQ the drums and give them more treble, especially the cymbal and the little clicky things, cause those are the subconscious cues which a person listens for to follow along so that the rest of the song can be processed comforably by the conscious mind. you could also use a stronger bass end. basically, chop out the mid range a whole bunch, and this will be a lot easier once you have turned all the raw tracks down.
the elements are all there for a great song with real impact. it will certainly get someones attention ;) keep up the good work. i dont have a myspace account but please post on here with any other songs you guys do, id love to hear them. best of luck!
Reply:Ya know- It's not really my thing, but I'll offer the following suggestion;
take the vocals down a little. I think they are way overmodulated and they detract from the instrumental work.
other than that.. go for it!
Good luck!
