Radio

Hi Paulo,

I don't recognize the song but it sounds great on my laptop. The panning of the drums does seem off, though ( as James mentioned )

Very nice.

Ok well sung and well played, I am a little ambivilent though towards the overall track, there is just not enough in terms of hooks to get me in.

I don't know about the snare either, also there seems to be some distortion going on when the full drums kick in.  I may have been listening to the low-fi version of the track though I can't tell.

But keep them coming the playing and the singing are excellent.

Peace Ben

Nice job Paulo. Love the words. 
It does seem a little left heavy.

Don't know this one Paulo, but I really liked the song/performance! Lot more sound is coming out of my left speaker, but maybe that was your intended mix? Like the dynamics in this song..goes from pretty to in-your-face.

Yup, Razorlight...nice cover Paulo, you've given it a cool twist. Through my headphones there's some distortion on the louder sections. Love the acoustic guitar.

Thanks for the listens and feeback all. Sorry I've not been able to respond sooner.

Radio - thanks - glad you enjoyed.

james - dunno why it's coming across like that - I can hear what you mean, but it's panned down the middle. Any ideas ?

geeare  - thanks for the ears - drums are panned down the middle according to the meters so I'm not sure why it sounds off.

lynn - yeah it is a great tune - I liked it the very first time I heard it - glad I didn't butcher it for you !

Ben - thanks for the ears and the comments - don't think I've had the pleasure before ! I'm surprised that you don't find it hooky enough as  the guitar part was stuck in my head from the very first time I heard it on the radio - although admittedly I have slowed it down a little. The distortion is deliberate, but maybe I overdid it, so I'll take a look at that.

Janet - thanks as always - cool is always good !

Tim - thanks for checking it out. Not sure why it's leaning left as the only thing  actually panned left is the acoustic guitar (about 30% from memory) and even that is doubled and panned right at low volume to try and make it sound bigger. Not saying you're wrong - just don't know why it sounds that way - maybe I need to bring the left panned track in a little ?

Clean - thank you - glad you liked.

Larry - thank you for your expert ears - the acoustic part is meant to be left-sided,  but not the whole thing. I'm not sure why it's doing that though. Glad you liked the switches in dynamics - I was quite pleased how that turned out I must admit.

Bruce - thanks man. It is a good song - wish I wrote it ! You're not the only one to mention the distortion - it is deliberate, but maybe I overdid it. How others hear it is exactly what I want to know - so I have no problem at all with that.

James - thanks man - yeah looks like I need to dial that distortion back some . Glad you liked the slight twist on the original - I was aiming for slightly slower with a bigger dynamic difference between the sections.

Philz - thanks for the listen - not seen you around here much of late apart from the CHB's last outing. Yeah, big was the aim, so I'm glad it seems to be working for people.

Great arrangement and performances. Awesome vocals. Really great sounding production except some distortion in the louder parts.

Thanks for the ears and kind words Grant. Seems that I overdid the distortion on the choruses, others have mentioned it too, so I'll be dialling that back a bit as soon as I have time.

I don't know the song but I like it.  You do some really nice tunes, Paulo.  This is one of them.  I like the arrangement a lot!  Vocals and production sound really good.  Nice bass sound!

I love it! Sounds great in the cans!

Nice tune.   I hear the distortion folks are talking about but I personally like it!  There's a LOT of high frequency stuff in this.  You might consider toning the highs down just a bit.  I like the tune and the arrangement.

Peace,

Ian

Wow - didn't expect this to be back on the first page again.......... remix as per previous posts feedback is up now.

Ian - Thanks for listening and commenting - I already did as you suggested in the tweaked version - hopefully better.

Rimshot - Thanks for the ears and very positive comments - I could hear what people were saying about the imbalance, just didn't know why as panning all looked ok. Hopefully sussed it now - settings gone astray on a channel tools plugin  - hopefully sorted now.

Paulo -   Very nice.  Maybe a little more punch on the vocals, seems to fade in a couple of spots.  But it's minor.

Nice mix.
