I think it's really cool Tim. Very with the times for this style. You did well with it if you're not used to working/mixing this sort of thing. The only thing I'd maybe try to concentrate on....is sometimes the vocals sort of lose their impact with all the effects. Especially the one that goes a little AM radio sounding. The other thing is...though I'm fully aware of the stuff/effects that go on with this style and I like and accept the song just the way you delivered it, the voice sounds so computer sounding that it doesn't really have a distinct quality about it...if that makes sense?

Like usually, when guys sing this style, there are times when you can actually hear their voice a little behind all the effects. This one sort of sounds effected all through it to where any voice would suffice. Does that make sense at all? Like...there are no vocal characteristics that would make this artist stick out as unique other than I think the song/writing is great, or if you were marketing him to be some sort of "effect machine" where that would be his thing. You know...never really hearing the actual voice, the effects and production are the selling points along with good song writing and hooks. That's the best way I can explain it and I honestly don't mean any of that to sound harsh.

Absolutely love how it gets heavy and changes drums and has some rock lines in it! That was brilliant and something I always wished people doing this style would dive into more often. Something about those heavy drums coming in that just brings the piece to the next level. A little rock edge is killer for stuff like this. So I trhink you have something cool here. But you may want to try and decide if you want to have some sort of real vocal sound minus all the effects so he's a bit more distinct, or you go with the whole effect thing as "his thing". Either way it's cool in my opinion. Just some stuff to think about. Nice job bro!

Tim, this is a joy to listen to.  The way this is woven together is very crafty.  I understand what Danny is saying about the voice, yet, not having heard the raw track, this may have been the best option.  Styles change much faster than I do, but you seem to be on top of things.  I'll be listening to this several more times.

VERY cool production Tim. 
It would be great to hear a more stripped back mix with more emphasis on the drum/bass/vocal too. Come on - Dubstep remix 

It's all good.

Nice song and recording.  

It works but I hear the stops and react a bit on them - next time I hear it, it will not react on me. That said, its a very good production I will like it;-)

Thanks Mr. Robbay.. I keep trying. That's pretty amazing in itself maybe..

Hey Lynn. Thanks . 
I think "Best option" hits it on the head:) It is hard to keep up indeed.

Hi jsaras. Thanks for holding the bag a little:)

Hey daryl. Yea, I've tried that. At least I think I did as I don't really have a clue what dubstep is. Or, for that matter, if I need to:) I couldn't get it to work stripped down though. I find stripped down anything (except women) is pretty hard to get right..

Hi Mr. Foxw. FWIW it was Melodyne. Which, imo, doesn't quite get the autotune sound.  I think it may sound 90s because I'm usually at least a decade behind.

Mr. Robbay. It is ALL GOOD isn't it? Just ask Frank..

Thanks Old55

Thank you eko. What "stops" please?

Hey Frank. Hmm. The wipper snappers keep you wipperin and snapperin. No?
Thanks for the good stuff.

Thanks Mr. Reece. Yea, I don't listen to it either unless I'm doin it:)

GREAT piece!  The mix sounds wonderful.  It's funny to hear how much synth is being used in todays music.  Sounds like a harder version of Owl City.  KUDOS GENTS!

Too many old farts around here who hate that kind of music. OK, that includes me. I won't be loading it onto my iPod. Later today I'll run it past a grandchild for an informed musical opinion.

BUT we're all about production and engineering here - we're not music critics! And the production is wonderful. Props to you, Tim; I'd be reluctant to even take on a project like that.

I have no wisdom btw.
 
But I adored this track, lots of impact and well just plain ol' skill.

Hi Jon and Phil. Appreciate the listen and nice comments. Thanks.

I was waiting for the steel guitar and fiddles but alas....... 


Not my cuppa Java however.... the production was spectacular and I did really enjoy how you blended the rock stuff into it... I actually liked that part the best.... 


good job on the production.... probably well written too but I don't know the genre well enough to actually know that for sure. 


enjoyable listen....

OK Eko. Thanks. I think you mean the stuttering effect maybe. cool.

Hey Herb. Yah, not your cuppa.... Glad you got through it:) Yea, I like the rock section thing too. Thanks.

Hi Cian. Thanks man. Don't know what to do about the voc. It's like pulling teeth getting anything out of this kid. He's got a very nice voice though.

Thanks for checking it out Daryl. Appreciate it.
