woman at the door

so guys what do you think? I have to re-record the vocals beacuse I've recorded with a dynamic mic with this black wind-shield on it, but I'm so lazy lately. So just some thoughts before I re-edit this track?

This is great I think. However, the sonic quality is so bad it's hard to listen to.
I'm guessing it's the Soundcloud resampling that did it. Not sure. I listen on a laptop.
See what others have to say cause maybe it's just my tired old ears.
I don't hear a problem with the vocal though.

The metronome sounding  'stick'  is really obnoxious.
And, there is a piercing female or octavized voc near the end that is really piercy.


All that said, I really like the song. Something I thought of was to use the idea of 'push, pull, open, close' (lyrically) when speaking of the "door". just a thought.

Hi Ioannis, nice song, well sung. Just thought the guitar solo could be a bit more up tempo, maybe some short burst of fast notes followed by a long one, just an idea.

Greetings, Rik

Ioannis,

What a great song.   Sounds to me like a song from a James Bond or Tarantino movie.   Very interesting progression, it really pulls you in.    The only suggestion I would even venture out with is the guitar solo patch.   The solo itself is good but it seems like the distortion seems out of context with the rest of the song.   I would use that nice clean sound you use at the intro for solo part.  Like The Last Race by Jack Nitzche guitar sound.  The organ solo is cool.   Really outstanding work.  Love it..

Regards

Ioannis,

Perhaps I misspoke with the "nice, clean, guitar sound" comment above.   To me, nice and clean in the context of a song like this, would still be a little dirty.    I think you are absolutely right about the correlation you made about the link between distortion and despair (I get it). What I should have said was a little less distortion on the current solo.  I think it needs some to to be a little more than the distortion tone at the beginning, but a little less than where it is.  Ventures sound with and attitude or like that song I mentioned from Deathproof, the movie, "The Last Race" by Jack Nitscke.   Just my opinion so feel free to throw it out.  It is actually a fairly trivial thing as the song is quite riveting as is.

Perhaps that greatest compliment I could give you is that when I was listening to your song my wife came by my office and asked what it was.   This is the woman that runs away and hides whenever I go near my office because she knows I will ask her to come listen to something.   Well, in her defense, I suppose that gets old after 23 years.  

I found this quite pleasant to listen to.

If I was to offer any observations, I agree the click is wrong but..., and I found the ride a little unfocused perhaps a little to much verb just my subjective opinion.

Nice, thanks for sharing.

I liked it. It started slow for me, but ultimately ended pleasantly. The harmony is just a tad too close. If you're going to use it, I suggest making it barely audible, just barely. Since it's so high in pitch, people will hear it, but they likely won't be able to pick it out of the mix, which is what I think you were going for anyways.

Good work.

very much enjoyed the tune...I think the B3 was a bit up front...but I really enjoyed the tune. Loved the vox both front and rear...very nice job putting that together...love the lil "i need you" repeating in the rear b4 the lead...I like weird lil leads too...I'd try to tame the edgyness to this one...use the saem efx but deepen the tone a tad as it kinda rakes on the nerves and was a tade distracting to the nice dark/warm mood...keep the weirdness....but tame the beast so to speak.

Great job...loved it

Nice job, Ioannis.  Great voice.  I know that you probably don't want to hear this but I can hear you singing country.
