musically pretty good dude, nice guitar (loving that top!) and playing, vocals are good too. why you are covering a female vocal song dressed like Fred Durst is another matter...

Good mix. It lacks some of the personality and intensity of the original but great effort. Their drummer is a beast, well I guess he's gone now, but still a consumate Rock drummer.

First off, I definitely can't touch Hayley's vocals - she's beast. I honestly just really like covering songs I like. Why I'm dressed like Fred Durst? That is an excellent question I cannot answer haha. Thanks for the compliments dude - and I love that guitar top too! (Michael Kelly). I appreciate you checkin it out. -Jonathan

TheBerlinPatient That was a fantastic recording man if you got any tips about how you mastered it I would love to here em thanks , again great job . Hey dude thanks for checking it out - I'm glad you liked it. As far as the mastering, it was all done in the box with Ozone 4. I'm not at all an experienced mastering engineer, but I do the very little that I can. As far as loudness, what I do is I track my drums/guitars/bass/vox and then IMMEDIATELY before I do anything else I put Ozone on the master bus and bump up the volume with the maximizer. I mix the song while it's really loud because every single time I've pushed the volume after I mixed it the mix changes way too much and I can't get it loud enough without it pumping. Now I don't know if this is right or wrong, but it seems to work decently for me. When the mix is done I pretty much adjust a few frequencies with the EQ in Ozone, maybe do some multiband compression, and that's pretty much it. For this song, I dipped a little in the high-mids, rolled off very little of the lows just to tame the sub bass frequencies, and dipped just a little bit in the 300hz range for clarity. That's about it dude. Hope it helps. -Jonathan

Thanks for the compliments dude. Yeah I definitely agree - it's really hard to cover that band (especially the vocals). I definitely prefer Hayley's vox over mine - she makes it sound so aggressive and intense like you said. But anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed it. -Jonathan
