Come Unto Me- Revisited

Sounds like Steppenwolf's The Pusher when it starts.

Listening on computer speakers. 

I had a hard time listening to the song.  It has to much reverb, and that made it hard to hear details. It did sound like there are some timing or track sync issues under it all though. 

You said you did not have the original tracks. So, seriously, my recommendation would be to record the tracks again so that you have the individual tracks and can then work with this on a track level as opposed to trying to fix what sounds like a mix that needs work.  Reverb & EQ can not fix something that wasn't mix right and has levels that are not correct relative to each other. 

What I mean is the vocals were not loud enough and the guitar was a bit to loud. Having the individual tracks would let you fix things like that. 

So... if it was mine, I'd take the time to record the tracks properly and start again, with help from the people here to help you tune in a sweet mix on this song. All it takes is the time to lay down a few tracks. 

That's my 2 centavos... for what it's worth. 





edit: I went back for a second listen specifically to see if I could understand the words clearly...... nope. I have no clue what the words are. In a "christian" song... the words are probably the single most important thing in the song.... they must be clear, and setting above the music, not hidden in reverb and buried in the mix. 

record it again so you can work the mix better. 

I mean this in the kindest and most sincere way possible. 

John, there are some timing anomalies in the rhythm guitar. But I like the vibe.

John....

Take the time to redo the song. It will be a good learning experience for you. 

Also.... go to Staples or some other store that sells computers and stuff. Buy one of those 1Terabyte external drives, and when you finish a song, copy the entire song folder into the backup drive. 

I actually have 2 backup drives. In the DAW I have a large C drive for my OS and programs.... and there is a huge D drive that is for sample libraries and back up storage... then I also have a 1TB external. 

So my files are in 2 different places. The chance that both fail at the same time are small. AND, the D drive in the machine can be swapped into another machine if the MOBO dies. 

With the low cost of CD's and DVD's you can also burn the files to disk as bundles and projects. 


BUT... Back up what you consider irreplaceable.

Yeah, buddy, I couldn't understand the lyrics at all and it seemed a bit jumbled, maybe the drums did that to me.  I think you have a start but just need to rethink the recording.  Good start.
