"Your Love Is Gone" - New original rocker by Jimmy Saad (Rimshot)


I wanted to get this song finished by April Fool's Day and I did.  This is a hard rocker and I played all the parts as usual.  This time, the bass was played on my new Ibanez.  Hope you enjoy it.

Edit: Updated mix with more kick. https://soundcloud.com/jimmy-saad/your-love-is-gone-4-1-13-a

    Yep this is a hard rocker.  Vocals are really good. The mix is a bit muddy, perhaps your trying to emphasize your new bass, but I think you cut the low end a bit too much on it which seems to be resulting in it fighting with the guitars for spectral space. Perhaps your monitors are a little hotter on the low end. The song is good. The guitars and the bass need a little better balance.

    The Bass, as you are probably finding, is the hardest to get right in a mix. Good luck with the new bass. The playing was really good.

    Great rocker - all of your playing is really fantastic - the mix does sound a big muddy- to me the instruments felt "crowded". But the song is really nice - I loved the vocals.

    Hey Tap and CLEAN, 

    Had to upload another mix to SoundCloud.  First one did not translate well for some reason.  Please check it now.  The mix is sounds pretty darn clean on my system.  Thanks much.

    Jimmy Dean... James Dean. (Sorry, read Johns "Rock On" above and it was the first thing that came to mind). I found the bottom a bit hollow, but I am not so sure it was the bass as it was the drums. I found the vox a bit back, but it seemed to suit the style.

    This track has a great beat.  It is a combination of drums and the really cool guitar riffs.  The mix needs a bit  brightening, but that is easy fix.  Great job!

    Sorry for not getting back to you guys - I have been out for the last week.  At this point, I am going to try another lead vocal and remix.

    Tap - Thanks for the 2nd listen.  
    John - Much thanks for the kind words.  Piece to you also!

    Chad - thanks for the good points.  Vocal is back a little too much.  I will check the bottom again.

    Robbie - thank you so much!  It does sound better louder IMO.  

    Scotty - :) back at ya'.

    Malcomb - thank you!  How are things on the isle?  

    Lynn - I appreciate your kind words.  I am glad you like the vocals and song.  

    Vincente - Thanks for the good words on my guitar and drums.  I am a better drummer than guitar player but I like the challenge.  The mix does need brightening which I will get to next time around.  

    All the best,

    Rimshot

    A great melodic slice of classic hard rock.

    I found the mix was good on my system.

    The guitars really rock in this. Sounded wonderful.

    Nice work.

    Good rocker.  The opening bit somewhat unbalanced.  But I like how you left the middle of soundstage open for vox.

    Loved it, Jimmy.  I like a rocker that can take off like that, just keep comin' at you and not get boring, and that's exactly what you put together here... congratulations... it ain't so easy to do .  Seriously, man, great tune, and excellent job all the way round on the playing and singing.

    Hey, Jimmy,
     
    You’ve got a dynamite rocker here with nice, thick guitars, punchy drums and great vocals and harmonies!
     
    Cool solo, I really love the chorus hook and vocal harmonies, and the new bass sounds really nice.
     
    Excellent work, Jimmy, have a good one, buddy!

    Maybe CLEAN can give you some bass treatment tips.  He always does a great job on my bass.  Many of the guys here mix a great bass.  I really like your song but agree there is some need for "space" or something.  I don't know how to describe it.  Really a good tune!

    AT - Thanks for the note.  I wanted the intro to be out there.  I imagined playing this song live where everyone already knew it.  That intro could go a long ways before the actual song starts.  

    Hi Bob - much thanks!  I am so glad you liked it.  The lead was the best I could do with my goofy fingers - I don't know how you guys and play fast and melodic.  

    Makke - much appreciated!  Thanks for posting.

    Hi Warren - thanks for the listen and good comments.  I think it is a bit muddy so that may be part of the "space" issue.  I did want full on rock guitars which is something I don't do often.  So glad you liked then tune!
