Huh ? Did I read that right ? These were the first thoughts in my head when I saw this thread. Umm, ep, that's what it says - so being a fan of  both your playing and unlikely combinations I just had to listen immediately.

First off, hats off to you for even attempting it and then I have to put my hat back on and take it off to you again for not only doing it but succeeding. Only listening on laptop, so can't really comment on the mix too much, but overall I'd say that the vocals need to be  further forward - they seem kind of lost in places. In terms of composition, I really like it on the whole but I think it could maybe use a break here and there where most of the instruments drop out and add emphasiss to the vocal line and maybe a repeat of the odd vocal line in the outro.

Other than that, you rock Vicente - very cool !

That sounds Great!!  It's got a raw feel to it with the distorted guitars and phat snare sound.  Really nice mix too.  I like how you've EQ's the bass - you can hear that nice "clack" and it is a clean bass which works well with the guitar and the kick.  The rythm of your rapping vocals works very well!  Nice job.

Vox are overpowered, as mentioned prior, which makes it difficult to hear the words.   Sounds good though.  I agree with Cian that a breakdown would add a nice effect.   A ToneLoc breakdown with a little light funky guitar would be cool.

Regards

again, as with the others, not sure what to expect...not rap at all, but the music is very cool! needs a changeup somewhere, and you need to really get the timing of your words very tight with the drums for maximum impact. i know some of the peeps in this field use a triple-tracked approach to vocals for max impact. odd but good!

All Ok let me adjust the voice up but not too much.  My thinking was that this is a loud piece and the voice needs to be a bit drowed out by the instruments, almost like shouting to get over the top.  So looks like I over did it. 

I think the break down is a great idea.  How come I did not think of it??  Oh well, working on it and it should be coming shortly.

guitartrek For the bass eq, I got this from a book that recommends bosting 10-12K to give it some punch. 

mgh Triple track approach?  How is that done?

Hi Vicente, some really nice guitar work here, vocals could be a bit louder.

Greetings, Rik

Vicente,

This sounded great.  Very nice listen.  Vocals sounded good!  I love the drums and the wah-wah guitar solo. 

triple track vox - i think they use a M-S and room mic. but it could be 3 separate tracks, i remember reading on here - could be Twisted has more of a handle on it?

Nice to see you step out of the norm and even better when it all comes together and works. From the way the vox sits in the mix to the performace itself this was WORKING. Really enjoyed everything about this piece and the mix sounds great on my end. KUDOS!

mgh, That would capture the dynamics better as you could put different mics at different levels.  There must be lots of tweaking to get the mix right.  I can see how that would make more vox impact. 

All (Rik, Kev and NoHow recently) thanks for the feedback and suggestions.  I just updated the track with the vox up and I added a breakdown section.
