New Tune - I don't believe in love

Another beautiful song, Robby. I love the guitars and love your voice. I would bring the vocals up a bit--they were hard to hear in some places.

But it's hard to just comment on the mix when so much of your heart is in this song. It's very touching.

Sorry to hear about your parents too. Wow.

Simple answer--because deep down we're all selfish.

Yo Robby,

I like this song quite a bit. Singer-songwriter-70's-pop-rock to the max. Sounds like you have Bernie Leadon or somesuch sitting in on guitar. Good melody and chord progresion.

I need love
But I don't want to hurt anymore
Too many people
Too afraid to walk out the door(?)

Real personal and real good lyrics. Dark night of the soul.

My only quibble is that I am having trouble hearing all the lyrics, and I think they are good enough to be up front. Maybe thay are over-processed.

Good song, nonetheless.

Cheers,

Bert

And yes... They are WAY over processed! LOL! hahaha, the re-mix will be better ;-)

cool tune Robby....has a very familar feel. A bit bright overall but I know this is a first mix plua I'm a big analog fan so I tend to be more tubey sounding.

great job!

Hey thanks for the feedback guys, yes, this was when I was trying to get Sonar up and running, it was my first DAW and I didn't really have anyone to show me :-( and didn't really understand about the concepts of EQ and panning. I will definitely revisit it this summer, I agree with everything said.

- sounds over compressed; let the intro breathe; back the guitars off of that starting vocal part
- strident highs; check your EQs; I could see this track causing ear fatigue due to excessive content over 4K
- guitar solo a TEENY tad too loud (just my opinion)
- I would do a BIG clip gain reduction on the very last drum crash hit at the end of the song.
- 90s prog metal rockers Queensryche had a pretty top hit called "I don't believe in love"; you might not have heard of it, but since a popular (to some) song that still gets radio play has this same title, you might want to consider a re-name.

Good song and good work overall! I hope this is taken as helpful advice,
Ed

And you can't copyright the "name" of a song :-), you can't copyright a chord progression, only a melody and words. The name stays! Thanks again.

Yo Robby,

I think I may be a recovering overprocessor. Check out 'Ambivalent Angel 1992':

Another great song, Robby. Nice melody and harmonies and good job on the vocals and instruments. When you remix, you might want to do a little EQ carving to bring out the lead vocal a little bit more to the front of the mix. Great job!

Thanks guys, there are several in front of this, so it will be later this year, but I'll post the remix :-)

Robby, very heartfelt great lyrics. Good vocals, but perhaps a bit over processed. Could bring them forward a tad. The lead guitar at the bridge is awesome.

Really good song Robby, love the lead guitar in this, the Hammond, and the chord progression. Everything sounds heartfelt.

Everyone has you covered on the mix, so I'll just add a +1 to upping the vocals and backing off the processing on 'em.

Robby, good song, I enjoyed this. I agree the vox could come forward a bit, you have a nice clear voice and excellent harmonies. Tasty guitar leads too. This mix is perhaps not as distinct as a couple of your other songs I've heard, not as clean. Each part of the song flows quite naturally into the next. Good work.

Robby, great vocals, really like the tune. Mix could still use a little work; mix is narrow, and indistinct. Try separating things out, less reverb and processing. The cool thing is you've got a great voice and a good song; the rest is just details that can be worked.
