"The Wanderer", looking for feedback!

Jeff - I thought this was a great piece of music. Liked the simple fade out on the guitar on the ending. If I had one nit, it would be to bring up the vox a wee bit more. To my ears, everything sounded spotless. Excellent tune!

When you are inspired, you can accomplish amazing things… this is definitely an example of what can be realized when captivating lyrics are matched with virtuosity. The build draws you in and does not let you down. The vocal processing delivers the right depth and the harmonies are haunting. The vocal levels become yet another distinctive instrument in your arsenal of musical textures… just make sure you include the lyrics in the liner notes. There is an other-worldly, yet very organic feel to this… especially when the percussion hails the arrival of the hi-hat(?) duet… a move that clearly establishes the width of the third act. I was completely drawn in by the time the guitar broke loose, powerful and full, given plenty of room to take center stage while the vocals weaved their magic in and out… simply brilliant. This is a very emotional piece, Jeff and absolutely lovely.

The slow fade in makes me wonder if this is going to be a concept piece… if so, I can hardly wait.

Hi Jeff,

I was impressed with this song as well. The only crit I have is maybe bringing up the vox, which has already been mentioned - to my ears the this really needs to be done on the chorus - I didn't think there was a problem in other sections of the song.

Great job,
Doug

Thanks everyone for the comments so far. Couple of you mention that my vox in the chorus needs to be louder, and I want to ask...do many of you split the main vocal line between different tracks? Because for the most part, I've been keeping the main vox line into a single track, so that the vocals are at the same volume throughout the song, for consistency's sake mainly. I compress it alot so the volume does remain the same as well. Well anyways, maybe I can just turn down the guitar volume or something, I'll figure it out

Jeff..Excellent music. Enjoyed everything about it.

Hat's off!

Michael

Bring up the vox...but really well done.

Thanks everyone for the comments, and apparently the unanimous-ness of "bring up the vox", lol. I actually think I might've solved the problem, I added another band in the multi-band compressor specifically tailored to the vocal line now, so I think that should help bring it out in the mix.

Jeff, good show. Nicely done song.

Jeff
