Want You Badly

New tune, nice and rocky, balls to the wall, aggressive, snotty, unapologetic.

Felt like having a song to add my live set that was like this so I wrote this in the past couple of days and tracked the song.

Hope you like,

Mike

    That is pretty awesome, Mike. Drums sound great, what are you using? I would guess Superior.

    The vocals, while fine, are a bit too straight to get the snotty attitude across. Some more whining and angst in your delivery would help a lot.

    Love the siren into the lead (which could come up some).


    I always look forward to your tunes.

    I think everything sounds really cool. I like the tune. I kept thinking of Green Day but I think a cross between The Kinks and The Ramones is more like it.

    I disagree with the previous  comment about the siren. I think it's fine where it is. The pauses are really well done. The only thing I would do is choke the cymbal at the end rather than let it ring.

    Excellent work!

    Real nice tune there and nicely performed too.  Shades of the Clash, Kinks, et. al.  (that's good).  Should be a real winner live.

    Drums are real drums tracked and layered with Steven Slate triggers, amazing sounding drum trigger libraries.

    Thanks very much for the kind words guys!

    Sweeeeet! Loved every minute of it! The sirens reminded me of Jail Break by Thin Lizzy.

    nice. fat sounding guitars mixed up there. 

    I concur on the vox and lead comments.

    enjoyed the song a lot.

    Hey, Mike,

    This is really excellent and very cool!


    Dynamite performances and great vocals with a modern punk rock vibe.  To me it felt like a fusion of Green Day and The Donnas with a splash of Blink 182 thrown in for good measure.


    The drums really sound fantastic, and the mix sounds right on the money for the genre.


    Really nice work!

    Quality is right, Fit right in on a greenday album, even production wise too. siren is a nice touch for sure.

    "Drums are real drums tracked and layered with Steven Slate triggers, amazing sounding drum trigger libraries".....

    What does that mean? they real or midi?!

    Basically you track your drums for real like you would normally and then use drum replacement software to replace or layer samples over the top. Think of it like a compressor - once a transient in the waveform goes over the threshold you set within the software, a sample is played. In this case, I layered all drums 50/50, for example, you're hearing 50% real snare, 50% a sample from a library. You CAN go 100% but to me if there isn't an inkling of real snare in it it's not gonna be "your" snare, kick etc, if you get me.

    Nice.

    Seems balanced and strong.

    I also feel a "Clash" influence or that band that does the theme for the TV show "Friends".

    Nice tune and performance,  mix sounds good here. :)

    Drums, do you use triggers on the trap set and record the midi notes,
    or use software to trigger the samples.   Just curious because I'm looking into
    doing such.  I only record live performance but would love to be able to use triggers
    and mic the set to give me the option to use samples later, love to on kick, snare and toms.
    Some of the drummers I have to record live have ****ty heads...... lol

    Enjoyed........... Tim

    If you want to use audio triggers I recommend either Drumagog (http://www.drumagog.com/) or Steven Slate's Trigger (http://www.slatedigital.com/). With Drumagog you get some great samples but in my opinion Slate has the edge with his new stuff, YMMV but I personally love his tones, great for pop/rock/punk/emo kind of stuff.

    Thanks for the responses :)

    Awesome track man, no nonsense rock! Good stuff, however, the only thing I could think of was a little too over-compressed, have a look at your wav, there ain't much dynamics, I know it's rock but maybe give the instruments a bit more space apart with panning etc, and should clean it up a bit, but overall, love it man!

    Everything is hard panned left or right bar the kick, snare, lead vocals and bass, it's compressed to reach -8RMS, sadly, the average now.
