What do you think about this production?

Any feedback would be great on the second song - Netti and Siri / Full Band
 
Would anyone that you know buy a song like this one? Vocals and left speaker acoustic guitar recorded in Norway. The rest was recorded here in my little North Carolina bedroom / studio.

I did a little mastering to it and rolled the bass off at 35. Before it was around 50. Maybe this is a little better?

Great song all the way around. Can't find anything wrong.

Superb Michael! Nice tune and the acoustic guitar sounds divine!

Thanks,

 
I appreciate it!

I will try to correct the problems.

Thanks!

I live near Holden Beach, about 30 miles from Wilmington and 50 miles from Myrtle Beach. Where are you?

Michael, I loved it, especially the guitar and vocals. I would interested to know how the guitar(s) were recorded and the effects at mixdown. thanks,

Thanks Everyone for your nice comments!
 
On the acoustic guitars, the left guitar is panned 70 left, has more bass eq than right guitar, has some compression, and using hall reverb on a buss that all tracks are being sent to for their reverb.
 
The right guitar is panned 70, is using a thinner eq rolled off at 249 for more sparkle, it is moved 128th forward in time, has a plugin called Waves Doubler 4, compression, and hall reverb. It was recorded without a microphone, just using the guitars Martin Thinline pickup. That's about it.
 
On mixdown, I just used the same Hall reverb for all tracks with the same settings except for the lead guitar. It has a little more reverb. Mastering, I used a Linear eq bass cutoff at 40 with a 7k bump, T-Racks vintage compressor, and a brick wall limiter set at 1.7 so it would barely give it some boost. I think the final RMS is around 12.

Thanks!

Here is a better link with two versions!

I really like the singing, the melodies, the guitar riffs, the overall vibe of the song! I'm not blown away by the production/recording though; I think the drums and guitar could be bigger and stronger, particularly in the chorus. It sounds like it could be mastered a bit more as well (that could also give the drums more punching power). Guitar could be performed a bit better in some places, in verse2 I noticed a few spots it was off. I think the rhythm guitar could use some compression as well. Hope all this helps! -Jeff

The track seems to be left side dominant.  Otherwise, this is an excellent track.  She can really sing.  The band is top notch!  Excellent song writing.

Nice tune and production.  The left side is a little strong on my rig too.  Sounded a little bit squeezed to me when the band kicked in...just a hair dark...but that may be the encoding.  I wasn't happy with my last upload to soundcloud relative to the wav file.

I clicked your link and got 3 songs. So, I don't know what song you're talking about. I started listening to the first one, but the widening effect on the vocal made me stop. Sorry, it just really bothered me. I'm pretty sure I would like the song and style if it was more listenable without weird artifacts.

Ok can I suggest you make it a little more easy to find the track we are suppose to be listening to.  I hope it's the first track.

Ok pretty generic sort of stuff, sorry not my cup of tea.  The mix is good you have the chops, I suggest for the master use a steeped EQ (this may not be the correct term) I will explain it as best as I can, using the Sonitus EQ set up 4 hi-pass filters and set them all at 40hz, then using your ear set the Q, I normally have all four a different strengths eg: 1 at 2.0, 2 at 1.5 ect ect.  What this does is allow you to create and control the hi-pass curve, so that means it can have a bump at 100 if that is what you want.  If you don't understand the concept ask me again.

Another thing I don't think it is the bottom end that is your problem, try taking out a couple of DB at the 400hz mark this will get rid of the mud.

Another thing to do is find the dominent upper harmonic of the track mostly around that 3.5Khz to 6Khz mark, this will help the track sparkle a little more.

Peace Ben

My last upload on Soundcloud has that same grainy low end warble that I hear on yours...not sure what's up with that, but I didn't notice it at Ourstage.  I may try to put my last tune up on my soundclick for comparison.
