It`s been a while since I`ve recorded a song, but I finished this one last week. Got some help from a couple of friends with the bass guitar and the solo guitar.

Any feedback is apreciated :)

Certainly hear the emotion in this song and that comes across very well. Nicely recorded and very poignant for the current time. 

I agree with Adrian's comment. Very nice job on this Øyvind! I'd like to hear a little more top end on the snare, but other than that, I think the mix is pretty good as a whole.

The emotion comes across, I do wonder if there is a little to much compression and perhaps not enough upper mid.  Some interesting playing in that but it sounds hidden away.  Thanks for sharing.

Nice solid modern rock! I like it a lot! Strong vocal performance and pretty cool guitar stuff. (Nicely shredded solo)
Snare could be a little more in the face, indeed. What I've noticed is the chopped guitar riff driving the song, which is great b.t.w., is hanging all the way to right through the entire song. I found that slightly distracting. I would have
double-tracked the part and panned it hard L/R. Just my 2cents.
Good stuff all around!
 
Cheers,
Daniel
 

A fine song that is Øyvind, and what a great vocal performance.  Kind of makes me wish I would have had you sing my song Menace On The Loose when I was doing it (song about violence in the world).  Personally I would have liked to have heard a bit more of the that fine vocal, but maybe that's just me.  Great song, great performance.

Your voice is magical.  I'd like to hear it in other contexts, other than when its true to your style.  Your pieces are so full of emotion.  It's really rare.

Øyvind . . . it's a brilliant rock'n tune, I'm really enjoying listening to it.
Gutsy vocals, nice guitar work . . . it's got it all except a great mix.
I'm hearing that because of the excess of compression, you either need to cut some low end, or bump up the 3-4k range of the vocals, so the vocal comes through clearer (I couldn't really decipher the vocals until I listened closely on headphones) . . . Øyvind, I'm even feeling sorry for my criticism of your mix, but I believe it's such a great tune, that it really deserves more experimenting with the mix to get it perfect.

Wow, Thank you all for great feedback!
 
Your accusations of too much compression on the vocals is probably spot on! Maybe I should try some more volume automation to take some load of the compressors?
 
I will look at the snare, and maybe add some top end to bring it out a bit :D
 
Regarding the guitar, Maybe it`s a good idea to hardpan, like Daniel said? I already have two guitars har panned (pumping through the whole song), would that interfere with hardpanning the riff guitar?
 
Again, thank you very much for all the kind words and for helping me pointing out issues in the mix!

I`m not sure if I understand what you mean about the chopped guitar riff... Are you refering to the pumping guitar..?
