Very powerful. Reminds me a bit of Celldweller...and something a lot darker

@Shawn - Thanks for listening. Yeah, I would imagine the intro is to your taste

@Philz - Yup, no crashes. I had two yesterday. Not sure if it was my fault (most likely) or Sonars (could happen) but I'm impressed with how well it works. 

    - Oh, and thanks for the compliment

@Dan - I've actually heard the Celldweller comment from others as well. But that's cool. I'm not sure the guy who wrote the song have actually ever heard them. Thanks for listening

Awesome song Marius!

I love the tone on the guitars 
 
 

Hey Strummy!


Thanks for that! Yeah, the gutiars came out alright, even though their just processed through GR4. I've tweaked the mix a little. Will update the link soon

Just had a listen. Love the song. I would like to hear the strings more forward at 2:45 make a statement with them, but maybe thats just me. Great, powerfull sound

Hey Stuart!


Thanks for taking the time to listen and to comment. Your suggestion is noted. I will definitely look into that. I've been tinkering with some adjustments to the mix and will definitely look into bringing the strings more forward. At least give it a little bit of experimentation;) I am trying to get them more demanding on the final part as well. But the song get's so busy there that it 's actually quite challenging

Thanks for you comment and suggestion, hopefully I'll have a new mix out during the weekend or by early next week.

Hey everyone!

I just put up a new mix. The link is in the opening post. I just did some minor tweaks to some levels on the vocals and adjusted the drums a little. Some other things to. I didn't really keep track of what I did and just went along with it.

I put it through Ozone this time so it's close to mastered now

I believe it sounds better. I hope so. I'm sending it off to my friend who wrote it.


Thanks for all the nice comments - I really appreciate you taking the time to listen to this.

Re the busy end. After i have spent hours working on getting the best sound out of Chris' playing we sit down together and have an editing session. There are parts which i think he has played so well, but he just cuts and dumps them. I would never dare, but the result is always a better more open composition which gives other parts space to breathe. Some of the most important musical parts are the ones you leave on the cutting room floor.
 
So be bold!!
 

ProjectM,  This is cool stuff man.  Nice work.  I like the dynamics, the dark feel, how heavy this gets & proper use of screams in hard rock!  (I personally feel they are best used as accents, or for emphasis... too many bands never STOP screaming and it gets old fast.  Sounds cool hear though)  I am listening on a crap system so I won't post any mix crits, but all elements are present & that is usually a good sign for a mix.  Kudos!

Yeah, cuting out the fluff is a good idea some times. I tried to edit out some stuff at the end there that just messed up the sound and make the arrangement a little cleaner while trying to maintain the energy. I think it went pretty well. "Kill Your Darlings" is usually a good term to remember when it comes to editing out stuff. I've tried to be bold in this last version.
 
I just had a chat with Gunnar, the guy who wrote the song. He hasn't heard any of this little re-work project until tonight and he was thrilled! And that makes it worth it. He doesn't do much music anymore but he said he'd bring out his guitar tomorrow. That makes me happy
 
Hey Chuck! Thanks for listening and the comments. I'm one of those who usually bring the screams throughout the entire song - but I see what you mean and I agree. However, when done well it can be good. Sometimes I succeed, sometimes I don't. But that's music for ya This song is a hybreed weirdo song. I decided that I wouldn't put any restraints on how I did the vocals because this will probably never be played live. I think it worked really well on this track. And I fell in love with the Console Emulation for screaming vox, it really placed them in the mix.
 
Thanks for the kudos
