Sounds dope man - I think the vocals sound a little tired though and burried and confusing - like they are mixed tracked now . I think you guys can do it better. Nice song -

Thanks for the kind words and input.. Can you elaborate a little more on the vox?

We were trying to for more of a "not so polished" sound on the rythyms of the vox and just leave it spontaneous..

Like you would hear sitting around a campfire or a bunch of guys in a boxcar..

BTW.. this was mixed on a toft Atb..

Anyone else? Please feel fre to comment..

Hi I'm drunk so I will write simple...

I want the voice to feel exciting and pushed forward - warm and silky!

Your version sounds like his singing through a AKG 414 - same mic you tracked the instruments with - it's hard to hear the voice and it's sleepy.

I think the vocals should stand out more - and be more driven,...

excuse the english...

more beer... enjoyed the song -

Heyman,

I really like the sound of the instruments. But like others have said, I would really, really like to hear some sizzle on the vocal. Open him up just a little bit and it's all good.

Or maybe I'm just losing to much hearing now.

Ok, I think I got it.. The vocal performance needs some sizzle, not the sound itself....
A little more life in them..

Thanks guys...


Anyone else?

Man, I hope I didn't confuse. The vocal perforamce is fine. I dunno, maybe some boost at around 3.7 khz. Don't know what that = on the Toft eq though but I can dial it right in on my DM24 which just happens to be subbed into my Toft and it adds some sparkle to "my" vocal stuff. But YMMV.
