Production help ( Poppy rock/punk song )

Ahellam · 6th November 2005, 11:20 PM

This is a one day demo production of a song I will be re recording with a band in about 2 weeks. I would love to hear opinions on the song/production and how great/crap/exciting/boring it is.
I would love to hear some ideas of some stuff that isnt in there already too.

Thanks!

Nice tune, here. A few remarks:

1) Vocals are significantly too far behind except for in the low key bridges.
2) Vocals sound good, in tune, and natural for the genre.
3) Guitars in the upbeat segments are awfully big, wide, and similar in timbre. Consider spreading them out less so as to leave room for some other element - ? keys. Find some other timbres too. The low end in the guitar parts seems very constand across the board to me.
4) The clean guitars in the bridges are very nice - particularly the clean arpeggiation part panned left.

I like this work overall, and anticipate that it'll really come together well with the band.

Best wishes,

John-
