ATTENTION:
I have changed profile. My new profile is found at http://bedroomsessions.bandamp.com/.

This is an early studio demo recording my band Wasted Days did.

It was one of the first songs we ever wrote and I have some fond memories from performing it! Looking back, it could have been done better (there are some glaringly off-key melody and bass parts...) but I just wanted to share this with you all.

Hey!

First I like to say I like the song itself.
Nice flow in the song and the chorus is really catchy in my opinion.
Great solo, fits the song perfectly!

Then about the mix:
In my opinion the overall mix is too tied up..there is just little space for each instrument, feels like they are stuck by eachother...
The solo is well mixed with the delay on it.
Also I miss a little expression on the vocal track...sing it like it's your last song !
Maybe it's nice to add some "aaaaah" to the chorus with background vocals...(although i'm not missing it either)
I hear that in the end there is some background vocal..but this one ain't coming thru very nice. Try dubbing it and pan them a little left and right of the main vocalist to give it a wider effect.

But hey I really like this song! :D:D:D

Greetings!

hey man, nice song!

good quality, nice groove, etc..

accidentally I played some notes on my keyboard during the intro drums and it sounded really great. Not for the song though, more for something new... Can I sample that intro drum? I'd love to play with my idea...

Anyway I really like this song, and I really can't find anything I don't like about it, it's just a good song.

Maybe you could post the lyrics? Sounds like they are interesting.

cheers....

Ah this is nice.

The only thing I'm not happy with is the tone on the guitars. Sounds like not enough drive, just a bit too weak.

Good lyrics. and vocals are done well...

Nice catchy chorus... and good drumming... yes, very nice...

I am not bulletproofed even voiceproofed. Sorry but I dont like the vocals. Lyrics are cool music too. You should better sing in a fan club of soccer (football).

It has some issues with the vocals, but otherwise this is a very cool song... nicely structured, simply but effective.

Re-record the vocals so I can rate it really high 

Good song simple and real ,yeah vocals could be sweeter but really not big deal.
They fit and the song works well

I think I'm hearing something that would be very distorted if I Cd'd it and stuck it on my home stereo-it did that with something else I liked up here enough to burn. In computer speaker application, it sounds like it's just barely not distorted, or slightly distorted now. Which would definitely sound not good on another set of speakers.

What helps me is to go run around all over the place with that CD, and see how it plays in different speakers. Car stereos, boom boxes, etc...

Which is too bad, because the song itself has things to offer the listener...the vocals...well. It's off-key here and there, esp. on any sustained notes, but I'm hardly knocking you, I have done just that 815,023 times myself. You'll hear it on the experimental TS stuff. Sustained notes are the hardest to keep in tune. Especially if you have any extenuating circumstances, drinking, just ate, just smoked, have a cold...

I want to hear it more like a singer would write it, not like a guitarist writes. For example, "Looking out for number...one." doesn't have a breath in the middle. Each phrase/sentence is one controlled breath. If it's a long sentence, you breathe where the comma would be/is. That gives you a nice legato feeling in the vocals. It's distracting to me to hear a breath there in the middle.

Yes, singers actually have discussions about these things. They even mark them on their music. We're deranged people.

I see your efforts here, and it shows, at any rate...

Hey guys, thanks for your feedback! What I'm hearing loud and clear is that the vocals need some work and I wholeheartedly agree. I've just emailed the guy who we recorded the demo with to dig up the original individual tracks so I have something to work off. I think I may re-record some of the guitars and even put a MIDI bassline in. At the very least the vocals will be re-done. At the time, I did them in one take with very little recording experience! Stay tuned and thanks again.

Oh, and the distortion thing can be explained easily... when I got the final mixdown, I thought it was too quiet... so I simply raised the volume too much 

Nothing I'm listening to this on very bassy headphones and it sounds good. Definitely think twice before replacing a real bass with a MIDI one (and I'm speaking as a keyboard player here  )

I downloaded this and ran it thru some mastering software I set it up for strip and clean not sure if it helped. Ill pm u if you want to hear it. 

I think this song is pretty good. I'm with Mr. Eden on the bass line. the guys doing a good job on bass, I liked the gtr solo too.
Diffrence of opinions on your voice, I like it but I think you could do a whole lot better.
still its a good recording and a fun song to listen too.

Good song - I like it.
Mix is pretty decent - but yes, it's too loud.  This would kill the speakers in my car!
