| Absence |    |
So I've just finished recordning this song. I locked myself up in my studio yesterday and, well,
this is how it all ended up. I hope you like it
Like I've said before, I'm not THAT into the studio/mixing/editing/mastering..-Thing..
so any constructive criticism is highly appreciated too
Take Care
//adam
I feel just like a leaf on an autumn-tree
that won't fall off
and the winter's been so long and cold
without you
and don't know why I'm hangin' on
But here I am, I'm standing right here in the rain
but if this is where you at
then the weather won't bother me at all..
and you're the reason to why I can't
sleep alone
I try to tell myself that
you're not worth this love at all
but you tear me apart with you're absence
and here I am, I'm standing right here in the rain
but if this is where you at
then the weather won't bother me at all..
but I can not stand this no more
I cry myself to sleep
and dream of you
you're in my head but I'm not in yours so
I'm letting you go now 'cause
I found what love's about in another set of eyes
please untie me..

Writing as listening.
The delay in the guitar sounds a bit odd. I suggest a reverb instead of the dealy, or maybe a slower delay.
The voice sounds good; warm and solid. A little more room would work great for the strong parts. Gives them more emotion. Again, some reverb there.
Starting with percussion in the middle would help a lot too to give it more dynamism.
Good work.

Sounds really good! Beautiful song!
You could have some reverb on the vocals, and I would maybe turn down the high octave vocal in the mix just a bit. To give it an even more "cozy" sound.
If I would record this, I would probably don't line the guitar directly into the soundcard. (It sounds as you did
It is really a wonderful song you've got here!

I see what you mean there. and I actually tried a few things with the chorus 'cause I think it's a bit.. I dunno, I'm not 100% happy with the high parts.. I'll see if I can find some sort of room-eq too.
and yeah, the delay, I think it IS a bit odd too, but I really like it though. but I have to agree, it makes the song go out of beat (is that how you say it?). but eeeah.
anyway, thx for the comment Iszil

Nice song.
Other than whats already been mentioned, I would create a stereo tracks for the guitar and pan the rhythm track hard left and right, the lead at about 40% left and right. You may have to put different eq on each channel if the guitar was recorded in mono. Personally I record acoustic guitars with two mics, a dynamic & a condenser, hence the mics sound a little different, which creates a more distinct stereo image, but two identical mics still would be nice, if you don't have a mic preamp, you could use a mixer, if you have one. I used to use an old tape multitracker as a mixer, it worked really well.
Some of the vox I think sounds nice without reverb, it creates a more intimate feel.
I can remember that Toastedgoat had a formula to work out the delay settings to work perfectly with what ever bpm. Then it depends on the melody and how loud the delay (repeats) are and how many. You just have to play around with it until it sounds right. You could use a combination of reverb and delay, that will thicken up the sound, but I don't think song needs it.
Can I hear chorus is some of the vox parts?
I enjoyed listening

| Hi Denis! |
Yeah I'm workin' on recording another song right now, (kinda startet to get bored with this one so..)
but I'll see what I can do with the stereo-idea, absolutely. I have one condenser mic and one dynamic but I believe the dynamic mic is Really bad, but I dunno, I'll give it a try. Thank you for the tip!
Hmm that sounds really nice, perhaps I should send a mail to him and ask what kind of mystical formula we're talking about here, it sounds very useful. I think the main problem with the delay is that I didn't even take the time of adjusting it, I just found an effect in Guitar Rig, if u know that plug-in, it's like, one pre amp, one amp, one effect, one tuner, haha you know everything on top of each other so I just wheren't that keen on tryin to find out wich one who controled what at that moment.
Yes you hear right, dunno exactly if I should say Chorus but, I made a darker "vox-line" (?) here and there. can't find the word...
Thank you very much Denis, always appreciated.

lovely guitar playing and beautiful song
vocals are too dry to my ears, put a little room on that track and it spices up the atmosphere
thx for the song

I love the guitar and i think the delay effect fits very well. My goodness you have an amazing voice.
the guitar is super chill and this is really a beautiful song. rated! I like the dual vox thing you do during the "chorus" or whatever. really cool effect. this song is so bright but so dark at the same time. i love it. i really enjoyed listening.
I like the effects that you used on the vocals at some parts, it fit so perfectly. excellent composition and excellent work.

wow, Thanks guys, wasn't really expecting that.
I am so happy you like it though, 'cause I think it's my best song so far
, and I've put some work into it. So this was really nice to hear.
thank u thank u

Nice track, lovely guitar work.
Good construction
Good vocal delivery (yes, lower the higher harmony to keep the mood - and add just a touch of reverb; don't use so much chorus fx)
Guitar sounds fine to me, but Denis comes up with a great way of adding stereo separation and dynamics.
Enjoyed this one
Well done.

All in all I like this song. Good guitar work and I like the FX on the guitar track. Vocals are a little dry but I know vocals are one of the hardest to record right. You start adding FX and before you know it they sound separated and detached from the rest of the song. Nice overall feel though....Skunk
man, If only there was a little pad synth in the background, could be a soundscape
good job

| many Thanks! |
yeah these high vox-parts.... I haven't learned to record/mix them properly I guess.
and I fully agree with you SkunkApe, pretty freakin' hard, but people manage to do it so,
guess it's all about experience but I'm getting there!
Thank you inuke!
Aarondeager, yeah I uhm.. I gave it a thought, adding some thin synth-track in the background, or Strings has become my personal favorite (if you listen to my other song "J") but it just didn't happen.
..hmm feels like there's much going on in my studio that never fully "happens"...
Anyway, thank You and all you guys above for the comments
