Denis - Music
cojo - Lyrics
As the title suggests this track is designed to open a concert.
I messed around with the crowd samples so that they sound real to the music, at the very end you can hear a man shouting what sounds like "Den, Den...." lol
Wow Cubase 5 was great for editing the female vox samples on this.
I did not intentionally try to get a dirty sound, but think it works well trying to capture a live performance.
Would like to hear your views on the mix. I used the Les Paul for the guitar on the rhythm pick up with new Seymour Duncan pickups. Not sure on the brass, would have preferred something more dirty natural sounding.
*EDIT - I've since worked on the vocals, hence they are a bit muffled in this cut

Cup those ears
And get the Beers
Now's the time to lose your fears
Tap your feet
And hit the beat
Clap your hands and feel the heat
And if it's too much
Then look don't touch
But lose your troubles and join with us.
It's Friday night,
The girls won't bite,
Smile with us and you'll be all right
So Just be free
And sing with me
Doesn't matter if you're just off Key
It's Rock or Blues
It's what you choose
Yes sing with us and hit your cues
And if it's too much
Then look don't touch
But lose your troubles and join with us.

Nice! I'm only able to listen in headphones at the moment, but it sounds like a pretty good approximation of a live event, crowd and all. That's kind of a neat change from what I'm used to hearing. 
Guitar and drums sound nice a warm. Backup singer(s) in the chorus are also nicely done. (How much "editing" of the female vocal samples did you do on this one?)

So All I had to do in this case was reduce the tempo, Cubase did this without effecting audio quality too much. After selecting which bars I wanted want in Cubase 5, Audio>Process>Time Stretch (it shrinks as well)> then finally I think I clicked on where it shows markers or similar. Found the tutorial on YouTube. I'll edit this later with a link for anyone who's interested.

Nice, nice! Yeah I wouldn't have noticed any edits on those vocals at all. 
After the introduction of "Techno.Denis" we meet "Motown-Denis" now. This ´shorty` makes me lot of fun and my ass moving. 
Sadly it´s quite short. 
One point for me to fix : Vox is bit too low to me , so I´d raise it up to seperate it from the "crowd". And maybe it can also work if you add some lower freqs to ya vox so that it differs more from the cheering crowd(hi-and mid freqs).

I've since messed around with the lead vocal Eq, layering - I'll experiment see what turns up.
May be I'll keep it as it is and lead it into another song, could be the 1st Track on an album.
Noticed also the Bass drum was a bit boomy when I listened to it in the car today.
You've really been getting into your Cubase 5
With excellent results to
Did you only make the one OoooYeaa ?
Make a few more, make a few original copies as in copy paste rename the original file in Windows Explorer then load them into Cubase and edit each one separately.
I also think your vocal is on the low side compared to the rest ... though it does, with the cheering sound fairly live.
Yes it's short, because it's very enjoyable

There's something about this that reminds me of the old "Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels" stuff from the 60's. The "rock and roll meets soul" feel of the song, the rambunctious crowd, the chick "ooo -yeah" chorus, even the vocals being a bit low in the mix. It feels like a live recording. I think it is possible that nothing really needs fixing....
