Everything'll Be Okay (Alternative Rock WIP)
« on: April 07, 2016, 02:05:58 am »
Hey! So I decided to step farther out of my production comfort zone and gave Alternative rock a shot, what do you guys think of my song so far?

Wow I think it sounds surprisingly good. Vocals sound a bit far away in the mix I think they need to be more upfront. Each sound could be cleaned up a bit with eq as well so they each have their own space in the mix and don't sound muddled. Did you use any real instruments for this? Like guitar or drums?

Not bad. Agreed with Munro Island, vocals need to get a bit louder. Also all the guitars might use a bit more 2k grit. Boost there a little. Also those breakdowns might use more spacey effects. Delays, reverb atc... But so far so good. :) The track itself is actually cool.
"Earth is round right? Look at it from right angle and you'll be always on top of the world."
...but don't overdo it, because that's called being a d***k.

Thanks! Yup, I recorded my guitar and sang for this. Everything was me minus the drums. I actually sampled the drums from Spaceman by The Killers

Thank you! Listening back I totally agree, the vocals are a definitely bit buried in there. And just to make sure, which sections are you referring to as the breakdowns?

No problem. 2:39 - 3:25
