Sibob Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 (edited) Sounds good to me!! Programmed drums? The vocals get a tiny bit lost in the mix for me, could be just my speakers though. But yeah, great song! Si Edited April 23, 2008 by Sibob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queenofthedepths Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I can hear what you mean about the vocals, Si... same goes for the backing vocals All of the other songs sound great though! Does sound a lot like Coldplay and Athlete's first albums (the best one's, IMO) - very impressive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul, the Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 (edited) Am I the only one who hasn't been to a member of Embrace's house? --- The band sounds great, Jake. I like the arrangement, but +1 on the vox. The singer doesn't sound at ease with it, maybe too much rehearsal? It all lifts at around 2:43, though, with the early '90s guitar sound. It sounds great, but I do think it's worth another pop. What do you think of it? edit: nice tone, btw. And very tasteful lines.

Backing vocals we can't do much about, as me and the drummer arn't the best of singers you see! Bass tone wise, warwick streamer LX ---> di ---> Protools/cubase on those recordings, so its pure bass, then software compressors etc.. Cheers about the basslines, i try to keep things interesting but not take anything away from the song. -Jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listened to it the 2nd time and thought hmm, then 3rd time round i can't turn it off, like totally amazing. lol, its different but its still damn good. -Jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Burpster Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Jake, Love the song, like the arrangement, agree with the others about the vox, and somehow it all sounds a bit too "clean" (maybe clinical) if that makes sense..... cant quite put my finger on it - and I'm not an expert and maybe you'll end up with that mix, but playing around with a bit more, cant hurt can it?

They came first, and are immeasurably better (in my opinion of course, before the deluge of angry British Embrace fans start getting antsy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
