@lilith I just love your sound! Another great track with lots of interesting sounds and variations.

I like how this track weaves in and out of blues, blues rock, and psychedelic rock. The intro adds a lot, I think. I think your guitar performance is excellent on the solo. Nicely done. I also like the vocal performance, which sounds so even-keel over such a rockin' song, although I agree that it ne...

I really like the choir synths, but they are a little hot in the mix and overwhelm the lead vocals. I also really like the portamento theremin-like sound that comes in at about 4:00.

Very nice track! The sounds are well chosen and balanced. Changes are enough to keep interest through the piece. And I love the guitar! That was just what the composition needed.

Nice vintage punk sound. Reminds me of early Joy Division, complete with undecipherable lyrics. Except that you sing in tune.

I often have a handful of things cooking at the same time, but usually most are on the backburner. Right now I have three recordings started, but only one has seen progress in the last 6 weeks.

Vocals sometimes are the hardest part.

Agreed! The human voice is a deceptively difficult instrument to learn.

I received it as a single stereo track, and I don't recall putting any effects on that track. I could have used a multiband compressor, I suppose, to bring out the bass frequencies. Also, no h...

Milo, Great song! I loved the harmonies, it's not common to hear these kind of harmonies in mainstream music today. The arrangement sounds great too, the piano leads the song but the guitar parts and percussion fits very well. I liked the way the drums were mixed, kind of low and not so loud. Great...

Good tutorial. Thanks for posting!

Welcome to the forum!

Welcome to the forum. Glad to have you here.

Thanks for listening! I have grown more and more fond of this song since we finished the recording.

I'm curious to know more about your workflow. How did you make the field recordings? Were the original field recordings in mono or stereo? Did you use any spatial effects plugins, like stereo wideners, echo delay, etc? The result sounds very convincing in headphones.
