Hey mates, I talked about my new Symphonic Metal band in an older topic, so I'd like to share with you our first song.
http://soundcloud.com/dino-trnka/dolia-winter-queen-1 Everything was done in Cubase with Guitar Rig. I won't talk much about it, I'll let the music speak for itself. So... Please tell me what you think about the song, the overall feel, the instruments, vocals, the production and of course, the guitar solo. Looking forward to your opinion, thanks a lot in advance! Cheers! |

Wow, thanks a lot Sir for such a detailed feedback! You guys really give the best feedback, this is exactly what we need right now! ...And we definitely need a better microphone because vocals are sometimes too silent and other times too loud. All in all - your're totally right, there is room for improvement! ... Nice composition and playing/singing but +1 with Gab's comments on the mix - it does need some more attention. You need to not just consider the vox mic but the preamp that is being use and you should consider using a compressor on it. To some extent though you need a more consistent recording and performance with attention to mic technique. This isn't questionng whether she has a nice voice and can sing but on being able to hold, position and work a mic appropriately. Vox needs de-essing quite a bit as well. With reverb - you can either use reverb as an obvious effect or as ambience. In the recording, to me, the vox reverb here is used as an effect and IMHO it doesn't work. I'd suggest that you use reverb on this recording more as abience and be more subtle with it. Bass and low mid range is rather lost in the mix and as both Gab and Chris say the mix sounds thin and it also a little like it was recorded in a long tunnel. Related to this your instrument balance and positions needs some work - drums are too low and lack power, etc. -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.
