I added a new version of the song. I messed with the eq a bit. It isn't so edgy. It has a much warmer sound.
I listened to the new one. I liked it. Make a CD with similar stuff and I might buy it.

Sounds good. The guitar solos are waay too messy.
syncopation is one thing, but they are WAAY too messy right now.

It sounds great on my HD497s. I'd definitely buy a CD of similar music if you made one.

well, i'll have try harder the next time on a different track, cause I like it. I was more concerened about nailing the melody in my head not nailing every note precisely. The guitar wasn't prewritten. I just jammed to the core track about 9 times and cut out the best of the best......
edit, .... thanks though, I know you have a good ear.....

yea, if I im correct, those are pretty expensive right? how is the eq balance? Can you set your receiver's eq to flat and tell me what you think could be adjusted?? I'd really appreciate it....

Nah, they're not very expensive (retail is around $50 I think). I don't have them hooked up to a receiver with an EQ right now and don't really know a whole lot about stuff like that, I just know it sounds really good

Well, I met my dreamgirl. Unfortunately, she loves me not.
If you like Santana, 311, Joe Satriani, or Jason Mraz, you will like what she inspired to make. I made a song about my experience.
She Loves Me Not
its short and you can stream via the link, just lick and you'll find your way.

so, is the mix ok? like is the eq decent? I have good monitors and sometimes my mixes sound great in the monitors, but when they get played on the average stereo, they are too treblely or too bassy.
opinions?

where's the high end? it sounds like you low-passed it at 6K. also, if you compressed the mix (and i'm guessing you did), i'd use longer attack times to retain some of the punch, or else back off the limiter if that's what you used. but overall, the mix itself is well-done.
also, i'm not sure exactly what you were going for artistically regarding all the different guitars sort of coming in and out, but it seems like sometimes there's cool stuff going with guitars that aren't getting enough prominence. (though after listening to the entire song it makes more sense).
i do a lot of layered guitar stuff with my band, and when i have melodies and counter-melodies like you have, i will pan them at least a little left and right to aid seperation, especially on systems that don't sound super great. but you've done a good job using different sounds together to keep everything in its own space.
and i like the song and the guitar playing is tight and well-defined.

its compressed at 128. I scooped out the high end around 12k. Instead of panning I used an effect called surround. I put one guitar in regular mode, the other in surround. Its a pretty effective way to let things share space without panning them out....
thanks for the good words.... I don't want it to sound toooo perfect, so it sounds just rough enough to be real.

i meant dynamic compression, not data compression. i did notice the surround effect. i usually just double the part (play it twice, pan left and right). but anyway, i'd bring the high end back. above 12K is where a lot of the "air" in a mix is, which can help it sound real.
