SDUGF Collaboration with Hoss!

Re: SDUGF Collaboration with Hoss!

Nice one lads!

Some great tones and strums going on there, they really sit well together and the instrument level mixes sound fine to my ears on monitor speakers.

Hoss dude, I didn't know you had such a soulful set of lungs on ya!!!
I could believe that you actually wrote those words with the amount of feeling you chucked at them. Good to put a voice to a face as well ....

With headphones on, the vocal sits a wee bit low in the mix, through speakers it sounds a bit better, and sounds spot on through the Macbook onboard jobbies. Suppose it's just what you listen on that makes the difference.

I'm not going to try to search for things I'd change if it was mine, (it's certainly better mixed than my garageband effort), but my only criticism is the pretty sudden fade-out at the end (but that's just maybe me - I'm a sucker for a good fade-out :) )

Well done to yas, a worthy contribution to this years compo disc :friday:
Thanks for the compliments brother! The best compliment i could get is the one about the feelings...i honestly try to connect to every song I sing...and i'll sing it over and over and listen to it until i feel like i'm in it...if you know what i mean?!

I loved doing it and we're already talking about what's next! It was so easy singing to what Dennis had put together for me...his tone and playing were AWESOME!!!

Here's the real deal to compare it to!

Ha! I used to play this tune all the time in university. Nice job . . . not much to add to what the other guys said, vocals seem a little too far back. Guitars/bass/drums are all bang on.
 
Re: SDUGF Collaboration with Hoss!

Thanks guys! I really get a kick out of this. Much appreciated and glad to entertain!
I'm surprised that many of you say that the vocals are too low in the mix? Sounded fine from my monitors...
But that's something I can and will adress. I'll be posting a lil update later!

I love, love, love Pearl Jam. ;) Hoss, you know I love your voice... nothing's ever gonna change there! We need to hear your voice in a treated room with a good mic. You can hear all the space around your vocals and it sounds thin and clashes with the more upfront recording of the other instruments, but your singing is spot on as usual (and that's the most important thing anyhow). The guitars sounded really great in the mix, just the perfect amount of compression for my taste. Getting a great lead tone on tape is not easy, but it was done on this track. I really, really liked the tone and when I saw pics of the rig, I knew why (not many people are more enthusiastic than me when it comes to Bogner...hehe). I wish there was more compression on the vox and I wish they were brought up a db or two, but all in all it was a good cover :)

Thank you very much!
I'm gonna take one more shot at mixing the vocals so it will be right by the time this song hits the album.
 
Re: SDUGF Collaboration with Hoss!

Final cut is done and (Hoss will) send to Robert for the SDUGF cd part 3!
Super stoked to be part of it and I owe it to Hoss to bump this new version up. His vocals are much better in the mix now! I even added a tambourine at the end... :D
Cheers guys. :friday:
