Whelp, I recorded an original tune with vocals.

[Stevo]

Very nice. I like your voice and the guitar tones. Sounds a bit retro 70s to me... which is cool for me cuz I'm old. And remember, the audience is full of "experts"

My gf likes your song very much. Let me tell you, she's hard to please too. But she does like a couple nickleback tunes so. . ....

Ouch, that was cruel!

Ouch, that was cruel!

Hahaha it honestly wasn't meant to disparage the song, I really love it and so does she. She mentioned how she likes the lyrics last night.

Still, it was very cleverly designed, highfive!

Good stuff Steve!

I like it. The only thing I would do to it is maybe turn the bass down a tad and turn the drums up a little bit, but those are just my personal preferences. Don't sell yourself short on your voice.

Good stuff Steve!

Thanks!

Yeah, I'm hearing what you're taking about with the drums. I think that I need to take more breaks when mixing stuff, perception of balance between tracks seems to go out the window after too long listening to the same thing over and over.

Ear fatigue is a very real phenomenon. It helps to listen through different speakers (or in a home situation, go back & forth between speakers and headphones). Pro studios always have at least two sets of monitors, some have more.

Mixing takes time and concentration; it's easy to forget to take breaks every once in a while.

Sometimes people think they've got a great mix done, but on listening the next day it's far from good.

Turned out well. Good job.

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the comments!

This song would be a breath of fresh air If I was driving down the road and it came on.
This song has potential.
