Outside opinions needed

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey guys, I just wanted to get your opinion of a song I'm working on. Right now, it's awaiting vocals and mixing. The tentative title is "Savings and Loans" (the lyrics are about being taken advantage of financially). The drums are sequenced with ezdrummer. Is there any glaring faults that I need to address before proceeding? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Nice sounding tune I dig it!

If I could change anything it would be to fatten up the bass sound and bring it as well as the Kick Drum out some more. But I am a bass player and am biased towards such things as Basses and Kickdrums lol.

I agree the bass needs to be more punchy, clearer in the mix. Guitar & Drums sounds a bit sterile/ thin, a bit of echo or reverb to round the sound out?

Playing and structure seem fine.

Your lines are good, as previously mentioned bring forward in the mix a little more and it'll be a cracking song when the mix is complete.

Thanks for the comments guys. I'm kind of struggling with the bass sound. I cant find a happy medium between too quiet and booming. How do the drums sound? I feel like I may have gone a little overboard with the fills. I'll probably record the vocals sometime within the next week. I'll repost it then.
