...So it is. Whoops. My apologies. I guess that officially plants my foot firmly in my mouth in terms of how carefully I listened to the song. My bad.ken wrote:

Originally I had sung that part in falsetto, then asked my housemate to sing it instead. I almost used both, but alas, I left the falsetto out.Stolar Skye wrote:...So it is. Whoops. My apologies.

Actually it was meant to be, so that's good! Without being too pretentious the various sections of music represent different things - the verses are the tight ordered life of the protagonist, the choruses are chaotic reality banging at the door, and the end is meant to represent death - as the character dies and takes his silly ordered control-freak nature (the noodling) to Heaven, where 'vines are growing on the Pearly gates' (the chaotic, 'abstract', punk-out part) - the simple message being 'what's the point of trying to impose order on a world of beautiful chaos?'mc3p0 wrote:Johnny Cashpoint ...

Heh. You should see me in London after 7pm most nightsEven though you are bloody British, your voice is a lot more understandable than, say, Exeter technical support or London past 7pm.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean here, or more specifically what it's trying to accomplish. Do you mean running all the instruments through a bus separate from the drums and vox?j$ wrote:Hmmm, interesting. I was trying a different technique with the mixing (i.e. bouncing all the music down into one track - which is something Blue suggested in a thread a while back, only I probably misunderstood / got it wrong)deshead wrote: I think the song overall would improve with a rounder bass tone.

Probably that would work, though it depends what you're doing to the grouped track. The pitfall with this approach is that, if the rest of the instruments are "warm" to begin with, adding those frequencies to the bass will just muddy things up. And if you try to clean the mud with an EQ cut, you'll lose warmth.j$ wrote:I thought the overall result is it sounded thin / a little tinny in the mix - maybe I was just mistaking a lack of bass warmth - could I get away with exciting the bass part in ozone before mixing it all together, do you think ... or should I abandon the grouping idea altogether?

I spent maybe 30 minutes on it, recording and mixing. That's all the time I had because I also had to paint the master bathroom before my wife came home and caught me. No time to mess around wth an amp: guitar straight into the soundcard.
