Hi, i know you guys from TH band are reading this, so here goes:
After listening to the song "Letter to Self", i feel tt u guys have done a decent job. Song has good structure, even though it's abit cliche-d, it is still a good formula for a succesful song. Mixing was pretty well done i feel, considering the constraints. But of course, Audition is such a versatile software, more things could be experimented i guess.
Some points to improve on:
- Play with the metronome! Time keeping was abit rushed at some parts. And overall is not very very tight. For tightness, check out John Molina Band at Rouge. Maybe it's the drummer tt he can't play to the metronome. But it's ok, i only know a few who really can keep to it.
- Singer's R sound: No idea why, but it gets on me. Abit too pronounced. Like Shirui's problem too.
- Drums mixed abit too loud. Guitar too soft. Bass clipped at some parts.
- Guitar's tone is too muffled for rhythm. But tone is subjective.
- Keyboard parts are way too simple le la. More licks! Maybe let it play the vocal melody to enhance the chorus or smthing. Tt's y pianist can never play the keyboard. Totally different world.
Aight tt's abt it. At least this time, the CD looks more promising than my brother's era. Strained!
