wow, great stuff!. It's lost that tears for fears feel, now has a Techno/RichieBRainbow? feel, lol, not that it has to sound like anyone else that's just what I do
Not my style, but I do like what you've done spud and the mix/engineering side of it is sounding 'slick as' mate.
Will there be some Spud backing tracks coming out soon?

Spud......Kudos for trying something different. I really like the drum and vocals. Just my personal taste.....but I could do without the synth and techno-feel of the tune. Interesting final guitar work and I think it fit perfectly.

Very nice!

That was really cool, I totally dig it. There's some borderline goth/metal sounds in there too

What I must say is the production is fantastic! Really good job.

Spudman,

Sounds Great! I know how hard it can be to bring all of this technology together to make your song come together. It can force you to use both sides of your brain (the technie side, and the artist side).

The guitar solo rips! this sounds great! I love the tone and the modal sound that you're using. The harmonized parts sound cool also. I like how the synth takes over the solo at the end of the guitar solo.

Great job.

I use EZ Drummer also. I'm a huge fan of it. You can get some very convincing sounding drum parts with it, and it doesn't talk back, always shows up on time, doesn't overplay unless you want it to, and never has it's drum kit at the pawn shop :-)

Thanks Jim.

I am enjoying EZ Drummer quite a bit. Being able to have each mic/drum on separate tracks is really useful to achieving a great drum track (which I might be able to do one day).

The possibilities are endless really. What I've noticed since I started doing this project is that now I pay attention to how things sound and are mixed, their timber etc. Also, arrangement and song construction. It really is an eye opening experience...especially with cut and paste.

Yes, exactly. When you start putting your own songs together and playing the producer role it really makes you begin to listen to the other parts more carefully, rather than just focusing so much on your guitar playing. Since I got involved in recording it has helped me to see how important it is listen to the way in which the parts sound together, leaving room for each other. It's also helped me to see how important it is to play meaningful parts that add something to the song. I started to appreciate recordings where the parts meshed together really well (I'm still impressed with what the Beatles could do with only 4 tracks). I find myself listening to recordings differently now, trying to identify what kind of guitars and keyboard sounds they used, what kinds of effects are on them, etc. It also made me change the way I play in a live situation, such as changing up my sound slightly during a chorus section as compared to the verse section, because I started to realize how important that was in recording, to make a section of the song stand out more, etc.

I've also become less tollerant of people that overplay and fill up all the space in live groups, rather than listening to each other and making room for all the various parts.

Great job on your track!
