across the styx -- new tune

[markb]

here's a new one i am working on. need your opinion on the arrangement and the mix. tracks got out of hand, hard to keep track of and hard to mix well. not sure about arrangement, some parts maybe need to be expanded or repeated, some things maybe should go? pass along your thoughts, i could use the help. i also have mixed it one too many times, brain gone to mush.(some of the playing is spotty here and there, but oh well ) it's about 4 1/2 minutes long.

Re: across the styx -- new tune

nice arrangement...needs bass guitar badly, also pull dums down in mix...otherwise really cool...d.m.

Re: across the styx -- new tune

thanks dude, i burned a cd of it to hear the mix better and the drums were way too loud (now fixed). i have no bass so i'll have to live without. appreciate the help. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Re: across the styx -- new tune

keyboard bass?...maybe a harmonizer set an octave low?...all tricks i used before i owned a bass...be creative...tune the low string on the guitar way down...an approximation of bass is better than nothing...d.m.

Re: across the styx -- new tune

hey thanks man [img]graemlins/idea2.gif[/img] you are totally right, anything would be better than nothing. i'll put something in there. then i suppose it's back to the drawing board and try to come up with ideas for a new tune.

You continue to produce good material.

This one is excellent. You have got this home recording thing down.

Nice break in lead, very tasteful
