Hey Critter.

I really liked that! Great feel to it and a powerful sound.

I note that you said it's still a bit raw and maybe one thing you could look at is brightening the mix a bit - it came across a tad dull on my system. Perhaps a bit of a boost around 3k might help.

But a great track all the same.

Critter...

Listened to all the songs on your page. You are doing some very nice pop/rock style songs. Not a whole lot of that here usually...(ROG does it well - but he cheats... he plays it all himself!). It would be nice if you would list the RealTracks and styles you are using - so that others might benefit from the listen...

Sounds good.

nice tune..... I enjoyed it .... it'll be interesting to hear it when it's finished and polished up.

Hey, straight away that tweaking makes it sounds better!

Now maybe bring the drum track up quite a bit - I always think a rock track like this needs a big drum sound to kick it along. If you've got a choice of kits, something with a powerful snare and a touch of reverb.

This could be a really good track.

Yes, I haven't heard much of this style done with BIAB. I also would be interested in a listening of what tracks were used/created (of course the voice you did yourself).

Sounds good, thanks for posting.
