More bass and drums would give it more drive.

I basically gave him my raw tracks and he used or replaced them as he saw fit. I did do a new lead vocal take at his request. I made some suggestions that he incorporated but I wanted him to do his take on the song. For those interested, he used Reaper.

In your original there is a very nice presence to the sound. In the reworked version that presense has gone, the sparkle of the guitar has gone and in its place is a muddy and imprecise sound field. You could probably restore some of the sparkle by judicious use of harmonic exciters. The horns comping is a bit cliched and could be timed better to pulse of the piece. There is also what sounds like an FM slap bass in places, its timing could also be done better as could its melodic movement, in order drive the song along. I hope you don't take offense at these remarks. The song itself is very good.

My own twin sense: I think the vocals are a bit forward and that masks the instruments a bit. Shanek played bass guitar, did the backup vocals, the drum track and the horns-I doubt if there's any FM bass. I really tried to let him make his own version of the song with a few suggestions here and there. > I hope you don't take offense at these remarks. The song itself is > very good. Well, posting it here means that tomatoes may be hurled...I trust you lot to give an honest evaluation and suggestions for improvement. I gave Shanek the google groups for this thread so he can check out any comments-I don't know if he currently has usenet access. Thanks for the kind words about the song itself-it's a personal favorite. I have to thank Shanek for getting me to redo the lead vocal. I've been going to karaoke a lot in the past couple of years and my vocal is more confident than back in 2004, so it's not doubled or drenched in reverb like the old 2004 version. -- Elmer Tiberius Fudd <-- He's dim, Jed...Purveyor of SUYMF! remove STUPIDITY to reply, however, STUPIDITY was engaged when send button was pressed
