On my player along with my mix is Jordan's version.

Like some critique on mix balance ETC on this on as well.

We really have a desire to produce our own music and eventually that of others so all the input will be greatly appreciated as well as shared in band meetings.


P.S.

You guys ROCK !

The Mix has Improved.... I was thinking it would be cool to throw in a few symbol roll & crashes at key points of some of the verses, for an added dramatic effect ... you know, sort of depict the grandness of the fire...
Just a thought

Thanks for the input.

Jordan has already done a second third version where he added "voices".

I've not even heard it yet but I'm a gonna throw it up there just for S & G.

"No place I'd rather be" and "just a little while longer" lines work well together.
The part before is too busy imo... maybe take one of the three out see which two works best. I'd even bring the acoustic up a tad in the mix. jmo.
Nice work though.

The mix with harmony is better. I'd say retrack the lead vocal (unless this was done as a 'live band recording', with a pop filter and less 'room' in the mix (which is really noticeable in the first mix).
Lead guitar needs move volume between the verses (but not when doing licks during singing).
The wailing 'give me more' at 3:30 should be retracked - think it could have been done stronger without the little warble towards the end. Need more harmonies towards the end, there's a echo line in the left channel which doesn't sound good, the lead vocal loses its impact because of it.

Thank you all for your time and input.

It truly is a pleasure working with you all.

Let me put on my Producer hat for a moment...



Do the inrto like you did up to :49, but cut the second round of "no place Id rather be", and go directly to 1:21. Right to verse 1.

3:40 to 4:08 --- The best section of the song.
I know you were probably looking for a break (bridge/middle , but if it were me, I would look to use that in more in one place.

Thanks.
