I definitely agree that the keyboards are overbearing in many parts of the remixed version of the song; in fact the whole remix is rather “over the top” and was an experiment to achieve a more modern/edgy fell to it (with opening low pass filters, side chained hard pumping compressors and all). I liked it initially, but am not so sure anymore. The kind of feel that I was after would probably have needed a different song structure, especially for the chorus/bridge parts.
Many thanks for taking the time to listen and commenting, the singer will be glad for your appreciative comments on the vocals!
Nice tune! Production sounds good too. If anything, the cleans at 05:00 comes on a bit abrupt. Perhaps one could have left the distorted guitars ringing, into some nice feedback, over the start of the extro…? 🙂
Will check out your EP.
Yeah, nice!
Some really strong riffs and cool changes! The riff starting at 3:50 really got my head nodding!
The guitars have a sweet tone, that’s for sure! That Diezel will prove to be a good investment!
It would be interesting to put a high-pass filter around 150-200Hz on the rhythm guitars – I think that could give them some more bite and the bass guitar would probably be a little more audible.
That Diezel should sound awesome – looking forward to hearing it! It is always fun to get new stuff. As I need to get my bass tracks together I am currently considering buying an SR505 or 605. My old HK plays and sounds crap – I spend hours trying to fix it in the mix, to no avail…
Due to a momentary lapse of reason, I used Amplitube3 for guitars on This is the Way. Big flippin’ mistake. I was tracking night time and didn’t want to wake up the community. Will definitely revert to the old 5150 next time.
