Cold Suzy

Thoughts, critiques, verbal-bashing?

I liked it.

Is the solo a little out of sync?

You don't have to register. There's a hifi stream there. But

Cold Suzy

I'm not sure. My lead guitarist sent me the solo and I put in the multitrack...he forgot the exact time signature for it, so I had to play around with a bit. Does it sound early or late to you?

Let me listen again.

Hmm, hard to say. I guess it's ok the way it is, but somehow it sounds a little "out" one way or another. Dont you sense something when you listen?

It's ok ...

A couple of things:
- I like the compression at the beginning.
- The kick drum intro is a bit off (it's timed right but it doesn't match the guitar rhythm so it sounds off). Plus it sounds a bit dead. Change it.
- The ride cymbal sound sucks.

- The solo is fine, timing wise. Efx could probably use a bit of tweaking, but it fits.
- Flip the guitar to clean for the picking parts on the verses, they could use the attack. I'm debating whether the bridge could use it too, but on a second listen it sounds fine as is).
- Crank the reverb a bit on the solo guitar, and lower its volume.
- There's a distinct lack of dynamics all around... everyone just keeps playing at the same volume the entire time. The guitar should kick up when you raise your voice.
- The transition to the outro sucks... and when you crank the reverb on that guitar, the extra 1 or 2 seconds it gives you on the outro will make the song feel a lot more "finished".

Seriously, for a song about necrophilia, I've remained pretty high-brow.

Necrophelia? Now where would you get an idea like that?

Thanks for the suggestions though. I'll look into them.
