Break Free

First song with the new pickups... pretty simplistic. but nice tone.

the mix will change -- adding more layers now...

I'll wait until the mix changes...but initially the vocals need to come up a bit Z

Guitar sounds amazing ......thick and creamy with an aggresive edge....PU's were a great upgrade

Thanks. I'll be tweaking things today.... vox are a little too distorted, so I will probably re-do and double-track.
want to add some side to side fills too.

Yeah, real happy with the PUs.
They do have some bite.
I'll have to try them through the Line6 too....

Final mix is up (same link as above)
Sounds a little too experimental for its own good to me..... but, moving on....


break free
be what you should be
just set your mind free

break free
just let your eyes see
what your life can be

fire
the endless desire
to take yourself higher

today
say what you should say
truth never betray

Sounds a little too experimental for its own good to me.....

I never thought I would ever hear you say that Z

OK Its difficult to label.....but isn't that what experimental is all about.....anyway it's you

Sounds fine to me .....vocals are better....guitars are real heavy and now mixed in well....and I like the big gong sound that sweeps in...cool.

Afterthought is that maybe it should have been a bit faster .....tempo seems a little bit to slow....but it is what it is....and thats OK

Thanks! Yeah I agree about the "too slow" -- I grabbed a 6/8 beat and it was already at 105, so I had to go with that....
Hard for me to play that slow. I am a bit fast on the rhythm at places because of that....

I programmed in a bit of middle-eastern drum in the breaks, and then the asian drum and gong to add a little extra flavor.

Ha Ha.....LOL.....a 6/8 beat is pretty much the same as 3/4 which is Waltz Time.

I thought I detected that but I wasn't sure

Yeah, it's definitely a Waltz!
I've always been fond of the triplet-feel of 6/8 (usually done faster like in Souza Marches).

Really love the guitar sound in this one Z! It's like the after effect of an atomic bomb!!! Fantastic vocals too

I like your deep heavy Guitar and the dark Toms the China Crash is specially great to, on a minimal part comes the Sound from the China Crash not to loud and it hear like a Water Wave!! Pretty elements in this worn Song Good Voice, you're the Lyrics
Ralf

MOST EXPRESSIVE TUNE EVER!

Music should take the listener some where, and not have to take them back.

GREAT JOB!
