I dont like the swearing. Seems a bit unneccessary. Are you using auto tune on the vocal?

[Andy Clayton]

no! i think theres a phasing problem with the mic, cause auto tune not used at all.

ok. Sorry if that sounded like an insult.

i'm assuming it's stylistic, since this is an homage to nu-metal. for what it's worth, it did remind me of those days - both in a good and a bad way. good because that's clearly what was intended; bad because i never really liked that sort of thing... good production overall though, far more than a "thrown together" song sonically, so props for that.

[Andy Clayton]

no not insulted at all, just wish i could fix whats causing it, on all my songs i dunno if its my voice or the mic but some words are sounding phased or autotuned but when i listen to the part solo, theres no problem, it must be something to do with the instruments i use when played over the top of the vocals, i cant figure it out. any clues?

oh and as for the bad language, its a homage to the powers above cheers for your comments.

I love the vocals where you say I think "let those false colours shine" Good shouting vox.
I love the sound of the snare. I think the the Kick and the Snare need a little more presence. I little more High end EQ on the Kick.

Cymbals need to be a little more shiny and piercing and the guitars a little louder. But as a throw together of how you were feeling at that point. Its really good.

Just needs a few more tweeks. What you using to record?
