Starnes & Shah - Prodigal Son
#2
Hah you fell for the trap! I purposefully uploaded these badly recorded tracks as a test!
Not really but that helps me sleep at night. In my defense it was recorded in a basement. And frankly I think it turned out ok considering.

Keep in mind I'm really bad at critiques.

It turned out fine.

I like the bass and drum sounds. Maybe it's a bit too compressed by the end but that's just something I noticed and not something that bothers me. I think it works.

I think the main guitar could be back a hair more or maybe just a cut in the mids that overlap the vocal. It doesn't mask the vocal at all but theres a build up in that area. It's a fairly throaty guitar sound.

I like the accent guitar after the first chorus. The panning is cool. All the other guitar fills feel fine.

The BgVx all seem to work though I've never been happy with them on this track.

There's no real complaints. I think there could be some (subtle) ear candy effects. Maybe something on the vocal that highlights different sections. Different vocal eqs? I dunno. In the end it's a very simple arrangement and could use something to add a little more spice and interest and other je ne sais quoi.

Anyway, that's my 2 cents. Don't hate me.
