Nice job man! Great rockin guitar sound (although I'd prefer the drums were a tad louder). Vocals well sung and perfectly mixed!

I have heard Weezer since my sons used to listen to them in the mid-90's (I think?). This was great fun!

Be well bro!

rocking song - very enjoyable listen. I agree that the drums could be more forward.

Great Weezer tribute. definitiely hear the influence. Actually one of my fav's and always will be is "Sweater Song". But now to the matter at hand. the energy is all here. Cool lyrics, great guitar. Michael's comment is right on though, the drums need to be louder and possibly panned a little more center (?). But most of all the bass is getting totally lost. You almost can't hear it, except towards the end. The guitars are so rockin' they need a driving bass to back them up. Are you mixing through bass-heavy headphones? leading you to back off on the bass when you shouldn't? I would A/B your mixes with a weezer song you like and listen for the EQ differences and correct to suit. Just a thought. good work! fav'd.

...that I am mixing the song with a pair of headphones I got for .99c at the Dollar Store? It's all I got. For me to get a better understanding of what my songs sound like, I have to burn a disc, take it to work with me and play it in the CD player of my company car. The car is a 2006 Chevy Impala with its stock entertainment system. Other than that, I listen to my tunes thru my eMac's built in speakers.

Yeah....I know....I need to make an investment into a decent mic, a mixer, maybe an amp modeling device and some decent speakers. That would require some dollars. My wife is already complaining about the amount of time I invest into recording music....I can just hear her when I bring up the subject putting in some money too.

I did kick the drums up from 0.0dB to 4.8dB. The drum's peak point puts it clearly in the red, though I hear no clipping in my headphones nor on the eMac's speakers. I gotta burn a copy to double check. I'll also tweak the bass a little more. Maybe I'll double the track or something.

And by the way, I love that Weezer song too. The Sweater Song. If you listen to that song I posted called "It Don't Matter"....it's chord structure is based on the opening four chords from the Weezer song.

Thanks for the comments!! I'm working on it!!

remember, tho, compression is your friend. use it wisely, young jedi...

Hey AD!!!

You are my Hero, so whatever you say is Gold to me. Compression? I've seen that before, how do I use that stuff. I use the distortion presets loaded with GB...in particular, that "Glam" preset. I really like it, but it is really Noisy!!! It's making noise even before I pluck a string. I notice that the more compression I apply, the more it cuts off the sustain of the notes I play. So, I'm really thinking about that PodXT Live thing you spoke of in one of your posts. I briefly played thru an amp modeling thing at a guitar store a while ago. But now that I am recording, it seems to make a little more sense. Whatever knowledge you bestow upon me regarding this will be acted upon....Cuz I heard your stuff and you freakin rock!!
