First off, Tone zone in the neck?? I mean...ive seen it done but ballz!
If it ever beams with bass, try an A4 magnet in there. I understand it will help you slice through but still sound tonezoney/PAFy
ANYWAY, onto your promised review!
Rereading, I apologize in advance, as most of the review is PERSONAL OPINIONS
But hey, try em out if you want.
All in all, i like this song!
Guitar lead tone is a little stiff, but a personal opinion.
What amp are you using during the solos?
While a preference, dialing back in some mids really fills them out.
Bass is nice and thick!
Drums are very clean too.
All in all the mix is very clear
Choruses I would have liked to hear more of an energy difference.
Was hoping for more rhythm guitars in there. Louder or stacked up with harmony, or however.
It would have brought more dynamic to the song
I think thats what the drums were trying to do too, as cymbals got heavy there.
My least favorite part:
I don't like when leads play exactly what vocalist is singing.
Pet peave, yes; personal opinion, yes
But still!
There are other ways to fill sections out.
Vocals are very nice, cool to see a collab! Collabs are awesome!
Harmony or variation toward the end would help signify such, but still groovy.
Going back, variation on drum fills would have been the way too.
Don't have to be more complicated. Just varied.
Since I'm all out of order now anyway, I love that kick drum. You using EZD?
ANYWAY
All in all, great song so far
General composition is rock solid
If it were me, I'd take out what I didn't need, add some layering, and VARIATE VARIATE VARIATE
Good job homie
