Hi,

I recorded this mix on Cubase 7 (my first mix on C7).

Any kind of constructive criticism on the song,playing,mix, etc is much appreciated.

Hi…this piece means nothing without a vocal, as a backing track for this genre it’s fine,…it’s screaming for a vocal line…Kevin

Agree with Kevin… a screaming vocal line or a screaming guitar solo…

Thanks guys!

I do get this a lot, many people seem to miss vocals pr at least leads, but I’m actually planning on keeping this as is.
This is going to be a sort of an ‘interlude’ kind of song on my EP, all other songs have melodies/leads, so this one will be somewhat of a contrast.
