napoleonboot Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I posted this track (Crooked Man) a couple of days back, but I wasn't happy with it, so I retracked it. http://www.reverbnation.com/play_now/song_11957922 Any positive criticism is welcome.

ronws Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Very, very Dio. The arrangement, the the vocal melody line. The darkness of the lyrics. Well done. The only things I thought of were aesthetic choices. On the guitar solo in the break, I would knock the bass back just imperceptibly a little. Then bring it back up for that bass triplet that introduces the next phrase. And I would add just a dusting more treble to that guitar solo. Excellent song.

napoleonboot Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 Ron thanks for your comments. Maybe the song has some style similarities with Dio, but definitely different singing. I'd love to sound like him (and others), but I figured out a while back it's easier for me to sound like me, and move forward from there! As for the EQ and balance, this isn't a final mix, I'll atttend to your points as we get to closer to final. George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronws Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I don't think your voice sounds like Dio. Your voice sounds more like War and The Crazy World of Arthur Brown. But the feeling and intent seemed like Dio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
