Abide In Me 2
All,
This is my second take on this Original. I figured out why I was not getting stereo MP3 file. Not sure how or why that thing changed?? But I'll know better what to look for now. Anyhow took everyones sugestions into acount on this take. Still not crazy about the vocals but they work. I think the cut thru the mix better. They maybe have just a tad to much effects on them now but that was what was working at getting there levels up in the mix. I just litterly started cranking things Reverb, Delay, Flanger. I was just getting frustrated with them always being so low. Anyhow Check it out Much better overall representation of what I had in mind for this song!!
God Bless All!!!
Thanks in advance for listening!!

Its a song by maiden and the words are from the bible.Also when can we expect some metal tunes, i know your capable of making very good clean songs(abide in me) so i can't wait to hear you Hot rockin'
This is what I'd suggest: now that you've got your stereo/signal mix thing straightened out, record your vocals either dry, with effects added later; or else just record them a lot hotter, so you won't need so much effecting to be noticable. They shouldn't dominate in the mix, but they should be out front enough that they're 'showcased', instead of fading into the background. Give it a try, this tune is great!
Vocals sound much more understandable...
See ya,

Great job man! Sounds better than the first mix!!
Hey wickerman,
congrats on the gig! you guys are going to do great.
The book of Revelation is the last book in the bible...
I did the same research a long time ago (I was a huge fan of Maiden before I gave my life to Christ and I was confused most of their stuff has satanic overtones so I wanted to find out more)
The song Revelation has this line \"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more Death. Neither sorrow, nor crying. Neither shall there be any more Brain; for the former things are passed away.\"
The scripture in Revelations Chapter 21, Verse 4 actually states \"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
Not sure why they changed the one word... some say to correspond with the name of the album Piece of Mind or to introduce the new drummer Nicko McBrain
Aleister Crowley the founder of the satanic church influenced alot of the lyrics of Revelations
Bruce's infulences never cease to astound..
it sounds much better and I think you voice is good. like wickerman said GIVE ME MORE vocal volume.
man you gotta be happy with how this song is comin out
good job--you inspired me.
Didn't know that.BUt did you know that Nicko is a christian?
Im not a chrisitan, but im not against people who belive in god, if thats what they belive then i am not going to challenge them about it.
God Bless you All!!
again thanks for listening!!

:!: If you want to make your vocals stand out with more confedance...i know I spelled that wrong :oops: Just double the track. highlight the track in the software then copy and paste a double. your volumes may actually need to come down after you double the track remeber to pan everybody apart. Alot of people pan one voc track right up the middle . this trick also works well for me with Leads too. It makes the selected tracks have more \"presence\" Dont overdo the doubling like on every track that will muddy up the mix but for vocals and leads that I think might could use a little something thats my favorite trick. As far as effects go its up to you. Most people say less is more THE SONG IS SOUNDING MUCH SWEEETER :!:
God Bless!!

P.S.
I wrote Lyrics today for my first Praise & Worship Song. Which when Music stuff Key, Melody, Rythem etc.. are figuered out I hope our Worship team will use this song. i feel thats why I was given the song in the first place. All yeah keep your eyes peeled for a Heavy Metal Hyme. That's going to be for my mate Wickerman. I'm thinking \"Be Thou My Vision\" Anyone know this Hyme??
Lexican isn't that complicated...in your GNX s/ware install pcakage there's a little brochure explaining it. But don't overdo it; reverb should be subtle, not overwhelming, unless you're Elvis.
I fell your pain - I'm TERRible when it comes to recording dry and trying to re-amp or add effects afterward. I don't even record on my puter w/PTP, 'cuz it's too slow...that's why I always have lame drum trax, unles I get off my butt and put something together on my neat little ZOOM drum machine. I record on my GNX's onboard, or my little Fostex through my little Behringer board w/builtin effects. So much for studio sophistication...no wonder Jennifer Aniston won't return my phone calls.
God Bless You Partch and keep it up.
Phil
God Bless Phil!!
