]]>]]>I agree that the drums need some work, the kick in particular. I'm thinking I screwed up the position of the kick drum mic when I was recording as I just couldn't get the "click" sound of the beater that I wanted. I tried fixing it with some eq, but I think the only real solution would be to record it a second time.
I was torn between adding more guitar parts and keeping it simple. I really do not know much about mixing (or recording, or songwriting...) at this point, and so I'm attracted to keeping things simple. Less voices clashing, less worry about trying to make sure that everything can be heard. However, there's no arguing that simplicity leads to less variation, which in turn makes it less interesting. I hope that as I continue this I'll naturally grow in more complicated arrangements.
Again, thank you to everyone for donating your time and thoughts.
]]>The noise channel sound design is pretty horrible 
. But I like how you mix up the "instruments" and pass the melody along between them. Bit Shifter does that :3
I kind of didn't really like the guitar part that much. I liked the groovy island jam more and was expecting the guitar to do some backbeat reggae breakdown thing before the "power chord" part came in.
I guess this type of mixing is pretty common, since I hear it often with chip+guitar stuff, but I think the guitar sound was a bit too lo-fi and warm :\
But still, I enjoyed it. It has a lot of untapped potential for variation and stuff.
]]>]]>There's an abrupt change at about 50 seconds that I'm not sure really fits. In fact, that may be the main thing that's wrong with the whole song, there's not much of a unified style. From the intro, to around the 50 second where it enters kind of what I think of as the chorus, and then to where the actual rock part comes in at around 2:00, it doesn't fell very cohesive.
At any rate, if anyone wants to give it a listen and let me know their thoughts, I greatly appreciate the feedback.
