- KB adds in an intro and also a really beautiful swell at 1:30 that adds some well needed dimension to the build/arc of the song. -humanodon, I think this will satiate your desire for "more changes in dynamic."
Yeah, the swell did add to the song, for sure.
- KB also brings out the low end in a big way at the end, really beefing up the closure of the song while sneaking the rhythm guitar track back in for a small bit of fragility right at the close.
This was more what I was trying to talk about. The first version sounds cool, but I guess what I was trying to say is that I thought that the song could use more contrast (is that the right word?). Anyway, this sounds really good, so props dudes!
What do you think you'll do with the vocals?
I think contrast is definitely the right word. As for vocals, I'd like to rerecord them and remain in the higher register. I'd probably double that higher vocal and then add a lower octave vocal to accompany it. But the vocal track that I have right now is pretty bad. There are several different takes (from what I remember) and none are good. They're over-thought and none are in the moment. You tend to know when you get a good track and on this song I haven't yet.
