Wrote a new song today. Its just the scratch track so nothing is final. I don't have any lyrics so a verse might be shorter, the bridge might be longer. Who knows what happens Only the piano has some reverb and a little eq, and I put in a fake room mic. I think the kick and guitars sound nice.

So what do you guys think?

I think maybe you could turn the drums down a little, and turn the bass up a fair bunch.

It is a good solid structure. What are your plans for it? Vocals?

Without vocals it maybe clocks a little long just shy of six minutes, but it isn't egregious with it or anything.

Really, my only proper critical thought about, it is that the bass should be louder.

Definitely vocals. Absolutely nothing is final lol. My hand started to cramp on the rhythm guitar, you can hear it stop at different times . It was the first time I used the Timmy as a boost (just on the two solos). Results = I haven't touched the bass guitar to try to hid its sub-par attack (reason its mix a little low) and I might tweak the midi in a few places to make it more interesting (or wait till I sell the GE-7 and buy a bass). I like the snare, but I'm not sold on it yet and I haven't programed a single fill for the drums yet (I haven't even loaded toms on the VST yet )

Overall, a lot of work to do. I'm excited

I like the clean tremolo guitar. Needs to come up, methinks. Whatever the bass might be lacking in attack, it certainly has plenty of low end.

I like the guitar tone! The kick and guitars do sound nice.

Have you thought of re-introducing some piano later on in the song during the mellower bits?

The bass is just a stock 4front bass VST. It's definitely the best free bass vst I have found, big bass sound and decent attack (for being free). I'll take note to raise up the trem guitar for the final version. I was thinking about put in the piano in the soft parts, but without an actual keyboard it seems like it's going take a long time to get everything right... Challenge accepted

Today though, it's all about drum fills
