My new tune, with flying theme (sort of):

Black Crosses

what are you using for drums (V-DRUMS?), sound realistic but definately not real. The song sounded kind of Pink Floyd, but wasn't bad.

still listening

my opinion: lower main guitar in mix a little (especially after break) and up/clarify vocals a little .

not bad though

Appreciate the feedback. For drums, I'm using dr-008 and the "drums from hell" set of sounds, although I usually use an Alesis SR-16.

If I were to mix it again I'd back off some of the effects on the vocals, which would clear them up a bit. I was experimenting. I recorded each word of the first vocal section to a different key (a whole octave, or 12 words), then created a soundfonts file out of that, and actually "sung" that section by playing a keyboard routed to a softsynth loaded with the soundfont, one key for each word of the lyrics. The second vocal section is sung the usual way.

Thanks for listening
S!

Lyrics sound a bit like free-thought "whatever pops into my head is a lyric".

Its hard to form "intercept" and "formation" to the beat. Maybe stretch them out over several beats, like a bird's wing.
