Wow, that's great. I like Neil Young too, so it really doesn't offend
me. In fact, I played the cover of Young's "Powderfinger"
with my ex-band.
I think the cowbell sounds weird to me though, sounds
a bit more like
a woodblock I guess. It is a minor complaint and it's a matter of
personal preference. Myself, I'd experiment with some plate reverb on
it and see if I could make it a little different, but again, my
preference. You did a much better mixing job than I could hope to do.
The cowbell is a little bit too loud, I agree..
I really liked the drum kit. What was the guitar
running through to
get that tone?
There are three (and sometimes four) guitars there. I used Dan Electro's
Daddy-O overdrive and Cool Cat chorus in some guitars, and then there's
also TAP plugins here and there. Thanks!

not a real drummer.
Thanks! I am glad to hear that it sounds like a real drummer. I tried to
make it to sound like that, so it's very nice to hear that.

I heard it from my friend :-)
Not really. I liked it, it sounds okay. I agree with
the earlier comment
about the drums â?? it does sound like a cohesive drum kit with a drummer.
Which kit did you use in Hydrogen? The whole song bounces along nicely.
I used
modified UltraAcousticKit, just replaced some sounds with drum samples I have.
Personally, I'm not keen on the reverb on the
vocals but that's just me.
I like the vocal harmonies, the song seems to almost "open up" when they
come in and they add interest.
Yes, I prefer more the dry sound in vocals too, but I tested different kind of
reverbs and it somehow ended up like this..
Thanks!
