Ok Dice, I figured out Kara and you have a side band going. lol I can pretty much tell your style by now and I always look forward to where you take a piece musically. Also let me say I do enjoy them.
Some constructive critique, there are a lot of lows fighting each other that can be avoided. Check this 5 minute vid out and apply it to your mix.

I use it on every vocal, guitar and other things where applicable.

He has some other cool vids up too.

Keep up the fantastic work.

I appreciate your critique very much! I did this “trick” immediately after reading your review. It helped a lot, sounds really better, in his humbleness. Then I added a techno-like ending :D Thanks again for helping, and for your kindness, Copperhead!!

Thank you again for your support, Copperhead. These series of video are really useful and fun to watch.

The only thing i didnt understand about the hp filter in the video, is when is better to not use it. Anyway is a powerful way to clean a lot of mud.

I use it on vocals 95% of the time and guitars about 50 here. If you get vocals done by a pro they can hold up.

Hey, thanks for that link. Helpful and easy to understand. I’m going to be checking out his whole series.

Anytime. He has some nice things up and only 5 minutes each. Of course the ones that speak to you take a couple of viewings to grasp it all.

Like a magazine article I read once about cutting every thing below 300Hz that ain’t a bass, kick, low tom or similar low end frequency monger.

Even with the modern production, there’s still a certain early-80’s post-punk vibe to this that works well with Kara’s theme/delivery.

Very nice job of creating music for/with the vocal to come up with an excellent electro-pop song.

L.O.V.E. it. :D Leave it to TheDICE to notice how I stole my own lyrics… ;) I seriously love that you noticed the lyrical similarities of these two songs. So cool. It’s so creative and rocking… I really enjoy hearing my vox in your punk settings… always wanted to be a punk. :) I also feel like your approach to this mix is very powerful. I don’t even mind the vocal pitch-shifting. It works! Also, the vocal effects you chose are awesome… esp. how you switch them up at different points. Thank you!!!

lol, i noticed that you used the same subject in these songs, and i loved the “something happen happen…” so i tried to mix everything togheter =)

I’m very glad you enjoyed my new tribute. I’m having a lot of fun with your brillant compositions!
Thanks for your great review, i really appreciated it :)

Sometimes I wonder if the Lago di Garda hasn´t got a secret water sources directly from the British Isle and it´s water is running from your tab!?
Brilliant, clever, musical and very well produced
