Cheers Dave...loudness is not important...accuracy is. I've grown a little tired of mixing everything on headphones only to find dynamics are all wrong when I play the mix back on a car stereo or other headphones. My headphones are decent open backs made for monitoring but I'm guessing there's...

Hi, not sure if there’s a sticky thread somewhere for this question so my apologies if so. I’m looking for a pair of monitors for recording in an untreated room. Been using headphones for years and thought it was worth a try doing it differently. Recording is just a hobby and the the room is...

Sounding great. Mix is balanced and no real nits for me. The guitars and arrangement on this song reminds me of Spoon....which is a good thing.

Constructive as ever.

Ever so good parts of that...I thought the change up from (what I think ) is the main verse to chorus sounds awesome. My only gripe would be that after that first verse and chorus it feels like several different parts thrown together...still interesting but lacking some cohesion. That said...

I'm not quite sure what you mean by stylized in the context of a song but thanks for the listen.. I'll have a look at those drums👍

I checked all connections and they were fine. The connections wouldn't interfere with speed of the playback so I'm at a loss at the moment. I ended up shutting it all down and didn't have time to reboot so if if the problem is unclear to everyone, hopefully it will be fine next time I load reaper.

Scarlett 2 X 2. The recording is done, just a playback issue

This has never happened before...a completed song I'm mixing is suddenly playing at something like a quarter speed, volume showing in all faders but no actual volume in my headphones. Any ideas? Mark

Thanks for the listen Rich. Interesting point about the chord progression. I initially thought you were referencing the section that comes in at 1:30 as that has been completely dropped in and didn't form part of the original arrangement. I don't think it sounds quite right but wanted to hear if...

Hi First new one in several months....be great to get some feedback on this initial mix. Cheers, Mark

Sounds urgent and energetic...nice guitar work...good job

I think it sounds well played and well recorded. Sounds like a live recording rather than a studio recording. Depends what you're aiming for I guess and what you think is already wrong with it.

Excellent...love the harmonies... Vocals are cool and lyrics interesting. Doesn't sound like a struggle

You know what, that was just what I wanted. Wish I knew my way around EQ like that! Thanks
