Alright thanks for the feedback, I kinda had a thought the bass might be a tad high. It's a spring reverb on the vocal. Anyway, when I get the chance to work on this song some more in a couple days I'll see what good changes can be made

Hey there, UCONN is the college as in the university of Connecticut. appreciate the feedback

Need to know where to go with the mix on this one. how would you change it so far aside from re-doing the vocal? The grand piano is patched through an old Phaser (MXR) I have. The bass guitar is a late '60s Teisco. Thank you...

I recorded this at UCONN the other day in the piano lockers. This was tracked entirely digitally! The vocals and piano were recorded simultaneously! It is a 6' Yamaha Grand piano! I played the other instruments including the mellotron and bass guitar. I was at UCON practicing for something else...

Wow! Thank you all very much. back to work!

not much of a singer, but here I go. here's my song, recorded to a 1978 Teac 80-8 8 channel machine @15 ips with noise reduction on all channels. 1976 Teac 5 mixer used here, as well as early '70s scotch 203 which drops out a lot (i have even older 1/2" tape that does NOT drop out - I'm saving...

which is precisely why I liked it. I'm so tired of everything being normal, it's nice to just hear something once in a while that's totally absurd

The first song poison in the water....not the kind of music that really takes me anywhere but I thought the mix was good believe it or not. I liked the mix cause it was a tad messy, sounded "real" like it was done in the 80s or something. I really think the drums almost had a funky tape like...

Well it doesn't really matter.....because if they got to the end it means they listened to the whole song! What this song reminds me of is the radio in 1994 - REM, and Sponge (wax ecstatic) the only difference being is a) the bass guitar would have more "picky" bright defined sound and b) the...

Cool man, did you record these drums? They sound real....are they triggered? The snare I really believe has a good sound. I thought at 2:50 the song was going to end. I really would have liked that actually...I love endings that come without my anticipating of it. But the song is done in a good...

Thank you two for listening! Noisy tape recordings aren't everybody's thing, but they float my boat! EdIT - I sure do miss those drums. The most special cymbal I ever had, a 1970s Zildjian K 17" crash :-( The matching snare on the Premier was quite something...glad to know it

Was pulling some mixes the other day and found this track I test recorded and I was delighted to hear the fatness coming through on the 8 channel 80-8. The tape was early '70s scotch 203 that has really bad "drop outs" so beware. The mixer is a 1976 Teac Model-5. Just recorded in the old...

this song is about the LA area and the sadness that exists there. My friend Beth Smith handled the flute on this song, and me the other instruments and vocals. Drums, guitar, and bass was tracked to an old school 80-8 at 15 ips on '70s Scotch 203 1/2" tape. The rest tracked into Reaper, so it is...

What are you talking about? If I made this recording directly into Reaper it would have sounded way different. Analog has a totally different sound. And digital is clean enough to capture that. That's why when you put the CD of Dark Side of the Moon on you don't say to yourself "wow it sounds...

well see I never minded crazy hard panning a La 1967 when they'd drench one of the channels in echo. I really kinda like that. What stops me from listening to music all the way through is digital sound. That I just don't get. it's like making a movie on video tape. It's nice for a rough idea but...
