    beginner rap/reaggie/rock mix

    Try turning down the distortion a bit. Try and make the guitar on the chorus sound like it belongs a bit more. If I was doing it, I would leave the guitar that is on there, turn it down and pan it to the left. Add another less distorted, more classic tone style on the bridge pickup and make...

    Finished mix for new album

    I feel like the guitars are only half way done. You need some clean tone in there to define the part more. It might as well be a skill saw that sounds in tune. I really like the phasey guitar in the chorus, nice touch but still too much fuzz. Great song, like the parts and how it blends. I...

    Rack gear off ebay

    I know a lot of people might say to only buy stuff from the retail stores so you have the peace of mind that if it breaks you can get another one easy, but has anyone really ever had a problem with something they bought off of ebay, rack gear that is? I am curious.

    Please rate my mix

    It sounds like you know what you are doing. The pan in the chorus is almost perfect to me. piano is a bit dull, try some eq there. The strings dont stand out enough at all. Drum beat sounds good except for the hats, they sound like crap. Pretty good mix overall. Some small things I would...

    Problems with rhythms in pop melodies

    There is this guy named Pat Pattison, he is a teacher at Berkley School of Music and he says that the way we listen to music is the way we listen to someone speaking. So the best thing to do is sit in silence with the lyrics you want to fix in hand. Read each line to someone else, four or five...

    need a bash

    I haven't posted a song in a while b/c I have been working on an album and I am closing in on finishing the project. This is a song that I wanted some opinions on. My friend keeps telling me to get rid of ezdrummer, but I have nothing else. So if anyone wants to put real drums to any of my...

    Dixie Funk - Any comments for improvement appreciated

    This is exactly how I start writing all of my songs. You just need to start the next step, and the ten after that until you have a good song. This is your "A" part, find a "B" part and put them together, vocals and a good hook, bam money man.

    Boris the Spider - Greg covering The Who.....again

    This sh!t is trippy man. Cool sound. Never heard this song before, but it sounds great to me. Love the outro. You dont hear that too much around here, an ending like that.

    New band in the studio, please critique.

    I noticed an acoustic guitar in the chorus on the left side that is either too high, or the high frequencies need to come down a bit. Nice space in the mix. Good tune.

    Mirror Pal live at North Aveune Studios

    Love the mix, the song is great too. Your other mixes are pretty good too. Very 311 style gutiars and vox. Great job!

    new song (alternativeish) - mix suggestions

    Guitar tone is great. I think the lead vocals need to stand out a bit more. Maybe some eq. The guitars sound great. Love that wide open space on the left one. How did you get that sound, digital or amp?

    instrumental epic rock song for action video game

    Did I catch a niner in there? Were you calling from a walkie-talkie? Positive note, I second what Greg posted earlier, much better than, well, you know. I really like the melody of this one. If you have a draw function when you pull up your midi track to edit, choose the sine function and...

    Please Review Powerpop Song

    Your guitar tone is magnificent, but I am not sold on the song for some reason. I really like the mix, I like the arrangement a LOT! but something is missing for me. I think the vocals just dont sit right on top of the mix the entire time. There doubled which I am a big fan of, but the second...
