Thanks so much dude! Im real happy you enjoyed it! I am working on a couple of other songs that I hope will be done in about ten days. stay tuned, and thanks again!

Sorry guys, I didnt notice that the link had gone bad, it has been updated in the first post. Thanks for the comments!

haha yeah there's some backward tracking in there. For the first acoutic verse part I ran my voice through my pedalboard with a little comp and the line 6 DL4 on the reverse setting. Its really cool because it doenst just reverse the whole thing, it kinda reverses in phrases (rhyme much?) so the...

Thanks man I really appreciate the comments! As of now I dont have any more music online but, Ill be uploading some more in the next few weeks. Im glad you like the vocals Im always really self-counscious about them, and usually bury them in the mix a bit more than I probably should.

Not really the kinda music im into but I gottqa saw you had a tight beat, and the vocal was pristine. Overall I think you did a great job, Is that you singing? if so then kudos cause i dont know too many people that sing that well. I didnt really like the string sound that kinda led the song...

Hey everyone, So this is a new song I finished yesterday, I would really appreciate you guys' input. Its kind of a half-acoustic electronica atmospheric pop tune (lol thats a lot of words). Just a heads up the lyrics are in spanish. link...

Like the song, mix I thought was ok. Only comment I have is that you could make some things a little more subtle, like in the intro you could lower some bits and make others more prominent instead of it all meshing together. Than again if thats what youre going for dont change a thing. and I...

Hey thanks for the new feedback guys! Most of the comments seem to be about the lacking bass, and I do have to agree with you on that one. This was done by choice because since there really werent any bass instruments in the song, I just wasnt feeling the bassy guitars. I've always liked...

Maybe you're right man, but just wanted to clarify its not supposed to be world music, its just a regular acoustic pop song. It just happens to be in spanish, we have pop music too hahaha. Thanks for the feedback everyone!

I'm trying to figure out what in the world is going on with the snare drum at about 4:00. Tt sounds like something else is being triggered with it, or its being treated with some kinda filter, any ideas what it is? The snare drums kinda sounds like a whip cracking, its pretty cool. Thanks in...

Dude! The transient shaper seems to do the job! I just gotta mess with it little and get the right settings. Thanks man! Sometimes you kinda forget about basic stuff until somebody reminds you its there.

Hey wicked, its actually not a bad idea at all! Ive used transient designers for shaping some sounds in the past, and sometimes to transform them into something else entirely. The problem in this specific situation is that as I mentioned before, these are overhead mics so they are picking up...

That definitely sounds like total control miroslav! And I cant say I dont like cutting audio up and playing with it, but in this case I think the song doesn't call for it. (or maybe im getting lazy!) What I might end up doing though is introducing a bit of sidechain compression on cymbal...

Hi guys, been off all afternoon, but thanks for all the replys! Ill try and answer some of the concerns expressed by some of you guys. First of all, my drummer is good and knows how to hit the cymbal correctly. Its not that im unhappy with getting too much stick on a cymbal, I just wanted to...

Hi guys, I was just wondering if anybody knew any techniques for minimizing the sound of drumsticks on a cymbal. Generally for ride hits I like it cause it needs that rhythm of the hti, but for crashes I just want the sizzle of the cymbal without the hit. Agressive compression with a fast...
