I liked the power the snare had in the third mix, but man... it needed more "sizzle" or just high end in general. The guitars still sound too thin to me in the last mix. I also felt like something was lost from the snare. Overall though, good mix... and great performance! I personally think...

Hey bro, I checked it out... I'm a musician who plays Electric, drums and bass primarily and spends a lot of time mixing. I also sing, but I don't agree with the guy who said you're wasting time developing this skill... rapping isn't as easy as people think, I know because I used to think I...

Shameless, selfish, obvious... bump.

Yeah, blatant honesty may not always make you feel good... but if you don't get offended and run away crying or give up, it can be really good for you. I am very glad that most if not all of those old links are dead now. I think Greg L was the harshest, but my ego needed to be popped... and he...

This is freaking awesome... enough said. I definitely like it better than the original... including the mixing. I need to show this to a friend of mine, he's obsessed with Metallica. By the way, nice drums sound! I particularly liked the sound and positioning of the Toms, not too wide...

hmm... the keyboard in the beggining was a cheaper Casio Keyboard. It was older but was the only thing I had around when we recorded it.. that might explain it. I don't know what I could do to it to make it sound more real. And as for the snare drum, yeah... I have had so many problems with...

Specifically which part where the Piano came in? You mean the intro? Cause I didn't play the main Piano, I'm not much on the Piano... but there's a second one that I added in during the really soft chorus towards the end that basically serves as the bridge. I'm just wondering which one you...

Thanks guys. This is the third mixdown I've posted of this song and I'm glad not to hear any of the same problems being stated so far... I think I am probably going to keep the reverb on the vocals though for her. As for bringing the acoustic up, I may do that... I'll have to think about it...

I really liked it... drums are a bit small for my taste, but it seems to compliment the style and I'm not sure I'd want them huge for this song. The only thing I can say I would actually change(IMHO) is the kick... it sounds slightly too tight almost to me. Again, this could be a taste...

I liked it a lot... the voice in the verse reminded me of a combination of Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Eve 6, and then you had this totally different sound in the Chorus. Very interesting composition... impressive to me. As for mixing, I really liked the mix for the most part. The kick drum...

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13244304/Danni%20Harmer%20-%20Moment%28good%29.mp3 Hey guys, I haven't been on in a long time again. As usual anyone who knows me knows that I have seizures and they get in the way of things... that should be stopping soon though thanks to a crazy diet that I'm...

The distortion happened only in the MP3 that I uploaded, when it's a wave it's not there... It's probably because I mixed it down to a wave and then converted the wave to an mp3. I should have just mixed down directly to an mp3. Thanks for the advice on the sibilance... I'm still trying to...

http://www.jamesharmer.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/austin-dale-home-againfirst-mixdown.mp3 So yeah, I got my right pointer finger caught in a wood splitter... long story short, I cracked my bone and my finger tip "exploded" because of the pressure. I was rushed to the ER and they stitched...

ha ha.... when I first read that I thought you said "By the way, JeffMaher is dead..." I was like... "dude... that sucks" Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm working specifically on the voice right now, I'll repost it soon in hopefully the final version.

If you're interested, I could lay down some tracks for you and E-mail you the separate wave files... as long as you used a metronome and let me know the tempo.
