    Power Pop

    Thanks for the listen and your suggestions. I hadn’t thought about the Secret Agent Man connection but you’re right… must have gone to that change automatically.

    Power Pop

    I found this old, unmixed song from 2011 while cleaning up my hard drive, so I spent a day fixing it up. It's sort of a fun 80's or 90's power pop number. Looks like I used my old Line 6 POD 2.0 for the guitars. I still have that thing laying around on a shelf somewhere... I know the...

    Some Original Material For A Change

    Nice song - it's great when you can come up with something like this spontaneously! Only comment on the mix is that the drums sound very dry, and the guitar is quite ambient/echoey. Maybe that's why folks are saying it sounds like synth drums. Thought about adding a little keyboard or...

    Shadow of a Dead Rose

    Great tune and arrangement. Lots of energy and I love the vocal harmonies. Only nit is that the piano (?) sounds fairly synthetic especially in the first couple of minutes. I kept thinking how much better it would sound with a real acoustic piano, or at least a VST with more depth and ambience.

    Indie song - Sunday Driving

    Thanks for the listen. To clarify, this is my first attempt at this song, but I've certainly mixed other songs before. Although rarely well ;)

    Indie song - Sunday Driving

    I put this together over the last week based on a fun riff in DADGAD tuning. The style is sort of 90's indie rock - maybe Yo La Tengo, Magnetic Fields, or a poppier version of Sebadoh. This is my first attempt to mix it so any feedback is welcome. In particular I'm wondering if the bass needs...

    Acoustic rock - New song - feedback requested

    A new song I recorded this weekend. The guitar solo at the end is a bit of train wreck so I may re-record that part. But I'd appreciate any feedback on the mix. My Dog by jmDC | Jm DC | Free Listening on SoundCloud

    Cycle Song, Psych-folk

    Would appreciate some feedback on the mix. I do love the reverb-y sound of Fleet Foxes & other indie bands, but find it really tough to get that without the mix sounding like mud. Cycle Song

    Original jangle-pop song needs help

    Hi all, I've been working on a new song ("Stars Inside") - sort of jangle-pop/rock. Unfortunately I suspect the mix needs lots of work. My monitors tell me the mix is really treble-rich and harsh, while my headphones tell me it's muddy and dull. Maybe it's both?! I'm specifically wondering...

    Dreamy Psych-Folk original

    Hi all, I dusted off a guitar piece recorded a couple of years ago and finished it off with some vocals & various bits of weirdness. The intent is a dreamy, hazy feeling, so there are some chorusy effects on the lead vocal. I like the sound, but I'm sure opinions will vary. Right now the...

    Original - Throwing Stones

    Hello. I found an old piano riff from a few years ago, and worked it into a short song. It's got a 70's Todd Rundgren sort of groove. I'm wondering if the mix is a bit muddy though. I was having a hard time getting the piano and bass to mesh well without taking out so much low end that it...

    Upshur Park - new song/mix

    Hi there... Now that the snow has finally gone, I felt like writing an upbeat, retro Summer song about girls and swimming pools. My friend Tom contributed the piano (which exceeds my minimal capabilities). I'm still thinking of tweaking the vocals but I like how the groove came out, and some...

    New Piano Ballad: Seagull Song

    I put this together over the last couple of weekends. It was supposed to be a happy, upbeat song but it came out as a depressive piano ballad! Ah well... I still think it's sort of pretty. These days I only write songs about birds and politics; and then I delete the ones about politics. My...
