So, I ran across this contest via myspace: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=370072649 I'm sure many of you have run across it as well...I think it's a good exercise in songwriting. After reading the rules, I figured I'd put something together and drop...

Sorry haven't been around in a bit, but I wanted to get some comments on this one. I think I'm okay with the mix and all, but I've once again fallen into the "listened too many times to retain objectivity" trap and I need some fresh and unbiased ears. I tried some different stuff on the snare...

http://www.soundclick.com/updateband/songInfo.cfm?bandID=667746&updated=5709707&name This is the first draft of the mix, so hopefully it is alright. Most of the mixing was done through headphones. This is a pretty straightforward alt/rock tune I've had for a while sans lyrics, then decided...

This is one I wrote about 7 years ago. I think (hope) it's pretty close to where it needs to be on the mix, but I need your ears. Any comments on the levels, arrangement, etc. would be appreciated. Here's the link...it's the one at the top of the list...

I thought this one would be a fun one to do and boy what a pain in the butt it turned out to be!! A lot more challenging that what I thought, especially during mixdown. It took about 8 vocal tracks just to get even close to the chorus. It's all me though, so hopefully I did it justice. I...

I need some help on this one. Something with the mix just isn't agreeing with me on this one, and I can't quite pinpoint it. Maybe I've listened too many times. Anyways, any suggestions will be appreciated. Also, I could use some help with the title. Right now, I'm calling it "I Don't...

Here is a new one I just did with my band. I was shooting for sort of a STP/Nirvana feel on the mix. All of the songs I've put up thus far have been my "solo" material, so I'm anxious to see what y'all make of the group effort. Let me know what you think. Thanks, Brad...

This one has a little different feel from some of the other things I've posted. I guess it's got sort of a grungy feel to it. I think I've got a pretty decent mix going on, but I need some more opinions. Don't hold back. Thanks, Brad...

Here's one in which I've been tinkering with the mix for about 2 years, and I've got it to the point where I'm ready to share it. Please let me know what you think. I've added bits of chorus and delay to certain parts (notably over the guitar solo) which hopefully color the mix in a...

This is a tune called Lay Down, which I wrote several years back. Please let me know what you think of the song/mix. I have some ideas of what might need to be changed, but I need some critical feedback!! I'm linking to the full version first, but there's also an acoustic version of the same...

I'd like to "warm up" my vocal tracks a bit, and I'm thinking that a tube preamp might help me accomplish this. Before I start shopping around, let it be known that I have an old Carvin tube guitar head. Would tracking the vocals through this help me out without creating some unforseen...

Is there a way to check the compression input/output levels on a track without having to play the entire song? Thanks

Lemme know what you think of the song and mix. I took a little different approach for the mix and listened to about 10 songs/artists that I think are well produced, then tried to match what I heard. I'm pretty pleased with the results, but would like to know what you all are thinking. By...

Can anyone give me some insight on these as studio monitors? I've recently run across a pair in nearly mint condition for $50.00 for the pair. Is this a worthwhile purchase? Of course, I would have to purchase something to power them with. I mostly mix straight out rock/alternative in the...

Hi Friends, Does anyone have any cool guitar feedback samples they could email me, or does anyone know of a site where I could obtain some? I would like to use them in a project of mine. I’ve been recording direct which makes it a wee bit difficult to get some good feedback tones. Wave files...

This might not be the proper forum…but it’ll get the attention of those of you who know. So, this weekend I got a Line 6 Flextone II Plus. It has a 50 watt output designed for pushing an extension cabinet. I have a Peavey 5150 16 ohm 4X12 cabinet that I would like to use for this purpose...

As I’m sure many of you are well aware of, coming up with a band name is a royal headache. So, I’m asking you to throw some stuff out there. We’re a straight-ahead rock band. We’ll start off playing mostly alternarock and modern rock circa the 1990’s but will eventually move toward a mostly...

Has anyone used their BR-1600 for live recording in a club setting? I would be running the house through a 16-channel Mackie 1604-VLZ console and running the direct outs on the console (channels 1-8) directly into the BR-1600. My main concern is having enough memory on the unit to do a 2.5 –...

Hi All, Been lurking for a few weeks, and I've gotta say that this is an unbelievably awesome board. Learned more here during my lurkdom than umm.....ever. Anyways, if you get a moment, please check out my tune at my page and let me know what you think. Your feedback is most definitely...
