Havent listened to the songs yet (shitty firewall at work) so Ill take a listen tonight, but I thought i'd add my 2p on the topic.
I've only been here for a coupla weeks, and the reason I came here sounds remarkably similar to yours......
I went solo a few years back ,and have been doing everything myself ever since....the trouble with it being 'just you' is its difficult to be objective about the mix/recording/quality, cus your too close to the songs.
For this reason I posted my draft mixes up, and the guys here helped tremendously, in fact more than anyone else has helped my mixing. Now I have a mastered CD which I believe sounds good, and many people here have echoed, and I put 90% of the final mix quality down to the advice / retweak / readvice I recieved here.
I guess once you have been through this cycle once, you get drawn in here and 'fuel the fire' by critiquing other peoples mixes in return.
Within the space of a month, this has become my most viewed site on the web.
In short, this is a great place.
