Got a little more time to respond today
SLuiCe- Don't forget to take out the trash.
Myx62- Thank you for listening and commenting. Not sure how important the rimshot sound is to me, but if it gets to be a problem you let me know.
Thanks bud.
powderfinger- Yea I am psyched to have real bass on this. Gives me much more confidence in the rest of the mix! Thanks brotha.
freshears- Hmmm...not quite sure what, if anything, I did differently with acoustics. Maybe bass being more present has given the impression of a different tone in the acoustic, or something like that. One part definitely affects another so maybe. Glad you still like it though. Cheers.
GT- Thank you!
musical5- Ya, I love Elfman's music. I wouldn't say I spend a lot of time listening to him these days, or anything really (unfortunately). But I really got into the
Nightmare soundtrack. It made me really want to get into film scoring. But finding the time to get into that and still hold a carpenter job is not easy. I listened to some Boingo, but no Oingo Boingo. I must check it out. Thanks for listening!
sjcrts- Thanks Scott. I'm going to do something a capella, but with harmonies. Don't know what yet. I posted that Tom Waits tune with no rehearsal and only two takes, so I wasn't feeling very confident at all. Just killing time until I got Pedullist's approval for the bass mix here. I'll try something..
Cheers.
Middleman- Thanks!
Jasonbird- Thanks!
Bass Master "K"- We can do a lot without spending much money when we spend some time with our stuff. The solutions are not always gear upgrades. I'm still milking the same gear I've been using for a year, most of it I bought when I started less than two years ago. Just listen to what people are hearing in your mixes, then go find a solution on your own. It's fun, aggravating, and rewarding all at once. Thanks for listening!
groucho- Your advice was spot on (See my post above from yesterday). Thanks again.
M. Brane- Thanks!
antij- Hey man thanks for observations and and checking out the other tunes for contrast. I liked your recent song and hope you stick around!
MC Gitarz- Thanks Milan!
studioviols- PM's....
frprod south- I took all your suggestions. Thanks. I just sent you an email...
Pedullist- Your bass playing sucks ass.
dabluesman- Thanks!
Lt. Bob- I took your bag too.
Erland- Very nice to see you here. I hope you didn't stumble into one of my nightmare songs and spoil your good mood!
It's hard to hear my own music after being cheered up by yours!
skids- Thanks Todd. I came here for the same reasons, and have learned more than I ever thought possible here. Just by reading different peoples' observations and listening to the music they are trying to create. I would very much miss it if it was taken from me. Cheers!
