    Rock type song: Unity

    this is a very pretty song, i like it a lot as far as writing, but the production has a few problems: i'm hearing two guitars, one clean and one ditortion... there may be a bass in there somewhere too, but it's hard to tell, which is problem number one your clean guitar is all lows and it's...

    Wet Blanket Girl

    this is really good... maybe bring the vocals up a little and compress them a bit, --compression is my answer to everything, you can usually just ignore anything i say about compression, all of my own music sounds like it's about to blow the speakers and the voice sounds like it's coming through...

    Mandolin-rock song

    i think the mix is dead on. it's a very obscure type of music. i see a picture of a traveling minstrel on a country road. to adjust the mix, upping the compression or dropping the vocals back would lose some of its flavor. the only thing i'd even consider doing to the mix is maybe bring the...

    My own take on "Hungry Like The Wolf", feedback please?

    My band is finally starting to take off, so I've decided to collect all of my home recording stuff and collect and remaster it and put it all on one CD for friends and family... sort of a definitive collection. This track is actually something that I recorded and eventually scrapped altogether...

    Howard Stern's "Restless Restless" Song Contest

    I haven't been here for ages, but I came back to see what kind of competition I'd be up against in Stern's contest, but to my surprise I come back to see no one posting anything about it. Did anyone besides me enter this thing? http://gearslutz.com/board/attachment.php3?s=&postid=177985

    What DAW (PC/MAC) Software do you use?

    cool edit pro 2.0 and.. a few other things... you know, just odds and ends plugins... nothing big or expensive or pirated... though i'm interested to hear what the new NWR features will be...

    A re-mix of my 1.5 hour challenge. I could really use some feedback.

    i like it a lot... as i mentioned about the other version... but i can't really remember enough about the first mix to tell any difference between the two.... except that i notice the low end of your guitar (or is it an actual bass in there?) is coming through very heavily... made my subwoofer...

    "Chase Me Down The Street" - comments welcome.

    just read some of the other reviews (a little late) don't worry about a lack of energy, this song needs to be a lazy sort of half asleep type of song, i know i just said to key the whole song up to allow more room for your voice... but that wasn't about feeling, that was about RANGE... it sounds...

    "Chase Me Down The Street" - comments welcome.

    this is a really cool song, i like the lyrics a lot and the general feel behind it... a mood setting type of song. only suggestion would be to try it in a higher key, so as to give you more room vocally... this isn't a screamer, but you're singing so low in a lot of this, you're kind of...

    Anyone fancy collaborating?

    i really don't have anything to offer as far as collaboration, but that's a really cool sound... i've always though of hand-claps as pretty cheesy in a rock-type setting, but somehow it works very well for this tune... way too much compression though... i hope you get somewhere with this tune.

    everyone post URLS here, please

    it looks like the "cover another member's song" challenge is probably gonna be the winner. so i would like to ask everyone interested in participating to post the URL to their music here. even if we decide to go with another challenge, it would be nice for some of us newbies to have one nice...

    Last Hurrah

    i think this is a really great song, personally... the repetition is kind of the hook, i think... have you ever heard of "mourning widows", it's nuno bettencourt's current band... he does vocals and lead guitar... this song really reminds me a lot of some of their stuff, which coming from me is...

    The HR Bi-Monthly Recording Challenge Poll

    i've voted for "cover another member's song" i'm hoping that it's okay to cover the other member's song in another style, because that's kind of my thing. i would also like to give persmission to any member of this board to cover my music (as if anyone would want to) the majority of my original...

    idea?

    you know, there's always the possibility of everyone voting on one song (preferably one that's not too difficult to perform or sing) no mariah carey or van halen please) and we can all cover it, attempting to reproduce it is closely as possible, down to the mixing and vocals and everything. i...

    idea?

    personally, the things that have been mentioned that grappbed my opinion were: 1. tribute CD of songs written by one particular artist or group. 2. tributes to other members of the clinic. 3. collaboration: someone submits a very basic song, just a chord progression and lyrics (with melody)...
