Cool. Which line 6 amp? I ask because I have an old 1x12 Flextone II combo that sounds great!

Thanks! My family was out of town for the week so I worked on music after work. Mon evening I wrote a song that was kind of dumb so I scrapped it. Tuesday evening I wrote one that was just OK. Wednesday I wrote this one and liked it so I finished it Thursday evening. Friday evening was clean the...

Hey, I like the samples! Sounds cool. Tell me about how you recorded the other parts.

Awesome, thanks! Yeah, guitar tones are so subjective. I usually don’t go so fizzy but I thought it kinda worked on this one.

Thanks for the analysis! I did a little pitch correction on the lead vocal in a few spots that stood out to me but trying to keep it transparent. No pitch correction on any of the backups. There is also a lead vocal double that has no pitch correction as well. I’ll go back and try to listen for...

I wrote this last night; played some drums for it and mixed it this evening. I had a fun time with this one. About imperfect people in imperfect relationships that are trying and aren’t that good at showing gratitude. Feedback is always appreciated, thanks! Stupid Ways I’d do anything at all...

Cool tune, no complaints about the mix here. Love the bass line. Cool lead guitar. Vocals sound great too. Nice work!

I use Waves Tune. I only put it on main vocals in parts that need some help. I’ll look at the plugin to see how to dial it back. I definitely want it to sound transparent. Thanks!

Thanks Supercreep (Lizard People?)! : )

Cool, so sounds like I need to brighten up the snare a bit, or maybe just cut a certain frequency? Also, I should probably punch in and fix a few of the drum parts that have some timing issues. I think my right shoulder could handle a few more short takes! And my voice is a little more...

Thanks, I really like that the lyrics would resonate with someone. They mean a lot to me. My grandparents passed away in the last couple years after spending a few in a “retirement home”. And that was after years of of my grandpa often saying “I don’t ever want to be a fly catcher in a nursing...

I increased the speaking part a little and tweaked a few things in the mix. Hopefully a little better…

Well that’s encouraging. What practice do you recommend? Just repetition? Or something a little more organized? Honestly I’d rather practice playing drums than get into programming drums. I’m not against blending in sampled drum hits to add something that’s missing. I generally try to record...

I did struggle with separating the guitars. Probably need to re-record with a different tone? Any ideas on the drums? I’m not great at playing, recording, or mixing drums…so I’d love to hear your thoughts. Also, not a chance I’ll ever sing much better! Oh well!

I increased the volume of the speaking part. Still a little hard to understand, but it helped. Thanks!
