No it's not DIed, it's a mic pointed to a Hot Rod Deluxe. When you say you're not a fan of barbones rhythm guitar, as opposed to what? I'll work on the panning, I hadn't noticed it was that bad. I have a habit of listening to something for a while and losing my critical ear about it. Thanks...

Hey all, https://soundcloud.com/fasterandfaster/circle Any thoughts on mix, arrangement and the like?

Shit man, this is good. I have nothing to say on the mix, it's a lot better than I could have done. Just wanted to say nice work.

I hear you man. I was going with the thought of setting the mood and making the listener feel a little off kilter, but you're right, too much time. I also plan on dialing back the feedback. I'm still going to have it play throughout, but at lower volumes and compressed. Thanks again for...

I love the stereo effect in the echo and modulation. The drums sound a little weak to my ears, but I've heard that before in this style and it might fit perfectly with what you're trying to do. I found myself listening to the bass mostly, lots of cool stuff going on there.

Wow, great replies. Thanks so much for giving it a listen. I'm starting to agree about the panned distortion sound. It was my first try using a Swollen Pickle Fuzz pedal, and I stacked it with a Tube Screamer. I guess I wanted to use that combo more than it made sense. I have some time...

Howdys all round. I haven't lurked or posted here in a while, but I've recently gotten some new gear: Fender Tele, Hot Rod Deluxe, Eventide H9... that sort of thing. I am working on a song that I haven't written or attempted vocals yet, but I thought I'd see if anyone would check it out if I...

yeeeah buddy, thank you for all the replies. It was recorded into Tascam DP-02 with just a pickup on the acoustic (which might explain the dryness of the tone), and a keyboard of course. I liked the idea of some strings, maybe a cello? Vocals too of course if we could come up with something...

but let's see how this one does...any thoughts or critiques? http://soundcloud.com/followthebirds/01-plunky

bumparoo? just thought I'd give it one more shot before it fades into history...

Hey thanks for posting man. You're a 1 out of 80 kind of guy. I am thinking about pulling the first synth back a bit. I don't want to freak people out right out of the gate. The guitars you hear and just two acoustic guitars plugged directly into my M-Audio Fasttrack. Thanks again

Hey man just a quick suggestion. I haven't heard the song because I have to download it, and I'm not down with that. Maybe post it on soundcloud or something that we can stream? I'm not trying to sound bossy, just thought it'd be nice.

Well I for one love the title and subject matter, but I'm not sure how it's going to play with most, ya know? I like the song, too. Kind of lazy and aggressive at the same time. You have some good soloing chops, friend. Keep it up dude, I'd jam it.

Hey guys, My brother and I just got done working on this recording today. Any thoughts on the mix or arrangement? http://soundcloud.com/followthebirds/change-it Change it. by followthebirds on SoundCloud - Create, record and share your sounds for free

Thanks man. I'll try the NI forums too.
