    New Song - Texas Heat

    I think the whole kit could level up quite a bit. Nice!

    New Studio, New Song, First Attempt at Upright Bass

    Ya mon! That's the sound! Yup: uprights creak...strings on the fingerboard...'specially when there's rosin residue in the area. It gets lost in the mix, but you can hear it when soloed. But that particular noise sounds like a foot tapping. Maybe a bare foot? Or the mics are really close...

    New Studio, New Song, First Attempt at Upright Bass

    In case you missed my last sub, [haven't seen ya around] MP3 Player SoundClick That's an SM58 16" out front of the treb F hole. Wicked simple. The lads said it sounded good. Best sound I've gotten yet. Further away gets too much room; closer, and y' gotta roll-off bass [proximity effect]...

    New Studio, New Song, First Attempt at Upright Bass

    I like the tune , her voice, the mix, and the FX applications [I can't hear the distortion, if any] The mando has these pick-dragging-the-strings transients way out in front...and it sounds like LD condenser harshness....the kind you don't get with a Neumann. I know that sound. I got rid of...

    Metal Metal Metal - I need some advice. Please help :D

    I'm not sure I know exactly what you mean, I'm not sure I know what I mean, either! But that's a likkedy tune!

    Metal Metal Metal - I need some advice. Please help :D

    Without having read other comments.... WOW. Are you playing a real kit?? Gold medal! Never heard such a perfect blur. Crikey! My take on what might make it better...FWIIW: The blur sections. Thin the rockestra above the drums...like bass and one guitar playing a line matching the drum...

    Jazzy Blues

    "mono it up" a little bit. It's a little too stark and isolated to my ears. I tried to keep the midrange instruments a lot to the wings. The target for the work is a floor for voice-over....Oprah or something. The publishers like vox-range stuff to be out of the way of the vox.....a hole...

    On My Mind-Bluegrass Content

    Love it. @ sorta nits: 1- the ambience...large hall or something? ....is not as pleasant as the last one by you I heard...that was real dry and reeked of '38. This one sounds more distant. 2-the spread , with the mando L and guit R is really extreme. The 'communication' between the...

    DECENTER - July WIP

    Tight. Well mixed. Major Foo-age. I love the Foos. You major in them for college? Love the chords and the bass note selections....the way you spread the voices in opposing directions to open up the sound...then closed the stacks. You trained, or just a natch'l? The ninthie and sussie...

    So I got this new 'thing'...

    I love the snotty garage groove. The sound of the recording got to me in a really good way. What's missing is a feature vocal punched out by a tatted punk babe during the times when the center feature guitar should be takin' five. Real good recording. Needs some arranging and additional...

    Feel Good Muzik

    I'm old. I thought I was gonna get a Detroit Marvin Gaye sweet groove...and that the sweet-voiced girl waz gonna lure me in. Then the looping. Then the rap. Then the lack of a true drum groove to move me. The first few bars got me ready for much more. Disappointed. With a melody, some...

    Check out my first mix and let me know what you think. Please and Spank you

    All the recorded instruments and vocals span the freq range from mids-up. No boom in the bot-tom. The vox sound like they were recorded in a plastic trash bin...maybe on purpose? I got half-way through. Irritating and fatiguing, cuz of the sound, and lack of development in a groove. The...

    Song 001

    Nope. Nearly mono-sounding. No ambience to help the spread. The music...arrangement and performance......I did not savor.
