I haven't been here in quite some time. I thought I'd get the communities input on this track. My dad wrote the lyrics back in the 70's but never wrote any music so I thought "why not?". Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. It's called "Hummingbird 344" Hummingbird 344

Can I be in your band? To say I'm a Queen fan is a large understatement and this compares so well. Excellent voice and playing. A real drummer would be fantastic although these drums sound very good. Oh and analog, you must record on 16 track 2" tape and bounce until the oxide starts to come...

Post your stuff on thesixtyone.com. I do. Everyone should. It's a great way to get your stuff heard and some recognition. You won't make any money but it's a new age.

I'm listening on laptop speakers. The snare seems fine but the click on the kick is not good. It sounds like clipping. Cool tune.

Now we're talking! Excellent. I'm listening on my laptop (yesterday it was on proper speakers) and everything sound great level wise. Now there's a real transformation and release from the verse to the chorus. There's a cool Blue Oyster Cult quality to the verse, I like your voice (Bowie?) in...

I like the song. It's different and cool. I think you need to keep tweaking the phasey vocal, it's too muddy and undefined right now and doesn't work. The clean vocal sounds good but might be a little too present in the mix. I love the ahhh vocals a lot, but they and the organ are eating up the...

Someone is up past his bedtime.

I don't want to bump my thread anymore, so I thought I'd just pm you. Thanks for listening to Advance Machine again. I'm playing around with the panning a little more so it doesn't lean to much to the left. I'm a liberal but come on...

Incanus, thanks for the compliments, that does wonderous things for my ego. I'm very self conscious of my voice. Vomithat, thanks for listening AGAIN. I'm busy narrowing down mics for my snare fart recording. I hope you like it. I really appreciate everyones input. You guys are awesome. While...

Bozmillar, thanks for listening and commenting. You were listening to an updated mix with drums louder. As for the vocals, yep, it's my achilles heel. I tend to blow through them. I wasn't too sure about the melody I'd written so I did a perfunctory job. I might need to take some time and let...

I love cheese! I wouldn't buy that as real strings for a second BUT my grandma probably would. It's a lovely sound for sure, Vangelis should have been so lucky to have that back in the 70's. I wouldn't change a thing about the mix, it's very nice. What do you use for piano?

Kick ass drumming. I just got DFH but haven't used them yet. I would love to be able to "play" them like you do as opposed to programming. I don't know what it is about the bass guitar on the chorus... I like the sound during the verses but it's distracting during the chorus. I wish the guitars...

Awesome. That's a great acoustic recording, very smooth. I love the balance of the guitars and vocals. I think there's room to bring up the perc. I think it will really get the song driving even more than it is right now. Very cool. Nice playing.

Ido, Vomithat, Guitar zero... Thank you so much for listening and commenting. I'm really glad you like it. You know how it is... you work on something for a long time and after awhile you have absolutely no idea what it is. It really helps to have fresh ears listening. Vomithat, I boosted the...

Very impressive for your age (not that you're that young). I think you misunderstood- you shouldn't notice the drums coming down. You could bring them down slower or not quite as much. The sibilance thing is hard. Be careful boosting anything in the 5-8k range as that's where it lives, do a...
