LOL! Oh the humanity. Hope you've got a sense of humour schenkerguy. Don't feel TOO insulted :)

Nice tune and nice FX on the guitar. I liked the melody at the start and at the end, but the middle sounded too synth for my tastes. Actually, I really liked the melody towards the end, especially that part where the wah guitar switches to the distorted guitar. The song is crying out for a...

Here is a cover of The POLICE - 'Message in a Bottle' that I did with my band some time ago on some crappy equipment. They were a very young band...I was the oldest by a couple of years. Everyone else under 19 at the time! Enjoy this rough track. Right click and save target...

The tune is excellent. /QUOTE] Thanks! Can't wait till I record it with drums and electrics. My brother is an excellent drummer and I actually wrote the song specifically for drums. If you know of a song called Lido Shuffle by Boz Scaggs, that's the groove I eventually want to get. Yes, I...

Hi lynx, I'm surprised you haven't got any responses yet. I thought you sounded pretty good on that track. Did you write the song? I've listened to many songs here as well as on recordingproject.com and the biggest problem with a lot of songs is simply off tune vocals. I'm happy to say that you...

Dave, I had a listen to Gravity. You sound like you put a fair amount of effort into it, so good job in that regard. Technically, the music is ok. The drums annoyed me. I didn't like all the double bass rebound kicks. It was a tad overdone. I can't really say anything about the guitar except...

Thank you for the comments. I don't hear the muddiness on my computer speakers. I can hear the individual bass notes, but it may be a bit loud. I can't go back and remix it though, because I had to delete the tracks to free up enough memory to produce the final wav file doh. Oh well, it was just...

It would help if I posted the song...right click and save target: http://www.geocities.com/jonathantan77/jack.mp3

Hi everyone Here's a fun song I wrote called 'What would Jack do?'. It's an unplugged version since my drummer brother is having exams and doesn't have time to drum it for me. Firstly, the sad part: For those who follow the TV series Stargate: SG1, you'll recognise the lyrics as being about the...

Hi Joro I thought the bass was a little too loud. I also hear the 'pop'. That everyone else mentioned. Regarding the song itself, I agree with what's been said. YOu need a melody (whether it be singing or an instrumental solo) and some variation (like a chorus). I usually find that putting a...

More experience? Well, I think my mixing needs experience, period. I don't think I even know what vocal compression is, but I'll look into it. I know my little MR-8 has panning facilities, so I'll experiment on that too. Thanks for the tips. Jon

I presume you're referring to the song 'Love4ever'. I quite liked it. It would be great to perform that live, I'm sure. The thing I liked the most was the sound of the guitars. You got a good tone with the lead, a nice reverb on the the rhythm and a solid tight sound on the bass. My favourite is...

Lol at jfrog! I tend to write with an instrument and hum along to the chords. Once I have some idea of the concept and the chords, then I'll work on getting a verse or the chorus. At this point, the song is pretty much written, I will then work on the rest of the lyrics separately. Works for...

A good performance all round! I particularly like the bass and the drums are interesting. Fantastic intro. With a piece that has no obvious flaws, my comments only relate to my personal preferences. The drums are interesting, but at 0:56, just sounds a little sloppy with the fill in. It's...

The mixing was a little unbalanced with the bass a tad loud and the keyboards being too distant. The piano doesn't sound full. But it's just a live mix, so don't worry too much about that. The song sounds like a simple folkish/bluesy song, but I think the arrangement and musicianship is trying...
