This is a thousand times better. Great work! Also - I gotta plug the K-Dub's response. Ebb and flow in music gives it life. It's easier said than done, but if you can get away with taking it out, take it out - whatever it is, be it instruments or frequencies or plugins. Often times, less is...

I'm just going to type as I listen. That clicky thing in the middle (not the stereo stuff) - is a bit too loud in the beginning - not bad... Just enough to say "hi! I'm here" too loudly.. Okay - drums coming in now - and holy cow... The space you've got around them is amazing... Very good...

Nice! The tone of your sax is smoooooth. Great job! This is one of the funnest songs I've ever played on bass (but I'm not much of a bass player). Anyway... I produced a dozen or so songs during Covid. The one below is my cover of Bill Wither's Lean On Me - a song I've always loved. I...

Oh my gosh... This is horrendous. They obviously knew something was wrong. Just stop the song, communicate for a couple seconds, figure out what the issue is, fix it and restart. Not a big deal. If stopping wasn't an option, and I were the keyboard player, I'd be reaching for the transpose...

Upon hitting 'play', it's fairly evident that the loudness of this song is causing pretty heavy distortion. I immediately turned it all down (which generally is not something you want your listeners to do). So, other than the overall volume level, I don't hear anything too crazy - but, sad to...

Trance is my jam. I've been listening to trance while coding for more than a decade now. This doesn't suck! I'd pump up the sub frequencies a bit and keep at it. Thanks for sharing!

Wow... What a take on this song. So - bass is almost all sub-freqs and what sounds like room reverb... Like - the bass sounds like it's almost all resonance after-the-fact - with no original signal. Same thing with the sub-freqs of the kick. I would bring up the non-sub parts of the drums...

Man... It's been years since I've visited this site... The mix sounds good... If I were to nit-pick, I would say that the bass guitar is low-mid heavy. I would cut the bass at around 350HZ by as much as it needs... What a fun concept for a song! Also - I would bring the drums up just a...

So... It's been a long while since I've been here, but more than 10 years ago, this place (and a guy named Greg L and a few others) taught me how to mix acoustic drums. I'll be forever grateful. I'm posting this because me and a good friend have decided to provide courses on the basics of...

Yo, K-dub. It's been years, man. Just wanted to come and tell ya - I think it sounds good, bro! I agree with the previous comments regarding the high-end. It might be a bit too strident. Also - the ultra-distorted drums at the beginning probably could have worked a bit better if it wasn't...

Been using Studio One since 2014.

I love the garage feel of this. If I'm being honest, the delay on the guitar got just a bit monotonous, but ... love your drum sound and in general, the mix sounds good. The high-end of the guitars might need a bit of taming while contrasted against the drums / synths. Translated well over...

Rock on, man! It's been years... Guitar work is fantastic, drums sound good, and bass is definitely above par. If I can say two things, they would be - that tambourine in my right ear gets a little fatiguing, and the drums need to be brought up a bit when things get busy. Keep rockin', man!

So, it's been too long since I posted. I hope to make up for that by this cover of Enya's Orinoco Flow. I'm going to use it for a YouTube video and I'm interested in pretty much any feedback. Updated Mix v2 http://www.artcitysound.com/clients/testbed/Orinoco_Flow.mp3 Thank you! PS - For...

So, I've decided I've gone completely nuts. For the past six months, I've been making weekly YouTube videos, and to go along with the videos are fully-produced songs. These songs are covers of popular songs from any era. I've done 32 so far, and it's been kind of crazy, as it started on a...
