Every year on Valentines I try and post a song/video on Facebook to say hello to friends and family before I resume my hermithood. This year I had a collaborator, a singer friend of mine and we decided on The Cars "Bye Bye Love" to continue the ironic valentines choice of years past. I haven't...

You're correct, I was listening through a new interface and i think my gain staging is off, i did not jump for the volume in my normal listening environment, my bad!

Hell yes! Classic bulls hit, this one is really arranged well with your big drums the synth bass which is in time most of the time! The background noises really fill things out and make for a bit of unease in listening which i like alot. Vocals sound cool and sit well in the mix. Great!

Well that was different, I like the experimental nature. The voices make for a cool effect but the delivery/timing/mix/ something?? throws off the groove imo. Drums have a nice tight sound and the soloing is excellent! I like the pad sounds from im guessing the guit synth. Really interesting listen!

Holy loud! I like the song, good rock song! good playing, sounds and perfomances. The slide playing is especially well done! Drums have a canned sound, everything else sounds great. There's a mastered sheen on this that's a little over the top imo, like what LANDR or an ozone preset set to...

Nice! Vocals sound great, very smooth but still upfront. You've made a bold choice with that filter on the drums, i like the idea but it sounds just too unatural on the snare hits, in my opinion. Really good modern sounding mix overall, i imagine this would sound good through any medium. I like...

Here's the latest, a collaboration between a singer friend and myself, a revived song from our band days 20+ years ago! First song with my "new" rme ufx that i've been asking santa for for so many years. Alot going on in this one, let me know how it's sounding. I think the balance is pretty good...

If I had to narrow down to essentials I would have: -Strat type for single coil sound (the coil tapping humbucker never seems to do it for me) -Tele type -solidbody humbucker with locking tremolo -Semi hollow 6+12 string electrics (335,Ric etc) -Jazz type hollow body

Sounds nice! I like the mood created by the vocals against the music. The drums sound great but yeah i agree they sound almost too distinct and upfront, like a real drummer might layout naturally during the verses so you can really hear the words and pick it up as the music gets louder, maybe...

Oooh a mel9, that pedal has been tempting me forever, how do you like it? I like the tune and the mix! Nice change that minor 7? chord is a nice release. I was hearing more ambient type soloing in my head, you did it in the last go round with those nice high sounds but i think you should do...

Thank you all for the nice and helpful comments. Seems the consencus is to turn up the vocals. I agree, the vocals are at a constant volume and need to be raised as the music volume gets louder. That's my plan for today. There's also some synth tracks that are muddying up the bottom at times...

Awesome! Talk about a nostalgia piece, really cool she'll be able to listen back on this throughout her life and remember where she came from. The beauty of recording!

Really nice playing! I like the way you're using the open tuning with pull offs, alot of nice movement in the acoustic part. Guitars sounds well recorded and the multiple parts are tight considering how busy the playing is. Well done!

I like the song, i agree with others comments about the bass/drums mix, seems like the drums sound seperate from the bass and guitars. I think dry drums would probably suit the material, if i were producing that might be the change i would try. There's also some mistakes in the drum part which...

Sounds great! I agree the beginning transition between the vocal and the keys coming in sounds unnatural somehow. I like the chord progression and the vocal track(s) are excellent. I'm surprised at the lack of bass, about halfway through the track i started to notice some bottom end but it seems...
