Latest work in progress. Guitar effects through a Boss BR-800. Bass and strings converted from guitar through a GR55. Remix with boosted bass, re-recorded solo, etc. Nearly there! Hissy faked acoustic removed, octave run out added, volume lowered a few decibels. Latest version...

OK, thanks all. Some very practical suggestions there. Had my first play with Reaper and not sure really. Could only adjust volumes, and panning, but didn't delve into eq or effects. Also couldn't see how to master and boost, so just saved a live on the fly mix. Lowered the volume, raised...

Original mix: Reaper mix:

That's a great song. It's got the feel of the theme for a quality 90s or 2000s USA TV drama. Something like Six Feet Under, Thirtysomething or Northern Exposure. I mean that as a compliment. Well played and recorded as it is, but interested to hear it if you add lyrics and vocals.

Another good one. Like Jilted John and the Toy Dolls and The Buzzcocks. Similar in theme to your Supergirl one, but that's a popular theme, the one of unrequited love. Only thing that really grates for me is the "I'll bet she says something dumb" line in the chorus. This is the object of...

Bad Moon Rising. Played the wrong way in standard tuning, D, A, and G. I told a friend, Teach me that, and that's it, that's all I ever want to know! 38 years later and I've learned thousands and still learning!

Thank you again, sir! See my points in the previous post on how I created this sonic mess! Just kidding, I get it, and am aware of how it got there. I will take all your points and try better when remixing. I'm a fan of electric overdriven songs in G, as that open string rings out and drones...

Totally fair and constructive points there, thank you. The overdriven indie/grunge sound is one I'm a fan of, but it's not something I deliberately try to create. I just often end up there! Acoustic or two, clean chorus, chuggy rhythm, chiming arpeggios, and before you know it it's hard to...

Any thoughts, guys?

Why have you uploaded a well known George Michael song on this thread? ?

Grateful for any thoughts on song structure, composition, amount of guitar parts, influences, mix, background harmonies etc. Aware of some bum vocal notes in there! Cheers

Sounds like a long lost Gerry Rafferty number to me. High praise.

Has the link to the track disappeared for everyone? I can't see it. Can you directly attach the latest mp3 to the thread?

OK. Tumbleweed with this idea I guess...

Very nice songwriting there. A mix of reassuring ('right') chords and a couple of surprising ones. Indie folk sounds like a horror film genre, but there is definitely a sinister undercurrent at some points, and in the lyrics, so that's fitting. I think the opening is fine, but maybe the first...

Good fun song. A Man of Constant Sorrow and one of Ringo's solo numbers comes to mind. Good use of the escalating verse technique.

VERY shoegazy. More American than the UK ones, I hear Pavement in there, but you're more tuneful!
