Love the energy. Love the guitar parts. A couple of timing issues here and there. early in the song. To me, the scooped guitars didn't fit things well. I agree there is a whole lot of low end. The snare is a bit slappy. Didn't sound exactly like a snare. Vocals are a little buried.

I thought this was great. Great playing and singing. Great clarity on everything. Tone sounds nice on everything. OK the harmonica might be a little loud. I'd center it too. Maybe take some mid-2Ks out of it. And a little pop at 1:02. On the word "keep." But overall I really liked it.

Love the vibe. Love the bass part. Not sure exactly what you're doing with the vocal. But it's kind of smeared and taking up a lot of space. It's lacking clarity. If it's doubled, I'd pull the doubled track down a bunch. The delay/reverb on them is pretty thick. I also think the low end...

Recording fidelity is excellent. Things sound very clear. Performances sound excellent too. The mix sounds compressed/limited a bit too hard. But that might be YouTube doing some/most/all of that. I'd agree to pull the female vocal back a db or two in the verses. I'd roll just a bit of low...

Thanks @TalismanRich. I like that song. It was great.

Real pleasing sounds. I liked the addition of the brass section. The rhythm parts are really cool. Each section of the song goes on a bit long and things get close to being too repetitive. Since it's (mostly) a non-vocal piece, you need to change things up more frequently than if there is a...

@Thekesslerboy - thanks for the thoughts on both the music and lyrics. I take your point on the "dumb" stuff. But to me, the song is about a superficial guy with a superficial crush on a superficial girl. And saying dumb stuff goes with the theme. But, like I say, I take your point...

No. Some attenuation in the mid-2Ks because my voice is a bit harsh. But nothing on the top end.

@Meter - thanks for the listen! @Papanate - the songwriting exercise was to write a song that sounded like "There She Goes." So that's why I threw that in at the end. As for mix critiques... I brightened up the jangle guitar on the right and the riff. I boosted the reverb level on the...

Thanks @OSHC . I appreciate it. Small edit - corrected a couple of off-timed snare hits. No other changes. New file in the original post.

The lead guitar in the first section sounded cool. Even with all the big reverb. I'm not usually a fan of that. But it worked well here. Not a big fan of the bass sound. The twangy "round wound" sound, to me, didn't fit the rest of the sound. It also lacked a little low-mid warmth. The...

Here is a song I did a few years ago, but re-did recently. I'd love to hear comments. Thanks. MIX #1 MIX #2 - brighter jangle guitars, verb-ier acoustic guitar, drums slightly forward. The Girl in the Barbie Box Some girls ignore me 'cause they're way too tall You know the kind of girl...

The guitars sound real good. So does the bass (it might be a db too loud). The vocal sounds good through a large part of the song. There are a couple of "stressed" vocal notes that get a little weird - almost in a pitch corrected way. Really like the guitars tho.

Cool groove and feel to the song. The guitars seem really bunched up in the 2K-5K range. They're covering the vocal. I'd go with a completely different guitar sound. Like a classic Marshall crunch sound. Get it out of the vocal space and in a lower register. The vocal sounds decent to me...

It sounded really nice. Nice rich tone on the acoustic guitar. Low end sounds good. There is a lot going on in the center. If there is going to be a vocal, you may need to move things out of the way.

I thought it sounded really good. Nice song. Guitars and drums sound real good. The vocal has great clarity. For the most part, I think the performance is good. There is a short section or two where the delivery seems a little tentative. A pitch issue or two. Check the vocal between :45 -...

I'm not an expert in this kind of music. But I'll tell you what I liked and didn't like. The kick and the handclaps are pretty "clicky". Lot's of attack. I'd try to pick something that's not as aggressive on the attack. I thought the synth sounds, all around, were nice. I'd keep those...

Cool feel to the song. I liked the dynamic panning stuff that you did in the intro. Heard a (very) little knock against the acoustic guitar around :35. You might want to edit it out if possible. If not, it's so small you could leave it in. Really nice tone on the vocal. Very nice singing...

Real nice performances and really nice instrumental arrangement. Great clarity on everything. I don't like a lot of reverb, so there was too much of that for me. There is a bit of a "sterile" feeling across the mix. Like things are missing low midrange - somewhere in the 400hz - 1600hz...

Thanks everyone. There is a bass and there is reverb. I typically go light on both of those things - I know I'm in the minority as far as my personal taste goes on those things. But I think the observations are fair and I maybe went a little too light. I'll play with some levels on those...
