    It certainly has the punk sound to it, you captured that well. I think there might be a bit too much low end. I can't tell if it is the bass or the rhythm guitars or both? EL

    Late 60s British guitar group rip off - "Raising Hell"

    Thekesslerboy, just want to apologize for my post above. I sound like I'm the loudness police or something. Make it as loud as you like. Rock on!

    Late 60s British guitar group rip off - "Raising Hell"

    It might be good, I don't know, it's so freaking loud I can't hear it. You're twice as loud as 'Won't Get Fooled Again' by The Who. Numerically, not technically twice as loud in case someone comes in with the log scale. Here is a link to check your loudness...

    Moth

    Great recording, a bit loud as TripleM already pointed out. Seeing as most people use LUFS these days, I've found that for quieter music like this, that has a lot of dynamics, a target around 12dB- 14dB would be reasonable. There is some noise before your intro line, I think it is the djembe...

    Girl from the North Country

    Wow. You're an awesome singer. Excellent pitch / timbre the whole nine yards. If that was all live, including the harmonica, very impressive. Even if not, and overdubbed, still great. My only small nit would be I find the acoustics have a bit of mid range harshness. Wonder what this would...

    One track at a time, drums first. How?

    Don't write drum tracks. Write / record your songs with a click track, and then let you and / or your drummer come up with the appropriate drums. This is the downside of multitrack recording. Unless you have a 'band' and are recording and playing live all the time, then you have to make...

    Mid 90s indie guitar US trio type number: Grace

    Catchy, driving song. I like the vocal delivery and the sound of them. I agree with others, the 'chimey' guitars are bit too high frequency. Not knowing what they sound like, un-EQ'd, it's hard to say how to fit them in the mix. Changing the EQ would be a starting point I suppose. I'd...

    Old NAS

    Steenamaroo is more then likely correct in his solution. I'd be more concerned about using an old NAS for anything serious then enabling SMB1. If the hard drives have never been changed in it, they are more then likely in a state of failure. @rob aylestone Most NAS's (if not all, there might...

    Another Face In The Crowd

    TripleM: Thanks for checking it out. I'll take a look at those areas with the pitch issues, although I do plan to redo it. Maybe not all of it though. Appreciate the listen. Thekesslerboy: I never would have guessed any similarity to a Gerry Rafferty song / style. I listened to a bit of...

    Another Face In The Crowd

    dobro: Thanks for taking the time to listen to it. That was so long ago, but I guess my vocal 'style' hasn't changed too much. I will try again on this one though, as Papanate graciously pointed out, they could use some improvement. I've been watching the Ken Tamplin videos on occasion (not...

    Another Face In The Crowd

    60's guy: Thank you for listening to it. If you ever decide to play it, I tuned to 432Hz. Papanate: Vocals have always been a struggle for me, I get the 'non-confident' comment often, and it is accurate. They have been somewhat edited, and part of the problem I think is that the take is...

    Another Face In The Crowd

    A song I've been working on lately. Any feedback appreciated. I've been out of the loop a bit with all the new streaming services etc, Soundcloud seems ok and I think I hosted with them years ago. This is a bit different then the other couple songs I've posted. Happy boxing day. EL

    Tempo Too Fast? / Mix Feedback

    Well you are not too far into the song as it is, being a sketch. Try it slower and see how it fits? EL

    Tempo Too Fast? / Mix Feedback

    It is pretty slow as-is. I wouldn't go any slower, personally. I can however, hear it either way faster, or a few BPM faster. I've found BPM's really tricky. I find some days, some of the songs I'm working on sound so freaking slow. And then a week later, they sound normal again. They...

    Soundcraft Signature 12 MTK and Windows 11

    I'm happy Windows 11 is working well for you Rob. My issues with 11 are not specific to audio interfaces. You bring up a good point though, OP should just try it and see, he may have absolutely no issues. cstocksdale, you also might consider backing out of the transaction, if it is not too...

    Soundcraft Signature 12 MTK and Windows 11

    Given the pos that Windows 11 is, it wouldn't surprise me. I've been running the MTK 22 channel version for a few years on Windows 10 with no issues. You could always install Windows 10, if possible. Depending how new your computer is, you may have some issues finding drivers, or maybe no...

    Is the Mix Muddy?

    I think it sounds good Nola, raising the organ a tiny bit was a good move. Print away! EL

    Is the Mix Muddy?

    You're very welcome, happy to help out. You have a very evocative song here, and that takes a lot of talent. EL

    Is the Mix Muddy?

    Yes, that's way better, the snare is back to normal tonally, and centered in the mix. I think there is a little less mud then previous mixes, but that wasn't what was bothering me about the mix initially, it was more the left right balance. I was worried I was getting a bit too knit picky...

    Is the Mix Muddy?

    That is better, although it seems a little left of center still. Seems to have more compression going on to it, as the 'snare' sound of the drum is not as present as in your previous mixes. I use mono compressors on the individual drums if required, and stereo if I'm compressing a stereo...
