    Original tune: So Slowly Tonight (Melodic punk, pop punk, alternative)

    I put this one together this morning. I’m liking it but it needs some TLC. I’d love to add some energy to the last chorus. Increase vocal volume there and add a guitar line? I appreciate any feedback! Thanks! Lyrics: So Slowly Tonight It’s true You’ll thank me later And clouds are screaming...

    Original tune: Fair is Fair (Sludgy melodic alternative ambient rock)

    Passed the KRKVXT8 AND iPad tests…we’re getting somewhere! :LOL: Has anyone here sent something out for mastering? I’d be interested to hear your experience and recommendations.

    Original tune: Fair is Fair (Sludgy melodic alternative ambient rock)

    First of all, I’m glad you liked the tune enough to give it a second listen! Your comments help a lot. From what you’re saying (and synthesizing the other comments), it seems like the “iPad” frequencies are pretty balanced, but the low/mid mud (the other stuff that comes through bigger speakers...

    Original tune: Fair is Fair (Sludgy melodic alternative ambient rock)

    Thanks for the feedback! Definitely agree on the toms and snare. I limited to knock off 2-3 dB (Waves L2 limiter). I have no idea the best approach. Any advice on limiting?

    Original tune: Fair is Fair (Sludgy melodic alternative ambient rock)

    Awesome, thank you for the compliment! I had to look up Bob Mould. I have heard of Husker Du but never dove in. I love discovering new (to me) music. Any recommendations of where to start?

    Better for her range?

    As promised…my 13yo daughter’s newest song: Just My Imagination

    High praise from the BTS once again, thank you! Definitely proud of her talents, but more importantly her enthusiasm and love for life and creativity… …and along those lines, I feel I need to let everyone know that I never tell her that I post her songs anywhere online. Posting is for me to...

    For us poor guys out there recording and mixing

    First of all, I like the Low End theme. That’s sweet, and perfect for the forum! I do have a Martin Acoustic, but I had a crappy acoustic for 20 years before that…can I still be in the crowd? lol! I don’t mind the guitar panning, but I like listening to guitars. If I was super focused on the...

    Chicken Cherry Bitcoin

    Fun tune! I loved it. Not exactly the same thing, but I do get a slight Primus vibe as well…and I’m a huge Primus fan. My only suggestion is regarding the vocals. The big micro pitch sound is super cool, but I’d use it for only certain sections maybe giving it a feel that you’re back to the...

    Original Tune - Come on in (Heavy Melodic Alternative Rock)

    Thank you for the compliments and very good advice. It’s been beat nearly to death, but if I give it some space it might survive! The comments have been really helpful to shape this one. So again, very much appreciated everyone!

    Original Tune - Come on in (Heavy Melodic Alternative Rock)

    That was the hope. I spent more time with reference tracks while building Mix 3. Anything stand out as odd or “too much”. Thanks!

    Original Tune - Come on in (Heavy Melodic Alternative Rock)

    Ok, mix 3, a little more balanced, I think. Not as scooped and bright.

    Original Tune - Come on in (Heavy Melodic Alternative Rock)

    Spot on. Going back and hearing in different contexts, it’s a very bright mix. I’ll see what I can do.

    I will say, Odi does make some sweet tunes!

    Original Tune - Come on in (Heavy Melodic Alternative Rock)

    I should have labeled the mixes, as there are only 2 mixes…I just clarified them in the posts above, lol! Sorry, I was just trying to update the original post as I replied to Odi. Yes, I tried to give a little more midrange in the latest of the two mixes, especially in the vocals trying to get...

    Original Tune - Come on in (Heavy Melodic Alternative Rock)

    Attempt to unbury the vocals…any better (Mix 2)?…

    Original Tune - Come on in (Heavy Melodic Alternative Rock)

    Wrote and recorded this one over the weekend. I decided to try to write a song backwards (I made it up on the drums first and retrofitted the music). I even pulled out my crybaby for the first time in years. I bought it in 1994, noisy pot but it still works. Still trying to get to vocals to sit...
