    What drives you crazy about tutorial videos?

    Most times, unless it's a very simple vid, I find they either go into way too much detail, or way too little. Sometimes I have a mixed bag of knowledge, so I need things laid out in pretty simple terms some of the time, but can grasp and move on on others... I just prefer a simple html doc. Just...

    Mixing Newbie. All feedback is highly appreciated.

    The song and composition are very good. You added instruments as you went, keeping the interest going. It was a good listen. But I really suppose any response would have to be dependent on your goals. What do you want it to sound like? EDM? Movie theme? Game background? Two things hit me...

    mix monitors

    Agreed. But somehow there are a lot of people that mix on headphones. Some even recommend it if your room is under so many cubic feet. ? Ah, well.

    Electric Blue - Winter, 2021

    - Something in the electric piano sound is sounding like speaker rattle (even when I turn the volume WAY down). Sounds like my speakers are being blown out... The end hangs on a bit long for my tastes. + I like the tune. It's pretty compelling to listen through. Lots of changes and growth...

    Gibson, what have you done?

    Noticed a sales ad for AMS this morning had new 2017 Les Pauls and Firebirds for under a grand. Saw a new SG (Fusion) for just over $400. Really? Don't they own their own knock-off brand? How cheap will an Epiphone SG Fusion be? Is the economy driven so low by our last president that one of the...

    Reason 9.5

    To say that I was pleased by the announcement of Reason 9.5 would be a complete understatement...why? VST SUPPORT! Could not believe my eyes when I saw it. Most realistic interface, most seamless time stretch I've worked with, will now be able to use plugs!! Lots of other add in goodies coming...

    My Praise, Track 1

    Okay, this has been up before, but lots of work done. Got to figure out where the distortion is coming on the vocal, but please let me know about the drum balance and sound. Trying a new kit in SSD4. I really like it, but that doesn't mean it's any good...lol...

    Starting Final Mixes Song 7-A Heart Of Thanks

    Not sure if this is ready for prime time. Spent a lot of time on it this week (between other sessions) and I THINK it's close. Anyway, some things on here I never thought I'd do, but this is the concept that came into my head. https://soundcloud.com/broken_h/a-heart-of-thanks

    The New Tone Thread

    Okay, this may be out of place, but since this is a Guitar Tone thread, here goes. Left: Right: Solo: Combined: In The Mix: Using my Yamaha FG335 recorded at 9"-12" (yeah I move a bit when I play) with the MXL 2001 pointed at the 12th fret and turned about 10-15º toward the sound hole...

    Colaboration anyone? Song 12: I Know You Will

    Really need a guitar solo for this one. Have been able to do some fakery for my other tracks, but if anyone is interested???? I think the mix is close, but there's some odd mud I've not identified yet, and what-not. Need to spend some more time making the scape, too. Anyway, let me know what...

    Starting Final Mixes: Comp

    Five song compilation. Hoping these are REALLY close. Selah needs some retakes on the piano part...but interested in the overall mix. Trying to keep these viable for an "album" concept. SO, the main things I'm interested in are OBVIOUS bad things: pops and clicks I missed, vocals are way to...

    Enough Is Enough-Adding vocals kills my songs.

    I write decent songs. (personal opinion) I record the tracks well. Some of my playing skills lack, and usually those parts get kind of panned and backgrounded. Everything sounds good when I put them all together. I get great instrumental tracks (personal opinion, again, but I really think I do)...

    Starting Final Mixes Song 11 - Can't Wait To Hear From You

    First final mix (:laughings:) I always get a kick out of thinking how good something sounds, until I put it up for scrutiny. Funny how things jump out at you immediately after you render...first few vocal lines need retracked and the vocals are boxy/dead sounding. I don't like the way the hats...

    Songwriters: Do you still like your music?

    I've written a lot of songs. A lot of them never made it to "tape". Some of them have. The ones that have are some of my favorite music. It's odd to me that I love my music even though I don't like my voice much, or a lot of my playing. Some of my production on the first two EPs were (was?)...

    Starting Final Mixes Song 10 - For My

    I know it's out of order, but I was having such fun with this yesterday, I had to post it up. Double bass lines. Simple Chorus. Got a great lead tone out of my Vox/LP. (the rhythm is an Orange Sim). I want the vocals to be a bit loose, but if there are obvious problems, let me know. This is not...

    Starting Final Mixes Song 6 - For My

    Okay, serious struggle (and quite a bit of fun, actually) for me to get this many vocal tracks to play nice. We all know my struggles with my voice...lots of retracking and punch-ins, pitch adjuster on every track, the lot. Little play with a wah in the bridge just to see what I could do with...

    Starting FInal Mixes: Song 4 - Hello

    Okay, James. Here's the one you keep trying to critique. Go at it, bud! https://soundcloud.com/broken_h/hello-fm ...and all the rest of you, too (if you don't mind)!

    Starting Final Mixes: Song 3 - Release

    Here we go again. Getting lots of helpful feedback, so I don't see any reason to stop now. Tell me what's wrong. Tell me what you like. :) https://soundcloud.com/broken_h/release-fm1 Okay. Added some new growly guitars (which I hear need a bit of tweaking in the 2nd verse), a bit of echo to...

    Starting Final Mixes: Song 2 - Ignite Me

    Okay, here's the second. Got rid of the previous (saving space on SC). Let's see what we think. I'm pretty happy. https://soundcloud.com/broken_h/ignite-me-fm
