    This Drowning Boy -Thoughts on mix

    Had lots of trouble covering the dynamics of this song with one mic - abandon my usual favourite ribbon for an SM - still a lot of automation into compression and then also the fader of the main vox bus - how did I do??? Thought appreciated This Drowning Boy Cheers Burt

    Butterflies

    Its been a while since I've been here so I appreciate my rep is low - but please some feedback on the mix would be great. SoundClick seems to have up the bass a bit with its compression - so not sure about that Butterflies Cheers Burt

    Into the Bleak - New song pls comment

    I usually post songs in the Song writing forum, but as I am now trying to get a decent sound I think it is time to post here for comments as well. It is a busy mix, but I think it still has clarity and seperation. With the Ac G and synth string providing the chordal basis the rest is hopefully...

This is a very old song with a new Chorus; I just couldn't let the little guitar pluck/riff go. This Ch actually says it plain to the previous metaphor heavy...

    All I Loved in You - Burt's version

    Firstly thanks Joseph for allowing me to work on you material. Once again being free from my own lyrics and stronger ideas about my music has been incredibly liberating. The Vs progression and melody I have had around for years and the lyric without too much re-scanning fell very nicely. My...

    First offering, cheers for your ears

    I have been a fairly active member of the Songwriting forum, but this is my first venture into this group. The reason is that after about 2 years I finally have the material together that I want to record and mix into an album. So here is the first mix 'Sing Autumn Leaves'. I am after general...

    Mastering Plug-ins

    Any suggestion for Mastering Plug-ins for Logic Express - or if you think I need them? I just read a SonS review of iZotope Ozone 4 sounds good, but I know 'jack'. That's about the top of my price limit as well. Either individual components (Dynamics, Imaging, EQ, Reverb, Loudness?) or as a...

    Sing Autumn Leaves - for your consideration

    Sing Autumn Leaves is an old song that I always knew suffered from a poor arrangement. I am rounding on a old few songs as I finally get a sense of an albums worth of material I'd like to produce. I seem to be going through quiet a good patch at the moment and this came quite quickly. Big...

    Feb Challenge - Burts input

    Well after struggling for weeks it all happened in a rush. Some of the rhymes are a push I guess, but I think it meet the criteria and has continuity you can listen here (sorry Soundclick - allow pop-ups and you should be right) Very rough 'babies are asleep' headphone mix Just the other day...

    Jan Challenge - Burts reviews

    Up fiddler – My first Car I like this approach; it reminds me of the way that the tow truck Mater in ‘Cars’ moves. The beat and the riff (like changing gears with a worn clutch) are jumpy and agitated and the prosody suits the lyric beautifully. The first listen was very jarring, but by the...

    December Challenge - Burt's reviews

    This old House FrankieRage c.2009 This first verse is the strongest part of the song – structure, concise and evocative. The permanence of the pictures smile vs. the real women smiling for someone else is a get image. I do not have a problem with this, as a verse it is very cinematic...

    Barbs of Love

    This one is probably a bit too co-dependent for Gecko taste but it is what I have been working on when I really should have been working on Dec challenge. As always feedback is greatly appreciated Cheers Burt The Barbs of Love 1 Why’d you leave me with the living When you left me for dead...

    December Challenge - Burt

    Definitely 'First House/Flat' but probably an amalgam of many houses. Something about how it was 'built with love'. But immediately as I write I get an image of a house haunted by memories of the past Need a progression or a riff to give me direction. Surfing the whole Yule tide vibe with a 5...
