Ha! Mute tracks, but don't add tracks. Not a bad rule of thumb.

I don't know anything about techno, but I like this one. I like how its breaks out of regularity periodically. That bit of maverick sound at 0.49 - you could have used that sound and that approach more, and if you explored that approach, the piece could have been longer. I really like what the...

I love when the snare comes in on the refrain and miss it during the verses. Good work.

Yeah, that was my main impression too - it's an important part obviously, but the highly percussive relentlessness of it gets overbearing. What's the fix? A simplified chording part during the verses so that it steps back and then bring the arpeggiation back when it's featured? Or just the mute...

The kick drew my attention too, but it wasn't the beater, it was the fact that, through earbuds, it's the single biggest sound in the mix. To my ears, rather than just anchor the tune, it dominates. Good jangly tune.

Really, really tasty. I love how this one moves. Are you keeping it as is, or will you repurpose it into a song with singing? What's the advantage of heavier strings on a lap steel?

It works. You could have more of it, even, throughout the song.

It made a big impression, apparently. 🤣

As if he can do that at this point... 🤣

On earbuds: * The kick is fine, I think. * Listened to 'Sheena is a Punk Rocker'. (It moves similarly to yours and the bass drives that one, too.) Your mix is darker. Your bass is more prominent. Your mix sounds better. But I understand why you're wondering about the bass. * The bass 'solo'...

The dbphoto page plays neither of the things I click on.

I like the tune and the delivery, but I'd experiment with putting more space around the vocal. Also, it's a bit disorienting when the vocal sort of disappears for a while the first time you sing 'like a pendulum'. Automation!

What a well-structured tune - builds, takes it down, brings it back up. All I heard this time was the tune. You got a winner here.

Really, really like this one. Sounds great. Another dB or more on the first guitar in the break would be nice. That guitar is the voice of cool.

I like the first one better - it sounds fuller and more present. The kick: It's very prominent, but you like prominent, so it fits your style. It fits the tune. 'Piano rock'. I like this tune.

Bring the vocal up and de-boom the bass (turn it down?). The music's American, but the melody's British, somehow. You've square pegged a round hole - well done! Your music is one of the reasons I come here.

Fun song with performance issues, recording issues, and mixing issues. I like the big sound you got on the guitar - that's a goodness. Looking at things to improve, I'm thinking that one of the first things to improve is mixing: vocal level and intelligibility. You need to make the quietest...

I wrote, recorded and published five new songs a month for over a year (I had a lot of time on my hands, and it was good to be away from my day job), and then I decided to slow down and do about a song a month for a while. Unlike yourself, I abandoned production standards in favor of sheer...

Most people want the duck soup rather than 'the soup of the soup of the soup of the duck'. Not just tastier, not just more nutritious, but more real!
