    EggShells song/mix feedback

    Very Creative ! I Really liked all the sudden changes in this. I got a Bowie feel in one section then moved on to someone else. The vocal treatment worked well for this song. I'm on the fence about the bass volume. I thought it could come down in a few spots but not Really sure where. Enjoyed...

    From The Start (Laufey cover) - mix feedback

    Cool song ! I agree with Everything that's been said. Honestly.. I would just have her re-sing the first half. Listening to the song that played afterwards , it's apparent that she has the chops to pull this one off a little nicer. Enjoyed it .. mark

    Time Machine

    Sounding Cool .. I like the psychedelic sounding guitars ! As far as suggestions , I think your kick and bass need some attention. The kick isn't cutting thru the mix and it's getting lost. The bass track just needs some cleaning up on timing. For some reason it sounds like it's leaning a...

    What does Cakewalk do that Reaper doesn't do and vice-versa?

    One thing Reaper Can do is open up Cakewalk project files. This is with the help of azslo3 who wrote a converter called ReaCWP. This is nice to know in case Cakewalk by Bandlab ever goes completely belly up. I only used Reaper for a short time before going back to Cakewalk. FWIW , I don't know...

    Little electric clicky noises recording DI bass

    From the wavforms posted , it seems to me like you don't even have to be playing it to get those clicks. I would just start recording and start doing things like wiggeling the jack , turning off and on anything in your room that could be introducing interfearence. Try different wall sockets...

    Time in a bottle (Jim Croce cover)

    I used to play out doing the solo singer songwriter stuff , and I was Very comfortable with it. I recently tried to record a song without going thru all of the click track and retakes like I do now (using Just a guitar and vocals) . It didn't take me long to scrap the entire project. It's...

    "Running Free", new tune i'm working on now

    The present mix sounds Great to me . I'm sure you will make further changes until you are completely satisfied. I thought you vocal harmony's were Fantastic ! I Really liked the energy , and in a few spots the "Yes" feel you got. Enjoyed it .. mark

    Bad Moon Rising -Final Mix-

    Hello , I got a remix done this morning. I'm sure (as always) that I'll make some minor changes. I won't bump the song back up if I do. I'm pretty satisfied with it now and going to get away from it for a while.. Thanks to All of you who listened and gave such helpful suggestions and comments...

    Bad Moon Rising -Final Mix-

    @TripleM , Thanks for the comments. I'm remixing now , It will probably be a few days before I'm finished. I've taken the harshness out of the cymbols , that helped a lot. I've thinned the bottom on the low instrument . It's actually an "electric piano" . I played with low notes for the effect...

    Bad Moon Rising -Final Mix-

    @HumanPlanet , I Really appreciate the listen and suggestion! I've actually snuck in a couple of remixes. I put some more highs and presence in the lead vox on the last mix (may need more). On a few listens the high hat was bothering me as well . I couldn't be sure if it was my headphone...

    Bad Moon Rising -Final Mix-

    Hello , I've been playing around with this for a while but just got it recorded. I've always thought of the song as a pretty "dark" but have only heard rockabilly versions. Anyway .. if you hear something that really needs fixing , I'm all in. I Just did this for fun and the satisfaction...

    The Road

    Questions about compressors

    Besides just taming peaks and raising levels , compression will glue tracks together better. An example would be 3 or 4 acoustic guitars each with compressors taming just their high peaks (without any gain increase). They will sound better , but still a little jumbled up and scattered. Send them...

    New song called......"The Reason"

    Very Nice ! Great vocals and harmonies. I agree the reverb could be backed off on the early verses. It didn't sound excessive to me once you got to the first chorus. The kick didn't bother me but , maybe a db of reduction would make it sound even better. Enjoyed the song .. mark
