    Feedback on my Mix/Master... I'd like to finish the track up this week and I'm at my wit's end with it

    Nice .. I agree with @jamesperrett about narrowing the guitars a little. Maybe even another send putting some left guitar reverb to the right side and the same opposing reverb on the right guitar. Maybe thicken the vocals a little. Enjoyed the song .. If you aren't on a deadline , I'd get...

    Heart

    Suvibe , Fantastic slowed down section from 1:16 to 2:30. Great work on the guitars and low vox coming in there. I'd love to hear an instrumental from you sometime .. Enjoyed it .. mark

    Stained

    Powerful song. I loved the harmonys and the hard driving sections. You could always try layering a dry overdub under the main spots on the vox and guitar. I've learned not to bake in any FX (the hard way) but I'm still still ruining spots by prematurely bouncing to clip . Great Song ! mark

    Solaris song/mix/Video thoughts

    Now you're getting there ! Didn't hear the issue I had with the timing around 2:50. Maybe it worked with the vocals this time around. I do think your Vox needs to be boosted from the beginning up to the lead break. The high chorus section was Awesome ! Lots of cool stuff in this...

    The Parting Glass

    Awesome ! I really didn't think "anyone" could acieve the way they were played , even with a top notch virtual instrument and all the keyboard skills in the world. I wish like hell I could play a violin. Besides bagpipes it's the only instrument I have ever Totally given up on. Traded for a...

    The Parting Glass

    I Love the sparce mix. It gives all the instruments room to swell and decay more naturally. I thought the violins and viola were Very nice ! vst ?? Enjoyed it .. mark

    Solaris song/mix/Video thoughts

    Great bed to play in. Really looking forward to hear where this goes.. I believe this a good one for some real energetic vocals. Not sure about the strange timing from 2:50 to 3:04. ?? Nice guitar work . Enjoyed it .. mark

    La Comparsa

    Vanhaye , Very Smoooth. Great job on the guitar tones and especially with the whammy bar candy. I'm in the middle of a collaboration with a guy in Canada. One of the tracks he sent was labled Yamaki acoustic. I guess I'm going to have to look it up. Great production ! Enjoyed it . mark

    Random tuning stuff

    I agree with tuning up to reach the proper pitch , but it doesn't "always" work that well. I've noticed that when I do tune down to a note , I still put a little up presseure on the key without bringing the pitch up any. My biggest problem is the high E strings have worn into the bridge a little...

    Old Strings New Strings

    I've found that if I have a dull sounding string or strings on a guitar (mainly acoustic) , I just back it off untill it flops. I let it set that way for a minute , then tune it back up. Amazing how much zing it brings back. I usually do run a cloth down it while it's loose. Doesn't seem to help...

    Break Up

    Love the backing tracks in this ! Great fidelity. Listening on somewhat hyped headphones mix sounds good. I believe backing off the vocals some and removing some of the auto tune would improve the overall song. The guitars sound great. Enjoyed it .. mark

    Triad (acoustic instrumental)

    I had to look up mark tree as well .. I thought it was a play on words with my name that went over my head. Actually it probably was a brilliant play on words. :giggle:

    Triad (acoustic instrumental)

    @rob aylestone ,Thanks Rob I appreciate you weighing in. @TalismanRich , Yes that was the song. I didn't put it on Soundclick and removed it from Soundcloud. (running out of room on my free accounts) It's probably stored away somewhere on a flash drive. I may just redo it at some point , I...

    Deja Vu anyone? - Female Alternative Rock

    Enjoyed the song and mix ! I thought she needed a little more "air" on her voice , but it seemed to get better as the song progressed. I imagine it's setting somwhere around -12 luffs. I think it would be a little cleaner a couple of DBs quiter. The auto tune sounded fine to me during the mix ...

    Triad (acoustic instrumental)

    @TalismanRich , sorry about that.. I used to do Triad as well doing solo gigs. Great song ! I just named this one "triad" because of using guitar mandolin and cello as the 3 main instruments. I rember once starting to post a CSN song , but you posted the same song on the same day. I don't...

    Triad (acoustic instrumental)

    Thanks guys ! @JAPOV , Funk is probably my favourite genre to actually play. I don't listen to a lot of it , but seem to throw some in even when I'm not intending to. @packrobottom , I appreacite that 3d comment. I used to get wide mixes but they weren't immersive at all. The little...

    From The Start (Laufey cover) - mix feedback

    Yes , that was the song. I went back and listened again. There seems to be some nice improvement in the lastest mix. I failed to mention in my first responce how good the guitar playing was , and it sounded even better this time around. I love playing Maj 7th type chord patterns. Don't know how...

    Triad (acoustic instrumental)

    I haven't played mandolin or cello for a while. I thought I'd do an instrumentle while in between vocal songs. All crits , suggestions for improvement are welcomed. -mild remix- Thank You .. mark https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=14708495

    Bad Moon Rising -Final Mix-

    @Serendipity Records , @Ujn Hunter Thanks for the listen and comments ! @Papanate , Thanks .. I used to play in a CSN cover trio. I'll for sure take that as a compliment. Stephen Stills had a pretty big influence on my early playing. I guess some of it stuck. @Manslick I thought of it as pretty...
