Thank you! I always struggle to fit vocals into my dense mixes. This time I compressed pretty hard going in through an empirical labs Mike-e channel strip (Nuke). I rolled off most of the low end (very little left under 300k), compressed hard again with a CLA-76, added some Decapitator...

Thank you! Check out the original by the Smith’s. So good, and you’ll realize how much I butchered it!

Awesome, thank you for the compliments and feedback. I was definitely torn on the new verse effect. I opted to let it be super wet in verb as a purposeful effect because it’s about a dream I had. I cut out the guitars in that section and left a distorted bass. I felt it was intelligible enough...

Sounds great! I definitely like the guitar solo centered, it’s the “vocals” while there’s no singing. If a guitar solo continues when the lead vocal starts up again the guitar can move to the side out of the way a bit. But there always needs to be something on center stage. Nicely done.

I’ve been wanting to make this cover for a while. It’s such a sad song and I wanted to put my own spin on it, so I added some of my own lyrics and rearranged a few things to lift it back up on the back half of the song. Added a little more balance to the sadness, if you will. Drums are a bit...

Nice work! She has a beautiful voice. I had to look up the original. I like this better than Taylor Swift’s version! I can hear what others are talking about with the stereo image of the main vocals. For example at about 2:57 the word “list” moves into my left ear. Not sure what would cause...

I’m a Floyd fan and really enjoyed this. A lot of work went into it! If I had only only suggestion it would be to put the main vocal more in the center. Leave the backup vocals panned wide. Too much off to the sides competing. Really fun listen, nice job!

Nice work! I personally like the solo at te end…and a great sounding solo too. You could split the difference and add some minimalistic vocals on top of the back half of the solo. But it’s great as is.

Cool. Which line 6 amp? I ask because I have an old 1x12 Flextone II combo that sounds great!

Thanks! My family was out of town for the week so I worked on music after work. Mon evening I wrote a song that was kind of dumb so I scrapped it. Tuesday evening I wrote one that was just OK. Wednesday I wrote this one and liked it so I finished it Thursday evening. Friday evening was clean the...

Hey, I like the samples! Sounds cool. Tell me about how you recorded the other parts.

Awesome, thanks! Yeah, guitar tones are so subjective. I usually don’t go so fizzy but I thought it kinda worked on this one.

Thanks for the analysis! I did a little pitch correction on the lead vocal in a few spots that stood out to me but trying to keep it transparent. No pitch correction on any of the backups. There is also a lead vocal double that has no pitch correction as well. I’ll go back and try to listen for...

I wrote this last night; played some drums for it and mixed it this evening. I had a fun time with this one. About imperfect people in imperfect relationships that are trying and aren’t that good at showing gratitude. Feedback is always appreciated, thanks! Stupid Ways I’d do anything at all...

Cool tune, no complaints about the mix here. Love the bass line. Cool lead guitar. Vocals sound great too. Nice work!

I use Waves Tune. I only put it on main vocals in parts that need some help. I’ll look at the plugin to see how to dial it back. I definitely want it to sound transparent. Thanks!

Thanks Supercreep (Lizard People?)! : )

Cool, so sounds like I need to brighten up the snare a bit, or maybe just cut a certain frequency? Also, I should probably punch in and fix a few of the drum parts that have some timing issues. I think my right shoulder could handle a few more short takes! And my voice is a little more...

Thanks, I really like that the lyrics would resonate with someone. They mean a lot to me. My grandparents passed away in the last couple years after spending a few in a “retirement home”. And that was after years of of my grandpa often saying “I don’t ever want to be a fly catcher in a nursing...

I increased the speaking part a little and tweaked a few things in the mix. Hopefully a little better…
