    New Song - Any Critiques Welcome (Reupload)

    Nola , Sorry about they long delay before responding. I kinda lost track of this one. My first listen I thought phrases like at 1:44 on the word "resolution" the lead vox should stay low and let the harmony pick up the real high note. After a few more listens it's not as obvious as I thought...

    New Song - Any Critiques Welcome (Reupload)

    I Love the laid back groove you got here. I really liked the lyrics and the way that they were presented. There were a few spots where I thought some harmony might work nicely , but it sounds very intimate as is. Enjoyed it .. mark

    As promised…my 13yo daughter’s newest song: Just My Imagination

    This is a Very Cool song and Well produced. She sure has a very mature sounding voice with Nice delevery. I think she will have a bright future in music if she sticks with it. I'll bet that these are some times that will stick in her memory forever. Enjoyed it .. mark

    For us poor guys out there recording and mixing

    Very Cool song ! You voice is perfect for this. I especially like she short chorus sections when all the vox comes in. As far as the guitar panning mentioned above , I've found I can get a more immersive and wider sounding mix by Not using hard panning. There is something about it that doesn't...

    Great Powerful song ! I have to agree with the above comments about the vox volume , although [n the last chorus the vocals seemed to come up better. ?? Enjoyed the guitat work with the breakdowns .. mark

    Dark Spanish Night -Remix 3-

    @TripleM , Yes the original link reflects the remix. That's one reason I like SoundClick , you can replace the original wav file without losing any other settings. @Papanate , I used an AT 3035 on the left guitar playing the main chord progression. The other 3 guitar tracks were DI using the...

    Dark Spanish Night -Remix 3-

    Hello , I've done some further tweeking and got some of the mud out of the guitars. @TripleM , I think the intro guitar(s) sound a little better now. @dobro , I've adjusted the bass some and completely droped it out when the vox starts. Good suggestion and it worked out Well. Thanx...

    Dark Spanish Night -Remix 3-

    @Odi and @dobro Thanx , both are Great suggestions. I'm not satisfied with the vox either and seems something is missing. Didn't have the impact in this mp3 version that it has in my room. I had already planned on trying another higher harmony and panning this morning. I'll edit the title as...

    Dark Spanish Night -Remix 3-

    I've done a remix now reflected in the link. I balanced the L/R channels a litttle better , added a few guitar parts and a short vocal section near the end. I tried cutting it down a little but it didn't work out. I'll probably tweek the vox a little but it's basically what I had in mind while...

    My Gun

    Cool ! Very Nice mix. The rerverbs and delay sounded Great , but It was really the Power of the guitar and the L/R signal that got my attention. Thick and wide without hearing a cheezy delay you sometimes get by just sliding one copy a little behind the other. The drums were also awesome ...

    Dark Spanish Night -Remix 3-

    Thanks Guy's for weighing in. I'm slowly doing some editing and minor tweeks , I've been pretty busy with other projects for a few days. @HumanPlanet , I like the castenet suggestion but having a hard time finding a decent sound. I've been banging on everything I can find. @Eric Malone , I'm...

    Dark Spanish Night -Remix 3-

    Thanx @Odi . Normally I would use a free plate reverb for a dark one like this , but .. I recently got Fab Filter ProR. With the exception of a legacy Cakewalk "tempo delay" plugin , ProR is on everything. The panning delay FX seemed to enhance all the reverbs. It's on several tracks including...

    Dark Spanish Night -Remix 3-

    Here's a new instrumental I'm trying to finish up. It's a pretty simple and mooody one , almost ambiant. I'm using a LaPatrie Hybred nylon guitar and cello. I think a short vocal part will be added later . Any comments or suggestions for improvement would be great. Thanks for the listen...

    Late Night

    Very Nice mix ! I especially liked the drums in this one and the cool guitar. I like the way you put more of an intro in than you normally do (before bringing the vocals in). Enjoyed it .. mark

    Breathe

    Cool ! You went the exactly the opposite way from what I was thinking. She took the lead and You followered Her instead of the other way around. The tedious editing worked out nicely. When you get bored.. try swapping them around. I like your voice .. ms

    Breathe

    I really didn't think you were out of tune. I thought some of her phrases could be adjusted so that she didn't shadow you exactly on every note. Such as singing the phrases on a single pitch instead of climbing up and down with you. More of a harmony type thing . ms

    Breathe

    Cool , I liked the dark feel of the song. It sounds like the synth worked well and followed you nicely. ? If I was mixing this song .. I would have her come in and out some (instead of on every phrase). Your voice alone would have more impact on a lot of it. I think I would probably use her on...
