    Beg & Heal (mastered)

    Sounds Great to me ! Congrats on getting some airplay. Did you send them a completely un-compressed file or had you already done some pre-mastering ? mark

    A midi keyboard, a few Kontakt instruments and a vocal sample...

    I once posted a song collaboration on SoundCloud that used the vox from one of those sample packs. Samples were free to use on commercial projects. Someone else used the same sample on a Youtube song video. I got threatened and my song was pulled down for plagiarism. I cleared it up with them...

    A flat Funk Boogie -Final instrumental mix-

    Hello , here's a short instrumental I've just finished up. I'ts probably going to get some vox later. If you hear something that needs some work , don't be shy. Thanks for the listen .. mark https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=14734816

    Nope , I didn't think it sucked at all ! I liked it and I thought the vox track fit well. I was just impressed by the clarity of the intro. I got interrupted and didn't finish my reply. Enjoyed it .. mark

    Backwards Guitar

    Another cool thing to do is record a "dry" guitar/drum etc.. part. Reverse the clip / Add a pretty massive reverb. Bounce this to a new track. Reverse the new track. Now you have a normally played track with the reverb reversed. Pretty cool effect in the right situation. Cakewalk actually has a...

    Idea don't know if it's good or needs to be tossed

    I like the drive and groove but I thought the left side "asteroids" shots were annoying. (to me).. I think it would be great with a vocal track grounding it .. mark

    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:
