I grew up in the 70's and albums like Bowie's Low or Foreigner's Head Games always stood out for me because of the filthy distortion on the snare. I just loved that explosive snare, each hit sounded like it was tearing the speakers apart. When I acquired some '1176 style' compressors I...

Would you like to purchase a copy? I could do you a club mix with even more room mic :D

The track is a little loose but pretty good. If you put a basic drum loop behind it and added a bass track & vocal I think you'd be surprised how much it would lift it

Using canned drums I would be tempted to bring in that tom fill just occasionally instead of all the way through. Otherwise nice job. Vocals, guitar chops, got it all

Yes totally agree. But that doesn't prevent me from seeking objective feedback from others who record at home. Otherwise what's the point of a site like homerecording.com?

Yeah I do like the crunchy distortion the compression adds but of course it pulls the room up as well. I'm used to the sound of the room, was just interested in how obvious it is to other folks

Cheers strat. The compression on the room mic gives the drums a nice crunch but it really does plaster that room sound everywhere

Thanks Spantini. That was my other question. I've gone back and pulled the bass down to a more acceptable level

Yeah I hear you. Seems like rooms aren't that popular any more :D

Yeah when I think of 80's disco it's more sequenced riffs that comes to mind, bit more distortion, thicker bass n drums. Like Sylvester

Mix is a little muddy. Lead break is fab. Maybe high pass some stuff, vocal maybe, rhythm guitar. But yeah killer solo. Nice job

Now there's three people at peace with their craft. Superb Tjarko lead break. Nice job

I listened to both on my monitors and on old hifi speakers and at the risk of outing my lack of critical listening skills, I can't tell any difference whatsoever

The wife pricked up her ears while I was playing this. 'Who's that? He sounds black'. :D The progression is a tad too traditional for me but you sure got some chops and the vocal is great.

Yeah I agree with Dobro on the last note. I have trouble recording sustained bass notes as they tend to descend into a muddy mushy buildup but you don't seem to have that issue here. The Squier sounds good. Fun to explore the creative possibilities of new kit

Very chill vibe as usual. Never heard of Cafe del Mar but it sounds like the kind of place I'd like to visit. Beautiful vocals, great use of delays & reverb. Good job

I mixed the room mic into this a bit more than usual. Does it make it sound... too roomy? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1g362zEjziwUXR040h3qgwrz-g7pRLOe9/view?usp=sharing It's also a bit of a longer jam than what I usually like, just couldn't carve any more out. Does it maintain interest...

Windows 11 update told me there wasn't enough space to install the s/w so I went to move some old crap off my laptop to my ssd backup, and that was full as well. So I went looking for stuff to remove and found this along the way. @Dogman put this all together in 2006 and I did drums...

That bass out front and centre is great. Love that growly tone. Nice full mix too. Vocals really set the scene. Put this on at a wedding, everyone's on their feet :D

I would slide the drums forward a couple of ms so they are more synced with the guitars. You could compress the vocal a lot harder, would add to the rockin feel. Nice job
