This is the first happy, love song I've written. Let me know what you think. Thanks! Title is: Have I Told You? Piltdown Man www.nowhereradio.com/piltdownman/singles

Not bad. Vocals need a little more depth. They seem kind of "laid on top of" the music. Add some reverb or delay. Overall, this is a really cool song. There's some really nice work on the instruments. They just don't seem to "gel" all that well. Try to get all the effects and EQs to somewhat...

Wow. I've never been called a genius before. I'm not sure what to do with that. :-) Thanks for the comments, Ghost. I hear you loud and clear on the guitar tone. I've struggled with that from day one. I have a cheap (and nearly 10-year-old) Zoom 2020 as my only effects board, and it's not great...

Hey, fellas and ladies. It's been a while since I've had time to record. This one's about 90%. Need a little polishing on the guitars, and the mix is prelim, but I wanted some feedback before I spent any more time on it. Thanks for listening! Educated Through Repeated Blows to the Head...

Fallen Sky--I like the guitar sound. Bass drum is a little boomy. Everything's relatively tight. Your drummer might want to calm down a bit, though. :-) I think he's trying to throw a little too much in there in spots. Hey, I know Slipknot and Tool can do it, but they're gods. Not that he's bad...

Great vox! Very southern rock. Bass is quite boomy on my system. I'd like to hear a TAD more of the snare. Really like the tambourine. This is a wonderful, relaxing song. The vox make it, in my opinion, but the whole thing is great. Other than the bass issue, it's mixed near perfectly for my...

Thanks!!! Wow. Great response! Thanks for all the posts. Very intersting. I especially appreciate the pix. That was an unexpected -- and very cool -- addition! I'm humbled to know that so many of you write such awesome music from enclaves similar to mine. I'm actually a bit disappointed. I was...

Another inimitable song from Studiovols. Very quirky. I like it. Short but sweet. Nice vox. Good mix, IMO. Not quite sure what to do with it. It just makes me scratch my head... :-) That's good though. There's not enough head scratching in the world these days. Piltdown Man

It's a little bright and just a bit too loose in a spot or two. Nice vox on the singer. Keep her. :-) Some vocal harmonies would add SO much though, maybe in place of the lead guit in a few spots. Back off the treble on the guitars and drums, add some harmonies and you've got a really good song...

When I listen to this, I imagine Neil Young and Willie Nelson having a baby that grows up and srites a very catchy blues tune. But that's not what you wanted to know, is it? Honestly, I find parts of each kit that I like better than the other. I'm not a fan of the new bass drum. It seems a...

I just noticed a "weak bass" comment above my post. Funny. I almost commented that the bass was a bit strong. It's quite pronounced on my Klipsch 2.1 computer speakers. Hmm... It's so tough to figure out who's right when there's such a wide range of listening environments here. Don't you love...

Great sound! Nice vox. I don't hear any mix problems really. A few nitpicks on the rimshot/snare level (slightly hot) and the bass is barely, barely a bit muddy for me. This is very fun to listen to. I so dig the chorus, it's sick. :-) Nice touch with the bongos. The whole song's got sort of...

Sorry if this is a bit off-topic, but I'm wondering: how many of you are REALLY recording in bedrooms, living rooms, home offices, etc. I record every song I write in a home office on my home computer with Cubase 5, a couple of guitars, an Fxpansion DR-008 drum machine, a 10+ year old ZOOM 2020...

Very catchy. These are the aural interests I've been extolling on my posts today. Unexpected breaks. Unique chord progressions. Nice verse/bridge/chorus transitions. Clean, professional sound. WICKED guitar break! I ate that shit up! This is a definite keeper. I have to agree that the vocals...

Long thread, so I'm just gonna skip the replies and listen. Great vox and piano. Nice drum sound. Good mix. Hell, you can't ask for much more out of a song than this. Listening to all these is giving me the itch to write something, but I'm waiting for my Cubase SX 2 upgrade. VST 5 is flaking...

Read the rave reviews. Let's give it a listen... I'm not into rap, but I'm open to anything on this site. Wow. Clean. Everything's so clean. It's amazing how much better that can make a song... how much more inviting it is. Love the strings, dude. Killer. I'd rather hear this than that Missy...

Hmmm... this one has me a bit confused. Okay, here comes the song. If it were me, I'd chop that intro at least in half. I was beginning to wonder if that was the whole song. Not sure how long you've been playing, but this reminds me a lot of my first two dozen or so songs, lo so many years...

Great playing. Have to agree that it sounds a bit muddy, and I'm getting a little distortion here and there. Brighten it up a bit and back off the faders a tad. :-) Some very quiet ocean waves in the background would sound cool... or is that too much. Maybe it is. Keyboard is one of the few...

Clever lyrics. I like clever lyrics. Makes me want to break out my Ween CDs. I love the "eclectic-ness" of your stuff. Good, light-hearted, fun song. Very refreshing. No real complaints with the mix. I listened to your other stuff. Very cool. Nice for those particular "moods." Piltdown Man

Whew, it's getting nasty in here. Nice intro. Acoustic's a little bright for my tastes, but tastes are just tastes, I suppose. I'd have to put this closer to Country than '80s rock. :-) Then again, to me, '80s rock is Motley Crue, The Fixx and Van Halen. It's a nice song, though it sounds...
