    My first post! A Jazzy toon.

    Sorry, but in my earlier post, I meant to type Barry ADAMSON, not Barry Adams. For some reason, my fingers didn't type the ON. Oops. By the way... I edited that post. :-)

    Rum + Recording studio = weird mix?

    Okay, I'm barely awake at this point, but I'm giving a listen. Like the groove. Another song tonight that reminds me of songs I've recorded in the past. Weird. Snare's a bit loud and bright. Guitars are also a bit bright for me. Vox are nice, if repetitive. Odd... you've gotten kudos for the...

    my 2nd post! "Get Me Out" - my attempt at distorted guitar

    Nice song. WAY too treble-y. Seriously. I hear almost nothing but harsh high-end sound stabbing my inner ear. The vocals need some serious work, dude. No offense. Good voice, but majorly out of tune in numerous places. Add a bit of verb or delay -- and definitely some compression -- and try not...

    Recorded long ago and far away

    Unfortunately, my first impression is HUGE hiss, but that's a niggle. My second impression, however, is a dark, Louisiana night with a big ol' batch of crawdads, a sweaty t-shirt, a six-pack of Dixie Blackened Voodoo Lager, and a scantily clad, slightly-skanky-in-a-good-way brunette in my lap...

    Piltdown Man here... RAW, RAW, RAW! Early feedback?

    Thanks, everyone for your feedback. I don't usually post half-finished songs here, but I wanted to get some input into the mic situation. Hopefully, I'll get used to the idiosyncracies of this mic and, ultimately, enhance the quality of my vocal tracks. Right now I'm floundering a bit. It is...

    Piltdown Man here... RAW, RAW, RAW! Early feedback?

    LOL! You crack me up slooce. "Your mic sucks! Take it back!... I mean, no, it sounds great. I've got one I'll sell you cheap!" What didn't you like about yours? 'Cause I'm having some issues with mine. This is the best mic I've ever owned, which isn't saying much, considering I'be been using...

    Piltdown Man here... RAW, RAW, RAW! Early feedback?

    I bought a new mic a few days ago (B-2 Pro, dual diaphragm condenser), so I'm trying to decide if I like it. It seems to have some "sizzle" at the top end, but it has much more presence and body than my old piece of junk. So let me know how the vocals sound, mic-wise. I just started this song...

    My first post! A Jazzy toon.

    I'm sorry, I have to reply again. Do you ever listen to Barry Adamson? He's got a bit of the jazz in him, but it's edgy and contemporary. He writes music that sounds like a movie soundtrack, IMO. If you've never listened, try a bit. One of the best male voices in music, if you ask me. And very...

    My first post! A Jazzy toon.

    Holy shit! Nice first post! Great drums. I am weeping over these drums. Do you know how bad I want to get that drum sound? No you don't. You have no earthly idea. Ah! The piano just shot me through the heart with love! God, I'm eating this up. I don't usually gush. Ask anyone here, but this...

    Metal song.

    Funny, this reminds me SO much of the stuff I recorded when I first started years ago -- which is a good thing. I'll have to dig out my Pantera CDs and reminisce. The drum issue: I'm not quite as down on the drum sound as some. You have some really nice hi-hat work in there and nice drum work...

    Rainy Day = New Tune

    I haven't read the previous posts thoroughly, so I'm sorry if I reiterate previous posts. Vocals are a bit wet for my tastes. Your voice reminds me of the guy from Afghan Whigs with a bit of Sloan thrown in. It's nice. Might try to tighten up the guitars and bass a bit. They're barely off...

    re-track and re-mix

    I'm not into Christian rock, but I'll give it a whirl. The mix is real nice, other than the 'verb issue that's already been mentioned. Everything's very well balanced. I'm sorry, but that organ has to go. No offense, but it makes you sound like one of those cobbled-together bands that play at...

    rate the vocals please

    Okay, you've already been stroked to the max on this thread, so I'll just say the vocals are very nice. Unique. Good phrasing. The harmonies really add to it. Excellent job. As others have said, it makes me wonder why I bother when I listen to you and SLuiCe and several others. *sigh*

    new song , pretty heavy

    You many not hear much of this on this site, but that just makes you stand out, 'cause this is the s**t, my man. I go from Cyndi Lauper to the Stormtroopers of Death, and I appreciate it all. It's nice to hear some neo-death metal here. I'm diggin' it. I don't have much to add to the other...

    If No Man's An Island

    By the way, Participant, I just recorded a professional-sounding "ba-dum, crash" for your insanely funny one-liner. I'll send it to you. j/k Thanks for the chuckle!

    If No Man's An Island

    Goddamn! I feel pummeled by the fullness of this! I'd kill for this fat-ass sound! I'm hearing very few problems here. It's a bit "boomy" on my system, but maybe my sub's turned up too loud to compensate for my crappy music! :-) Nice solo. LOVE the off-beat hats! This f-ing rocks, my man...

    My first MP3 post - deflower me boys...

    First listen: Oooh, nice guitar sound and hella chops. I'll have to agree with the "little too much reverb" comments. But it's just a LITTLE too much. Excellent chord changes. Very original. Very few faults here, IMO. Starting to feel like it's repeating a bit. I'm looking for something new...

    1st Attempt w/ MR8

    First listen: Like the opening. Bit of a timing problem on the drums. Nice crescendo cymbal, if a bit loud. Actually, your left channel crash is a bit loud in spots, too. I lose the guitars because they're so "tinny" and low in the mix. Little too much verb on the solo guitar. You're GREAT...

    Feedback would be appreciated

    First listen: Like the beginning. Can't hear the snare very well when the drums kick in. Hi-Hat's a bit bright and prominent in the mix. This is cool! Nice alterna-pop feel. You got some serious issues with being in tune vocally. No offense, 'cause I have the same problem. But there's some...

    First tune on the new strat.Critique please.

    God, I LOVE this. I thought I was listening to Ween at first, but then I realized how much better it is! The guitars make my d**k hard! Very, very nice. I can find no fault with this, mix-wise or otherwise. I wish I could take guitar lessons from you. Thanks!
