Fantastic!!! What a great song. Always interesting. Well thought through. This clearly took a lot of time and energy. Lots and lots of great bits. As far as the mix, only the vocals really need any help, as has been previously stated. Compression and/or leveling. Great job. Will come...

Great, guys, I love it!!! I dig the fade at the beginning--it's sort of one of those things that shouldn't really work, but it does. Is the rhythm guit your trick of putting the lowest 6 of a 7-string set on your 6-string? Sounds !$%@^@& huge!!!! Like if I turned it up any louder, I'd be...

Thanks for the encouraging comments and suggestions, everyone. It's very helpful to us. dolod44--about the guitar in the bridge, were you talking about the very, very quiet part in the middle, or the part just after when the song kicks back in again? The quiet section is going to be...

Well, actually, there's going to be a guitar solo played at that very spot sometime next week by a special guest (see above posts). It ain't done yet! We have something that could more or less pass for a classic synth, and Casey could do it, but I think we both want a guit solo there. I'm...

I listened to 'Break of Dawn' so far. Like I commented elsewhere, it reminds me of early Pink Floyd, Obscured by Clouds or Meddle era. Very cool. I hope you get a chance to re-convert these to get rid of those annoying digital artifacts that crept in. Good job. I'll try to listen to some...

Thanks Ed! I'll let Casey handle that. I don't know how to do mp3 conversions yet :o and I'm not very internet capable in general. Supercreep's been taking care of all that cause he's smart, but I should learn more. I did figure out how to put a link to the nowhereradio page in my sig...

Very good! This song is fun and tight and interesting throughout. Recording is excellent. I'm glad you put in the backround vox, though I didn't hear it without. From what I can tell on so-so computer monitors, the mix is pretty well nailed. I like a little brighter bass, a little more...

I'm listening to 'Break of Dawn' now. This song actually reminds me of early Pink Floyd, Obscured by Clouds or Meddle era. There are some kind of weird, abrupt noises all over the recording, however. I hope that was something that crept into the conversion or mixdown or something and that...

Thanks very much!! Can't deny the Beatles influence (or if I did, not with a straight face!) I'm not sure why, but "She's leaving Home" was never one of my favourites. But you're probably referring to the bridge of "Crazy from the Sunshine" where there is a back-up vocal counter-melody. We...

Just for the record: in addition to what Creep mentioned, the kick was very slightly compressed on the way in. And if I'm not mistaken, we also eq'd the snare, pulling out frequencies at around 240 or so as they were a bit over-accentuated as originally recorded. But I think that was...

Oh, baby!!! This is real good news. If this guy played a 2 note solo on this, it would still be 100 times better than anything Casey and I could do if we had the entire remainder of our lives to work on it. Straight out. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, I am excited about this. Awesome!!!!!

Thanks Naka. I guess there are a lot of 70's elements in this song, and I can't disagree with your points about that. But if you hear a little Chris Squire in there, you must be talking tone, because that dude flat out wails the tar out of me on the bass. I simply cannot hang with the likes...

It's a fun little track! Nice job. I'm not familiar with DFHS drums. Are they essentially drum samples that you 'performed' on a keyboard? As usual, it's the cymbals that sound the least real. I see what you mean about the drum fills. The one at :37 has got to go! The bass and guitar...

Tim--always glad to hear what you have to say about what you hear! It's kind of an odd song, but I have to say I'm pretty pleased with the direction it ultimately took. I didn't see it as being a busy bass song at first, but now. . . And I'm glad you enjoyed the guitar riff; compared with what...

Cool. Thanks Tim. I see it as quarter notes as well. I call it: bar of 3, 4, 3, 4, 3, 4, 3, 3. Then repeat. Good to know I was more or less on the right track. Casey's melody does seem to hide the fact that the meters change around a little. That's one thing I always liked about this song.

Thanks, everyone, for listening! I guess we just sound '70's' no matter what we do!!! I'm not going to fight it. We don't try to do it that way, but we also don't not try either. When I first started with these guitar parts, I was hoping that a lot of cool and interesting things would...

Thanks Tim. The Bass and Drum part you are talking about here is what I was talking about earlier concering the end fade--we really wanted to keep that part in. Variations of themes are the best!!! The intro was something that came out in the mixing phase of this song. Originally, it had all...

Super covered it. He's done all the leads so far. I seem to be more fascinated with nuts and bolts kind of guitar parts. Rhythm guits. That's the main music of any song, really--the chords. Leads are 'extras' sort of. Nice and great, but not essential after all, at least in my opinion. We...

Tim--thanks. You really have a very unique perspective; such a deep understanding and knowledge of music. Half the things we decide upon are things that just feel right, or seem to work, or sound okay. We don't even always know ourselves why or how it works. Like the Beatles, neither of us...

Thanks everyone!! Very much!!! You guys are all at least a little forgiving!! This was our first original song we recorded after we set up our 'for real' home recording room. Over a year ago now, methinks. The excitement and fun of just getting going with this stuff on our own crept into...
