lol nola is like fat_fleet in that you can barely get a listen in before they've deleted the damn recording.

Nah, I played drums on most of my recordings from the last few years (up through the Godzilla soundtrack thing), but I don't have a kit now, and everything now involves loops, drum machines and/or hand percussion. For these tracks, I simply googled, "slow funk drum loops" and went from...

I know that first Sabbath album like the back of my hand and those drums hit pretty hard man, like on the wizard...anyway, the performances are really good, and I like what you're doing, but I still think you could squeeze a little more oomph out of those drums with some trickery, bad room and...

Thanks. Yes, I had last week off, a bunch of song titles and nothing to do, so I gave myself one day to create, track and mix each song, then by the weekend, I just spent some time pruning stuff, making some adjustments, and trying to "master" them all to be in the same tonal and volume ballpark.

Shit man, mix 4 is sooo much better than where you started. It really is starting to sound a little more open but more focused at the same time. I didn't read through all of the comments, but I've been listening to your various mixes the last few days, and wanted to let you know that whatever...

Wow. Really great job singing this one! I haven't heard this tune in ages. I like the backing as well. Something a bit stuttered about the rhythm, like the drums are just rushing a bit or the other instruments are lagging behind just a touch. I dunno though, it's pretty good. I mean, the whole...

Hi, It's a really good composition in an early '60's vein for sure. I don't think the mix is doing it justice at all though... That snare sound is truly awful imo. Sorry, but it sounds almost like another cymbal (as VHS mentioned), it's so thin and harsh. It's really pretty extreme actually...

Well, you don't hear that every day. That was pretty cool man. I really liked the darker guitar tones on this. Tons of energy in the jam following the first break. Ending is pleasantly unnerving. It felt like the drums were the sonic weak link here. I liked the almost trashy cymbal sounds, but...

Cheers rob. I hope you get your stuff back up and running real soon. KC turned me on to mogwai just a couple of weeks ago in a clinic comment...cool stuff! Yeah, definitely check this stuff out sometime, and let me know what you think. They're mostly pretty short tracks, so not a huge...

Thank you for taking the time Pinky. It's good to get feedback. I appreciate it, and your thoughts more or less mirror my own. Track 4 is just too vanilla or something. I should have gone further with whatever I was doing there or left that out. Despite being fairly short, most tracks could...

Yeah, that's interesting, but I don't think I see it that way at all, and I know that at least some other people don't too. I mean, I'm not a band per se, just a guy. I'm also going to be obscure whether I sing or not on my tunes, so that's not really the issue. It just never would occur to...

Yup, I hear you. I could crank out music endlessly, but when it has to be an actually song, with lyrics and vocals, I tend to get bogged down. Plus, singing well is just way harder for some of us than playing various instruments. Most listeners seem to require some singing though, so I try. You...

Thanks for checking it out Robus. I wasn't going for a classic rock kind of thing, but I can totally hear what you're saying about those two tracks. I did like both of those bands as a youngster. In retrospect, I think I kind of messed up the track order as the first track is perhaps the...

Hi, I spent the last week coming up with a collection of instrumentals that I've posted on soundcloud as an "EP". I got really sick of trying to sing. lol I would have posted some of these in the clinic first for mix advice, but wanted to get it done and move on, plus I've had a lot of tunes...

Well, the bass certainly is deep. I holds together fairly well through my HD280's though, which do have pretty good bass reproduction imo. Vocals don't sound rough to me, but then I may have a different standard for roughness. lol The whole mix sounds a little too scooped to me though. Like...

Listening to mix 9 now. I think it's sounding better still? I like the lower guitar levels as the organ now is more prominent which I think suits it. The new bass line works pretty well. I thought it cut out too abruptly at 1:24? Or like you stopped on the wrong note or something? Not sure...

So, you consider this just a rough mix, eh? Well damn, it sounds pretty good as is to me. lol I haven't read other comments. I'm listening on HD280 phones. From the OP, it sounds like you're focusing mostly on vocals right now? Well, they sound really good, as do the instruments. I'm sorry, but...

I am not shocked that this style doesn't speak to you BS. :) Man, I can't imagine you trying to lay down some rootsy blues thang, as you are someone on here who definitely does have a specific style and sound and this is not it! lol I am however appreciative as always that you gave it a listen...

I don't use a sub (sorry), but I'd be happy to comment from a, listening through reasonably good quality headphones perspective if you'd like?

Cool. I'll take your word for it on the verb :). Just to piggyback on the whole drum thing... Those guys are right. I don't know your setup and I've never programmed drums before per se, but listening through the first couple of times, I didn't even notice the fills you added. I listened again...
