Ok, ok...lol I didn't know eno was connected with them, but I just read that he was an original member in the mid '70's and it sounds like that's kind of where he got his start. Not sure that's really a high point on his resume though? They covered this song in 1981, and I doubt had eno been...

I like mix 2. You addressed the one big issue I had which was harshness when vocals and cymbals combined at certain frequencies. I don't think it left the mix sounding dull overall, just tamed that area a bit. The hand claps came down quite a bit, didn't they? I think the doubled lead probably...

Jesus. That sounds fucking killer as is. Seriously. My son was here and perked right up when it came on. He loved it. He and I both felt it would make awesome background music to a violent video game. While you may not find that flattering, that is high praise from a 14 yr. old boy. I would...

Ok, I just listened to mix 7, and toggled back to 6 a few times for reference. Drying things up a bit helped a lot imo. Even though I dug the guitar sounds in mix 6, it does sound tighter now, which in turn has that effect on the whole track. Vocal lost that piercing quality I think. Bass guitar...

Hey - I've listened to this one at least a few times this week and again now. It's hard to know what to say. I definitely like it. I think I like it a lot, but honestly at first I was thrown by the dryness...how understated everything was...how simple and bare. But, upon repeated listenings, I...

Thanks. I felt bad after writing that, as it's just a taste thing. I appreciate you trying to help! I guess I just wanted to be clear aesthetically that I'm heading in a completely different direction - for good or ill! lol I may still try singing it again, but I'm just so completely frustrated...

Yay! You liked the panning. Thank you. I do spend quite a bit of time thinking that stuff through and tweaking and was generally pleased with that aspect so I appreciate the acknowledgement there. I'm not sure if I'm being too critical or not critical enough, but the vocals are just killing me...

Ah, well good for her! She should stick with those instincts. I generally have a strong aversion to cheese, but in this case it seems so sincere and it mirrored my own feelings as I first heard it, so I am a sucker in that sense.

Cool. I didn't like create the drums from scratch or program them or anything though. I have this small library of drum tracks on CD specifically made for Roland VS recorders. They recorded real drums on 8 separate tracks and chopped them up into small sections (including fills) and you just...

Thanks DM60. I think you may be right about the hi mids being a bit harsh. I think that occurred during the crappy, random mastering I did as the original mix was somewhat warm sounding actually. I definitely can't sing this an octave higher. Not a chance! I have an unusually deep voice. I...

Man, that's pretty loud! I think the guitar sounds awesome myself. The singer is definitely hitting some higher notes that your processing is accentuating or maybe not taming like it should? I think Bubba is on to something as far as the amount of room/verb too. The whole thing should be more...

No, definitely not ruined. The differences are pretty subtle to my ear. I'm toggling back and forth now. I like whatever you did to the vocal. It seems more present without necessarily seeming much louder. I can't really tell on the bass. It almost seems like it lost a bit of the snarl I liked...

I like all of the arrangement decisions you made, particularly around 4:00 on where it just gets really chaotic. I can hear each guitar and chime and whatnot clearly myself. Drums are really high energy and just a lot of fun to listen to. For me, mix-wise, there was no buildup or conflict in...

Hey armistice. It's a pretty complex arrangement, but you certainly pull it off - as always. There's tremendous clarity and separation throughout. I don't know if you've made any changes yet based on prior comments, but I definitely think the lead vocal could use something carved out of the low...

I think this sounds really good. Great raw energy. Vocals are really good. Could be a bit louder, but it's fine with them pushed back a bit for the style. I don't know the original btw... Did you already fiddle with the bass based on MMM's comment? To me, the tone of the bass is awesome, and...

Thanks for the comments Bubba. I really appreciate you taking the time. I haven't heard that version, although I remember seeing it on youtube when searching for the original. Maybe I'll check it out when I get home tonight... Yeah, pitchy...I know...I thought I had avoided those issues with...

Hi folks, Been away for a while...I moved and have a new recording space that I'm still getting used to, particularly with regard to how the bass translates. This is the third track I've done in the new place, but I've struggled more with it than the first two, largely due to the vocals. This...

Yeah. That's cool. I really like your drums on this. The kit sounds good too. It's just that, subjectively the snare specifically sounds like it would be more at home in a more cerebral, jazzy and/or progressive rock kind of track if that makes any sense. This track doesn't seem like it has that...

Factory Joe! of course I remember this one...sounds great, Vocal harmonies are awesome and the break up on the lead vocal, while just a bit grating, is very lennon-esque. Lyrics are great...I actually remember most of them from before. Great songwriting and arrangement. Agreed on the snare...

That is pretty much how I heard it. Especially +1 on wanting more crack from the snare...it seems awfully dark for this? I think I may have felt the same about your last track which I think also had IBB drums? Maybe it's just a taste thing on my part. Performances are good all around although I...
