Neat song! Here are some suggestions: I like the heavier guitar that comes in around 2:33, but I think it would be better with a crunchier sound. MORE GAIN!!! BTW, I think the sound on the Solo is very nice. The drums seem appropriate for the style, but something about the ride cymbal early...

I do like Rush, and I'm flattered (probably undeservedly) by the Lifeson comparison! :D It's funny, but this one really started out when my buddy and I were jamming along with the Cake song "Short Skirt and a Long Jacket." It's an odd little song, but a fun jam. Yeah, we have to find a bass...

Thanks for listening. Much appreciated. It's funny, I hadn't thought of it as a "funk" song, but now that you mention it it does have a funk flavor.

Here's a new project my friend and I started this past weekend. I've spent the past couple days tweaking it, and I think it's the best thing I've posted here yet -- but don't let that stop you from ripping on it! Let me know what you think! http://xalien.com/tunes/Giant.mp3

Cool Party Tune I actually really like this style of music, so I was hooked in quickly. I thought the vocals were strong, and the rhythm guitar and bass were pretty tight. However, as mentioned elsewhere, the drums were too boring. A few drum fills would really pick things up and add even...

I really didn't think the guitar sound was bad at all. It's a little "dirty", but sometimes that's just what you want. I thought it made a nice contrast with the "clean" sound for the rest of the song.

Nice song. I think the lead guitar solo is mixed too low. It gets lost in the mix. I'd turn it up a bit. my 2c.

Very Nice After the first couple measures I thought it was going to be a "muzak" cover but it grows on you. Very nice sounds on the guitars.

Evil The vocals are actually quite cool. I especially like the "evil whispers" in the background. I agree with Sabbath, the guitar sound is too thin, but it's not just the guitar. The whole song lacks a low-end. Any bass is just lost in the mix, and some good base would add to the evil vibe...

Great drum sound, but what's up with the funny sound effects 1/4 way through? :-) Did I mention I like the drum sound?

Nice work. This tune shows promise. Here are some suggestions. The chorus started to grow on me by the end, but by putting it right at the begining it got "in my face." Right off I wasn't sure I'd like the song. I think you'd do better by starting with a verse and then moving into the...

It sounds like you're trying to do similar things to what I'm doing. If you want to spend < $500 here's what I'd suggest. If you don't want to go for a high-end sound card (and if you only have $500 then you probably can't) then you'll need a mixer. Start small with a Behringer 802A. It'll...

And the story has a happy ending!!! Well, I was "this close" to giving up in desperation. I'd tried everything I could think of. I'd sent email to tech support at Johnson and got no reply and I'd tried every tick in the FAQ. So, this morning I got on the phone, called Utah (the home of...

Sounds awesome. Nice work.

Mixmkr, thanks for listening. Here's is some of the kind of feeback I'm hoping to get: 1. What do folks think about the guitar tones? 2. There are two guitars there doing similar things. Does it work, or is it mushy? 3. How are the relative levels on the guitars and drums? 4. Any comments...

No, I hadn't tried the factory reset. That seemed like a great idea. However, I just tried it and no dice. The firmware is so trashed that I can't get it to do the reset proceedure. Drat. I'm afraid this puppy may have to go back to the store. :-(

Cool tune. I like it.

I had one of my buddies over last weekend for a little jam session. After an hour of noodling around we found a cool groove and laid down some tracks. A few beers and the rest of the day later we had a cool little tune: http://www.xalien.com/tunes/TwistOfTheWrist.mp3 I could still use work...

Fun. I really like the pan on the female 666 thing. :-) -Steve

Yeah, I updated to the newest J-Edit/J-Updater software (2.0). I even updated the drivers for my soundcard (just in case there was some odd thing with the MIDI connection). Still no luck. Arg. I was really starting to like this thing. Anyone know how I can test if my MIDI connection is...
