    If you could work with a big-time producer, who would it be and why?

    I have no doubt big-time producers know more than I do about making recordings, but I would still be uptight if I had to work with one. I was produced small-time for demos a few times and I hated the results. It ain't ever going to happen so it's a moot point really, but I think different...

    Blow-Up Doll - A Greg_L original stupid love song

    Fucking awesome. You consistently get a balanced, clear mix out of your setup, you are the master of your domain. I love this sound and I laughed loud several times, particularly on the "Blow, wo-oo-wo" parts in the chorus, classic.

    Laramie

    Just listened, on phones, sounded better each time, I listened thrice. I thought I heard Piano also, and later even chimes, but it was the overtones from the Mando and elec guitars at the end. Funny how that happens sometimes. It's a very good song and I didn't hear the Cats thing until it was...

    Why is so unequable the recorded guitar strip?

    No, no, no, except, you know, not that there's anything wrong with that . . .

    Why is so unequable the recorded guitar strip?

    At least he doesn't have cats, what happened to you guys this week?

    Very obscure Alice Cooper cover.....

    That was great! Perfect space for your excellent vocal, and I love the tight 70s drum sound, which you nailed. I lost the piano in some places, mostly the lower freqs, but even the higher notes seemed a little low and your playing sounded very good on that part. With the modern bands emulating...

    Micing vs miking

    mic. It takes .2 seconds to write a 'c', while the bastard letter 'k' takes over .6 seconds. This has saved me over 5 hours so far and helped me to avoid karpal tunnel syndrome. It looks cooler too. I may just noc k's out altogether as they are rarely needed.

    What's the best chord?

    I revealed the best chord in my answer to the best note fiasco, not repeating myself, I was feeling generous that day and nevermore.

    Can lyrics influence behaviour ?

    For example, my early exposure to "My Ding-A-Ling" leading to my self amusement. Damn you Chuck Berry!

    Surrender - Greg's cheap cover of a Cheap Trick song

    Tight!Love your take on this. Sweet dripping molten tone. You really do a great job finding a place for everything. I'm missing the kick a little, how do you EQ it? I enjoyed the description of your lead guitar process too. You're a drummer first, right? I'm a guitar player and know notes...

    The Creature From The Haunted Lake

    I had a Fostex X-15, back then I was trying hard to get good quality sound on it and the degradation with each bounce was frustrating. Of coursed, before that, the closest I got to "multitrack" was recording on a cassette, play back while recording on another cassette, so I was thrilled with the...

    don't come here no more

    That's a kickass sound, I agree with many suggestions here but I enjoyed this warts and all. I did keep waiting for something to kick me in the teeth in the chorus, sort of like a threat made by the verse but not carried out. Still, you could probably pan everything left and EQ it backwards and...

    Old London Road

    The recording sounds crisp. I came in after your last mix, but it definitely improved from the first 2. I really like what you did with the vocals, much better though seems a little heavy in the left channel in the chorus. I also felt the drums were a little low, and the lead guitars too. It's a...

    The Creature From The Haunted Lake

    Great sound and nice jam! I put some old X-15 tracks on Soundcloud and everyone raved at the retro sound, but I recall being frustrated by it back then. The water didn't sound lake-ish though, maybe Creature from the Haunted Bathtub?

    Which note do you like the best?

    E. E is the best note. Not my opinion, fact. I've been to school so I should know, we studied notes and E was discovered to be the best note by Euclid (who changed his name from Fuclid because of his discovery). Besides this THE most BADASS chord is the 7th fret bar-A E chord with the open...

    another world

    Good song, I like it a lot. My *opinions* and not to drive you nuts but I loved the triplets in the beginning too. I like all of the parts and think they do work and the busy-ness can be fixed when you mix. I can hear this with those guitar parts playing their roles, panned in stereo with some...

    Been a while

    Cool track, I really like the full bodied arps. I could have used more thud n the kicks but listening on phones so probably not. It has lots of action which I prefer in this genre, great job! And, welcome to Philly when you get here. You'll probably like it more than you think, it's an...

    Microaggression (A real swinger, kids!)

    Your song grew on me very quickly, which is always fun. I really like the sounds and the distortion. I usually try to find something to critique about the mix here, but though it's not textbook I like what you did. It feels 2-dimensional in the beginning and adds depth in the second verse and...

    Powerful hooks that overshadow the song

    You misunderstood me, I meant that I tried following steps and rules outlined in a book I bought on songwriting, I didn't like the results of that approach. What the stars did worked, IMO, because they were stars already, but I didn't like it. Of course, there are many songs I don't like that...
