It is a curious thing. I am hearing a lot of songs on forum that seem to just put off an 80s vibe. I really think that sometimes the drum samples give it that feeling cause after all the '80s probably had a lot of sample triggers on them drums. Anyway, I think the production is clean enough, but...

I really don't want to insult or offend, but I'm interested to see what this mix sounds like without the compression I think I'm hearing. I mean dude, this is f-ing brilliant.

It's the most difficult thing in the world to get a good mix. I think what you've done here is admirable.

I was challenged to write a song about a commercial product so I said what the heck and tried to do it while blasted on shrooms in all honesty, in a freezing basement. It's a rough demo, tracked to digital in Reaper audio, with the spring reverb run as an effects loop in a steinberg ur22. The...

Fired up the old analog systems for this one. I'm not really sure to work on it some more or just throw-away. Things that were hard was recording organ all the way through without being able to punch in. You can't punch in on this machine. But the signal flow should look something like this...

Very good actually. I hate to say this but things I like about Wings/McCartney are the things I like about this. I was looking for a melody that was somewhat original, this seems to flirt with originality a little more. Still a few chord progressions that are a little too tried and true for my...

Dude did you record those drums?

well it's a period piece. very digital sounding, clear, but even though I can hear the bass guitar it doesn't really move air that much. But I kinda like that obscured dry sound. It doesn't exactly sound "pro," but it has another quality to it that makes it a bit more personalized

well the song is a little schizophrenic in that it changes all over for no apparent rhyme or reason, but I don't think that's ever stopped me from liking a song. I dig the end where the guitar has a leslie/phaser on it, and a bass guitar underneath to fade out. It sounds dark and mysterious like...

Attempted something in digital, which was a 1976 Flamenco guitar in front of a behringer B1, into a Steingberg UR22. And the bass was plugged directly into the Steinberg. I routed the spring reverb on the guitar through the Steinberg's second channel. The sound is low-noise for sure, very...

I keep missing the mark here with the mix. I tried a version of it one day, sounded dull, then then the next day recorded it again and got a completely different sound but now I'm almost fatigued and almost can't begin to figure out what went wrong. my recording equipment here is a '70s teac...

I'm pretty sure the reason the bass sounds so queer is because it's recorded to outside track (track 1). I dunno who has much experience with vintage 1/2" tape, but track 1 and 8 can be roughed up badly because of the edges. This is a particularly BAD reel of '70s scotch 203 loaded with...

from chris harris to beezlebub, thanks for the commentary negative or positive. im certainly more concerned with negatives than positives these days. The drums are so hard to record in analog, super sensitive. One day they're fat sounding, next day they're thin but the things is I have to run...

Actually I went back and listened to some 90s stuff. The drum sound I had in mind for a song like yours here would be the one on alice in chains "no excuses". Drums used to sound like that a lot more. Drums on siamese dream were too "fat".....this song you wrote seems to call for a more angular...

yeah I just think that's what digital does to drums. I just listened to it again and the drums do have a "samply" artificial sound to them I just don't like. What kills me is if the drums were going for more of a natural "siamese dream" type sound the song would be a winner for me. But please...

First thoughts in my mind - sounds like it was influenced by early 90's proto-grunge rock, like the music you would have heard on the Waynes World sound-track, Aerosmith, Ugly Kid Joe type thing etc etc. Since you're talking about what you're talking about the vocals should be forced more no...

The vocals do sound much nicer on the second version. They are less engulfing to the mind, but let me say this. I felt like the drum sounds were cheesy and to some extent the keyboard sounds as well. I'd dig this song 30% more if the drums and keyboard were dropped, it would work awesome as a...

I felt the performance and recording were actually fine, both good enough to call it done to my average ears, but the song too repetitive to hold my interest, even on the radio side of things. I can understand repeating a part for stylistic value but F-A-A# progression has been heard many times...

I was clinching - preparing to hear something bright and shrill like so many home made jobs I hear around here (including my own). I was surprised to hear bass and warmth. Thank god, that's what we really need

Thanks calaban
