    Today Is Gonna Be My Day

    I think the song is great for the most part, the simplicity of the music highlights a good melody. The blade cuts both ways though, with such a bare background the vocals are really highlighted and to be honest the vocals are pretty shaky. The held notes drift off pitch and when you string a few...

    MIDI MADNESS for sure......

    Hey Wyked, I'm not a keyboardist but looking at that Nekter you may be out of luck, the usb handles both the power and the midi transfer, so it would be fine for soft synths but i don't think you can control the roland. I recently bought a arturia controller and even though it had the midi out i...

    So Real

    Thanks all for listening and the excellent comments! I agree with all the criticisms, literally the last thing i did to the mix was brighten up the drums and distort them as a whole... famous beagle, the lyrics...yes i know what you mean, i steered him in that direction early in the process...

    New Guitar Day

    Nice! I don't even want to say how many guitars i have but the one i reach for and keep around most often is my artcore, the neck is flat and wide, really the optimal neck for my playing, the action is perfect and the tone is truly inspiring, it's even nice to play ampless. Proaudiostar put a...

    Where do I begin?

    Besides the obvious answer to get the minimum gear you need (daw software, mic, headphones, interface) I would suggest learning to use the clicktrack of whatever software you use so at least you have the starting point of tempo for your song, if the song changes tempo learn to change the tempo...

    Metal mix practice

    Hey i think you made a good mix, im not used to the genre, but yeah there were times the vocals were getting on my nerves even more than they were designed to i think. I only noticed the high hats when it broke down, the kick really carried the day, adding definition to the guitars and bass. I...

    Pop / Rock Mix ....

    Nice acoustic sounds! bright and clearly played. Very strong singing, you have both a good voice and good pitch imo. I found the reverb a bit distracting, it sounded great before the drums came in, but gave the vocals a detached feel with the band sound. I would have automated the reverb and...

    Synth stuff

    NIce! "turn the corner" Really nice groove and nice sounds, the sax sound is pretty realistic. My only thought as the tune went on was it would have been nice to hear a solo section with a different sound, like a jazzy guitar solo..the twinkling delay sounds were really nice Enigma-yeah for...

    Manslick - She's a dream

    I like the song, nice melody. As far as the mix it sounds like drums guitar and vocals? If there's a bass it needs to come up ALOT. It's nice to hear real drums and i think you captured them well. Seems like alot can still be done arrangement wise to enhance the melody, it's so bare bones...

    "Hear the Call", updated single (original rock)

    Excellent playing, interesting song! I've heard many of your mixes in the past so i know to expect high quality. The only observations i can add is that i was wanting more guitar and the overall level seems a bit low considering the material, i had to crank it up a good bit past my normal...

    Locked down again

    Hey Bulls Hit-I think the mix sounds good, though i miss the in your face slamming drums i remember you for. The guitars seem to be driving this one more. I like the guitar tones and the separation between instruments you have. The one part that bothers me is that synth bass part that happens in...

    So Real

    Here's a weird little song a singer friend and I collaborated on. Just made this mix today, it would be nice to get some fresh clinic ears as i've made so many mixes of this song i've lost perspective. Using studio one, addictive drums, guitars recorded with an hx stomp and bass using a sans amp...

    Instrumental Guitar Track

    Yeah im with FB. The playing is excellent and i like the tone, not too cheese. There's some noise coming through your guitar chain which could probably be eliminated by a gate, even after the fact in whatever daw you use. When you stop playing that noise really becomes noticeable. The drums...

    New take on folk song "Annable Lee"

    Great voice i like the verb, really cool when a lone voice can carry a tune and take the listener along. Nice touch with the wind and chimes, i've done that same thing! All the playing is super tight and well recorded. I think the energy dropped during the instrumental bridge, sounded like a...

    reverb

    Great song! The performance and recording are excellent also. I don't really notice any reverb, whatever you've done seems subtle enough to still sound natural. I thought the stringed instruments could use a bit more sparkle in the high end, but i think the mix you have would sound good...

    Buckethead Cover

    A lady friend of mine sent me the song by buckethead "sketches of Spain" and said "record this for me". Of course i accepted the challenge! Luckily it was one of the few buckethead songs i have the skills to play. I took a long time with this, i had it recorded then got a new rode nt2 and...

    Surf Rock Song - All Comments Welcome

    Sounds great to me, guitar might be a tad upfront or maybe everything else should come up a bit? Drums sound nice and cohesive, maybe a bit of verb to match the guitar? Bass is kind of vanilla sounding and a bit buried. I really like the breakdown when the second guitar comes in, really nice way...

    Recording bass

    I've been very happy with my sans amp bass driver. Tech 21 SansAmp Bass Driver DI V2 | Sweetwater Some grit/distortion on the bass is what i've found to make the bass really define and stand out.

    Album Drop: Who We Are "Every Now and When"

    Song 1 Interesting groove, i like the introduction of elements, really makes the intro interesting. Nice guitar work, i like the big muffy type sound. Nice introduction of vocal parts in the second part of the song. I like the breakdown for an old school solo. Mix sounds very good to me...
