Hi Jouni. That things got some balls to it! Nice guitar playing there and those voice sounds are great too – nice touch. It's a good rocking sound for sure. Have fun. dreamer7 :D

Hi MadHatter. :cool: This is really a very good song and well played all round – can I hear a big Coldplay influence in there? Nice production I'd say, but as you mentioned the bass is low. Also, I think the picking-style guitars dominate too much from the start, but particularly when the vocal...

:) Hi bigtom. Glad you like it, but I must admit that I've never thought of it as New Age, so it's interesting that you see it sort of that way. Now, "trippy", that's a good word! :) Hi Chris. Hmmm, "Neo-Psychedelia, with strong Ambient overtones", I like that description. I did have a...

Hi guitarboi89. :cool: Very, very good song. Must have been tremendous fun having a whole band in your house and this does sound like a live recording. If that's what you're after then it's worked, but as it's such a good song I'd personally like to hear a more 'produced' sound to build the...

Hi gary. It's a pretty good grungey rock song, but also slightly typical of the genre, in my humble opinion. Well played and sung though and well produced really, apart from the fact that it sounds a little bit too tame for the sort of music it is. Needs to sound grittier if you know what I...

Hi again patlang. Yeah, the whole track sounds a bit rushed to me. If you have the technology to slow this down a bit in varying degrees, you'll probably notice it starting to sound better and more relaxed. Then you could choose a speed at which it sounds best and use that, or re-record it with...

:):):) Many thanks to all who posted before, for the previous good advice on this track BUT…… ……I'd also really like to know how this sounds to people as an original idea. How's it coming across as a piece of music in itself (if you ignore the distortion problem mentioned in the previous...

Hi Chris. Er yep, there's definitely nothing like that in there :rolleyes:. Foetus (possibly the English way?) is just another way to spell Fetus. :) Hi Danny. I have done other soundscapes using instruments, but for this I wanted to experiment and only use sounds that I could record without...

Hi patlang. Yeah, definitely sounds rushed, which is making your timing off. Maybe you need to relax a bit with this sort of stuff to let the tune do its work. The lead guitar sounds quite tinny, while the rhythm sounded a bit muffled. I'd personally add some effects, but then I'm an effects...

Hey Greg. :( First of all I have to say that I find it very difficult to judge covers as I just can't help comparing them to the original (if I know the song that is!). I don't mind covers if a fave artist of mine covers a great song, but manages to make it quite different to the original and...

:D Ooops, forgot to ask this in the last post. Many thanks all for the advice above, but I'd also really like to know how this track sounds to people as an original idea. Y'know, how's it coming across as a piece of music in itself (if you ignore the distortion problem). Also, as we all have to...

Great stuff ds21 and thanks for the link. There may be hope after all. dreamer7 Well RAMI, not sure if I should give away secrets like that ;), but on my Apple keyboard it's 'option' along with 'atserisk' (*). dreamer7 Good to know that the distortion doesn't sound too major to you IronFlippy...

:) Cheers for your input MadAudio. It's a valid point and I did change the mix a few times. At first, all the sounds were more distinct but that just made it easier to suss out what the sounds were, which wasn't what I wanted. After trying different things, I increased the cavernous quality to...

:) Thanks for the idea ds21, but I think I'd like it to be taken straight from the original 4-track master on the portastudio, as mp3s reduce the sound quality anyway. I wouldn't mind taking it to a semi-pro studio to get a good engineer to clean it up if he could do a good job of it and I doubt...

:) Well, you're open-minded enough to listen to it in the first place Greg. Some people wouldn't even do that, but it's a good thing that a lot of us have quite different tastes, otherwise we'd all be listening to the same ol' stuff (and that would be pretty boring after a while!). I had the...

:cool: Absolutely amazing David. The violins sound incredible. Great recording quality and it's a beautiful tune isn't it? dreamer7 ------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.soundclick.com/gardenofsurrealdreams THE ETERNAL LIGHT OF WILL – my very humble tribute to...

:cool: Great sound you've captured there Gorty. Be nice to hear more of that, but then I love the sound of Mandolins anyway and will definitely buy one when I can, for a nice different feel to some of my tracks. dreamer7 ------------------------------------------------------------...

:) Hi to all you fine folk, I'd really like some advice on the digital distortion on this track, but would also like to know how it sounds to people as an original idea anyway. It has a special place in my heart, so I'd like to save the recording if poss, rather than re-record it. I've...

;) Anything you want Greg (or nothing at all if that's the feeling). I didn't think this would be your sort of thing, so I really appreciate the fact that you've played it and given it a chance anyway. I wasn't actually going to put it up for views, but I'm genuinely fascinated by how...

:cool: Yeah, I like this. Has a bit of a different slant to it. I like the basic overall sound and particularly the drumsound. The long intro works for me. I wasn't keen on the sound chosen for the synth melody part though. It sounds too straight and sweet for the song – a bit sort of sickly...
