    I love this one. I love the valley-girl-style "like-its"! I thought the arrangement was good, but I think Chili had a lot of good ideas that might make it even better. I think you should come up with some more material to replace the "plate of food" part after the first one (I mean I loved it...

    Steenamaroo - 2nd start to finish thread

    I agree, great songwriting, the arrangement sounds really good too. I loved the part about the wedding. It rang very true, like when someone says something that you've been thinking for a while, but you thought you were the only one who thought that, and then the person also says it better than...

    "Ride" --> how do you feel about the midgets?

    Huh. Clearly a FAR superior mix. I want to learn how to do that. The vocals are much more clear. And in general all the vocals seem a little smoother, less rough and amateurish sounding. Going back and forth between my version and your version, wow. I'm not sure how I feel about the change in...

    Fairytale For The Wicked!

    Wow, cool! What a neat idea for a song. Reminds me of Andrew Dice Clay + Kacey Musgraves (Merry Go Round). Your singing is spot on, perfect articulation and timing. Your piano sounds great. I love the organ parts. I thought there were too many explicitly sexual parts, esp the part with the...

    Feedback on this GARAGEBAND recording?

    Overall, I thought it sounded good! I thought it seemed well-written, arranged and recorded. I would say the main drawback is that if it is to be instrumental only, it is too repetitive, not melodic enough. I see what people are saying about the drums...they seem a little too perfect with regard...

    Need feedback and critics on my mixing: Fusion Rock

    Very cool! I enjoyed listening to this. It sounded good to me when it got to the main part. My feedback is on the intro. It seemed "off" like it would sound better if it was quantized. Things didn't seem to come in on time/at the same time. Also, when it starts, it should really START. It sort...

    An oldie but a goodie...

    The guitars sound really good to me. I am always afraid to pan things that extremely but this sounds great. I enjoyed hearing this, thanks for posting. Sorry I can't get too detailed, I am pretty new to this.

    "Ride" --> how do you feel about the midgets?

    Thanks so much for the additional opinions. Mr. Clean: Thanks. I like that phrase! I will look into places where the drums need to be louder, a couple people have mentioned this now. Paddedcell: I'd never heard of Klaatu. Listened to a couple of songs on youtube. Cool! I agree I need to bring...

    "Ride" --> how do you feel about the midgets?

    Ok...about the midgets...so what happened was this song was out of my range in the chorus. But I didn't want to change the melody because I really liked it. So I sang it down 3 half steps, and then pitch-shifted up using flex pitch in Logic X. But then it had some weird effects here and there...

    NSD - New Song Day - Pagoda Tree

    I really liked this, very atmospheric. I liked the delay on the vocals. I was trying to figure out how to say what I thought about the vocals, and then I saw Greg_L's comment...that's exactly it. "Too thin, too low." It's like the song is calling out for the vocals to be a little deeper, richer...

    no other

    I really like the fast singing part ("Wanna be...") I like the idea of the sliding vocals in the beginning...but I think it might be a bit overdone, as in it's difficult to get a hold on what the main note is that you're sliding into/out of (if that makes sense). To me it was distracting. I...

    "Ride" --> how do you feel about the midgets?

    Thanks a lot for the feedback Steenamaroo and Jamie. I'm glad to hear that the drums sound fine to you, they sounded good to me but sometimes I worry that something ONLY sounds good to me! I will definitely turn up the vocals. That can be really hard for me to judge. I am also going to...

    no name no nuttin, just a tune..

    Ok, it sounds good to me, pleasant to listen to. My constructive criticism would be at the first step of the process, "song" structure. In my opinion it needs to have a melodic line, and more variation (too much repetition).

    Opinions on mymix so far :)

    Hi! I liked it. I did like the weird vocal effects. But I may tend to overdue those things myself, so... When it started I thought it was dragging a little. But then I got used to it. I like the tone of your voice and also the style of singing here.

    I really need Help! please?

    Yeah, I would also say maybe try a different mic. There is something going wrong..it almost sounds like there is a "telephone" filter effect being used on it. Did you add any effects or anything?

    "Ride" --> how do you feel about the midgets?

    Hi everyone, It's been a couple months since I've been on here, I've been learning Logic X and the new flex pitch (which is great!) I'm about 75% done with several songs, so here is the first. This is the best I could do right now and I'd appreciate any feedback...

    "following Light"

    I thought this was a really impressive arrangement and production. Listening to it on headphones, I would have liked to hear more bass.

    Me and my acoustic guitar try it again

    I love the sound and feel of this overall. To bring it up a notch in professionalism, have you considered using some pitch correction software? I just started using flex pitch that's in Logic X and I can imagine how it could fix a couple of pitch problems on a few notes here in there in your...

    Steenamaroo - Rough demo of new Pete song.

    I really like the song! Great vocal performance. I will aspire to this! Great lyrics--ring true and original. I thought the kick drum was a little too loud in the beginning. It would be nice to have some female voices in the chorus. But so great! Congrats!

    Looking for feedback

    Great song! I really like the sound of your voice. My constructive criticism: I think I'd take down the level of the vocals a little overall. And yes there are some vocal problem spots esp. when it goes higher, and a little here and there as well. I'd say overall a great song and a good...
