Had to come back for another listen. Just picked up on the variation in the last chorus. That is a very nice touch, man. This one is up there for me. I really dig it. Your tunes have a great balance of classic feel and sensibilities meshed with modern ideas. Do another one.

Love the vocal reverb. I got a real Roger Waters vibe a couple times. Not "sounds like", but just something that pushed my mind in that direction. I love the almost delay-ish sounding vocals that pop out on the left. Very creative and cool. I am really enjoying this song, and the production...

Thanks so much, dobro. What are you thinking for the master bus? Right now, I've got some light 2 bus compression on the order of maybe 1dB - 2dB reduction here and there. It makes a surprising difference to the punch and glue of the mix overall. We are planning to have this mastered, so any...

Ah! LOL, I guess I should know this, eh? You are right about the base notes of the riffs. Grounded in the blues to be sure. Embarrassingly, I don't know the slightest bit of theory (not even to such a simple level). I always just let a song go wherever it wants to go. Ends up in cliche's...

Ha! Thanks RAMI :). Music to Murder is the band. This is the third M2M song I've posted up here. Working on a new mix now. Should be up in a couple weeks. The next one isn't the same sort of sleazy rock tune as the first three, but it still sounds like us. Thanks for the kind words, man. It...

I agree that there is more of a band feel now. I am happier with the overall sound of this mix after experimenting with getting away from strict LCR guidelines. I'll keep going with this for sure. Many thanks to everyone who gently nudged me to try new things. I really appreciate this place and...

Very cool tune, RAMI. I really like the verse riffs and the chorus has great melody. I can see this becoming one of my favourites from you. It has all the elements that draw me to your tunes. I'm not in my mix space right now, and I'm listening on consumer phones, but I am getting a little...

Thanks dobro. I'm happy to learn that it's coming across that way. I really never know when it gets to the end of a mix because I am so incredibly over-familiar with everything. Really appreciate the listen and the comments, man.

Hey Ricky, Thanks a lot, both for your initial feedback and your follow up. I agree that the mix is a tiny bit on the dark side (which I definitely went for on purpose with every instrument) and there is room in the highs for a bit more content. I'll play with vocals up there. I like where the...

Drums don't seem to be in the same space as everything else. Just a sense I am getting. Went to the well too many times with the backwards reverb with the intro drums. Same with the main vocals. I like it, but I think it would be more effective if it was used more sparingly. Nice playing. That...

That's some pretty rich djenty sounding guitar distortion. It's what I simultaneously like the most and the least about djent. It seems like there is a djent recipe book for how a guitar tone is supposed to sound, and every djent song I have ever heard strives to attain that same tone. I like...

lol!

The vocals and snare are well balanced in my space, so maybe that means there is a translation issue to figure out here. I'm on A7x's in a relatively small treated space. Have you done "the car test", "the stereo test", "the laptop test", etc? Overall, sounds like a punk mix. I like it. The...

Okay, well I did mention that I work very slowly, but I finally finished all the changes that were either prompted by the gracious feedback here, or that I decided I wanted to make on my own after letting the track fester for a couple days. I changed a lot of the panning to give it more of a...

Ah, Ricky, nice to see you here. I'm sure you've noticed that mjbphotos is also from the other site. I like these forums very much. These are much more mix and technically focused and not so much on songwriting critique. Always have time to listen to music. What else is there? :) Still sounds...

I really like this. Great arrangement. I'm not always a fan of music that is heavy into synths, but I do really like stuff that gets into "darker" sounds and melody (like certain periods of Depeche Mode for example). This is up my alley for sure. A great tune is a great tune. The mix sounds...

Cheers, Retrohazard and welcome to the site! Thanks a lot. With the mix revision I am working on right now I am bringing the vocals out front a little bit, so hopefully that will make them more clear. Hopefully you notice when I post a new version and drop back in for a quick listen. I'd like...

Thanks cakewalkgg. Very cool that you liked it :). I have grown to really dislike some aspects of this mix after letting it fester for a couple days, so I am working on a revision. Hopefully I don't mess up anything good about the current mix! I am bringing the cymbals in a bit. I'm not going...

I'll look at automating that up as much as I can while keeping the dynamics as I want them. I have been doing more work on the mix. Should get to post it within a few days. I hear ya on the L-R, but I am open minded enough to consider different approaches and now I am having fun with it. From my...

I really like this song, and I think this mix is a definite step in the right direction compared to the previous posting. Right now, it is very, very dense. If you want that, you have achieved a great mix that is very, very full. There is room for some slight tweaking to open up the clarity...
