Thanks man! Great detail in your notes. I really appreciate the careful listen and critique. The bass was even a little bit more "too much" recently. I have been trying to do minimal processing figuring that folks will help me to just do a little bit more. I think that my problem here is likely...

Hey there HR forum types. Thanks for popping in. Please have a listen to our newest song and let us know your thoughts. I am happy to do some tweaks if there are things that should be tweaked. As always, any and all thoughts are most welcome - good or bad, brief or detailed. Mostly interested...

Greg, that sounds like it was really well recorded. I know this is a guitar tone thread, but let's talk about all tones here. The drums sound absolutely fantastic. Clear cymbals, great body and snap to the snare, lots of punch and thump to the kick. The bass guitar, for me, always sort of rides...

This is a very radio friendly sounding tune I think. Effected vocals in the first section can come up. Can't make out the kick for the most part. Snare can come up. Toms sound a little overly hard panned. Good, hooky and catchy vocals. Good harmonies. Strong voice. The soundbytes are a cool...

Dropbox sounds much different from the soundcloud version. Way better. Wow, I have heard soundcloud damage a track before, but this is the most extreme example I have ever heard.

Just walked away is great. The first song isn't up anymore. Too bad. Wanted to listen. Absolutely killer musicianship. You are for sure amongst the most accomplished of us on this board when it comes to the maturity and refinement of your playing, your writing and your production skills...

Saw Robus' comment about the muddiness and I didn't agree until the chorus comes in. Now I agree. I think the rest is very close if not perfect. There is always a fine line between mud and weight. I am guilty of cutting too much a lot of the time personally. Toms up. Drums sound great...

I haven't been around as much as I would like to be lately, so I haven't heard everything you've done in the last while, but this is the heaviest thing that I think I've heard from you. It still has your sound that you've got going on (and I could pick your tracks out now without knowing it is...

Lead guitar lines have a very muffled and congested tone. Acoustic is very dark as well. Vocals are very loud and dry compared to the rest of the mix. Backing vocals have an effect on them that is a little off-putting to listen to. Maybe it's not an effect, but rather just a radio-y sounding...

I spent significant time comparing a half dozen transient plugins a year ago (including all mentioned in this thread) and TransReckon by eaReckon beat everything out in terms of functionality and sound quality to me. Aside from doing 'regular tests', I tried to stress all of the plugins with...

Checked out the new mix. I'm thinking that anything on my mind right now is very subjective, so please just take it as a personal aesthetic thing. In other words, if this was my mix, I might do 'x' sort of thing. Pads are pretty low. Personally, I'm not much of a fan of having really subtle mix...

Good groove going on here. Drums seem to be cutting through the mix an awful lot, particularly the ride and hats. Feels like it needs a bit of 'room' to me, or if you want to keep them pretty dry, maybe some other way to back off the transients a bit so that they lay back a little. Really well...

Good job on the vocals. Bass tone is nice and the kick is coming through well, but overall, the low end seems to be lacking a little punch/impact. Just a touch. I want to 'feel' the low end a bit and I'm not really getting that. The guitar tone of the main guitar parts seem appropriate, but...

This mix is a noticeable improvement all around. Based on what you are saying now, it seems like you are getting lost in the minutia. Make sure you satisfy yourself to be sure, but try not to get obsessed with things that don't really matter too much. You'll never be done the mix if you do this...

Little Purple Circles I have been listening to Explorer at least one full time through every week or two since Supercreep posted it a year ago. I would say that I have heard the full thing from start to finish at least 40 times now...

Very cool track! Although I would not go anywhere near a "sounds like", this made me think of both some of Bowie's latest tracks or even more so, the anime shows that my son loves to watch on Netflix. I could hear this being the main theme of an anime production. Frank has a really great feel...

Nice song first off. Very relaxed, flowing, vibey and musical performance, which is by far the most important thing here, above all else. Great tone and timbre to your vocals. The mix is quite good. Well captured. Nicely balanced in general. There is a clipping distortion happening on the lead...

Beautiful, Greg. Thanks a lot for the advice. I'm bookmarking this page for the future. Good tip on the Y cable. I was indeed thinking about an attenuator already, specifically from seeing you talk about it before. GAS can strike at any time. Beware. Holy sweet Mary.

That's great to hear. I have one local shop that carries Marshall and they should have one or two, so I will go and spend some time with them this weekend. I had a quick look at the used market here (Southern Ontario) and there's not much happening. I can be patient with a purchase like this...
