Not me! Guitar tone was better. Sorry I didn't know that the lead was a guitar, that's an unusual tone. But I still have a problem with the drum sound. Timbo

I'm old but not from Turner Joy, thanks for the props! I spent a long time on the lyrics and mix. I used the lyric cutup technique heavily to get this one started. There's an online generator: Text manipulation, Cut-up technique and related links, I find it extremely useful as a lyric aid. Timbo

Wow, Steve, you've got a quick mouth. My teeth'd fall out if I tried to sing this song! Maybe it's just me but I'm finding the guitar on the left to be lacking some high end, although I like the tone, it's a little to low end for me. The only other things is that synth that comes in on the last...

Alright, love the humour - it's hard to do right and you did a great job. On to the songs, I listened to both. Enormous difference between the two, with the second being much better. The vibraphone fits perfectly. This mix I can blast without getting that gritty harshness. My only nitpick is...

dwillis45 and DM60, All you need is a little angst to lay down fresh tracks! Once the angst is gone, the music dies too.

Thanks Rexinator, number 6 and dwillis45. I was trying for a bit of funk in the lead at the end, with the cymbal going on 2 and 4. But the song itself and stuff I've put out recently may have drum roots in hip hopish rhythms with rock "thinking", I don't know - it doesn't really matter as long...

Sounds very interesting! Musically, 1958 was a long time ago, if you get my drift.

I forgot to ask, can you please explain what you mean by "sound depth"? Do you mean instruments forward and backward in the mix? Thanks, Timbo

Thanks for the replies, now I've got to check out EDM and Indie Electronica music. As for unique, I'm tired of putting out guitar rock and have been aiming for something different. Timbo

Funny! Thanks for the replies. Maybe it's "electronica" because Bulls Hit is right, everything but the bass guitar and my voice are softsynths, mostly the ones you get with the AKAI Advance keyboards. Timbo

Sorry, I've been lurking not posting much. Fractured a rib a few weeks back, but that's no excuse! Here's a new one. I've tried to apply the tips of everyone over the past few songs and "think" I've put out the best version of this song that I can. Please comment, both good and bad. Thanks...

I appreciate everyone's patience on this mix. I've done my best on another mix, I think I've got it. I've brought the bass guitar up as loud as I like it. Part of the problem with the mix is the bass player (me) and the singer (me), but those parts can't be fixed. Thanks again for your help...

The guys are right - I put together my own a couple of years back for under $1000 Cdn. Start small with the DAW and treat your room. Notice everybody's saying the same thing?

I apologize if I wasn't clear the first time. If you need any help with anything, the people here are: very smart (when it comes to music, most aren't not "string theory" smart) very helpful, and very experienced They may not always be "into" your genre, but they do their best to...

Sorry, I was too brief. I meant I like the sound of the tune. But the song doesn't really go anywhere, there are no vocals or anything so I kind of lost interest in it. To make it better, I'd try mixing up the drums more and adding a vocal to it - when you're new at this, adding a vocal puts...

Okay, much better Frank. Reminds me a bit of old pre-1969 Floyd. And that's a good thing.

Nice "sound" overall, but I need this to go somewhere if you dig.

I'm enjoying the idea. I'm okay with the drum sounds, but I think the wah and lead guitar needs to come forward in the mix, they're a little "too shy". It's a cool idea that needs fleshing out, aka vox and the like. Timbo

I think that's a good idea ...

Thanks for pointing that out Robus! :( I've been working on a mix for the past week or so, it has replaced the original file on soundcloud. I appreciate the help from all of you who have listened. Timbo
