    Listen to my songs in good positions in the charts

    sorry man, I gotta agree with the sabbath man. the quality of the recording is crap, but that's not your fault necessarily - you could improve your vocal delivery - try singing from above the notes, if you know what I mean - right now your straining your voice and it don't sound so good plus...

    my first truly "dark" song

    yea man, I feel your pain. I don't live in a dorm, but I do most of my recording late at night as that's when I have spare time, so I'm always "keeping it down". I give up playing git with a pick after midnight as it just earns me a bollocksing from my girl . . .

    Should we re-record our songs?

    the way it is I like the stuff the way it is, but who knows , I might like it more if it was re-recorded? I say hey, if you've got the time, try re-recording a track or two - if you dig it, go over the whole thing - wou might find bits in the music you never heard before. if not, then screw it...

    my first truly "dark" song

    ok, here goes well, you're right, it REALLY is a dark song - not that that's a bad thing. I like the lyrics and the structure of the song - kind of a darker version of green day, so it was cool. couple of things though, (and I'm going to be honest here) - the vocals were a bit, well, flat - I...

    Waiting for the perfect time

    hi, I really liked the song - nice voals especially - they had a good tone to them. as far as the mix goes, I'm still learning . . . but it sounded good to my ears. only thing I picked up on was that there seemed to be a bit of distance between the organic (live) elements like the (very nice)...

    I'm new here, I need a review and some advice.

    cool I'm not much of an expert on the production of this stuff, but I liked RagBeat16 - I liked the tension between the rolling basss and the sort of melodic treble bits. I also dug UpBeat 27, although I thought it could do with a bit of "beefing up" in the mid ranges - it was pretty...

    opinions on a song?

    cheers hey cheers, you haven't offended me at all. it's really cool to get feedback. funnily enough, I was debating with myself whether to put a middle 8 in and then another double chorus at the end - you think this is a good idea then? it's funny that you pick up on the whole drug-thing, cos...

    opinions on a song?

    sorry, shold have been clearer, any opinions really - mainly the song structure at this stage as I know I'm gonna re-record it cos obviously this first version is pretty shite, but I appreciate your comments on the recording as well - then I can take them into account when I do re-record :)

    opinions on a song?

    hey thanks for replying, yeah I can tweak the hi-hats easily in fruityloops. the thing about my setup is that I'm right now changing it (waiting on a pre amp at the moment) so will re-record stuff when that comes in. I do all my mixing and everything in cool edit though. I'll be recording again...

    which software to use?

    hey, I'm currently using Cool Edit Pro but I'm finding it a bit of a pain not being able to monitor (listen to) the track I'm recording as I record it. I'm not so keen on getting a mixer as I'm on a budget. Is there any other software program which allows monitoring, possibly one which I could...

    What (musical) direction should we take?

    personally i thought the original (acoustic) version was far and away the best. yeah it is kind of 70s. i liked the rock remake as well though. they both remind me a bit of New Zealand "drone" bands from the 70s and 80s like the Verlaines, if you've heard of them (and "drone" is not a bad...
