Lead has a nice hook to it. A song like this really needs vocals. Nice bridge. Perfect for some cool vocals in there. The drums bug me a bit. They seem a bit unnatural especially when they get loud in a few spots. Drums need work. Vocals for sure. Bass can work. A real bass would take it to...

Nice voice. A slight lack of confidence and ever so slightly off key in a few spots but really sweet sounding. Lots of potential. :) Some of the words are a bit hard to make out due to the sibilance. Could be clearer. The music sounds good. Nice simple groove. Nice tune. :) Dave

'Signs of Life' is the best of the bunch for sure. Super lead guitar playing and tone. Very nice. :cool: Great recording and playing. Fantastic vocals. No nits from me. You definitley have a consistant style and sound. Your on the right track. Dave

Sounds pretty cool. Some of the sounds reminds of the stuff I would get out of FruityLoops (Dx10, TS404). Sounds pretty good. Like the vocals. No real nits here but for some reason it sounds just a bit sparse. Like it needs some guitars or some kind of pads in the background. I know you have a...

Good advice from Jeff above. Watch the gain on the guitars. You can usually use less than you think because once you start adding more guitars, bass etc. it gets pretty dirty fast. Dave

It's not the playing. It's more the tone that makes it sound midi. Was the guitar recorded direct? Also I thought a bit more acoustic to fill the song would make it really nice. But I'm biased. :D

Dude. Is that a picture of your file. Damn. There's no wave. :eek: Just one big flat blob. No wonder it sounds distorted and clipping. The whole song is pushing the red. Make sure you have all your levels with some headroom when recording. This is from an article - "If your stereo mix looks like...

Nice song. The piano's not that bad to me. It sounds like heavy reverb??? A better piano would probably help. The vocals are pretty good. Nothing so off key to bother me or make notice. Being a guitar player I'd like to hear some better guitar. Or more guitar. Acoustic of course. Is that guitar...

Yep. Listened to them both. BIG difference with the real drums. They sound great. :cool: Makes the song much more 'epic'. Canned drums are fine if you can work them with a drummers mind. Personally I use EZ when writing tunes but I usually go with a real drummer to finish the song. Nothing like...

Great music!! Sounds very hollow. Really needs some better eqing. I really don't know where to start with advice on the eq itself but every instrument needs it bad. The bass sounds sick (not in a good way) The guitars lack any sparkle. All are very hollow and mid range. Both sound 'warbly'. Not...

Nice tune guys. That solo was killer. Has an old school vibe to this song. I like it. Not overmixed, compressed, etc. Sounds good on my end. :cool: Dave

Sure hope this doesn't become elevator music. A song like gravity and elevators are not a good mix. :D Got a new CD coming?

Sounds like a latency issue. You just have to change your program's latency settings and hope that your computer can handle the changes. The soundcard your using is important. I had the same problem many years ago and it was my latency and soundcard. It was an old box but since I upgraded I've...

Cool tune. Diggin' all the changes. I would hate to mix it. :cool: Dave

Cool tune. Kinda confusing because it's a mix between Alt & Country. The lead guitar sound like Country. The vocals and groove is Alt. The only thing that I'd personally do different is add a bit more layering of guitars. Maybe something a bit dirty. Also a fatter bass. Good tune though. :cool...

Sounds great. Not bad for impromptu. I love those moments. :cool: I miss playing in a band. Dave

Nice tune. The vocals seem a bit wide though? :confused: Dave

Vocals are too loud. Especially the verses. Your doing a very soft song but the vocals are way overpowering. Actually a lot of it is mixed uneven to my ears. The piano is too strong in the second half of the song. Sounds way too loud compared to the guitars. Everythings sounding really dry as...

Can't find much fault with this. I found myself just getting into the groove so much I forgot to listen super closely for any issues. I thought, shit.. better play it again and did the same thing!! Got lost in the song. :rolleyes: Oh well... Cool tune. :cool: Dave

Listened to both. I was going to say 'in my ears' the vocals are at a perfect level. Now that I listen to the second mix I think they're too low. Slightly getting buried. The vocals were up front and center quite nicely in the first mix. Maybe a tad dry but I thought it was perfect. A song and...
