Thank you! I have lots of originals coming down the pipeline. I wrote a ton while I was a truck driver. I'm just slowing down on recording them to do a few more covers first. I want to not have to listen to my songs for months trying to tweak them. I want to get quicker and better at mixing and...

That song is an ambitious undertaking, and you nailed it. I have no doubt you have a better mix, as there were some issues with that I haven't heard in your other stuff (plus, you know, Soundcloud). But performance-wise, awesome!

My Line 6 is a hardware unit, so the guitars are recorded as is. When I was picking out all my studio equipment, I debated what kind of sim to get. I have never used a software sim, but I used the original Line 6 POD for years and loved it on recordings (not as much live), and when I was in the...

Thank you! I'm guessing the lead part you're talking about is that little rhythmic lead thing that alternates with the scratchy Csus chord. I intentionally make that part, both the chord and the lead, as scratchy as I can. It's almost funky, and I like to make it more so. It's my favorite moment...

This is exactly my problem with it. I've never been happy with the guitar sound on this, and don't think I will be until I get a real amp again and retrack at least the lead. Yet I've gotten good crunchy sounds on other songs with the same Line 6 unit, so I don't know what the deal is with this...

I'll let you know when I figure it out. No analog, but I do have plugins that bring out noise. Now I have other ones that don't.

I've got to try that out tomorrow when I have some alone time. Make sure my screams are suitable. Is your Paranoid Android posted here?

I enunciate. It's kinda my thing. I've always loved that about Paul Simon, and also the guy from Cake. I like for people to know exactly what words I'm singing.

Thanks! I use an Avantone CV-12 for vocals. I swapped out the tube for a better one, though I can't remember what it is. I did my research, and now I don't remember anything about it except that changing the tube in that mic is pretty much the worst thing in the world. It was worth it, though. I...

Thanks guys! Bubba, what I'm going for is a take that's a bit heavier than the original, a bit bigger, a bit more aggressive. I'm not totally happy with the current guitar sound, but I think I'm just going to be done with it. In the future I may retrack when I get an amp. Maybe I should try out...

The original is on Amnesiac, but the one you want is on a live album called I Might Be Wrong. They are COMPLETELY different. I play the piano basically like Thom does live, but other than that I did my own thing. Mine is also much shorter.

Thanks all! The piano patch is a Bill Evans-style sound, old and dark and vintage jazz. However, after mixing and mastering I don't even remember what it actually sounded like. I've bounced around through so many different mastering setups on this, and settled on a darker, more vintage kind of...

I'm unplugged from the studio and just listening on my laptop, but this sounds immaculate - full, warm, clear, all those good adjectives we're usually looking for in a mix - on laptop speakers. I'm not getting off the couch again tonight, but tomorrow I'm definitely listening to this on my monitors.

Ok, so I didn't really set out to do another Radiohead cover. It just kind of happened. I was sitting at my keyboard on a rainy Sunday afternoon with bourbon in hand when I decided to play something for a Facebook video, with the audio recorded on my DAW. I don't really have a repertoire of...

Here's the new mix. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1q3bgtkYyakY0M4QnFTRnVPVG8

This mix sounds awesome. Full and warm, I love it. I still like your vocal better. You mixed the original singer's voice better, but if you give your vocal track some "oomph" in the right places I think your version sounds more believable. Makes me feel the lyrics.

So I pretty much did a complete remix. Different approach. I think this works better than before. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1q3bgtkYyakWnBrNkppR2dXMjA

Hmm. I might be able to pull off Debaser. If I can, that would be a blast to sing. I'd definitely be interested in that. I'm always interested in collaborating. I've also thought about covering Hey or Tame. Or Gouge Away. Those are pretty much the three I've been debating. I've decided I need to...

I'm only listening on my crappy headphones, since I can't listen on monitors right now. My roommate sleeps until late afternoon, and I don't live that rock and roll lifestyle anymore. That being said, it sounds really good. I'm thinking about what you said about my vocal on The Bends, and I...

Well, I was talking about the panning, but now that I'm listening to it again I think the panning seems ok. I do think it's more of an EQ thing, mainly cleaning up the mids, opening up the sound of the track some.
