Actually splitting the drums to separate tracks is the reason I’m recording in MIDI. Sonar has a feature which will take a midi drum track and put each drum on it’s own individual track. Very handy. Thanks for input. I’m pretty sure I have tried it both with local control on, and local...

Not sure where to turn for this one, but I’ll start in the midi forum. Last night I recorded a midi drum track into Sonar using a Roland TD-11 set. The Roland has a Midi Out connection, as well as a USB connection. I recorded using the Midi Out connected to the midi in on my audio interface...

Highly recommend checking your mixes out on various systems as you never know what they’ll be played back on. Obviously your studio monitors, but also car stereo, home stereo, iPad/iphone (or other cheapo speakers). Plus I find often things will jump out at you that you weren’t aware of. ??

Listening on an iPad, but sounds pretty good. Nothing lacking, even on these tiny speakers. Good harmonies. Nice acoustic, nice playing. I’ll try and check it on better speakers another time, but good track. Btw, I also play a Taylor (310ce) and it records quite well. Better than I play...

Thsnks for the feedback. Been awhile since I listened to the original too. The whole thing was much more laid back iirc. We weren’t necessarily trying to copy it. Kinda start with the lyrics, melody and chord structure and then see where it leads.

Very melodic instrument. Nice for a warm and sunny Sat afternoon. Vocal levels are fine to me. Reference? Tubular Bells, lol.

I saw that when Bandlabs first took over, but I thought there was some kinda catch. Something like the files weren’t on your hard drive, but were hosted on their site… or something along those lines that stopped me from taking the freebie.

Excellent mix. I like the song (Shadow of a Dead Rose, I assume that's the one you're asking about?). Does put me a little in mind of Billy Joel. Vocals might have just a smidge too much effects on them, but that's mostly a taste thing. Good work. I also started recording on Cakewalk (PA9...

Like this! Sounds a little like Little Feat (without the horns). Good toe tapper. Everything is well recorded and blends pretty good for an internet collab, Kudos.

Second version is better than the first, so you're moving in the right direction. Vocal is still too up front and has too much reverb, imo. What I can hear of the guitar(s) sounds pretty good. I'd bring that out more. As stated by others, the components of the mix sound like they're all in...

Gotcha. Thanks. Taste plays an important role in music, obviously. So I do listen to what everyone says and weigh it over. Sometimes I agree with the comments, and sometimes I don’t. I can see Spantini’s comment about a dirtier guitar, but I’m not necessarily unhappy with it as is. I might...

Guitar lead is real nice. Recording is pretty good in general. Not a big fan of double tracked vocals myself. And the severe panning and timing issues make it sound even odder to my ears. Maybe that's what you were going for, so take it for what it's worth. Just not to my taste. As it is...

Thanks. Yeah, it's a matter of taste, but I see where the lead could use some extra crunch. As for the drums, those are e-drums and the sound is what the drummer chose to use. We actually record them via midi, then split the midi file to individual tracks to allow full control over each...

Thanks for listening, dobro. Not sure exactly what that means. Care to expand?

No. There is a multiband compressor on the entire mix, but nothing on the drums themselves. However, they are e-drums, so I'm not sure what Roland used on the sound files. :)

This was recorded a couple of years ago. One of my band mates suggested I should post it for comments/suggestions. It's our take on the Alan Parsons Project song, Eye In The Sky.

Nice. I like this. But needs more bass and drums. I can hear the bass, but it doesn't drive this like it should. But I mostly like it. :thumbs up:

Gotta agree with most of the comments. The 1/3 accents on the guitar seem stiff. As Spantini said, it seems to lack the swing of the original. Maybe too many instruments hitting the same accents (guitar, kick drum, etc). Might help if the kick was less straight? Cymbals at 1:26 are...

Listening on an iPad, so I won’t comment much. It sounds good, and I find that often it’s harder to make stuff sound good on cheap speakers than it is on good systems. So nice job. I’ll re-listen again on my studio system later. Nice guitar work btw. Update: Listened on a better system...

Good ears, dobro. Yes I did. 2-3 db iirc.
