This is a song I wrote and this is, I think, the penultimate mix - I can hear a few tweeks I need to make. I am keen to know what you think of the drums and vocals in particular, but also of the general arrangements and of course the song. My co producer and I spent a lot of time getting the...

hey Thanks for the reply. I didn't want to use any reverb because I am going for a very live feel. All instruments were recorded in the same room at some distance from the microphone so as to get an ambient room reverb. I'm not really a fan of obvious reverb, which is why I used none on this...

I recorded this song a few weeks ago and I would like some opinions on the mix. I used no reverbs or anything - only natural room ambiance. Let me know what you think of the general sound and of course the composition. It's called Heaven Themed Parties and can be found here...

I just recorded a new song. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. It's roughly mixed, but I'll come back to it in a few days to do it properly. You can find it at www.myspace.com/michaelwookey Regards, Michael Wookey

ok Hello Ray. Thanks for the feedback. It's all on purpose, of course. It's not treated at all - I used an old instrument called an Optigan for the drums and 3/4 guitar, which has a natural 78 sound, and it's all put through old tape, which I guess is classed as treatment, but I don't...

I have uploaded my song Edward's Little Party to my myspace. www.myspace.com/michaelwookey

Sorry! SORRY, that was totally the wrong link! That was a box I was drooling over. Here is my link: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=018&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&viewitem=&item=280110163945&rd=1&rd=1

Don't know if this is the right place, but I have an effects box for sale. I build pedals and processors and things in to vintage casings. Here is the link to my newest box...

optigan It's similar to a record, but uses the same method of sound storage as optical film stock. They always sounded pretty crackly due to the way they work. It's quite bizzarre how any imperfections sound exactly like a record though. The vocal was recorded without the use of a pop...

ok The scratchy sound isn't an effect. The drums are taken from my Optigan and that is how they sound. Thanks for your inputs.

I recorded this song last night. It took 30 minutes. It was mostly done using Optigan and Wurlitzer but a few other vintage keyboards creeped in too. Let me know what you think. It's called "Acid Queens" and can be found here: www.myspace.com/michaelwookey and here...

k 1 word. Unconvincing. MW

k To me the drums are slightly bright, but that might just be that it's an mp3. I like the synth. The vocals need to come up I think. I also like the guitar sounds apart from the little solo at the start - that sounds amateur to me. Good song though! Bit weezer innit! MW

Hi. I've got a few home made effects and things for sale on Ebay. Here's my shop link: http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQsassZmjwookeyQQhtZ-1

On ebay I have a few modified things for sale. A megaphone and a few bits. Here's a link to my shop: http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQsassZmjwookeyQQhtZ-1

ok How sure are you about that? I think I can fix it all myself if that's the case. MW

I have a Wurlitzer 200a and it's been fine until now. All of a sudden it's gone weird. When I turn it on it makes a weird synthy hum - kind of goes between noise and hum and changes pitch a bit. It still works other than that noise. Anyone know what is causing this? M

I have a home made synth type thing on ebay at the moment. It's at http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SMUDGEBOX-LOVE-EGG-CIRCUIT-BENT-NOISE-SELF-OSCILLATOR_W0QQitemZ280009358348QQihZ018QQcategoryZ308QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem but if that link doesn't work, just go to Ebay and type in smudgebox...
