My comments above were made on the original low bit rate MP3. Some of what I heard was artifact. Some , not. It does sound more open with less compression. I still don't care for piezo sound acoustics though. Again.. much talent is evident here.

The vocals are quite muddy sounding, lacking definition. The song needs much less compression. It's a good song, just needs some stuff. Go back to your original tracks. Take all the processing off of them. Now, using primarily subtractive EQ as minimally as possible, make the tracks sound as...

I love this song. Great lyrical style and nice melody. I think you are going to need to break down and use a real bass. It will be worth it. Vocal... hmm. Needs some multiband compression to tame the highs a tad. Maybe a splash of a nice EMT plate verb? Just enough to barely hear it.

I'm really interested in lyrical content. I must admit that this is unusual. Is this referencing Medusa? I'm trying to understand. Now... the recording itself. Drums are so dark that they sound kind of like bongos. The vocal is buried in the mix. I like to put new strings on my guitars...

Hmm, I'm wondering if my HF hearing loss is getting worse? Too much high end? I'll try scaling back some of the HF multiband compression. I really appreciate the comments. I had a fiddle part that I played but I trashed it as just plain painfull!:D

Here is a tune that was very difficult on a personal level. As a disabled veteran, I come into contact with many older vets at the VA hospital. One day, walking in, I noticed a sad, older vet, sitting in his wheelchair, just staring off into space. This touched me at some level and of course, I...

ooops... duplicate post... Hey! It's in stereo!

Vocal could come up some. There is a bit too much proximity effect on the vocals for me, but that is taste. Pretty daughter!

Wow... This is really incredible. I have some very tiny nitpicks... the acoustic start... sound very piezo to me and not organic. Other than that... my hat's off to you. Very professional sounding work. radio ready. Oh yeah... I love the panned guitar with the wah!

Hey Greg.. you are my new hero! I love this stuff. Excellent playing, excellent recording. Out of curiosity, did I buy a cabinet from you last year with 2x12 weber alnicos? We met at the randalls parking lot at 290 and Cypress/Fairbanks. I don't recall the guys name, but he was all about surf...

I spent some time with this again last night after seeing other folks take on the low end. I think what I perceive as a lack of low end, is the bass patch you are using. When I listen to the tune, the chunk guitars sound as if they have more bottom end then the bass. To me, the bass is just...

Thanks guys. I appreciate the feedback. I had two hours last night to work on music, but I had an idea for another song and worked on it:o I'm hoping to stay home this weekend while my wife goes shopping and work on this. I have perhaps, 15 or so tunes that are scratch recordings only that I...

Hey... I took my grandson to see "Horton Hears a Hoo" last Saturday. :D I am listening to the one dated today. I went back and listened to the first one too. It is improved, but still not there. It almost sounds like the drummer was using it sans snare. Personally, I prefer a dry, short snappy...

I really like this but the snare is still not quite right for my ears. I like a fairly tight snare sound that doesn't ring. Your snare is almost a tom like sound. At some places in the mix, it works, but when the snare is prominent it doesn't. Here is an idea... Try placing a very quick fade...

I am listening on cans at work. Let me listen this evening. But yes, I think the low end is a bit deficient. Still, fun tune.

Good mix... very organic sounding guitars. What are you doing for drums here? I really like them. The ending does not match the rest of the song. Kind of abrubt/petering out. Good Stuff.

Mower metal? :p Ok, vocals... actually, seems to meld with this style of tune. I would experiment with different eq's and compression settings and stick a nice plate reverb on it. The bass? Are you playing one? Bottom end seems missing. The song itself is interesting in a kind of John...

These kids are quite good. I really don't care for the snare sound at all. It is dull and needs some serious punching up and a touch of reverb. I think the overheads on the cymbals are the tiniest bit too hot. Overall, this is an excellent recording that is quite nice. I kept waiting for Bono...

Thanks for that Rohan... I do hear that and keep meaning to go back and fix it. I did try to use Audio snap but wound up with a jumbled mess! No, there are some intermittent timing mistakes as well as a couple of guitar and bass mistakes that I am aware of. I appreciate the comments. My biggest...

Ok guys... I appreciate ALL of the comments and suggestions. New mix up with a couple of lyric changes as well. Instead of "He's so old" it's He's my God. Last line is changed to Lord I'm blessed and the bluebird sure does sing. Mix changes Bottom end up a tad Slight eq tweak of entire mix...
