    "The Gravity of Us" - does my voice work or should I get someone else to sing?

    Those are good recommendations. I'll get to studying. I've taken the reverb off the voice and fixed the drum late snare. I'll clean up the rest this week. Thank you once again for your help.

    "The Gravity of Us" - does my voice work or should I get someone else to sing?

    Thanks for your time and feedback, everyone. Looks like the mix is like a Degobah swamp. I'll do some surgery on it. I really appreciate your time and ears.

    Help clean up this Toad-like indie song

    You guys are awesome for taking the time to listen to this and provide all this feedback - it really makes this endeavour worthwhile. I've taken on all the advice: removed most of the effects from vox, brought up backing vox, reduced effects on the electric guitar and dropped one of the...

    Help clean up this Toad-like indie song

    Anders and ido1957, thank you for the feedback. I think those are very useful suggestions. I'm a bit of wimp about panning and need to just jump off the fence on that one. The filters are also a good idea as I don't use those as much as I should. Combining those with the EQ ideas from Anders...

    Help clean up this Toad-like indie song

    So this borrows from a lot of Toad The Wet Sprocket songs in my view but I decided to embrace it and have fun with it. I'd love any feedback on it whatsoever but my current concern is teasing the instruments apart a little bit more and getting it a little less muddy. Thoughts? Toad Song by...

    REM-type song - need arrangement advice

    OK. I've taken on all the advice and I have: 1. dried up the vocals 2. cut a little over a minute from the song 3. pared down the piano 4. tried to make the drums bigger but still not quite what I wanted Overall, a big improvement thanks to all of you. Much, much appreciation for listening and...

    REM-type song - need arrangement advice

    I think you're right about the vocals being too reverby (dobro made a similar point). The effect is very low in the mix (10%) on vintage plate reverb but I think a lot of the room might have come in with it. I'll take it right down. Thank you so much for the feedback. (as for the Moody...

    REM-type song - need arrangement advice

    I appreciate your honesty. I agree the bass line has some bum notes and doesn't have much of a melody. Thanks for taking the time to listen. I'm not sure I agree with you entirely but I do agree that the piano and mandolin are occasionally just clutter rather than garnish so I'll rethink...

    REM-type song - need arrangement advice

    I think I agree with you - especially on the drums. I'm using studio drummer so i'm still working out how the EQ and compression works for the individual drum kit items. You're right it currently lacks that umph! in the drums and chorus that would make the choruses and the lead up into the...

    REM-type song - need arrangement advice

    I agree. I'm going to make the painful choices and maybe cut one of the verses. I truly appreciate you listening to the song and giving feedback. There's something about people you don't know listening to the songs that makes them suddenly live.

    REM-type song - need arrangement advice

    Great advice. I'll get out the scalpel and try out your ideas. Thank you so much for listening and giving thoughtful feedback - as you know, it makes all the difference in the world to have another set of interested ears! Thank you.

    REM-type song - need arrangement advice

    Go ahead and tear this apart on both mix and arrangement. I think it's just too damn long for my liking and I only want to keep the vital bits. I won't prejudice your opinion by telling you what I think should go - just tell me what to cut and any advice on the mix and/or tracking would be...

    Mix check - We Can Do Anything

    I dig it. I agree with the main vox comment though - great voice but overpowering a really nice foundation that deserves to be heard.
