"Mr. Sympathy's Review" Walt, I've always given you props here and I dig your very unique style and talents. But man I fell out laughing at the "Homeless in California". The line about looking into peoples windows...:D I know you were being sincere but it almost sounds like a parody! Sorry...

Super skanky! Insane bass track; well played, recorded and it sits right in the pocket with the kick. The key to the funk! Heatmiser is right about that lick at 1:45; as Little Richard says "It made my my big toe shoot right up into my boot!" Everything else is top rate as well. A fine example...

Wow! That was ice cold! Very cool, like an unreleased SpaceHog track or something. The synths and keys are amazing and the latin-ish bass groove is solid. B/V's are well sung and I have to say I dug the false ending! Very Beatley...Thanks Tod, I'm saving this one in my Mix Clinic MP3 folder.:D

As far as my taste in music go, it's a little too emo for me. Good, but not my thing; you do it well. The recording is quite interesting. The acoustic guitar and lead/backwards electric bits are cool. The lack of bass though makes the "spiky" quality of the vox more apparent in my view...

:) Well, like I said Maxell & the 688 helped; what really did it was that Peavey bass. Your technique and talent mean nothing in the grand scheme of things;)...

To be clear. I love the 488mkII and with decent engineering skills, dbx and good sources it can turn out great recordings, with totally negligible noise. I'm going to digital with the DP-02 to take advantage of the editing and just to be able to mix and match both formats in my demos. If I want...

Let me add this since the bass sound is getting such good reviews. First, I'll admit I'm biased because though I love analog period, I really love Tascam machines. I have a 488mkII that is getting on in years but still makes great recordings when a little time and TLC is used in the recording...

I love this idea man! 89.5 FUFM !

I dig it Pete. At first I thought the drum loop was too muffled, not present enough; as the song went on though they gel really well with the track and leave room for the acoustics to really shine. I personally like the bass pushed a bit upfront, especially if it's a clever line with groove and...

What a deal!!! Old SM57's usually sound better too! The road abuse helps the sound or something. Sh*t, here in Vegas there are tons of Pawn shops and there's a chain of stores called SuperPawn. Problem is they are too hep to what stuff is worth. They would NEVER let that a deal like that...

I was taught that reverb on bass guitar was a bad idea. In an extreme situation for effect I guess, but as a rule...not for me. I like the bass punchy, warm and clean. I hear where Steve is coming from (Entwhistle is one of my all time favorite bass players), but I prefer a dry, "woolly", round...

It was such a pleasure to listen to something recorded the "old school" way! I prefer to record just like you described; lay down a drum track, write the guitar and bass parts while listening to the drums, then when perfected lay them down, etc... I loved the moody quality to the track and the...

I can hear where the synth pop comparisons are coming from; very icy with a cool, aloof quality to the vocal. The chorus is great, nice melody. It does need a bridge or some type of arrangement change up IMO. I applaud you for trying different things and experimenting. I dug your stuff on your...

Epiphone Casino's are great guitars! The original Casinos made in the '60's were made by Gibson in the Kalamazoo, Michigan factory. The Casino was Epiphones cheaper version of a Gibson ES-330, basically a shorter scale 335 with no center block and P-90 pickups. I have two Casino's; a sunburst...

I like to use sampling sparingly as a sound creation tool and sometimes as a drum track supplement (additional hits, etc...). Anytime a sampler is used creatively to make new sounds I dig it; when it's used just to lift beats and sounds from existing recordings I feel it's cheap. Just an opinion...

Analog Analogy There has always been a valley between what the layman music lover will accept and what the audiophile/musician will accept when it comes to sound quality and the mediums those sounds are delivered on. I suspect as time goes on and technology gets better there will be even more...

Thanks for the link man! I love seeing how classic records were produced. Mix Magazines "Classic Tracks" feature is worth the magazine price alone. All the old articles are on the Mix website at www..mixonline.com/classic-tracks

I'm digging the new index page layout. Makes more sense IMO...

Great tones and a funky track! The stabby 7th chords on acoustic panned hard left and hard right are so cool! Some really tasteful leads as well. I'm digging it; write some words, fish out a melody and this could chart... Creep, I hear you on the bass part. So chunky and well played. I resisted...

Wow! Chris, I really dug this! The drums need help but other than that, alright! The drums sound like just the echo return is on. Interesting idea but this tune needs a driving groove to set with the bass and it will help balance the sound out. A little "mid mud" is present, but try mixing...
