    Monster Intercontinental Collaboration :)

    Lovely! Great vocals (lead and BVs), great sax, great solid bass. Very impressive collab. Cheers AB

    Our first effort! Be gentle lol!

    I enjoyed it. Good melody, some nice harmonies, lots of variety. Kind of Coral-y. A slightly looser/more relaxed feel to the drum fills might be nice. I love the way the start of the chorus vocal overlaps with the end of the verse vocal. Singing is strong, mix sounds well balanced, love the...

    "Sunday" - comments welcome

    Happy New Year! There's a new track available here: http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=1715&alid=-1 It's called "Sunday". My brother Shug wrote the song, and does all the vocals, the saxes, and the picked guitars. I did the strummed guitars, bass, tambourine and production...

    New tune with bad cymbals!

    I really enjoyed this. You have a wonderful voice, and the piano is perfect. I liked the strings too. The cymbals don't do anything for me - I'd vote to lose them! Nice song, too. One slight comment on the voice (and bear in mind this is coming from me, and I really can't sing at all, so...

    Demo

    Hi macle Hope this finds you and Max well. :) Good song, very well performed. Nice to hear one of yours before it gets the final polish. It sounds great already. There's a strange chorus-thing on the main vocal - close double tracking? Autotune? Chorus? Whatever, it's a little...

    Lost And Found... mix help

    I just loved this. The drums sound great - please tell me they're real! :) Great singing. The first part of the chorus is a little OTT for my taste, but very impressive. The verses and the second half of the chorus (carried my cross) is perfect. The octave-doubling on the second verse is...

    "My Heart Sinks" - comments welcome

    Doug H - thanks, glad you like it. I can hear the low-end problem too, but I can't pin it down. I'll try tweaking the guitars a wee bit. Jagular - nice to hear from you again, and thank you for the great compliment. WATYF - great to hear from you too, glad it's to your taste. I'll try and...

    Run For Your Life- Final?

    Glorious. Probably the best I've heard you sound. Pedullist's bass is superb. Hope real life gets better. Cheers AB

    Further exploration in electronica

    I loved it, and it couldn't be further from the kind of stuff I usually listen to! :) Ambience is perfect, and gives a layer of beauty/pathos that lifts the track. Bass is predictably impressive and tight. Click/pop things are weird - I've never heard that done before, and you introduce it...

    I ran out of soda, will buy some more tomorrow

    Very nice. Interesting arrangement and structure, great singing. The lead guitar playing is top notch, and the tone is perfect, but I think it needs less reverb - it should be further forward when the solos take centre stage. The most recent mix is MUCH better - everything is breathing more...

    The First Night

    This is great. I love the laid-back feel, and the verse is really good. I definitely hear Tom Petty. There is some pitchiness on some of the vocals, especially the long notes in the chorus. Personally I like it, it sounds honest, but if you can tighten it up (or cheat with Autotune like I...

    Dealing with the loss of a loved one

    This is excellent - a very touching song, and I don't think it's cliche - it's just simple and honest. The piano sounds great. Lovely singing, and the backing vocals are beautiful and sparingly used. Strings sound great too, and I love the wee synth thing in the earlier verses too. Comments...

    The Rains, not so dry mix

    I like this. Some really good sounds and a real "atmosphere". I'd like to hear the "song" parts develop - more verses and choruses to balance out the instrumental sections. This is just my taste, though. The acoustic guitar needs a wee bit of sparkle or breathing space - it sounds slightly...

    "My Heart Sinks" - comments welcome

    Kelly5150 - thank you, glad you liked it! powderfinger - thanks for listening. The drums are the BlueJay soundfonts from www.sonicimplants.com, and the "programming" is mainly SlicyDrummer and FillinDrummer from www.musiclab.com, with a wee bit of manual tweaking by me. There's a little...

    "My Heart Sinks" - comments welcome

    Wow, thanks everyone. It's always a pleasure to come back to HR. erichenryus - I really appreciate that you always listen and post - thank you. The level on the intro lead guitar has been up and down like a yoyo - looks like it should come down a little. Yes, the post-mix processing (aka...

    "My Heart Sinks" - comments welcome

    Hi all I've been away for a while (real life, and all that) but now I've got a new song here: http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=1715&alid=-1 It's called "My Heart Sinks" and it's about forgiveness, or the lack of it. I would be very grateful for comments and suggestions on...

    A CaPelt Ya'

    The a capella with the centre lead vocal is my favourite. Jaimee's voice is just getting better and better. I hope you both realise how talented she is. This is a top quality performance, really really good. And Chris' stuff was OK. ;) Cheers AB

    Please Mix This - A Challenge (really, very challenging)

    Congratulations on listening to so many mixes! I don't like what I did to the main vocal either! I didn't use any chorus, so I must have done something stupid with the reverb. Doh! Thanks for the comments - I've learned a lot from doing this. :) Cheers AB

    Really nice, vocal sounds great, left guitar should be quieter, very Coldplay, harmonies would be nice. :) Great stuff. Cheers AB

    a friend of mine

    Pure dead gallus. Lots of great ideas, nice vocal. Percussion is too loud. Whistling is cool. Cheers AB
