Wow, Chris, that was brave! It was a real pleasure to have access to the individual tracks fo one of your songs. And I'm completely unfamiliar with the genre, so that made mixing it a real challenge. Juliet mixed by alibish First things first: great song, typically excellent lyrics, nice...

Love it. A bit more complex than your usual arrangements. Nice wee bits of ear candy. The "Come Together" shoop is cool, but maybe a wee bit loud and a wee bit overused? I like the snippets of distorted guitars. And the best bit is when the stereo-panned vocals shift from unison to...

Wow. That is fantastic. It's a great song, and I love what you've done with it. Light and shade in spades. You have a beautiful voice, and a great ear for arrangement. I agree that the main vocal could live with a tiny bit less reverb. The "And you understand" bit - a cool trick is to only...

The higher bit rate version is a bit clearer. Also, the song is growing on me. :) I'd recommend compressing the main vocal quite a bit, and have it a bit louder in the mix. I'd move the "strummed" guitar out to the right hand side quite a lot, and cut the lows/mids (try 3-6 dB cut below...

Good song. Reminds me of The Cure (which is a good thing ;) ). The sound is very muffled - possibly a wrong setting on the noise reduction on the cassette player? The drums and vocal suffer particularly from a lack of sparkle. The tambourine sounds much brighter than the rest - was it...

Mark7 - I'd definitely be up for a collab - let me know when would suit you. I'm paired with BlueBearSound for the HRC Challenge, but after that would be cool. I'll post some comments on your song in your thread. kormaniac - thank you for your very kind words. You're about the third or...

Love the screaming bits. Maybe a bit of distortion on those parts would "dirty" it up a bit? Also, I'd like to hear the delay a bit more on the screams. Maybe a wee touch more reverb too? Love the chorus-y guitar riff. I think the timing "drags" a wee bit occasionally on the riff? There's...

Jagular - German? GERMAN? No, it's bloody Sco... Oh wait, now I see. ;) Thanks for listening. I'm really glad you like the song. I'm going to try and clean up the mud a bit for the next mix. And the drums will come up a bit. Mark7 - thank you for the cool comments - it's a major...

Re: a wee tickle? Nothing - he made it up. ;) PS - Your voice is sounding great, Erland. I love the way it breaks up on the high notes - really cool throaty sound. Song's good too. Now stop making fun of the nice Americans. :) Cheers AB

dobro, Khompewtur - :) erland - thank you - it's great to know you're listening, and that you're enjoying the song. PS I didn't get your PM. Cheers AB

dobro - hi again. I loved your post - it's a work of art in itself. Also, thanks for the relationship advice! ;) Glad you liked the balance - as I said before I can't do 100% lovey-dovey so I have to put a wee edge into it. But I'm really glad it comes across the right way, 'cos I love her...

erichenryus - thank you very much, and great to hear from you again. How are you? I think the vocal thing might be RubyTube again - I tend to be a bit liberal with the limiter. Danny Chung - thank you very much for taking the time to listen and post, and I'm chuffed you like the tune. The...

Chris - great to hear from you again. Really glad you like this one. Yeah, I noticed a lot of "brain dart" sibilance. I've toned it down as much as I can, but any more and the clarity started suffering. I'm sure a lot of it is my vocal technique, but the lyrics are also pretty "s"-heavy...

Hi Erland Just to let you know that I won't be able to listen for a week or so, but I'll listen to all 33 when I get back! Cheers AB PS Hope you got my PM re the website.

Stratomaster - thank you very much for your kind words. For me the giveaway is that the vocals are in tune; remember, I've heard the original takes! Actually, I find that it's not too obvious on the main vocal (although there are occasional clicks at the starts of vocal phrases) but the...

joro - thanks for the explanation. I'll turn up the bass a bit. I tend to like fading stuff in and out through the course of a track, but maybe it's a bit naff? mbuster - thanks for the great advice. Usually I record my guitars through the Pod, so I have to choose the sound before I start...

Wow, thank you to everyone who listened and posted. macle - yep, the guitars are all modelled. Any tips on how to reduce the mud? I had taken more lows off, but it made them sound a bit thin. The bits where the vocals are exposed - well, it's always a big risk with my vocals. :) I really...

Hi all I've got a new song here: http://www.nowhereradio.com/brr/singles It's called "Excellent Girl" and it's an attempt at a love song. I'd be very grateful for any comments or suggestions on writing, performance, mixing, etc. Cheers AB

Love your voice, love the song, love the rawness. Riff is great, too. I've been listening back to a couple of your older ones (the "quarter in a coffee cup" one, and the "plain as hell" one) and they're really good. You have a very distinctive style, which I like a lot. Cheers AB

I'm catching up after a busy period in real life. And I've missed a load of good stuff. Chris - this was a real surprise. It sounds great. Err, wait, that didn't come out right... ;) The surprise was the style - very (alt) poppy, and hardly country at all. Good song, good hook, great...
