I'm just catching up on a load of stuff. This is really nice, and I actually like it better than some of your other stuff. I mean, you're obviously extremely talented and all your tracks are very well put together, but this one actually touched me more than the others I've heard. Very nice...

I downloaded this a while ago, so apologies for not responding sooner. It's a beautiful wee piece of music. Gentle, warm, understated playing and a very strong vocal. Good song too. I really like this, and it's probably my favourite of yours that I've heard. Very nice. I don't know if...

I'm in I'm in. Is there a prize? ;)

Excellent clarity and separation of all the elements. How do you do that? Great arrangement and vocal performances. The song itself is good, but not my favourite of yours. I think the snare drum is a little too "muffled" sounding - I'd like to hear a wee bit more "snap". The vocal sound is...

Great thread. Some random thoughts: I love music. I think of myself as a songwriter and a guitar player. I can't sing, I can't engineer, I can't produce. I can't play bass, drums or keyboards. I can't tap dance, either. What do I want? To create recorded music that is good enough (in...

Without reading the other replies, here are my first reactions: 1 - a little nasal, honky, warm but too much in the mids 2 - natural, lighter - very listenable, the most "hairs on the back of the neck" 3 - neutral but lacking character, not enough strength or "body" 4 - very similar to 2, very...

Fantastic. The Pixies do a theme tune for a 70s cop show starring Ren and Stimpy. I really loved this - totally mental. Believe it or not I do have a couple of mix comments - take them with a pinch of salt, mind. There's a hole where the bass guitar should be - is this deliberate? I think...

I think the solo guitar (wah/distortion) could cut through a wee bit more. Lt. Bob is a very good sax player, but I also like your guitar solo. It's your call. :) AB

Pedullist - thank you for listening again. And yes, I did have a bit of a cold! M.Brane - thank you too. The vocal is heavily comp'ed together, so I had the opportunity to take the breath sounds out, but I left them in deliberately because I think a vocal with no breath sounds can sound a bit...

Very smooth and well recorded Love the bass playing. Excellent vocal, especially the harmonies and the bit from 2:54 on. Guitar playing nice - maybe a tiny bit more edge on the sound? Agree the drum sound could be bigger, but the playing is good. Good stuff. AB

Kelly5150 - thank you for listening again, and sticking with this track. I'm pleased you think it's an improvement. With the outro I was actually going for a kind of uneasy, lop-sided feel. The violins are actually the same as the previous bits in the track, but played backwards. It gives it...

Pure talent, mate. You know I love your stuff - for what it's worth I think this is one of your best. Very clear sound, classic and effective arrangement, and the best harmonies I've heard you do. It's cheesy in a good way. :) And the "now..." bit is a moment of pure genius. Give me a...

Hi all Well, I've posted a new version here: http://www.nowhereradio.com/brr/singles It's called "Lost and Found v3". I've made a huge number of changes - essentially I've taken every suggestion on this thread and done my best to do it right! Also, I bought a pair of decent monitors and the...

tmix - thank you for sticking with this one - I appreciate it. And thanks for the tip re micing vilins - I'll try that with the outro. Pedullist - thank you for taking the time to post. You and flat-9 have convinced me - I'm going to try and soften the A! Glad you like the song. muzeman -...

crawdad - I'll definitely put the effort in and automate those levels! mixmkr - thank you very much for listening and posting. I greatly appreciate it. Glad you like the song. You're absolutely right about the compression - I tend to hide my lack of technique behind very heavy compression...

Steven - I'm speechless. I've said it before, but I'd happily exchange all the technical ability in the world if I can make music that "touches" folk. You've made my day (my year, actually) with your incredibly kind and encouraging comments. And I do really appreciate all the positive stuff...

dobro - thanks for the explanation. The sculptor was definitely right. :) Looking forward to hearing your CD... flat-9 - I think I now (at last) know what note you're talking about. It's the high A! :) What threw me is that on my sequencer it's at 0:08, not 0:10. I wonder if I've done...

Hi all I've posted a second mix here: http://www.nowhereradio.com/brr/singles It's called "Lost and Found v2". I took into account all the excellent ideas and comments from this thread, and ended up doing a complete remix from scratch. Basically I've used much more natural EQ (essentially...

Guernica - great to hear from you. I'm glad you like the darkness. :) I'm definitely struggling with the reverb on this one, but there have been some great ideas in this thread, so hopefully version 2 will be better. I'm really pleased you like this one - it's always a compliment, and even...

That's absolutely fantastic. It's totally not my kind of music, but the playing is so good it's just ridiculous! The programming is also great, and you've got a nice clean sound. But really - that playing is ridiculous! :) Cheers AB PS Is that a real organ or a virtual synth?
