    My Freaky Lawyer

    It sounds great, much better than I could capture from mine. It also cost me about £120. I keep meaning to get a new one but my passion lies with electrics. :)

    Better Off Dead

    Thanks for the reply and the kind words! The verse rhythm guitar is right up the centre. Do you mean the build up just before the chorus or the chorus? They're the only doubled tracked parts. Or are you hearing something in the verse? Could you tell me specifically where the guitar sounds...

    My Freaky Lawyer

    You've got a cool ska punk kinda of tone in your voice, sounds great. The drum performance is excellent, but I think the snare could do with a bit more snap. Guitar sound great in the mix. Acoustic sounds good. You did well to hit those notes at the beginning, I'd be struggling! Backing vocals...

    Delilah: New Song. Rough mix.

    Backing vocals are definitely less separated. Much better IMO. Nice lead work, some nice phrases. Mix sounds quite nice to me, the lead part at 4:26 seems a bit loud in the mix for me. I think the song should fade out at the end, not sure if it's meant to end abruptly. The vocal performance is...

    One more from my last effort

    The section from 1.00 to 1.10 seems to have a few timing issues, they're fairly obvious to me. Lyrics would really elevate this song, it's not something that grabs my attention in its current state, and I think you have an excellent platform to tell a story. The acoustic guitar sounds great...

    Any noughts on the new composition? I've noticed a couple of thing I need to even out though.

    Just a question about Compression Ratio.

    Don't worry. It's true. ;)

    Nah I'm agreeing with you. I've re recorded them. In fact I've done a lot to it today! Changed all the vocals. It sounds like the same person is singing it now, I've double tracked a lot of it, I've changed the middle section, added a full solo and some other stuff. Thoughts? Thanks...

    Thanks matey. :)

    Just a question about Compression Ratio.

    Yea I've just tested it and you're right. What I've been doing at times is bringing the whole session down so that it's not too loud for mastering (this is probably a confused statement) and then redoing all the compression. Now I don't have to! What a waste of time! Thanks though!

    Hmm. I recorded both verses on different days lol.

    Just a question about Compression Ratio.

    I thought that's where the threshold comes into play? Like, if I set the fader at -20dB, it won't react until then, whereas if I put it at -5dB I'd have to set the threshold higher, or am I totally wrong and it's based on the actual input level before fader adjustment? I'm guessing it's the latter!

    Like I Knew You Would - Synth driven pop

    I'm a big Future Islands fan, do you know them? They've given the whole synth pop genre a massive boost recently. Some of the vocals seem to fit a little bit unnaturally on top for times, I agree that the acoustic isn't coming through as well as it should, the snare sounds a bit unnatural too...

    Final mix check - Thank You

    I'm not a fan of the drums, they feel a bit too rushed for this song. A bit less on the hi hat would suit it better in my opinion. I think you could do a little better with some of the phrasing on the lead lines. The accompanying acoustic lines are quite good, although they follow the scale a...

    Happy Sober (Indie Rock)

    Nice tune. Acoustic guitars sound good, are they double tracked? Kick drum sounds great. I can hear the bass quite well on my system. I like this song. I do hear a lot of songs that I wouldn't think are out of place if I heard them on the radio, this is one of them.

    Please give it a listen

    I listened to Awaken. I didn't find a huge amount of direction in the beginning. I'm not sure how well it fit. I liked the sound of the guitar, and after the beginning it started to pick up a bit and it sounded fairly nice. The mix was pretty balanced, the bass fit really well and complimented...

    Just a question about Compression Ratio.

    A quick question - Is this okay to do? For example, I've compressed a vocal track and then raised the gain to match the original input, and then afterwards I realise that I need to maybe change the volume of the compressed track, instead of then just raising the volume via the fader, which...

    Better Off Dead

    Thanks for all your replies guys. There's lots of good stuff here. This is a song that I brought to my band just before we split up, and it sounded great, full of energy and stuff, and I guess I feel that I'm trying to recreate that here, but I feel it's not quite there. TripleM - drums are...
