I listened to both mixes and I can't come up with anything to bitch about. Either I don't have the speakers for it or I just like it the way it is. Cool song. I like rock with a blues edge. If you guys get all cranked up and do one in this vein at 4X the speed, be sure to post it, I'll put...

Definitely some static in the piano intro. Other than that, it's pretty much beyond reproach... by my standards, anyway. Personally I'd say there could be a just a little more boominess to the toms. By the way, are you a lefty? In the small-to-big tom roll in the beginning... I'm used to...

Kickass guitar tone, intro sounds awesome. Like the song... always pleased to hear some rock and roll on here. Personally, I'd lower the snare volume a smidgen. I think. My speakers suck, but the snare seems to stand out a little too much to me. And it's my personal preference to have the...

I actually read your comments after I did the remix... the others had made suggestions along the same lines. But I do appreciate them. They were apparently pretty accurate comments!

Magazine... I seem to remember this band from somewhere... some limey Elvis Costello fan mentioned them once or something. I went back and forth listening to yours and the original. You always seem to keep it pretty faithful to the original, unless you are doing Motorhead songs, of course...

Remix Here's a remix of Freedom Has Its Price. I did this completely in Reaper... I have little experience with it so I'd appreciate any comments on this compared to the first one I did. My intentions were to make the drums and bass more prominent and lower the guitars, which I think I did...

Thanks, man. Just did a remix of the other one (Freedom Has Its Price) and I think I pretty much did all this stuff to it. Not having much Reaper experience I think it may have come out a little muffled-sounding, but maybe the original wasn't muffled enough! I've thought about that myself...

I actually didn't know what "take some pains" meant... you know how dense we Americans generally are. I can tell from this subsequent comment that it means something along the lines of "put some effort into it and pay attention to detail". The goading is actually very kind of you. I believe...

Yeah, I did ATYD for one of my best friends who asked for it. I call him "little buddy", though he's not little... we constantly rip on each other and that's a nickname I came up with for him because it sounds disparaging and disrespectful. That nonsense at the end of the song was ad libbed...

I mistakenly clicked on the first thing in your autosignature, "lost memories". It was excellent. Then I clicked on the one you actually posted. Great, but not as good as the first one I clicked on.

This isn't the kind of thing I'd really listen to, but I have to recognize it as a really good song, musically and lyrically. Nice voice, too. I also hate traffic... the song speaks to me in that regard. I must hate it more than you, though, because I'd need a lot more profanity and louder...

Hello, friends. These are a couple songs I did a month or two ago, some of the last I was able to do before I had to temporarily abandon my instruments and stop recording. While I used my DP-24 for the recording and mixing of these, I have the raw tracks on my computer, and I need something to...

I agree with much of what I've seen so far. Good song, good singing. I'm not listening on good speakers, but the kick sounds heavy and the snare is too quiet... a louder one could add some punch. I'd like to hear it once you do it with real drums. Second link sounds better to me... ditto...

Hello, Bubba! Good to see someone else does not tolerate difficult-to-spell Germanic names, including portmanteaus of multiple Germanic names. The mental image I always got of "Schwarzenyaeger" was Arnold flying a fighter jet. I probably mentioned that somewhere before. Dog In Door, how...

I wasn't going to post anything in the actual music forums until I could start recording again myself, but I gave this a listen while I was sitting outside smoking and decided to give my opinion on this. Keep in mind that I have no formal education in music, I just know what I like and don't...

Thanks for the comments. I remixed it with heavier bass and kick. I never heard this song before. Not that bad, though. I can get down with some '70s garbage. I never knew any Mott The Hoople songs (I'm sure I'd heard some in my life, but I never knew that they were the ones playing...

Thanks for the comments. As you mentioned, there's nothing I can do about the mix, so I was just wondering if anyone else found the song as amusing as I thought it was when I did it. As far as "slanderous"... well, I didn't mean to besmirch Gary in any way. I was sort of channeling my...

I've bitched about how country music sucks before, but I guess I really meant "modern" country, which is pretty much just pop crap with dickheads faking southern accents. I experience it relatively often when the rednecks at the bar tire of my barrage of Motorhead and Bad Religion on the...

From having heard some of his other songs, I'd guess that your biggest changes to the mix from stuff he normally does is louder rhythm guitars during the verses (and maybe something different with the panning, I can't really tell with my shitty speakers) and a quieter kick drum. Mix is good...

The thread title is an homage to one of the best lines of an excellent movie (Platoon), which happens right after King gets in the helicopter to leave Vietnam for good. Forgive the verbosity of this post. I can't say that it will be worth the time you spend reading it, but what the hey. I'm...
