    Mixdown of our band - feedback please

    I wish I were in a pub listening to that. Very cool. Only _tiny_ niggle is that the drums need to come out a bit more, particularly the bottom end, and Mike's vox lose a bit of motivation just a couple of times -- most probably because he's also doing a fine job playing bass. But that's being...

    Corny Pop tune alert....!

    Great song RAMI. I'd like to hear it with a bit more bottom end to the vocals. You have a high voice that works well for all your rock tunes. But on this one it would be cool to thicken up the bottom end with a doubled low part -- perhaps even spoken, if that's what it takes! You might have...

    7 years - new mix

    Yeh! This is a cool arrangement. It's a perfect song. It just needs mix tweaking -- again. The balance is all wrong so that the bass end dominates and the vocals are tiny. Somebody who knows something about anything must be able to suggest exactly what's wrong, coz once you sort that out...

    Career Suicide

    Great song Sink, but I can only agree with earlier posters: the guitars and brassware overwhelm the song. Don't get to hear the lyrics -- which I'm sure are pretty good, going by the general vibe. Ciao aspiring

    Need your suggestions. must do Hi-fi stream for now

    No matter about the echo lines, Freudian (although maybe you could post photos of the underwear arrangements you went through in the process :)): the new version sounds great! The fuller acoustic and lead fills close up that sonic gap I was talking about. Guitar and vox now sound much better...

    Need your suggestions. must do Hi-fi stream for now

    Hey Freudian Cool song. Well worth finishing... Although the guts of the song is great, I'll just pull out a few (personal) niggles. Songwriting: I want to hear a second echoed "Just like" after most of those "Just likes". Otherwise there's a sonic gap. Not sure whether that might make it...

    new one to check out: "Not That Bad"

    hey famous dog Really nice song. I can only echo those comments about the synths and stuff though. Although I like the synth sounds you used (I want to start playing with stuff like that myself), they don't seem to work too well in this song. Maybe too many, too long, or just wrong...

    Tie Your Mother Down Nakatira on Vocals

    Hey, I really loved that. I don't usually listen to many covers coz I listen to music looking for something novel (musical or otherwise). But...this is a great song, and I thought with that talent it's bound to be great. And it was. Rocked the ol' house here this Sunday morning. Thanks for...

    hey there, what do you think of this?

    chale teh saath milkar is an interesting song. Cool sounds. Reminds me of a crazy bus ride through the night across the Karakoram Highway (and parts of London). It all sounds interesting and cohesive enough for me, except that "flangey" vocal effect. To me, it sounds too strong and more like...

    Could I get an opinion on this mix?

    Hi This is pretty good. Nice work. But the intro is too long. And the drums do strange distracting things throughout the song. So it doesn't really gel. But I do like all of the sounds you've used. I think you need to "focus" the song and its arrangement...then send it back please :)...

    Acoustic version of a heavier song I did awhilea go

    Hey, that's a nice arrangement of that song. In general, I like it better than the heavy version. But...I'm gonna be negative (I've got at least one of your songs on my portable mp3 player, so I'm allowed to be super critical :)). For me, those vocals just don't sit with an acoustic sound...

    Final mix of a song a posted here a while ago

    Cool song Chatt Pretty pro on my low-fi set up. The brief middle-8 (or whatever @ ~4:02 -- and tailout) lead lines were bit low in level and therefore seemed a little lost, but otherwise...great. Is that your SR16 on drums? aspiring

    Some new songs of mine, 'easy' listen (not rap / metal / new age)

    Hey Joepie Better late than never... You're right.. somehow I've clicked on the wrong song! The Morning Shows is a great song. I was listening to Today, Tomorrow. I guess it sounds a bit too morbid. Perhaps the melody needs a bit of a rewrite. The descending sequence gives it its...

    New Update

    Och aye, that's mighty fine. I really like all bits of that tune. Vox and guitars almost sounded like my old kiwi favourites The Tall Dwarfs. But yours remains unique. I suppose it would be interesting to hear a version with MORE vox. But I like it as is with them low. Very choice. Thanks...

    Mixed pop punk song

    Great song and performance. I'm looking forward to hearing this with the panning all sorted out. But, yeah, I could also hear a version where the drum intro starts out LHS before the song kicks in, when everything centres. That's a good idea. Get on to it. aspiring

    Here's a final mix of a new song, "Cancer"

    Such a bright song for such a sombre topic -- or is it? That's a great lively mix. Perhaps some of the guitar lines could be tamed a little -- then they could come up in the mix without crowding? Otherwise you will have to keep them down low where they sound a little introverted and maybe...

    Tell me what you think of this Pop punk/indie/emo tune!

    Hey, that intro is a really cool marketing idea: made me loop the track straight away to check whether I'd just heard one song or two. And I'm still not sure... Your mix sounds great on my $19 work pc speakers -- which is how I listen to most of these HRs. And the song just woke me up enough...

    Listen To Your Heart

    Hey ido Nice songwriting. Cool tune that works really well. You always have a very "smooth" style (vox and guitars). That certainly works. But sometimes I'd love both of these to be "roughed up a bit" :D Maybe you could go out on the turps or something and then try another version of...

    Libertines style song

    Is that what the Libertines sound like? I've heard of them... Once this song starts it sounds pretty good. But something in that intro doesn't quite click for me with timing issues and all those "tinky" cymbals. But as I've already admitted above, I don't get to listen to much of this kind...

    "Boxy" That is a good description of that guitar sound on Only to find. Whereas the vocals are lush. So while this is a great tune, for me, the lush vox don't quite fit with the boxy guitars. It could be worth experimenting with different FX levels to try and balance the two. Both lush...
