Hi I especially like the percussive/delayed synth that does that ascending descending "hook" motif. Great to hear something without guitar that holds together (for me) as a whole song. Coz I'm about to try something like that myself. Is most of this a real synth, or VST or other soft synth...

Hi there. Yeah, definitely best not to ask people to go easy. What use is that to you? You might as well ask your mother what she thinks :) Better to be a pro and recognize the difference between criticizing the work and criticizing you. That is if you really want to know how to make your...

Hey, I like this! And I'm happy with it just as it is. I've recently packed my guitars and recording gear into some boxes and sent them to the other side of the world -- literally. I'm just left with one little Alesis analog synth. And although it's fun to doodle with, I'm stuck trying to...

dcall, I like your voice! And great topic :) Lots of interesting parts in the arrangement. I'd like to hear more of the bass. But perhaps my only real niggle would be that it all sounds a bit "programmed". A bit midi perfect. Whereas your voice sounds so natural in comparison. I reckon...

Hey, I've heard this before! And from memory, this sounds like the mastering/remixing has really sharpened it up. Although... ...perhaps the original pre mastered version had that amateurish feel that might actually sit better with that punkisk cacophony :) Who knows? Whatever, you've got...

I agree with RAMI. Great voice dude. You must have been doin' this sort of stuff for a while, right? With a voice like that, you've gotta hang a mic over that guitar, find a drummer and bass twiddler (or some way to improvise them), and get some tunes down. Great stuff. Have fun aspiring

Nice Gorty. I particularly like the acoustic vs electric arrangement. But I agree with our previous pal too: crank that bass! Or maybe that's just my crap work pc speakers :) And I'm sure you know better than me (from your background in this style of muzak) how everything should sound...

Cool song Cincy. Very laid back Sunday morning. I like it. I'm not in an acoustically "sound" environment right now, so I can't comment on the mix. Unless you want to hear how it sounds over a washing machine on full spin :) But one of my housemates just asked "Whose that singing?" So...

Hi Beagle Cool. I've still got your "That's what I'd Say" kicking around on a comp CD I play a lot. Great to have some more. I can't really comment on the mix. Except that everything is cutting through a washing machine, boiler pump, and 7 housemates sittiing around me right now :) All on...

Hi Steve Man that is a lot of compression! Especially the drums. That's a good example if somebody ever wants to know what compression sounds like. The song itself sounds OK, and the vox sound fine to me. Maybe if you could reduce all that compression on drums and some of the core...

Hi ido Another great song. Nice and punchy. I guess the vox are a tiny bit too loud for the rest -- and I do like up-front vocals. The rest of the mix sounds great. Cheers aspiring

Hey Brian -- Great stuff. I downloaded "Something better" way back when you first posted it here and have been playing it ever since. In fact, my woman and I have just driven 1300 miles looping a comp CD crammed with stuff from folks here and your song is one of those that sticks in your head...

I use CDex and the operation of it may seem confusing. When you run it, the application window pops up on the screen. Just drag your wav file into the big white file area -- this will cause a popup dialog to appear with a few options on it. Click the one that says something like "Encode and...

Well it's still a great song. I only listen hear at work on my work PC speakers and I can't even find your yell let alone the distortion? But cool tune. You obviously churn out enough stuff I wouldn't worry too much about overtweaking each one. However, I like a challenge, so just now I...

Phew! Hugs, or even "mad", are better than a stabbing :) Guess you are left with chopping up your drum track and importing individual loops. Which would be OK. Get to choose the good bits. Keep them tight. You know, if you chopped up the whole stereo drum track into bars, you could import...

Another great song Sean. It works really well. Just needs cleaning and brightening, as the others have suggested. I wonder if once you cleaned up all the parts and gave them more of their own space in the mix there would be more space for the vox parts. It would be good if you could leave...

Hey. Great song! It's tough to tell till you stick that bass in and remix. However, for me, the guitar intro was a bit long (nearly lost interest before the good stuff). I'd chop that in half. The RHS guitar sounds too thin. But that is prob due to lack of bass? I don't know. "Shine" is...

Hi bardo Man those are big sounding drums! Cool song. Cool arrangement. For me, the vox -- in particular -- are too lost in all that reverb and EQ. Clean it all up and it should shine. Thanks for the listen aspiring

Me too. I have CDs full. And it raises this question for me: why should I pay some record company millions of bucks, when most of my favourite music these days comes from this kind of site, where people play and record music because they want to -- and THEY don't get paid zilch? My favourite...

Ok Dumby. I think this is where you actually kill ME. We've been discussing BR1200's a lot here and I thought you had one of them. But it's the 1180 you have. And I think you might not have that option. BR1200 and BR1600 do. I've never seen an 1180. It might not. If so, very sorry about...
