nice... Sounds beautiful man...really awesome stuff...aggree with Greg_L about the "oooh" bits being a little too loud, sound a little harsh to me (headphone listen) ben.

thanks for listening... Fair enough...I actually ran the whole mix through Ozone Izotope (I absolutely love this plugin)...perhaps I should take a step back and remix for spaciousness without it and then re-apply ;-) ben.

hey... Sorry mate....that was the original link...there is another later on...Anyway, here it is again: ThePlace Will also update the original link right now...ok done...instrumentalIdea now points to thePlace.mp3 :-) Cheers! Ben.

I like it but to me, the storm lends to a very 80ish production yet when the storm dissipates and indeed when the drums come in at 1:03, the production is far more modern (is contemporary the correct word?). I agree with the dude who said to ditch the storm. In fact, perhaps you might consider...

thanks man! Hey thanks man, appreciate your comments. I was actually thinking the strings sounded a little flat, but perhaps not EDIT: Cheers also Joe - didn't see your comment there at first! Cheers, Ben.

Sorry to resurrect this thread but... I've done some more work on this track, but don't know if its an improvement or not...Is everything in tune...I'm not sure? I think I have ear fatigue or something. ThePlace Thanks all Ben.

sure man, go for it... email me at ben AT bhjones DOT com ben.

I'd like to have a go I think. What sort of music is it? I can't do anything tonight, but can have a crack at it over next few days Ben.

Thats a helluva of a better setup than mine! Snare sounds fine to me. Cheers.

absolutely awesome dude Wow that is a f**king awesome guitar tone man! What did you use??..Love the drums too - are those real drums, btw? I only ask because right at the start there is a tom fill that sounds a little ezdrummer like. In all fairness, this song truly rocks man... Kind of...

The new mix is sounding nicer...vocals have better clarity now. I'm still not sure about the drums however, they sound very narrowly mixed, but that is fine if you are going for that type of sound (edit: sorry, I see what you've done - just read your earlier reply :-) ). They remind me of some...

cool man I like it...do you want to sing on my track you commented on...I reckon you'd be perfect Reminds me of creed... Will have a go at mastering this track if you like, have a really nice plug I've been playing around with... EDIT - not sure if you added a little too much compression to...

nice! Very crisp production! Not normally the sort of music I listen to (closest being Robben Ford, perhaps). Only thing I'd say is at 1:51, there is some woodwind (?picolo/flute?) that comes in...cuts accross very sharply (m-audio bx5 speakers)....but its such a minor minor thing... ben.

g'day I like the lofi sound that you have going on but the vocals are definitely too muffled, can't make out at all what is being sung about without looking at the lyrics. Perhaps try cutting some of the low mids and bossting the overall volume. The overall mix also seems a bit...

cheers! Hey, thanks man...the guitar I used is a godin lgxt (this truly is a beautiful guitar; you can actually feel the notes resonate through the whole thing - custom seymour duncan humbucker at the bridge)...For amps I actually di'd and used Native Instruments Guitar Rig 3 plug with the...

Curious to know how that sounds...link? ben.

thanks! I will play around with the hihat a little see if I can get it sounding a bit more 'realistic'...Yeah, finding a singer is always so hard...I used to know somebody in Canada who is absolutely fantastic, emailed him a couple of days ago, but not heard back from him yet ...So here's...

Hey everyone, happy new year! Have been recording a new metal idea having received a copy of ezdrummer from santa! Been playing around with it and this is what I have: http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~bhj/mp3s/heavyD.mp3 Am quite pleased with it, just need to find a vocalist now... *any* feedback...

thanks ...everyone for their advice / rants. I'm not sure however about dropping the part that comes in at 00:37, since this is the underlying melody that kind of drives the tune...Any ideas? Cheers, Ben.

LOL...good question...I think I meant a mix of eastern and western styles :-) Ben.
