    Ah Whoo

    Sounds like you! The drums are a little less in your face than usual, but they're still working. I like the vocals, no complaints about the sound or performance. If i have any mix complaint it might be a lack of bottom end (is there a bass guitar?), though i went and turned up my sub woofer...

    On y va

    I like the chord progression and melody. Seems like alot of verb in general. I have the Abbey road plate as well very nice verb, i think it sounds better on the vocal then the guitars. The snare sound is getting dulled pretty heavily by the verb or compression. I think the arrangement is good...

    [2.0]Early stages new song

    Strange thing to post up-guitar and bass. Not much to say really i think the guitar sound is great, and sounds like the foundation of a good song. As mentioned will have to hear everything at once to really make any real judgement. The guitar that sounds nice may be crowding vocals when they are...

    Sun sets on the Sea

    Greetings all. Been working on this song for the last two weeks or so, i haven't been happy with my vocals or the mix in general. Today i went and laid down a few vocal tracks, and did a quick mix and i think it's sounding pretty good, let me know what you think could be improved. My first...

    Enya's Orinoco Flow - Hard Rock

    Wow Really good power in the mix without sounding super compressed , nice mastering job...I thought the vocals were going to swell up to a louder level but they seemed to stay low, it kind of sucks you into the mix but i think they could come up a bit. The choruses are pretty audible, it's the...

    The Sun Lies - alternative pop rock

    Nice sounds-I think the rhythm guitar sounds great-a more dynamic and responsive sound then usual imo. Vocals sound excellent as usual, nice melody-i also like the wash of the synth? over the early part of the song, it's subtle but fills the soundscape in well. Nice use of delay on the...

    "Chasin' Chickens"

    Impressive playing for sure, i like the harmony playing, the playing is very accurate. I would expect a bit more twang from the guitar sound/more high end for this genre. I checked to see what you were playing-and yeah i think a tele is more appropriate for this kind of material. Though i have...

    Bad Dreams

    As usual i like your drum sounds-the snare is really popping, maybe a little light on the kick drum. There's a sound in the 1:35 section that's distorting in an unpleasant way to my ears, its like a crackling more than a distortion, seems like that could have been done with a cleaner sound..it...

    Izabella is OK

    I like the song-Mix sounds good to me all elements are discernable. I like that bass line, the ascending bass riff in the chorus very cool. The vocals remind me of Al Stewart (year of the cat). I think they they sit well in the mix but sound a little dry to me? Maybe a bit of verb might add some...

    So Far We're So Far Away

    Did some reading of comments and it's interesting you want to make it sound like a bond theme : ). Well i think you want a retro sound in that case, smaller sounds and more reverb. Guitars sound very good but they have a modern forward sound compared to what i would think of a James Bond sound...

    Down

    Heya Thanks everyone for your time and input. I've put many of your ideas into the latest mix, notably the panning of the background vocals and trying to sit the lead vocal properly. I also tried to create a cohesive space for the mix in general, sending numerous elements to the same reverb...

    Moctezuma - Silence And The Abyss progressive/classic rock

    I like the sound, the mix of a kind of sweet melody over the heavy music. In the first section i thought the drums were kind of buried by the guitars, but once the singing starts i like the way drums and the toms sound-very classic 70's kind of sound. I like the sound of the vocals they are...

    Room mic

    I don't understand the negative comments because i really like this type of drum sound, not the solo'd distorted room alone as much as having that sound as an element to mix into the closer mic'd sounds. Led Zeppelin and more recently the Flaming Lips use this kind of drum sound and i always...

    Bored in San Antone with JohnnyAmato and ibleedburgundy

    Sounds great, i can recognize your mix style by the nice separation and quiet between the elements. Great vocals by JAmato, guitar and drums are very tasty and appropriate-a very successful collaboration. If i have a nit-pick i would have narrowed down to one guitar solo track, i do the same...

    Down

    After a long wait of two years i finally got my singer/collaborator friend to come over and record. The music track was recorded a few months ago, housemate did a nice job on drums which were recorded simultaneously with the bass to try and get a live groove. This is rough mix number 2, there's...

    Sign 'o the Times (Prince cover)

    Sounds great, love that 80's snare sound. I like the effects on the voice nice smooth sounding verb or delay you got going on. I rarely say this but i think the vocals could come up. Especially around the 2:00 mark a keyboard comes in and masks the vocals pretty hard. Other than that sounds...

    Acoustic Mix: Chris Tofield - "Give Life One More Chance"

    Great voice, you've got good grit and are hitting the notes. I like the melody it's like you know where the melody is going just by how you are singing if that makes sense. As far as the mix i have to agree that the vocals could come down a bit. I think the tone of the guitar and voice are both...

    instrumental thing

    Thanks everyone for your time and good comments. I'm a little surprised to see this song back as it was posted two months ago. I was hoping it would go away quickly and quietly but here it is near the top of the page again... JohnnyA-and Vomithat-very good comments regarding the sound of the...

    Alright, back to the rock opera. New orignal "Wrath"

    Of course it's back up vocals-and i still think the high bu vocals could come down, it gives the song a novelty feel and kind of puts the worse foot forward in that section of the song imo. As of now that high part really dominates and drowns out the other vocal parts which are obviously more in...

    Alright, back to the rock opera. New orignal "Wrath"

    I like the riff-really cool. I like the vocals during the verses, the intensity of the performance matches the tone and placement in the mix. The high bu vocal sounds too loud to me, dominates the other vocals. Reminds me of Zappa a bit. You have your own style and sound, but i think this could...
