    "Blaster"

    Sounds very good to me. Great playing-some cool techniques-sweep picking, arpeggios. some wide interval stuff, impressive! I like the guitar tone and it seems to carry the tune. The rhythm section seems like it could be more prominent, i'd like to hear the bass a bit more-you play some...

    Moment - alternative rock

    Sounds great. Nice drum patterns and drum sounds-not hearing the high hat very well during the chorus-snare also seems to fall away during that section. Nice bass and guitar sounds-i like the way the top end of the bass pops out during the verses. Vocals are excellente as usual, the chorus...

    Prog Rock

    Greetings-I posted this as an instrumental some time back and recently added vocals. I still hear a few things that need attention and the vocals in general are kind of meh, but i think the basic balance is good. Let me know how it sounds to you, thanks for your time! Lyrics the motion leads...

    I clicked this yesterday and i had in mind you were someone else, i said "man this sure sounds like that other guys drums" then i rechecked at the name...So yeah i like the drum sounds alot. I like the placement of the vocals for the most part, but sounds to me like some elements could be carved...

    How do the kicks and 808 sound on this to you guys?

    I like the main key riff, gives a lot of room to play with. I hear what you're saying about the kick drums(s), they seem to be gobbling up all in their wake while at the same time not really making impact. My first thought is that the kick sound needs some slap, more attack not less. Also...

    Expanding Focusrite Clarett 8Pre via ADAT Problem

    My housemate has a focusrite and we lightpiped a presonus adat into it and were getting signal from only 2 inputs. Somewhere in the focusrite menu system the unit seemed to default to recording 12 channels the where spidif? took 9-10 then the adat assignments began, once we changed that setting...

    "Still Got Me" Now with vocals

    Sounds good to me. I like the laid back feel, the vocals are very smooth, good harmonies and good balance between the lead vocal and backups. The guitar work is tasty especially knowing what you are capable of, the simple guitar hook really serves the song-as does the solo. The only thing i can...

    instrumental thing

    Recorded this over the last 2 weeks. I got out the autoharp and and came up with this little tune. I've been struggling to get it sounding right, i've totally scrapped twice and started over with different tempo, guitar tones, arrangement etc. Still not sure if it's working, as of now it's an...

    Valentines Day - new mix 2-28-18

    Sounds nice. Acoustic sounds good. Sounds like the voice is on the edge of it's range occasionally-is there any lead vocal doubling? I can't tell if i'm hearing it or want to hear it. I think the drums could come up a touch or some high end sheen to bring out the snare and cymbals a bit. Is that...

    Original pop punk song (need mix feedback)

    A poll-how fun. I voted good, the recording and mix sound well done-everything is balanced-good tones on the guitars, nice drum track-vocals sound good and well performed. The only reason i didn't vote your highest was i think the mix could be polished some more. Maybe it's just a matter of a...

    Valentines video

    Every Valentines day for the last 5-6 years I've recorded a song/video to share with friends on facebook. This year i chose the Brian Jonestown Massacre song "if love is the drug i want to od". Video was shot with my panasonic lumix camera. The guitar and voice were recorded as one take to a...

    Night & Day ,Yet more Fidlgo Swing

    Not a big fan of the guitar tone, did he use a compressor pedal? I like the song, i know this from Frank Sinatra reprise years...amazing stuff. I think all the players are good and the singing is good and the recording and mix is good. However my thought as i listened was that things could be...

    New Song, trying to iron out kinks. (not much technical skill)

    I like this. I think your volume is just right, if anything you could just turn up the whole file a db or couple of db, as long as your not peaking at 0 now. Smooth sound with those verby drums, reminds me of the 80's- being able to verb drum machines was game changing. Though i think this...

    "Used To" original - feedback on mix?

    I like the song. Mix sounds a little high endy in general. Looks like everything has been mentioned-i thought the drums sounded too much like a metal kit. The harmonica threw me, a bit shrill sounding. Balance overall sounds good on my desktop 5.1 system, just kind of thin. I would try and add...

    Tips for Collaboration?

    I haven't collaborated with another HR member but nearly everything i do is a collaboration. Robus gave a great detailed explanation of his process, i can offer some generalities that i have come across. First off, what is your part in the collab? If you are writing music and need singing...

    Instrumental sound-alikes - "Into the Great Wide Open" and "Give a Little Bit"

    Love it-Was just watching Roger Hodgson in the last week-"Night of the Proms" to be specific. Your acoustics sound great and sounds like you play the parts faithfully. Really clean relaxed sound. Click track included! The Petty song same thing-great sound and faithful to the originals. Really...

    "Summer Dream"

    Nice song-playing is tight, vocals sound well performed. The mix had me jump for the volume knob, i think acoustic songs can get away with a little less level overall. The acoustics are jumping out a bit much for my taste, not sure if it's an eq thing in that 2-3 k range or a compression thing...

    Love and War

    Thanks all for listening and the helpful comments. I.B.B.-Thanks, yeah i was trying for that small/big sound on the guitar in the first version, thats what i was referring to as the Jimmy Page sound (Physical Graffiti). I since replaced all guitars and went with a more big/big sound. (Spinal...

    Boy Band

    Butting back in...I've been experimenting because of that same issue and something that is worth a try is the bent sm57 trick-where you unscrew the cap, rearrange the mic at a near '90 angle and tape it in place, i've been getting excellent separation using this. I found an article that...
