What is it...should I be giving people "rep points"? Do people get annoyed if I don't give them rep points when I should? In general what is the protocol for this? I looked around using the search engine but couldn't find anything addressing this on a basic level!

You are a really good singer. I like the sound of your voice. I really like the song overall, good writing! There are a lot of gaps in the vocals (short phrases) and I wonder if putting a delay on those vocals would make it sound better and fill in the some of the silence. There is a synth...

Wow, she has a very nice voice. I really enjoyed listening to this. At the beginning, the vocals seemed like they had too much echo--to me it seemed distracting, and took away from the purity and intimacy of the vocals. at 1:05 those snare hits are a little out of time and in my opinion should...

Very cool sounds. I like the song/arrangement. What I noticed was that the shaker isn't exactly on the beat/keeping a steady beat. That was distracting. That e bow is really neat. Thanks for sharing!

Jimmy: Thank you very much for all the specifics of what you did. There is A LOT to think about there. (One of the easy ones is, I won't hold the mic like that anymore!) I'd like to try to mix it again myself, but on the other hand I feel like I have to learn quite a bit before I'll be able to...

Very cool! I just wanted to comment on the fast, rhythmic guitar part (syncopated triplets or whatever?) I really liked this part a lot but I thought it needed to be cleaned up rhythmically. It sounded a little bit imprecise and I thought that the notes that were accented needed to be accented...

I enjoyed listening to this. I did think the bass drum was a little too loud. I'm going to check back and see what others have to say about drum programming because I've got the same problem.

Ha ha, it took me so fricking long to finish my post (interruptions!) that there have been two more posts in the mean time.... Thank you ido1957. Singing is something I do out of necessity, I don't particularly like the tone of my voice but I feel like when I get it how I want it, it can work.

Jimmy, it sounds amazing! Thank you. I listen and I'm like, huh, that's my voice? When it gets to the verse, the difference is incredible. There is a terrific increase in intensity and excitement which was really lacking in mine. The vocals seem to blend together a lot better and are just more...

I didn't notice that at all Jimmy, I'm sure you're right. I am going to try to do another mix soon taking some of this feedback into account. I have a terrible tendency to leave things 90% done that I need to overcome. Of course you can mess with it. I will send you the tracks via dropbox when...

Thanks for the responses. DM60: Huh, I liked the verses, but had a problem with the chorus voice parts. Very interesting to get the opposite opinion! rayc: Thanks for this, I think I agree about the muddiness in the keyboard and bass. I am a little too addicted to reverb. I cut it back a bunch...

Weird! I like it! I love the drums and bass guitar arrangement. I really like the echoey/whispery effect. I love how odd the concept of "home for abandoned sentences" is. What an unlikely thing to have in a song. I think the lead vocal part should be a little louder, to make it easier to...

https://soundcloud.com/jessicazin/unring-the-bell-work-in-progress Alright, so...I'm ready for some feedback on this. There are lots of things I don't like about this one but this seems to be the best I can make it right now, so I'm hoping for some new ideas. The #1 thing I don't like is that...

Well I'm pretty new to home recording but I will still tell you what I hear. To me the song itself sounds as good as what's on country radio: lyrics, melody, and arrangement. That is no small feat. What jumped out to me as far as a shortcoming of the mix, was a couple of problems with the...

Hey, I really like this! You have a very innocent-sounding voice. I agree with the comment about you being too careful in your pronunciation. I think that one big change would make this song a lot better. If this was a punk rock-sounding guitar, instead of acoustic, I think it would contradict...

This is good to know, I have been using 50 because of the clicks (which turned out to be unrelated to crossfade time) so I will go back to using 20. Thanks!

Thanks miroslav. Now I think it doesn't have to do with the fades after all, it was a click on my track probably introduced by some previous wacky method of editing. I just cut out the very last part of the track, and put in a 50 millisecond fade and it's fine now I think. Now on to find the...

Actually, yeah, that does make sense to have it be repetitive since it's the most common annoying thing people do on Facebook. I take back my comment about less plates of food. But I do think if you could throw in one or two other things in addition, it would make the lyrics more interesting...

I think that it may be that my fade is set to too small of a parameter. I watched a Youtube tutorial where the guy set it to 50 (milliseconds?) I changed it to 300 and that MAY have fixed my problem. It will take a while until I know for sure. Thank you for the responses!

So frustrated... Logic X. I've tried using the scissors tool, and the strip silence function, and the marquee tool. I've tried using fade-in/fade-out in the inspector. It seems no matter what I do, there are always clicks here and there at the end of the region, and they are hard to get rid of...
