This mix is way over my head so I have no constructive suggestions to make. Very nice job. Maybe some backing vocals wouldn't hurt.

Where is Carl Palmer when you need him? I assume that is a real Hammond there. Cool Sound. I was going to say it needed something and then the singing started. Not sure I'm entirely enamored but there is something there. I see why you are conflicted. If it were me (and its not) I would...

The organ part really makes it something special. Definitely an unexpected riff. The moog sound was a little too "BeeGees and Frampton do Sgt Pepper circa '78" for me. I would keep going and see where it takes you.

Chrisharris - Well, I recorded this and mixed it quick and have not had a chance to give it the "listen loud in the car" test. I'm not surprised about your comment on the backing vocals. I may have gotten carried away with momentum in the chorus, which I really like. This is why this forum is...

bdbd - My country influences are primarily from secondary sources (Beatles, Elvis Costello, with a dash of Gram Parsons and Lucinda Williams for authenticity). I'll have to check out Prine as I've heard a lot of good things about him. fprod - Thanks for the comments. I boosted the lows on the...

This is an old song of mine but a new recording and I kind of like how it came out. Let me know if my usual problems of muddiness, etc still exist. Hope you like it. http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=2716&alid=-1 Called Foot on the floor

Not crazy about the unnatural cymbal sound. I know this is electronic music but the beat you have going on those cymbals breaks the mood. I like the break in the middle to the middle eastern music. That was cool. Sounds pretty good too as a mix.

I listened to the nerve age and had to stop. I actually couldn't bear the guitar sound. If that was your intention, and it sounds like it was, then you did a good job. Everything else sounds pretty good. The vocal sound is here and there. Sometimes it just doesn't fit, too dry or something...

Just ask the axis.

I really liked this song. Agreed that all this really needs is the fine touches already talked about. I do think I hear some pitchiness on the vocals in the chorus but that could be my imagination. I'm not sure if compression on the vocal was noted but it could use a bit as sometimes it gets...

You've got here a dead on reproduction of the sound of the Velvet Underground's self titled album. Since that is a masterpiece of rock music its hard to say you have any problem here, though many modern listeners might comment on the drums being too low or the lead guitars coming up. I...

I agree with Chrisharris. I just want to play something at a decent volume without it hurting my ears, which I have only done once (barely). But hey, it gives you a goal, something to strive for, and therefore works like a meditation. It focuses the mind and washes away all other thoughts...

Would I like I record contract? Yes. Do I live in a fairy world with colored rainbows and chocolate streets? No. Do I like to hear people say nice things about me? Yes. Is that why I'm here? No. Maybe the teenagers on the forum are looking for a stroke but I'm 35 years old and have...

The mix sounds just about perfect to me. As usual SC has mixed some useful comments with a crock of shit. This is a good song, and a nice recording of it. I can't hear the bass on my PC so I don't know about that comment but his mention of scratch and reaching out of the comfort zone is good...

SC was just starting to post some really constructive comments until he fell off the wagon with the studio musician crack, which was insensitive at best. SC, you do seem to assume that everyone here wants to sell songs or wants a record deal. This is quite obviously untrue. At the end of the...

I agree with Aphex except to add that the timing sounds off in places. I would read up on drum micing. I know nothing about it so I can't help but many home recording books devote a lot of time to this subject. BTW, could Aphex be a reference to Aphex Twin? Could he be someone's evil twin...

I don't think the mp3 format helps the cymbal problem but I have to admit, its bugging me too. I've tried to bring down the highs which helped a little but not enough. I'm trying to talk my friend into setting up his old drum kit so I can record real drums. Wouldn't that be great! I hate...

I am using a hard disk recorder.

My next stupid question: If I end up with the Mackie (which I just got on ebay) and eventually invest in an RNP, will I run those mics into the mic inputs with the mic pre as an effect or the RNP first and then the line inputs?

I posted this several months back and got some feedback to boost up the lead guitars and bring the vocals up. I tried my best. How does this sound? Shadow of a doubt http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=2716&alid=-1
