    'New' original - Look Down the Road

    Getting a bit of dullness/muddiness in the usual places. Doubled vocals introduce a harshness with the combined air of both tracks. The electric lick that is repeated throughout the song is effective. It's one of those hooky bits that can draw a listener in on first listen because it is...

    Advice on Sound

    Nice tones, nice vibe, nice playing. Vocals are a little dark, small and pushed back. Hard panned backing vocal on the left was a little startling and makes the mix feel unbalanced. Very nice harmonies. Really good vocal control and timbre. You are very talented and the hard work you have put...

    Merry-ish Christmas from the Greg_L family - 2015 edition

    Ha! You guys just transported me back to my childhood home when I was 8 years old listening to Dr. Demento on the stereo in the family room. Wow. I often think that the ability for music to instantly transport someone to another place and time is one of the most 'magical' aspects of it, but I...

    Hat in the ring

    Listened to post #46 Broken_H. Cool track, first off. It has a real 80's rock kind of feel to it. Good clarity and separation for the most part. Having trouble making out the kick for the most part here, and the snare seems not to have too much body or 'life' to it. I am just getting a quick...

    Ah what the hell. Might as well post this.

    Rami, I've not been around much lateley either, to the extent that I am not aware of the state of the mix clinic. What a shame if it has moved from giving honest and helpful feedback to trite mutual congratulatory praise. That helps nobody. Why have you been away? I am busy working on non-music...

    Nobody home

    I must be listening to a different mix than everyone else because none of the problems being pointed out sound like problems to me. What I am getting is a Roger Waters kind of inspired piece. None of the effects, eq, levels or other choices sound out of place to me. Sometimes I think that when...

    Mixing in mono.

    I do all of my EQing, compression and mono effects in mono out of one speaker or the other. I probably spend the first 90% of a mix working in mono. For the last 10%, I switch to stereo, do my panning, do my final levels and do level automation. At this point, I rarely touch my EQ or compression...

    Talk About It - quick final check

    Checked out mix 3. Really well balanced. Great playing and performances all around. Very well written song. No crits here, just wanted to leave some kudos. Sounds great here.

    SOFTDANCE with RAMI & ido1957

    Cool tune. Lots to like here! Getting an overcompressed sensation from the drums. Not sure if this is a mix thing or a soundcloud thing. Vocals are detached from the mix. Normally, this is due to a touch too much body or a touch too little high mids. Just a touch. A little drive/saturation in...

    Any Flavor You Like....Take 2.

    Sweet! I bought an SG a little over a month ago as well. I LOVE it. Abso-fucking-lutely LOVE it. My LP is now in danger of becoming my #2 because I really and truly can't stop playing the SG. I always wanted one, but for whatever reason, I never pulled the trigger. It shocks me how much I am...

    Any Flavor You Like....Take 2.

    Great tones all around. I really like the drum performance here. It is super tight and musical. Nice sense of space in this production. The lo-fi part works for me. No nits there. I'm lukewarm on the backwards bits. They are fine, but I wouldn't feel like anything was missing if they weren't...

    Gibson rolling back prices and features for 2016

    Maybe they won't! Maybe that is why Gibson is getting rid of the extras nobody wants and bringing the price back down. I was in my local shop about 2 months ago trying out SG's. I was explaining to the sales guy there that Gibson directly and effectively took me and likely many other customers...

    Feedback on newest mix? - Climb The Wall

    Great song. The arrangement is hit and miss for me. I like the overall structure very much. I think it is over the top when the drums go into death metal territory. I think the double kick takes away from the intensity of the song. I also feel that the drum transition out of the chorus 1 ->...

    Well, the kids are back in school. So, here's a new song :D

    Right away, I liked the rhythm and the low end of the mix. I think the vocals need some subtle high mid boosts to lift them out of the mix just a touch more, but done carefully so any harshness in that area isn't boosted. Good job on the vocals and the playing. There are a lot of really...

    Final mix check - Thank You

    There are some really positive things that stand out with this track. The chorus is catchy/hooky. I am guessing that this track would go over well live, even as people hear it for the first time. The clean lead guitar tone sounds pretty sweet to me. The walky bass is cool and really well played...

    Steen's back, baby!

    Sex Cells by Money Tree, the song that came up when I clicked the link in the first post. The rest of the elements you added around the core guitar and vocals are very well done. The arrangement, the structure and the presentation of the overall package from a songwriting and performance...

    Steen's back, baby!

    Very pleasant sounding song. I can't really sense nerves in the performance, so you did a great job making him feel comfortable and getting him to deliver. I wrote down my thoughts before looking over the thread. I then went back and checked out a few other opinions. I am seeing a lot of well...

    Les Paul Refinish Job

    Dude, your LP looks badass. I would have killed you through this computer screen if you had refinished that fine specimen. Shame on you.

    Full Album: Explorer

    Supercreep... man... dude... This is incredible. Incredible. I chopped the wav file up into chunks and turned them into mp3s for my player so I can blast this in my car. Right now I have them titled I, II, III, etc. Are these the official song titles, or are there full titles (Better Than You...

    Music to Murder - Crawl

    Nice, I am glad it is translating there a bit on the dark side. That's what I want from this track. I think it helps to project the vibe I want for it. The song is really supposed to move between feelings of despair and hope. I wanted the mix to reflect that. Appreciate the kind words.
