Vocals open very mush mouth then improve... watch that they don't become too much of an"affect" in the performance... Singer and BG vocals really need to lock in on timing together -- missing opportunity there to really knit this song together. For a live take they should be looking at each...

What DAW have you used for this? Do you have any tools to get the vocals and harmony in tune with each other? This would be a good track to practice that on. (Sure you could retrack - but don't pass up an opportunity to practice fixing as well.)

HI RAMI There's something else I might suggest here. After the main guitar intro, and right before the ascending 3 note line where you bring the band in, your timing is locked into the click (I assume) through the DAW. My ear actually wants a bit more of an exaggerated pause there before the 3...

Hey Rami: Here's what I really dug --- vocals. Great - not much to say about them beyond that. Love that 70's throwback vocal style and sound. Great harmonies and use of doubling. Anthemic but personal. See Bands like "The Trews" for similar sounds/songs in this vein. Great stuff. About the...

Great track - loved almost everything about it. MAybe would like to hear the lead guitar come out in the mix a tiny bit more - at least where featured - Bass was really solid. Couple times I wanted to here some runs or more syncopation from the bass but as an anchor it was very solid. Smooth...

Thanks Steve. Very much appreciated. I'm trying to develop a casual, more familiar writing style that's more personal, yet still expressive. Also trying to make it count - not just produce copy or content to be swallowed up like diet soda. Here's part two of the series: Article: Home Recording...

After my last project feedback I decided to revisit an earlier project and redo the mix (without headphones) so I cued this up on my Vintage Sansui 6060 and my 1970's Altec Lansig Series II, Model 3 speakers for some proper volume mixing in my living room. Hopefully the mix is "better". This...

Thanks again guys -- yup some good feedback. The consensus is too much verb on vocals, a bit muddy as a result-- lacking clarity - other feedback has been about drums -- some timing issues -- general mix clean up required across the board... I'm going to see about woodshedding -- going back to...

I hear you brother.

I guess it all depends on the user base and how this is encouraged or not by the moderators and administrators. The forum is called a mixing clinic and is functioning very similar to a masterclass -- suggestive that although there is a subject being scrutinized, that it is the audience that is...

I do understand the issues regarding space on various hosts etc... I also understand that as an musician or artist you might not want the legacy of inferior mixes floating around, but maybe a compromise would be like leaving them up for a week --- that seems to be the amount of time something...

Hey guys -- I've only been here for a little while officially but I get incredible benefit going through the old threads and listening to all the iterations of posted mixes and hearing not only the advice and criticism given but then listening to the changes you make on new ones and comparing...

Thanks very much guys. I'm really hoping to "give back" with this series of articles. I imagine there are tons of old rockers from back in the day who just don't realize how quickly they could get back into playing and recording (at low expense) - It's a great way to rehabilitate your chops...

I'm still a relative novice in their use but here's where I started reading about Saturation. 16 Of The Best Saturation Plugins In The World | getthatprosound.com You can demo most of the ones in the link but I'd let others with more experience talk about their application in better detail...

I've been looking at this, the Arturia Minilab - but also looking at the beatstep -- Anyone familiar with either of them? My real question is more - how long do you use them before basically hungering after something bigger/better with more features etc... and if you do upgrade do you still use...

Here is an article I penned on how I finally started digital recording. I'm hoping it fits here because it sort of covers the basics of hardware/software for people researching or considering home recording. I hope to write regular articles on the process so this will be the first in a series...

Would saturation or modulation help here? I was playing with Saturn for a while and it did some really nice things that might help you knit this but boost it without seeing the thread. I leave that to others with more experience to chime in beyond my question.

How do you film this - Go Pro ? Do you sync to a time code then cut and past into something like Premiere? Sounds good though. Were these "live" performances in the videos (ie, the actual performance we were hearing). If so I noticed no earphones So i'm assuming you played along and monitored...

Great and mature follow up from Jessica here. I have more to say but I think this follow up is worth having its own response. Makes it easy when people engage like this to similarly engage.

So this song sounds like what would have happened it the Huey Lewis tour bus had crashed into the Tom Petty tour bus in 1985... a cool mash-up with some Elvis Costello in there to boot. Mix: Right away -- drum sound (snare) way too much verb for me. Cymbals really crashing around and dominating...
