    Trickle Down - Indie Rock

    Damn dude. I really like everything I've heard from you, and this is no exception. The only thing I can say is that it's through the roof loud, and I think bringing it down just a bit would be good. But the mix otherwise sounds great. That amp sounds really nice. Makes me even more frustrated...

    The Bends - cover

    Now that I figured out that problem, I can wholeheartedly recommend it. I tend to use the Bonham and Clyde Stubblefield sets the most, but it has several others like Phil Selway (I could have just used that for The Bends, but I wanted to do something different), Questlove, Chad Smith, and others...

    That was the first thing I tried months ago when I first noticed this problem. It fixed some notes, but not all. I also have a cover of "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" by the Beatles, where I had the same issue with the same Bonham drumset. It really messes up the ride groove. I can't wait to fix...

    Woooooooo! I figured it out! It was really simple, too. Some of the note durations were too short to trigger correctly (I read that this is an issue with Reason's sampler), so I selected all the drum notes and made them the same duration. I don't know how you get different durations from hitting...

    Mountains - original song

    https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1q3bgtkYyakbE1jU1ZyTVBEQ0U Ok, I think this is pretty much done now. My only concern is do you guys think the bass is a little too strong? The bass is supposed to be prominent, the melody is a key part of the song. But of course it shouldn't be overdone. Some...

    I'm not seeing anything like that. I could be missing it, but I don't see it. I'm looking at it again in the song, and I'm watching it actually skip notes that are there, even ones with high velocities. It's really frustrating, because the sound is otherwise phenomenal and realistic. I can't...

    So I've changed the drum sample, and it's better in a way, since you can hear something closer to the dynamics that I played it with. The typewriter effect is gone from the snare drum. The problem is, it seems that the sample set (it's the John Bonham set in Reason Drum Kits) randomly skips an...

    Mountains - original song

    I think I'm getting better at EQing things, so I'll try to follow that advice. The more I keep doing this, the less plugins I find myself using to get what I'm looking for.

    Last One In The Room - alternative mix

    Wow. I don't think I have anything to critique that hasn't already been said, and I'm listening on my truck stop headphones anyway. I just want to say for now that this song and performance are great. I can't wait to hear it on my monitors.

    Mountains - original song

    Ah, I see Code Red is an Abbey Road emulation. Right up my alley! All my mixes, including this one, have the TG12345 on the master, which is the console used for the Abbey Road album and Dark Side of the Moon. I use a preset called Subtle Mastering Clarifier, which does exactly what it says. I...

    We Care More

    Maybe I shouldn't comment since I'm on my laptop speakers, but I'm becoming addicted to this forum and can't help checking in even though I'm out of town away from my studio. That being said, your mix actually sounds really good on my laptop. Very clear, warm, full. The vocal is too loud and...

    REM - Losing my religion (Metal cover)

    I can't speak for the mix, since I'm far away from my equipment right now and am listening on laptop speakers. I don't really need to know any more than what I can hear, though. From what I can hear, the music sounds decent and tight (though honestly I don't understand doing the 16th note palm...

    Well, the question there is, do you think the vocal needs reworking? If it's good the way it is, then what's done is done with the plugins even if the way I did it was convoluted. Lessons have been learned since then, and now I know how to do better with less. However, I do think maybe it's a...

    I found the Airbag cover. Really nice, especially those guitars.

    The Bends - cover

    Thank you. Yeah, I'm going to start by trying a different sample set with the current drum performance, and go from there. If I'm lucky, that's all that'll be needed other than level changes. I have a feeling that at best I'll have to edit some MIDI velocities, and at worst I'll have to play...

    Oh, I forgot to mention that I recorded it with two mics. An Avantone CV12, and an SM57 right next to it. The Avantone is the main vocal track, with the plugins. The 57 is mixed very low, and I think dry or very nearly so. Or maybe it wasn't dry. I may have pitch shifted it slightly out of...

    Heh. I know. On my last song the vocal has two plugins. I'm making progress.

    I have kick, snare, hi hat, a separate track for each tom (three, I think), and I believe cymbals rather than an overhead if I remember correctly. They all run into the same drum buss for reverb and I think maybe the TG12345 plugin with drum buss setting. I got to hear a good amount of OK...

    I would love to have seen them back then, when they were a rock band. I saw them twice after Kid A and Amnesiac came out. I was skeptical of how they would pull off the electronic stuff live, but it was amazing. But The Bends and OK Computer are the Radiohead that I have always been really...

    The Bends - cover

    Yes, I want it to be heavier than the original. It's already a big song, uncharacteristically bombastic for Radiohead, and I wanted to make it even bigger. The song has always energized me. It was probably my favorite song to play when I had a band. The way I see it, I didn't do anything...
