Heatmiser, I haven't read anybody else's comments. :D I absolutely love this. Everything sounds gutsy, the groove between the drums and bass is insistent and gripping in an awesome "Love is the Drug" kind of way, their tones fantastic. I think the hard, roomy drums totally kick arse and the...

LOL, You funny bugger! :D

Fluffer: (n) A person on the set of a pornographic film employed to ensure the male actors maintain an erection between takes, by means of oral or manual stimulation. Nice.

Thanks very much, TripleM. There is a new mix in the op - the bass has indeed been turned up a bit! Good spot. :)

I put it up in the clinic this morning. :)

Love it. I wouldn't change a thing - except, maybe, cut the length of the muffled intro down a bit and perhaps find a better sound than the Atari synth. Really good.

Thanks very much, no fucking offence taken. :D You were right about the acoustic, when I checked on the monitors. I looked at my EQ (on the Focusrite Red2 EQ, which isn't graphical) and there was a hump in the 100-300 Hz range. Another thing I noticed was the vocal was too "hard edged" through...

I'll check all those points out, Jdude.:D Regarding the double "L", you will have noticed that the pronunciation is "Yano" rather than "Chlano". WHy? Beats me! :D

Something completely different from me, this time. I don't do acoustic stuff and I most DEFINITELY don't do country. :D :D The song is about a failed idealistic self-contained community that was set up in 1914 near the town of Llano in California. This is a cover version but I won't say who by...

Ha ha - this tune's fairly heavy on the Ukes, too. :D

No need for a sub, really. Even 5" drivers sound good nowadays. My Yamaha HS5s are a little light in the bass but very detailed. My friend's Adam A5xs are superb.

I've been working on an acoustic country song today. I won't be posting it here. :D

The vocals sit really well, mate.:D Just to be clear, I'm not talking a whole lot of weight, here - just a tweak.

I really like it. :D Why are you worried about your vocals? Everything is very clear - almost too clear, to the point of needing a tad more bottom end weight on the rhythm guitars, I think. This is as metal as I ever get in my musical tastes - it's more in the genre of pixies/smashing pumpkins...

Thanks - just make it sound like you're fit to be committed to a mental institution, then we're in the right ball park. :D My missus will be doing the B.V.s shortly. If you want to carry on the conversation, we'll take it to PM, I don't want to hijack your thread. :)

Many thanks. :D This song is all about the energy, and the buildup and release of the tension, as you correctly identified. Also the mix is meant to try to convey the feel of their live performance without it actually being live. One thing I can't replicate is the absolute testicle-rattling...

Cheers, Paulman. :D That was only my third project using a proper DAW. At the time I only had a couple decent mics and only four tracks for the drum kit. Stands up pretty well two years later, I think.

A lot of really great, groundbreaking guitarists used loads of effects. The difference between those guitarists and your average pedal collector is the same as between a decent painter and somebody who gets a paint-by-numbers set for Christmas. The worst ones can't even choose the right colours...

I forgot about the modes. Doesn't that make twelve? :D My tone doesn't suck, though. :D

Wow. People can get very defensive about their pedal boards. :) I suppose you could say that I have four overdrive pedals. They're all on the amp, though. :D
