    I am WATYF... hear me drum... ;o)

    I won't nit-pick on a finished product. I'm just gonna listen. "Completely Yours" - absolutely commercial potential, in my opinion. I'd buy it - in fact I think I will. I like the drums a lot (and I don't get along well with drummers) "Hallelujah" - again - very nice production with beautiful...

    Critique and throw panties!

    Great marketing! I just HAD to open this thread with that title! Super clean playing and recording. Nicely doubled vocal - nice voice, too. The rhythm drives wonderfully for a solo guitar - no click track, right? If you want a nit-pick - and that's all that anyone can do with this tune - the...

    Classical Guitar Treat

    Keeper Wonderful playing - very nice recording - a real treat - as advertised. Is this an original composition? Kudos and a tip o' the hat! ~Milan

    -->Country Blues<--

    Hey Dan - that's definitely tamed but now I think you'll have to wait until the vocals ar added to do any more tweaking. I get criticized for having my drums too low in the mix so I don't want to get carried away and say they're still too loud. The rhythm guitar might be a litle hot at times...

    -->Country Blues<--

    The Hevy Mon's Back! Ohhhhhhh Yeaahhhhh! Now you know I'm all over this stuff. Wankology at its finest. Oh yes - the drums - you asked about the drums. Rhythmically fine - almost a choo-choo beat. The snare's a bit dominant - actually more than a bit. It's hiding some of that fine Merle Travis...

    Re-work of a 1995 original tune

    B.Sabbath - Thanks for the listen! Sure wish you could put your finger on that 'something' in the vocals!! I'd love to be able to dial that in and get them consistent. I just remarked to DafDuc that my voice lacks 'color' so I have to add crap to it. There's a formula there somewhere - gotta...

    CCM Love Song

    Well I'm surprised this one slipped the first page without a reply. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and let you know how I hear this and maybe what you can do with the vocal. I might get a lambasting from the pros out here but that's what it's all about. I'm a rule breaker - if I know the rule...

    My first attempt at slide...with a lap guitar.

    ...probably something to do with tierd ears after 5 good hours of trying to teach my hand to stop at the proper part of the fret Ha Ha! Man can I relate!! I just plain suck at playing with a slide! Haunting sound - cool vibe - and I don't think you'd get the same tone from a pedal steel, even...

    Say it ain't so Joe..........

    Who's Pearl Jam? Just kidding.............. Bright is the operative word here - and here's an idea for ya - if you're going to use it as an intro for your website, buy some of the cheapest computer speakers you can and mix it so it sounds OK on them. I have shit for speakers on my computer and...

    Another blues guitar song

    So why didn't I hear about this band when I lived in Columbus??? Dammmmmnnnnnn this is nice. Those vocals are perfect. I've got headphones on right now so figure the mix comments accordingly. To me there's a little too much low-end that's crowding the piano. The drums seem to be lending the most...

    Hopeful Collaboration

    N-I-C-E !! I Dl'd this yesterday and forgot to reply - I like this a lot. The wide vocals are cool here. The drums kick ass - kick and snare are totally in the pocket. (So you actually 'play' this Roland unit?? Response like pressure sensitive keys? The snare has different pressure hits on it -...

    Re-work of a 1995 original tune

    HEY MIXMKR! Where have you been? I need more autobahn cruisin' musik!! Thanks for listening!! And I'll be re-working the mando part (I need to shy away from so many Scruggs-runs). Are you saying more reverb?? Can do - I think a taste is in order. 'Amanda' has more highs, too. I'll get busy on...

    Re-work of a 1995 original tune

    I really appreciate all of these comments – I’m taking notes and fiddling around with ideas and suggestions. Lots of fun for me!! Ismellelephant – Nice compliment –thanks!! I’ve found myself listening way out of the box since I’ve been around these folks. Lots of styles but at the bottom of...

    Re-work of a 1995 original tune

    Thanks, Pat! Ich bedanke mich! I'll have a go at your recommendation of lowering the instruments a tad - this was actually quite hard to mix because with the new compression setting the vocals really do sit on top - and the lead has the edge I've been trying to get for years - but they sit so...

    How's the drums?

    Yeah, buddy - the kick and the snare are working, especially the snare - sounds very 'real' to me. The ride cymbal is a bit bright -but the crash sounds like a splash. The piece of advice about the hi-hat might be worth some investigating 'cause I tend to agree that the cymbals are where drum...

    Laid Back (instrumental)

    Now I get it! After reading your response and listening to the tune again I noticed the perfect slot for the vocal! Ha! Even though this tune can stand alone on its own merits. (Some of the solo lines in the right channel seemed a little distant but you move stuff around so artfully I was just...

    Re-work of a 1995 original tune

    Thank y'all! Thanks, folks!! I really appreciate all the more-than-kind comments. But credit has to be given where credit is due. All the tools and techniques I've been using I learned from y'all! If you listen to the first few tunes I posted and then listen to the last couple of tunes anyone...

    http://www.nowhereradio.com/MCGitarz Album page - "Songs From the Attic" - first song, called NFAL-Take One Hi folks! Here's a simple little song I plan to use as my CD opening tune. It's actually the first tune I ever wrote. It was recorded on the first CD my band released. At that time the...

    Laid Back (instrumental)

    STUNNING! :D MAN - do I like this!! Right to the head of the keeper file!! Excellent performance - that's gotta be tough to play with all those tempo changes happening. Nothing to say - lays perectly for my ears. Simply stunning. Would you share the guitar make/model and signal chain, please...
