    Power trio take #2483

    Cool tune! I don't think there's anything harder than power-trio stuff. And I can't imagine even trying without a real drummer - I gotta tip my hat to you there! Vocal sounds cool - good voice and well sung - let me add to the others who said that it could come up a bit. I guess your bass...

    Mondo Mando - Two Times Two

    Now what??!! Erichenryus says: Sheeeesssssh! First you make me get my wrist all sore (there's the first one!) and now you want me to get dynamic about it. Actually you're quite right - I noticed that, too after the quasi-final mix. I tried to put dynamics into the performances but they were...

    Ok, i tried a relatively radically approach mixwise for me

    I defer to your sensibilities!! Never would I attack someone's sensibilities - ok, maybe sometimes - but not this time. The kick timing is a lot better for my sensibilities. All in all I like this tune a lot - the vocals are really cool - wish I could sing like that. Guitar tones are nice and...

    Mondo Mando - Two Times Two

    OK - I'm not trying to hog thread space but there is news on the tuneage front. I posted two new mixes of 'Two Times Two' on my "Songs From the Attic" album page. The first one is the (maybe) final mix with no effect on the right channel guitar and a newly re-tracked second mando part (cleaner...

    Mondo Mando - Two Times Two

    Hmmmmmmmm I just spent 2-and-a-half hours trying to get the Bodhran to fit in and just couldn't cut it. I'm not a very skilled player but even when I got the rhythm grooving I didn't like the sound. I mic'ed it from front and behind with an SM-57 and an SM-58. All I could get was the deep...

    Square One - New mixes... testing out the pre to puter combo

    This works for me Some very nice teamwork here - and there's a lot of commercial potential to this tune. Your reprise on the acoustic theme really knocked me out. I'd come out and hear this band for sure - I might even pay a cover charge to hear ya! I have nothing to gripe about (I'm hearing...

    Two In One.........

    He said WHAT? And did you hear the giant sucking sound from your wallet as you were leaving the doc's office?? Anyway - onto the tune - cool vibe!! Don't be like me with this one - I have a tune that's all arranged and can't seem to take the time to write the lyrics or melody. Rhythm is...

    'been a while

    The groove won't stop! Gorgeous arrangement - and believe it or not, what I hear here is a jazz vocalist playing against the groove in almost totally straight quarter time. Mix just sits perfectly for me - drums are quite natural sounding. OK - David Clayton Thomas on vocal!! That's it! Do you...

    Mondo Mando - Two Times Two

    Bodhran?? Thanks Eric! Actually I have a bodhran - and I can sorta, kinda play it OK, but I haven't been too successful at mic'ing it - can't get the 'whomp' out of it like the Irish folk. But I'll give it a whack and see what happens. The guitars were indeed played twice - the right channel...

    Simple - She left me...dadgumit

    Very pretty song! Good writing and nice singing! Excellent vocal recording. You'll probably take a few stabs for the DI'd acoustic but I don't have issues with that - sounds sorta like a David Alan Coe guitar sound. The harp sounds nice but it might be too thick in the reverb department. BUT...

    Ode to Father time/reformed comic

    I think the opening is a bit too long - too much time before the main theme kicks in. I caught some fret buzz about :38 and I'm positive I heard some breathing in there. Other than that the mix sounds great - kinda mono but if that's what you're going for you nailed it! Signal chain...

    For the love of dtb!!

    What a nice thing to do, man! Both versions are fine in my book but it's nice to see inspiration and appreciation played out in 4/4 time! Cool! ~Milan

    Mondo Mando - Two Times Two

    Khompy - Dude - I am truly humbled and touched by your remarks and I thank you. I'v been answering some of these comments through PMs for the sake of thread space but since you went so deep I feel the need to share a little. Nobody has to read this - it's just alittle catharsis happening here...

    Pleeez, Need Input On New Song!!

    Niiiiiiiice tune, man!! Yep it's got the makings of a tune I'd like to hear on the radio. The arrangement rocks - the rhythm playing is bang-on - some of the best rhythm guitar playing I've heard out here. The snare is a bit 'up-front' for me - maybe it's just the tone - lots of really high...

    Ok, i tried a relatively radically approach mixwise for me

    Groooooooooooooovie, man Cool Tune - Cool Vibe But let me join with the others in saying the drums just don't cut it for me. The sounds are OK - I actually like that first cymbal sound - but the rhythm just seems off to me. The kick doesn't seem to kick naturally when it's supposed to be - it's...

    First attempt at recording new amp

    Oh yeah! Can't put my finger on this but everything is like a helluva lot crisper and more defined. I play this tune a lot at home so I've got it ingrained in my little pea brain - this is a major improvement over the one I have on CD - and I really thought that one was top-notch. I just...

    Stage 2 **Wakin Up**

    Just woke up! How appropriate - it's 0630 here and this is the first music to hit my ears today. Drums rock, man - very realistic and mixed just right for me. I dig the verb on the solo - I think Roy Buchanan washed a few solos like that, too. I wouldn't want it on every track of a CD but it's...

    Acoustic song - chick vocals

    Nice tune All the advice you need has already been posted. And since you asked - yes, indeed the guitars are way too loud. (And I only say that 'cause you asked). Now that we're over that point - nice tune with a nice melody and decent harmonies. Your girlfriend has a really nice voice - must...

    a ballad? It's true - even rats can be soft and cuddly

    Different kind of vibe, for sure Cool tune - really pop-type intro and then cascading distortion. I like that glissando guitar part - But as 'Ghost' said, "When the extra heavy, distorting guitar kicks in the chorus, the singer didn't emote any differently, and his level stayed the same and...

    From the vaults...

    Edgar1 Man that carries me through some emotional upheaval! It gets downright orchestral - like Bartok meets the electrician! I even like the drum sounds here. I have no idea how you thought this out. I haven't heard a lot of your tunes - I need to listen some more - you visit some interesting...
