    "Early Hours" - Philbagg goes Trance

    Trance huh. Interesting. Beat sounds good, deep+tick combo is swell. Atmospherics are good, as are the fills. Expectations extremely high around 4:20. And then... it doesn't fully deliver. Imo, 5:00 onward should swell much, much more. Release at 5:27 is better than I had expected but with my...

    A happy, upbeat song about drugs and death

    I think it's awesome how you have your own sound. A lot of it is the somewhat nasal voice I guess (which I really like), but it's more than that. After listening to this one my brain went "everyone plays acoustic-electric guitar everyone plays ...", I think that's great. I really like the song...

    Yeah the bass on this one sounds much better than the previous one I heard from you. Drums are fantastic, both sound and playing. I have to mention the sound of the guitars. Mind you, I compare this to stuff like QOTSA which I think is apt, but you might completely disagree. They're too thin to...

    @TripleM Glad you liked it. Yeah vocal dbs... I'm mulling it over to be sure. I'll up it and run it through the monitors again. You should change your nickname to "CrackleFinder" or "SnapDetector" or something like that. I have otosclerosis in both ears, practically deaf on the left side, so I'm...

    Deep

    Hey that sounds really good squibble. Nice, full, driven sounds. The ride could be a bit louder about 4/5ths in. Other than that I got nothing, can't wait for those vocals.

    accoustic demo

    Hm, I guess you have a point. @kenneth I apologize, I shouldn't have bluntly stated my personal preference about certain kinds of songs or music. Sorry.

    accoustic demo

    I guess they want a bit of both, Rami? The song sounds very tinny. Not much low-end left. I guess it's particularly jarring in the vocals. Actually no it's in the guitar as well. I think this was recorded with a suboptimal mic? If you recorded everything at once, you could consider recording...

    Recording a piano

    Well yes, of course you're right. I'm not going to disagree with that lineup. I have experience in sculpting sounds with synthesizers, where eq and all the other friends you mentioned just become more parameters to tweak your sound with. Just more knobs. My ways of recording a piano and a bass...

    Recording a piano

    Thanks guys. @Miroslav Two mics, I would love to be able to do that. Mine's just an electric piano so impossible to do, but it hadn't even occurred to me. You did both and conclude "whatever works for your mix". That's good to know. Cheers. See also my response to @grimtraveler Thanks for the...

    Recording a piano

    Hi all. Suppose you have a poppy piano piece with left & right hand, and you want to turn it into a full blown song (e.g. drums, bass, piano, organ, guitar, vocals), keeping the original piano piece as is. Would you record the left and right hand separately, or just record the whole piece in one...

    Heavy stuff...Thoughts?

    I hear ya. Life has a tendency to start making slightly more sense once you stop trying to get it, I find.

    Now that's a fact. Fixing it is much more of a challenge than it seems though, I'm still in denial about it I guess. I can't either. I'm sure it's a valid comment and following remarks on previous stuff I posted I did go back to it and upped the vocals somewhat. I get torn though, my...

    Somewhat funky, almost a song to dance to. A song about you, me, the collective, and illusionary democracies. Fake drums galore. In fact everything but the guitars and the vocals is fake, technically speaking. Don't even bother typing "less is more', this one's beyond redemption. Fruit of the...

    Message to you

    Yeah the distorted guitars sound like static, I think they're supposed to be in-your-face wall of distortion? Radical changes in eq-ing are needed for that. Kick is too shiny, and if it has reverb on it I'd take that off. Seriously, it's not really possible to say anything else about the loud...

    True Love cover

    I can barely hear your bass? Isn't it tied in completely with the low end of your guitar recording? I think so. So your bass becomes an indiscernible mass. The whole song through I can hear your plectrum raking over the guitar strings, I think it's too pronounced. Other people might like it I...

    Heavy stuff...Thoughts?

    Hmm, seems to be a safari issue. Works fine in FF. Whatever. No more burden. Definitely my favourite of the two. Good, as a song and mixwise. I mean 3:17 on, very cool. Percussion fits the song very well, solo guitar is well placed, as are the vocals. I guess my main issue would be bass...

    Heavy stuff...Thoughts?

    Right, I found your reverbnation page through a workaround. I'll comment later.

    Heavy stuff...Thoughts?

    Erm, reverbnation is asking me to log in, and refreshing myspace doesn't seem to do very much.

    [Help me with my MIX] :)

    When you sing "why is it always so hard to follow the inner side of [I don't hear what you're singing next]" the pronunciation of "the" is not buried in the mix, the typical sound of the th is mostly just pronounced too harshly, too much 'z' in it. "Others than yourself", right, my bad. Here...
