Well I'm not a native English speaker myself, but here goes: I'm not sure about "hear me out in what I have to say", I'm pretty sure that's just not correct grammatically. "These buckets fill them with gold", not "viz buckets fill zem with gold". "The" you pronounce as "ve". "Decision and...

Yeah mixwise this sounds pretty good to me. I like the guitar playing, and the sound of the solo guitar very much. At some point there's a woody click layered on top of your kick. It's annoying. The snare is very dry, a bit boring after a while. I think the guitar solo is too loud. There are...

Your myspace and reverbnation link don't work... Well the myspace works but there's no songs on there?

Haha that sounds ridiculous! It's spot on for what you need I think. Instantly reminded me of Spyro. Where are the days? The melody and harmony are appropriately harmless, almost sterile. Bass is a bit far back I think. You can hear it do all kinds of figures especially near the end, and it's...

Hi stickboy, yeah that sounds good. Too sleepy to my taste but who cares? There's something odd about the 'solo' in the intro. 0:09-0:10 are a clear example. It's like the guitar tune is off or the playing ruins a couple of notes. Just briefly though, and you said you would re-record. Voice...

Compression is meant to lower the volume by a certain amount when the signal hits a certain threshold. It's not "supposed" to make anything crackly or chirpy. If it does, you're overdoing it which in certain cases can be what you want. If you're not happy with the result, it isn't. I was...

That's some chain :) Yes, better still than the second version. I mean I think you pretty much kept the jangler at the start, but then at 0:06 there's this second one that comes to its rescue and then they start dancing together, that's a good idea. Throughout the song the guitars are starting...

woah yeah, that's definitely better. I knew I liked the synthy sounds, they're more prominent now, adds a lot to the atmosphere. You really managed to pull stuff apart a bit, nice. See I have to agree with VomitHatSteve on the jangly. Definitely sounds better now, but it's still very sharp and...

Look underneath. :laughings: No seriously, you could experiment with automating resonance, cutoff, etc. Kind of like the wah of synths.

Still nothing...

Joza, no not midi, I'll never do midi pianos - a silly pride thing. It's an audio recording. Thanks for offering your help though!

Shazam! Those are some extremely interesting topics being talked about during coffee. You're on to something here. If you haven't already, listen to some Primal Scream if you want some similar tunes. I'd say more definition on the bass. The drums are very heavy, which is really good, but I have...

Forget the word 'mud', sorry shouldn't have used it. I mean it all kind of coalesces.

hey rayc, it's very treble-y, almost harsh sounding. Too many FX on the guitars? I'd say more bass all around. I think that would do wonders to integrate the drums, which right now sound a bit decoupled from the rest. I have problems with the sound of the snare and the crash, do you have better...

Nice simple tune. Reminds me of the band Spain. There's some major hiss in there judging by the first second. I think one uses a gate for that, or a retake. Your kick sounds a bit woody. The singing could be better, it sounds a bit lackluster and it's off key here and there. I'm not sure about...

See in my head it keeps going to what I think amounts to G# Major and it has a piano (which would fit the whole song well), a fragile violin that plays a semi-sad melody as the voice takes a break, and maybe a xylophone, a small one to add to the "driving alone at night" atmosphere. Which might...

Link doesn't work?

I got nothing man. I liked it the first time I listened and I liked it again. Sounds good to me. If I force myself I'd say a bit heavy on the low end but I tend to like that. Voice is really good, guitar sounds nice and warm. You could do with variation, a bridge, something like that. The theme...

Hi StrictlyB, about the pan, I'd try to pan it less. See what happens. About the double layered vocals, it's not that it doesn't work, I'm sure some people will say it works fine as it is. But I'm guessing it's twice the same vocalist? It's also sung in exactly the same way twice. Which is fine...

Hey StrictlyB, I enjoyed that. I like the voice, and things like "glutton for monotony" are really good. The panned voice maybe stands out a little bit. The timing's good but it kind of pulled me out of the flow for a second. I also think the contrast between the double vocals could be improved...
