Swell, thanks guys. Here goes. @heatmiser: Different but same unusual, that's really great, thanks. I was thinking of pushing one vocal back with eq and reverb, actually. I'll fool around with it and see if I can get some good results. As for trying to figure out my sound: that makes two of us...

@Nakatira: I'm glad you liked it! @TripleM: aye, the layering of the vocals is loose. I don't necessarily mind them being 'off' so much, but I can see that it might jar on the first couple of listens. Resinging is needed, extra care will be taken with the glue. @auburncatfish: One vocal track...

Hi Seafroggys, I like the mix. The guitar on the right could be a bit brighter maybe? I like all the drum sounds. The 'breakthrough' around 1:37 really works, it takes off. That to me means that the instruments work well together. The organ seems like 1 loooong note from time to time though. Is...

I just had a fiddle with it. I don't know what went wrong with your monitors, I have a hard time believing you could hear those 'drums' on there. Which, I think, need re-recording. I didn't bother taking care of the noise. I could've quantized them, but that shouldn't be necessary. Anyway, here...

That's... awesome! I agree with the soundscape variation. I will look into this as I write new songs. I've seen you post articles on here. If you know of any good ones about arrangement, that would be swell. This is going to keep following me huh? More is also more, dammit! :D Thanks jeffmaher.

Hi all, this one's always been hard to mix. I went back to it after I thought about comments on caveman blues and I think I improved it. Removed most of the compression and limiting, and tried to summon and channel general renewed self-criticism. If there's anything you can think of, do let me...

Sounds great, and has a nice buildup. So you'll be adding more stuff to the end, right? That should be awesome. :D I agree with tripleM about the thingy on the left, though. It stands out and can be distracting indeed. There's a clank somewhere (I'd say around three fifths) that seems sort of...

Again, bravo. The delay at the start is great, a tad too loud to my taste. I definitely hear Jeff Buckley in the voice. Second time you've made something I really like a lot. Keep going man, you could really shine. Sorry for not having usable mixing comments, I just can't listen to it that way...

I agree, cymbals and snare are too bright. Consistency of the drums could also be improved, although some variation is nice, makes it sound natural. Voice is good, sits well on bass and guitar. The solo guitar is a bit far away from time to time. E.g. the solo at 4:11 puts the drums way up...

Really nice, clean. The radio filter on the voice ('wouldn't it be so nice') works, but it's too loud and stands out too much. I'd make it a little bit dirtier and try and make it fit in better (pan maybe?). I see what you're trying to do with the static and I think the idea is good, but for...

Well I think it's pretty close... My poor Celestions though. It's very bass heavy. Like at 1:24 and 2:08, isn't at least one thing clipping? Sounds like it to me, in any case my speakers almost blew out. I'd rein her in a bit in the low ends. Also, I don't know of much commercial stuff that uses...

If this is directed at my post, I sincerely apologize if you saw it as too off-topic. It wasn't on purpose, I was just trying to help someone who clearly just started out (like me), seemed stuck and got no response (which, frankly, sucks). That said, I think I fail to see what the topic of the...

I think this is fantastic. Screw the kick. More!

Calling all the what? This is strangely addictive. I really like your voice 90% of the time. I don't like the speedup just after halfway the song. It loses its personality I find. The chorus is really good man. How about you do some polyphonic "background" vocals to warm it up a little, and...

Incidentally now that the thread's been bumped let me just say my wife agrees with y'all and thinks this song's a mess. :spank:

Thanks stevieb! Musically I think this has nothing to do with blues. It mostly refers to the story of the song, yearning for a more natural lifestyle. I can't do blues, silly :rolleyes: Hardware-wise, without going in to detail let's just say I have to make do with what is at my disposal, which...

That's a Korg?? Damn I bought myself the wrong fake piano. I'd turn up the electric piano a bit. Or maybe not, I can't decide. Actually yes, I think they're too quiet. On a personal note, some barbs might be nice. It's very smooth. But I think that was your intention in which case: bravo.

I like the vocals as well, except the first phrase, bit too "on top", and the part just before the solo ("I keep falling", and just before that). I think the rhythm guitar is a bit too, hmm, smeared out soundwise? I guess the parlance is "lacks definition". Bit more crunch. No qualms about the...

Hell yeah that organ kicks butt. Funky stuff. Your snare does something quite odd at 2:30. Might be on purpose. It does sound a bit thin throughout. Other than that I can't find any problems. This one got me smiling, thanks.

:laughings: You should see my 'room'. You'd stop responding after saying 'get a better room'. It's 7x10 feet... I do listen in cars, on headphones, friends' systems, etc. Yeah... Your honesty is much appreciated. Maybe I fool myself into not hearing how big of a mess my mix really is...
