You have not considered all possible hypotheses: 3. A setting that sounds great "in the room" will not necessarily sound great through the electronic ear of a microphone. Forget how it sounds in the room. Focus on getting a great sound through the mic. That may require totally different...

Close miking a guitar cab should be pretty forgiving of room noises, but there's a limit to anything. If possible, get the cab out of the room so that you can monitor the miked signal through your monitors without room noise interfering. That will save you time in the long run, since you can...

I'm surprised the Mesa wouldn't give you that soaring lead. That's kind of what they do.

Not for some time. His new hangout is Recordingrebels(dot)com.

Not hearing a problem with the guitars on the track I listened to. Louder and fuller guitars don't necessarily sound more powerful. Sometimes the opposite is true.

Hi Nick. Is this going to be an instrumental? It deserves lyrics and a vocal IMO. You have at least three sections there for a verse, chorus and bridge. Some of thr patches sound a little cheesy, esp. the ones at the end. The lead synth might be okay when you fold it into a full mix...

Bass sounds too loud on my studio monitors.

Looks great man. Can't wait to hear it!

Nice groove and voice. There's some inconsistency in your lead vocal level that is making it harder to slot into the mix. I'd do some manual leveling and compression, then automate if needed You song is lacking low end. I'm hearing more percussion than kick and bass. I'd rebuild the mix...

It's promising. Good voice. The song needs variation. Maybe a bridge? Maybe modulate up later in the song? Every line repeats the same melody. Try mixing it up. Go higher on some lines. Vary the emotional level of the delivery. There are some timing issues I'm hearing between bass and...

I don't know anything about Cakewalk, but I assume any full-feature DAW will have this capability. In Reaper, I would built out the tracks the way I want them, put them all in a folder, and save that folder as a track template. Then I can insert the template tracks into any song.

Also agreed. The acoustic guitar level is all over the place. Sometimes it steps on the vocal, other times it is too soft. Good playing. If all the treble instruments are on one compressor bus, check to see if compression is causing the guitar to pop in and out.

Welcome.

Don't buy outmoded standalone recorders. In the long run it is money down the drain. You can get an interface cheap.

The verse sounds good. The chorus is a letdown. It isn't hooky enough, and the phrasing of lyrics sounds mechanical. The lyrics felt more natural in the verse. Yeah, it is pretty compressed.

Four years of daily use for my pair. Completely trouble free.

And here is another rhythm track with the Origin 20, this time blended with a Vox AC15 head. Marshall is on the left, Vox on the right. Both are played with the P90 Gibson SG Special into the V30 closed back cab with an SM57. I've been diming the master volume on the Origin and setting the...

Marshall Origin 20 watt head, full power setting Here is the same arrangement with full power setting, and all of it loud! (Or so I'm told... the speakers are in a different room and I'm monitoring through my studio monitors at a hearing-friendly level). 1. Doubled rhythm guitars. Left is...

The ambiance comes from a Strymon Timeline delay and TC Hall of Fame reverb in the loop.

There isn't lacking much. It's a seriously groovy arrangement and a promising song. Don't give up on writing vocal songs just because your voice isn't up to par. I've got the same problem. Find singers for an online collaboration. If you can write the songs, you can find people to sing...
