    Busy -- but happy playing live: Tom Petty Cover "Wildflowers"

    K-dub, you are a serial offender when it comes to posting songs for comment without ever commenting on songs others have posted.

    Alternative Pop Rock - Waiting

    Polished mixed. I get what VHS was talking about. It does feel a little odd to have the quieter parts of the song pushed up so loud, even the vocal almost by itself as in the last line of the song. But I guess that's what radio does. I don't remember, it's been so long since I've listed to...

    Recording hi gain electric guitar. Is this two mic configuration viable?

    I have heard of this too. It is used a lot in metal. Somebody sells a mic bracket designed to hold two mics on the right position. I meant to buy one but forgot.

    CD Baby - thoughts?

    You're promoting your music now. Once your album is out, you'll have a product. As you said. Just keep promoting. Try to think of ways to get your music heard or placed. You should also approach bands directly, good ones that might go somewhere. They might cover your song. Keep contacting...

    A project called "At Midnight Lakes" - feedback welcomed

    I listened to the first couple. Sounds pretty good for having been recorded on your phone. I would suggest the acoustic guitars can be a little close and dry. Some vocal clipping going on in the second song. For your next project, you should consider upgrading your setup. You can write...

    CD Baby - thoughts?

    I doesn't seem like physical distribution on a very large scale is going to work through CD Baby. They ask you to send them like 5 or 7 copies if you want to sell the physical CD through them. I didn't check to see if there's some way to get them to increase their stock.

    Talk to your mastering engineer. Massive mentioned that he does some procedure to make the master itunes compatible.

    The Dream's Malfunction

    It is, in the sense that those sentiments would be silly coming from a younger man. Always happy to help Armistice. May your mythical groove become reality! :thumbs up:

    The Dream's Malfunction

    That key or synth tone in the beginning is a bit lofi, like a Casio. It deserves better. I dig the guitar solo. Nice playing. The "I want to be somebody's hero section is the strongest part of the song, by far. The "If I can just keep breathing part" repeated a hundred times adds nothing...

    It worked smoothly for me. The biggest hastle turned out to be the name of our project, River/Men. They did not like the slash. But they dealt with it in the end.

    How do you cheat?

    It's a basic technique. The mix starts with me soloing the bass and kick, followed by snare. Get those working together. Then add the vocals. Then the rest of the drums, keys, guitars, etc. If there is lead and harmony vocals, those require a submix to get the right levels and balance. That...

    There should be an option to crossfade automatically. I'm sure you do already, but if not, set all the million options the way you want then save as your standard template.

    Why Are You Sleeping?

    Welcome to the forum. Good to see new people posting their songs. Don't forget: The Mp3Clinic works on reciprocity. We expect you to comment on other people's tunes too. It sounds nice. Very close and in-your-face. But not the point of being offputting. There's room to add ambiance if...

    Separation and Depth superior in Analog?

    More plugins is not the answer. They just add an overlay of digital crud to whatever you had before. If you want separation and depth, your key tools are the faders and pan controls.

    Separation and Depth superior in Analog?

    I haven't recorded in analog for a long time. But I aim to achieve separation and depth in my mixes--it's a priority. I think I do okay. To me it comes down to a willingness to make artistic choices. If something is louder, front an center, something else must be lower, panned outward, or...
