    Little blues shuffle -- "Sweet Marguerita"

    What a great song! I liked the recording very much, though it seemed to lack the "glue" some refer to on my first listen but I think that would detract from the feel of this recording after listening again without focusing on parts. The slide with delay really gives it a personality and I love...

    Loneliness V2

    I liked this too, great blues with a little grit! I especially liked the way the lead played off the rhythm guitar and I probably focused on that too much. I agree the bass was not as present as I would have liked, but I think it was more a matter of body than volume, maybe find a nice mid freq...

    What? Too early?

    Just in on this now, sounds great! It's not too early, you can't wait till December to record the song. I like the song itself a lot, and at this point for my first listen the recording is great, I know I missed some revs. I loved the vocal tricks in the middle eight and I thought the sound...

    The cool parts of my job

    Cool, guitar tone is on the money too. So now we know the guy who plays on "the accompanying CD".

    Smooth talker

    That's a very good song and the mix of old and new tracks feels seamless. I felt an overall lack of high end in the frequency balance, and in particular I wanted more presence in the snare and sparkle in the cymbals, high-mids and highs respectively. Maybe aptly an exciter to the overall mix...

    cufflinks

    I just listened now and the first thing I noticed was the vocal reverb, I really love the space this is in for aesthetic (meaning "I don;t know why") reasons, it just sounds great to me. I'm not a fan of the dryer and close vocal on a guitar and vocal mix usually because it reminds me too much...

    Writing bad songs

    Wow, that takes all the fun out of it. At least it seems industry folk recognize the limits of HSS. I have to support the "no good or bad" camp, unless I write a song encouraging people to start committing random child murders, that would be a "bad song", right? I think being a songwriter and...

    I don't dare you to not listen to this......

    I really enjoyed this one, the mix and in particular the sounds and tones are fantastic. The guitars and your vocals are ear candy, which really confirms yours and Greg's statements about pre-production. I like the song a lot too, cool lyrics and melodies/harmonies. I wasn't satisfied by the...

    fritsthegirls's Opus

    I like song/lyric structures that break the mold, we enjoy complete freedom as artists and I love to see it exercised. One of my favorite songs that I wrote had the verses repeat and I changed the chorus each time around instead, but I sometimes feel a little unimaginitive when I come up with a...

    Safe European Home - The Clash cover by The Greg

    Love The Clash, they brought me out of my Prog Rock phase violently. This recording is bewst described as "delicious", the sounds and tone on each track are just executed so well it's a sonic smorgasbord. On another note, I have developed solid respect for you and several other of the "pilars"...

    fritsthegirls's Opus

    I like this song very much but most interesting to me was the way the recording's dynamics changed as you added prts and then dropped them out at certain points, particularly the drums and sometimes just the cymbols. The elctric and acoustic work together very nicely. I really like the drum part...

    No Room Mixing

    Most disturbing is the link at the bottom of that article . . . •Russians test a gun that turns people into zombies I'm pretty sure they used it on my ex.

    DAWs GRRRRRRRRRR!

    Wow, that guy disappeared. I have found that most DAWs have channels on Youtube where many tutorials are aggregated, no hunting required. I think his bet bet might be GarageBand, that's fairly child-like.

    "The Long Autumn's Fall into Winter"

    I think this is a fine production of a cool song with some personality, meaning unique in a way that I love. I have a hard time myself not ending up with productions that sound formulaic, so original arrangements always impress me. I also second the compliments on the guitars, I love the sound...

    "One Breath Away"....

    Love this This is a great song, I just love the overall vibe. The mix is well crafted as everything seems to occupy it's own space to me. I really like where the drums are and the vocal blends while retaining an amzing presence, your silvery voice doesn't hurt either. The only things I mught...

    No DAWs Allowed

    Right on fat_fleet! As much as I appreciate fine instruments and cool gear and tools, too many superior creations have been produced with bare-bones equipment to ignore the fact that it is way more important WHAT you're doing than what you're doing it with.

    No DAWs Allowed

    Some great songs buried in old tech here. You guys got some amazing results with your equipment. I remember being encouraged hearing that "street Fightin Man" was recorded on a portable deck in a hotel room, and there was an added sense of pride in making something sound good the hard way. This...

    Sonar LE with Amplitube X Gear

    You have Amplitube installed as a VST and are inserting this in the FX on your track?

    Rats and witches...

    yes a joke My comment about the accent was tongue in cheek, a great many wonderful songs have been recorded with an English accent. I suppose I'm the type that likes to get a rise out of people but I meant no offense. I like this song and your voice is lovely! I like the 2nd new version, the...

    Some mindless/artsy hard rock

    slick work This sounds very good to me, performance and production are tight and thick. I like the mix and things seem positioned nicely. I did notice the vocal fall out some leading into the first chorus, and I would prefer to hear the backing vocals a little higher in the chorus because they...
