Thanks, SLuiCe. You're a gentleman and a scholar. It's really difficult to get people to actually listen and give cohesive, rational reviews of mixes and songs here, I've found. Or maybe my stuff just sucks that bad. I don't know. Anyway, as Bartles & Jaymes would say, "Thanks for your support."...

Nice attention to detail. Lot's of little perks here. The solo guitar could use a bit more bite in the highs. Love the off-time rhythm guit. Good vox, and harmonies. A bit Lennon-ish in spots, if you don't mind the comparison. I also like the layering. Love the cymbal roll at the beginning...

Damn, Sabbath, you are so right! The thin drums are a big part of the problem. This song started as a techno song and sort of transmogrified into a harder song (happens a lot with me). Having spent so many hours listening to it in progress, the drum sound never dawned on me. Unfortunately, I...

Very Santana-meets-somebody. Not sure who. Good guitar, as usual from you. The drums lack a little presence, on this end. They don't have a lot of "punch," which would sound really good with the staccato percussiveness of this song. And it would be nice if they changed up a bit here and there...

Sorry, I didn't care for it. Good "drum" sounds, but overall it was a little too repetitive and too ELP for my taste (and I still listen to YES). If you're going to do instrumental, emulate Propellerheads or Swallow or Joe Satriani or Chemical Brothers or Meat Beat Manifesto or Ethyl Meatplow --...

Okay, I know something's wrong here, but I can't quite figure out what. I only recently discovered the joys of compression, which has helped me tremendously, but I still find something lacking in this mix. Give me some advice on: Everyone Will See...

Not my style of music, but I have to agree with other posts on how compelling your voice is. I'd love to hear you sing something with a full band behind you. That song would be even more tear-jerking with a soft piano part in the background. Do you play piano? Oh, well, just my two coins. I'm...

Few songs compell me to respond... I listen to lots of songs on this site, and for most of them, I listen politely and move on to the next one. But this one compelled me to respond. You probably hate being compared to popular artists, as do I, but you are totally channeling Fiona Apple here...

I actually have two new songs and one remix, but I know how people freak out on this forum if you ask them to listen to more than one song... so... I recently wrote That's Alright With Me. Take a listen and tear it apart. You know you want to...

Nice interlude at about 1:10. I have to agree that it seems to build with no money shot. It teases me but never really puts out, so to speak. A burst of energy in the vocals and guitar at some point would really get my skin tingling. Go a little crazy somehwere 2/3 of the way through to take it...

Nice f-ing harmonies! Overall, a little too Creed for me (I detest them), but still very well put together, and I DID enjoy it. I have to agree with the vocals too loud and drums too weak (except the bass drum) comments, but they aren't fatal flaws or anything... just opportunities for...

THanks for the feedback. powderfinger: I'm using an ElectroVoice MC100 dynamic mic. It's, like, a $60 mic. I have REALLY limited equipment. What do I gain with a condenser mic? How much more will that cost? Kevin Allen: How do I punch up the bass and make it "float" less? Thanks!

Here I go: Couple of flat notes vocally, but nothing too terrible. You have a very interesting voice. Nice etherealness to the keyboards. Didn't like the bass drum -- or the snare, actually. None of the percussion, really. But that might just be taste. Nice keyboard solo around 1:45, but a...

I have mixing troubles, too, but here's my 2 c: Vocals are a little loud, harsh, variable. Maybe compression and EQ? Automation? What do you record with? Nice, laid-back, on-the-beach, drink-a-beer kind of sound. It's really well-done, honestly. It's fun to listen to, the vocals just don't...

Ignore the attachment. I screwed that up. Still new here. Use the NoWhereRadio link. I'll learn. :-)

I tend to have lifeless mixes. I don't know all the ins and outs of compression, eq, reverb, et al. Listen to this song, "This Is My Head," and give me some technical advice on how to make it sound more ALIVE! I want some punch to my songs. Maybe it's just because I'm a sucky vocalist...

That was Twisted I was commenting on, by the way. Just listened to Cry. Most of the same comments apply except for the fact that your vocalist did a better job on that and it was much more imaginative on the guitar. This one impressed me quite a bit more. Very nice job. Still need more balls in...

I'm only a newbie here, so I don't carry much weight. I can only tell you what I did and didn't like. The mix sounded relatively good to me, overall. Nothing jumped out and smacked me in the face, which puts you in the top 40% of what I've listened to. Your drummer is the shit. Keep him. If...

Wow. Thanks for the feedback. I was a little worried after Jake-Owa told me I wouldn't get much reaction for having more than one song. I didn't realize this was strictly a mixing clinic (I know it says that, but I read through the posts, and there was a lot of song critique in it). I've always...

Okay, I'm a newbie, so I know my opinion is worth about as much as a bucket of warm hamster vomit, but I think this is rather impressive. I'll grant that the vocal level comes and goes a bit, but this is a very full, reasonably tight, and completely fun song to listen to. Nice job on the...
