Yeah, I can see some distinction between favourite albums and most influential. I can think of a few albums I’d probably include in my top 10 records, but don’t consider particularly influential – and vice versa. Can see plenty I know and love from Nola and Tad’s lists in particular, but...

Not at all easlern. There's some stuff on your list that I know and enjoy. What's Going On's obviously a classic, I like War on Drugs and Spoon, Caribou are a firm favourite in our house and The Loon is an all round excellent record. For some reason I never bought anything by Tapes n' Tapes...

Good to hear something new from you KC. Analogue wankfest is all good with me! So how did you make it - nice new hardware, those volca boxrs or analogue sounding software? Plenty of good hooks throughout to keep the interest. Not sure if you're looking for any mix feedback, but some of those...

Mix sounds great Beagle & your wife's vocals are very nice. The only thing that struck me was that I don't think the lead tone on the solo matches the style of the rest of the arrangement. You've made a folky, natural sounding take on the original, but then there's quite a traditional Floyd...

Hey Ray, Ive listened to this a few times over the last week but haven't had chance to comment. The file naming looks similar to that of the LLB masters – so I’m guessing this has been to Fran for mastering already? Sounds great and performances of course all excellent. All the parts come...

Hi, I think this has lots of cool stuff in it. The twin spoken word parts work really well and I think texture rather than clarity is fine. I largely agree with Trip in that the lead guitar part would be good to bring up a bit and about the snare. The kick was the main thing that stuck out...

I listened to mix 2. Sounds excellent - enjoyed the song, the playing and all the parts sound well balanced. Nothing came across as bei g out of whack to me. Nice work all three of you :)

Yeah, definitely something different Pete which is great. I got the images of a man in a rubber monster suit being attacked by fake jets while stomping models of buildings in slow motion. All that was very evident, but no helicopters I'm afraid. Not sure if that constitutes failure or not...

Hey Bubba, coincidently just PM'd you before I saw this. Don't feel bad about it at all, I took it as brutally honest rather than meant with any malice and I'm okay with the former. If you do get chance to listen in again today then great though - as I say I made a few tweaks this morning to at...

Hey Bubba, thanks for your thoughts and frankness anyway. Is it just the latest mix you're not keen on or the direction in general? I know you replied earlier in the thread, but weren't somewhere you could listen critically. In all honesty and not saying this because I won't accept criticism...

Hi Nola, thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts. In the past, my mixes were always too bassy, now they're too middly! The next batch will be too trebly and eventually I'll hit balance... I wasn't going to attempt another mix at this time, but with yours and Robus's comments in mind, I got drawn...

Yeah, it was an observation rather than a recommendation - maybe didn't phrase it too well. You look on the hosting platform and see some joe schmo with one song with 10,000 plays and a load of comments posted that make no sense, and you know that about 10 of the clicks are from genuine...

Excellent, thanks for listening back in Trip. Your feedback was really helpful - got me focused the bottom end. I initially turned up the bass, but as I started clearing up other parts there was more space in that area and I ended up turning it back down a bit again. Helpful re the spread too...

Interesting, thanks again BH. I think it's incredibly impressive if you're getting those kind of clicks whether 350 or 500 a week and enough from streams to break a single dollar. I guess that's why I've kept pushing to try and understand what you're doing to generate that. The internet's...

Thanks for replying BH. As I say I wasn't trying to hold you to account, just interested in how you got there & how a small number of 'followers' on soundcloud at least would generate so many plays. Covers seem to get a lot more plays than originals - nobody seems to be trawling soundcloud for...

Sorry Robus, I preferred the last mix I think - the vocals are just slightly too far out in front for me now. I liked where they sat on the last mix. Going from memory (I thought I'd downloaded the google link, but doesn't appear to be so), but the harmonies sound a little more prominent in...

Thanks again Pete, I'm guessing you're probably pretty sick of hearing this tune now in whatever form it comes! I promise there won't be a third version... ;) I'm not 100% sure myself which are all your parts and which are mine any more! The distorted tremelo is definitely you. I think there...

Ok, this caught my eye. You really getting around 500 plays per week on your music BroKen? I didn't think anyone on this site would be getting anywhere near this level of clicks - that's like 26,000 plays per year! :eek: I'd think you would need to be gigging regularly, have a strong...

You guys have done an excellent job here. The writing, performances and mix all sound great and you've all done well to make all the contributions sound like they're operating in the same space. I've always got a soft spot for songs about travel and movement and place, so this works well for me...

Thanks a lot for your time and your thoughts ido. There's a lot going on in the upper mids, so I think you may well be right and it's all become a bit stacked. I' ll take a look over the weekend and see where needs taming a touch. Good to hear everything else is coming through okay. Cheers :)...
