Zelmo, I liked both tunes. I thought the vocals were appropriate for the tunes particularly on TJW. I think this was my favorite of the two but I liked the singing in both tunes. Nice blues Ray J

Chris, I like the tune. I thought it had some nice chord voicings, really jazzy and the bass fit well, on the jazzy part. The change caught me by surprise and if I heard the tune a few more times I think the change will begin to make more sense. Nice effort, I'm not gonna comment too much on...

SM I didn't think the gurgling was too loud but I did think either the voice could come up or the guitar could come down, but I think you addressed that. I thought everything else was fine. Nice tune, I liked it, when you mentioned goofy, I was expecting the worse, but it was a really nice...

Larry, I like the energy coming from this one and I too thought the lyrics were cool. I think accompanyment would sound good with this one, and to continue with the white suburban thing, this is kind of a protest song with nothing to protest which was perfect for the style of the song...

Hey dobro, I guess what I didn't mention and meant to was that you're exactly right. Cajun music usually involves a fiddle, accordian and some other percussions like triangles and spoons and stuff, and is generally less 'syncopated', is the word I hear used. What Zydeco has in common with this...

bball jones - Yeah, I'm using the Alesis Sr 16 for drums and the accordian does have buttons instead of piano keys. It's an old accordian and has two rows of keys(buttons) (some 'button' accordians have one row and some have three). You may be on to something about the arrangement. I played...

Fine vocal performance I thought. You sound a little like the guy for the guess who at times. Ditto about the mix, sounded very good from what I could tell. Nice tune Ray J

The quality and volume of my recordings are still not where I would like them to be but I think the mix on this is a little better than some of the other stuff I've posted. The kick drum may sound abnormally loud but it was intentional as this is how a lot of Zydeco sounds. Feedback on the mix...

Really smooth fella. The guitar was really heavy into reverb but it sounded pretty good that way. Not much not to like about this Nice work Ray J

Kabudokan - Thanks for listening. and regarding 'Where Will I Be?" it's funny, with all of the electric stuff I do, this is the song that consistantly gets the most downloads and plays regardless of where it's located on my page. Thanks Ray J

I listened to Amorita. I thought it was pretty good. THe vocals were really good and the mix was clean. A little deeper bass would have helped. I know it's hard to get without clipping however. NIce work Regarding the guitar at the end, yeah, I don't know if it was the panning or, the guitar...

sounds pretty clean. Nice piece Ray J

cyanjaguar - Thanks for checking it out and for the advice. Since I tracked the guitar with flange, I used 2 tracks and they are panned. If I would center them a little more I may be able to get it more up front but may lose something in the stereo image of the flange.........I think.. I may...

Shaky, Great tune. The recording sounded great to me, even the drums and I thought the dry vocals were appropriate for this song and the singing itself was fine. THe instrumentation got really interesting and good as the song progressed. Ray J

Beezelbubba - That's good advice about the kick. I usually end up with about 1 track left over to double something. I usually use it on either the lead vocal or the rythmn guitar. I never thought about trying it with the kick. Next time I need special treatment on the kick I'll try it. Thanks...

Nice tune. Lotta bite in the rythmn guitar. Effects on the vocals were 'effective' and the mix was very good. I like the stuff going on at 2:55 or so. Nice work. Ray J

H2H - Thanks for listening. Here's the situation with the lead guitar. I like the flange sound on my POD more than the flange sound on my effects unit so, I tracked it with flange from my pod. I used to tracks and panned them when mixing down hoping to get the stereo effect back hoping it would...

Matt I've heard a couple of your instramentals in the past so I assumed you didn't sing. THe vocals arent' bad at all and I really like the song itself. The rythmn guitars sound great and so do the solos. I like all whats going on with the guitars in the background. I like this track a lot...

I finally have my own mixdown deck and can now remix when needed. (I was borrowing dats before) I am in serious need of advice. I will try not to be too long-winded but I'd like to supply you guys with some info on my equipment so that you can steer me in the right direction. I normally sing on...

I checked out 2 of your tunes. Careless - very original song, good vocals. The levels sounded right on the mix, the drums were good for a drum machine. I thought the bass was a little soft, not quite enough punch or presence or whatever. Not a big thing and by no means ruined the track. Nice...
