IMO the biggest problem is the guitars. Maybe it's just because I'm a guitar player it's the most noticable for me. What amp/modeler are you using? If it's solid state, I'd try to rent a tube amp for a day. You mentioned the 11 rack guitar interface. That's a modeling unit right? I've heard they...

Please put up an mp3 or better yet use soundcloud.

Sounds great. The drums sound good, so you should bring them up more.

The mix needs more treble. The bottom end is muddy and it seems like the the bass, vocals and drums are all fighting over the same frequencies. Also the guitars have fizz on the top. I'd either cut the highs somewhere between 1.5khz and 4khz(use your ears), or re-record them and move the mic...

Sounds really good. Nice guitar work. The stuff with the whammy bar sounds great. How did you record it?

I'll can give you something if you want. You can either try that song I posted a week or 2 ago or I can let you have another short song/improv I did.

I'd work on the drums, they don't sound right to me. Maybe that's the sound you're going for, but if it's not I'd fix them. They sound like cardboard to me. The vocals sounded pretty good, but the drums and lack of bass kind of killed the song for me. On the bright side, depending on how you...

The snare doesn't have enough body and it's too soft. In general the drums sound soft and unrealistic. How are you doing them? Do you have and overhead track for the drums? I'd also work on the bass a little. Maybe little boost in the upper mid range. The guitars didn't sound too bad. Once...

Thank you to everyone for the feedback. I'm in the process of recording more songs, so I might need some help again with my mixing, arrangements, etc. I just wanted to say to everyone that posted in this thread, that their kind words and criticisms are appreciated.

I liked it. It sounded like prog rock to me too. I didn't hear any odd meters or anything, but the instrumentation and the mixing reminded me of 1970s YES, King Crimson or Gentle giant. It has a vintage feel to it. Sounds nice. The drums sounded real to me, but they sound like an older recording...

I liked both. I liked the arrangement of "Tear it apart" better, but I thought the mixing in Judge sounded more professional. There are some small things in there that bugged me at points. A few times the vocals sounded didn't sound right(maybe intonation), but it wasn't a major problem. Overall...

I like the beat, but does it have any bass? I hear the bass drum, but I don't hear a bass or a bass synth. IMO it needs something else on the bottom end. I like those fast little 3 notes, but I think they would sound even better if you doubled them with a bass and the bass drum. The vocal sounds...

I changed the drums a little. Added a few fills and things. Some places I think it helped and some places maybe I made it sound worse, but its at least less monotonous. Anyway thanks for all the comments.

Thanks for compliments and advice. The drums are monotonous out of laziness, tomorrow or the next I'll try to fix them by adding in a few fills and changing a few hits here and there. I wrote and recorded it in a little less than a week. I was rushing to finish it for my wife's birthday(still...

Nobody has any comments? Mix is bad, playing sucks, terrible song, etc? I'll try to embed the song, so it'll be easier to listen to. http://soundcloud.com/chandlerhimself/enoshima

I liked it. The song reminds me of David Lee Roths' solo albums. I don't know how you feel about that, but I really love those albums. Nice vocals, good mix, great guitar tones and nice playing. I liked it and to be honest I don't have much criticism. That mesa sounds really nice.

I think maybe its an eq thing, but I'm not the person to talk to about vocals. Basically at some parts it seems to stick out and at others it's getting buried. It also doesn't seem to be meshing well with the rest of the song for whatever reason. Take my advice with a grain of salt, but the...

Amps sims have improved a lot over the years and I think they're to the point now you could record a song with them if you wanted. I doubt anyone would be able to tell. The problem would be the feel. I know I can tell the difference when I'm playing, but when you take into account the...

Sounds fine to me. The only thing you might change is adding a little more to the mids, but not too much and don't let it interfere with the bass. The guitars sound like strats to me. They don't sound thick like a stereotypical les paul. That said it's not really a problem it just might not...

Is it for a soundtrack? I like the mix and the arrangement, but the hits are pretty loud compared to the rest of the song. For a soundtrack having those kind of dynamics might be good though. As a guitar player I'd like to hear the lead guitar a little louder. It sounded like it was being over...
