    Diary of Jane cover - Hard rock mix

    You are a one-man wrecking crew - this rocks! I'd like to hear you do an original in this style. I'm a fan of SSD, so I think they sounded pretty good. Gtrs sound good, I gotta try that plugin, but they might have been a touch loud or harsh - something slightly fatigued my ear by the end - I...

    New member = new music!

    The good news is that you are quite productive as an artist. Just submit one song at a time and we'll give you the best advice we can, based upon each of our preferences, prejudices and tastes of course. The toe-tappin thing is just a 'preference' of mine - you gotta go with your muse.

    Second Mix (New to mixing, thirteen years old)

    Yea, I should have! But, then I'd have revealed myself to be a bigger idiot than I already am! I didn't make that connection when I read the "thanks Dad" part.....Duhh. Seriously though, he's got some monster talent for 13 if he's doing all this stuff himself! You are brave, letting him...

    Ace of Spades

    I thought you were a rocker dude! ...small town in Utah? Can't be as small as my home town in N.Cali. and I still managed to get MTV on a satellite dish in the country during the 80's. just playin' ;):D

    Ace of Spades

    You 'put this together yesterday afternoon'!? :eek: :confused:What, really?! It takes me that long to get my guitar plugged in and tuned! This is very well done :). I was impressed how you handled the vocals, because nobody can 'do' Lemmy. You can gargle with gravel, razor blades and...

    Second Mix (New to mixing, thirteen years old)

    Autotune? You mean your voice doesn't do that naturally? :eek: JK, hey man, not bad for your second attempt. Yea, the drums need work, I think. I mean if you want that weak pop sound, then no, but I think hard drums sound good in any genre. I'm most impressed that you stuck with posting...

    It's kind of personal now. "Pot Of Gold"

    Dude! I think it's much better. Remember, I was the first comment to say that I wanted you (the song) to kick me in the teeth and a little cup-check too? Everybody else has been kicking your butt on this mix and finally I can say that I felt some breeze on this one and that I was being...

    "Like a Wave" a collab with a new HR member (alba320)

    Was one of the mistakes your fill-seizure just before the fade? I'm not sure it was too off timing-wise, but it sounded like you almost fell off your kit! :eek: I laughed out loud. :laughings: Then I just wrote the bass-line into it - fixed. :D I also enjoyed the challenge after all of mixing...

    Constructive criticism please

    First off, you have a good voice for this stuff and it happens to be the best sounding instrument in the mix. I'll throw you my 2 bits about SSD if you want. I like them and use them a lot. Here's what works for me: I don't do anything to SSD drums. No eq. No verb. No mixing. Coming...

    New member = new music!

    I listened to Release. Nice guitar riff, but you got timing problems with the performance of it and the vocals are kinda lifeless. I played a few seconds of other tunes and notices them all to have a low-end wave smothering all of them. I'm not sure what you want to sound like, but you could...

    "Like a Wave" a collab with a new HR member (alba320)

    Ok, tamed the volume in the intro, cut 15db off the bottom snare, and nudged the drums. :D Like a Wave (real drums) by bjsmusic on SoundCloud - Create, record and share your sounds for free

    Island Hideaway

    If your signature is accurate, then you got ripped-off if you didn't record this at home. I'm not really sure how hip-hop drums and guitar should be mixed, but I can hear both, so that's good.

    "Like a Wave" a collab with a new HR member (alba320)

    Yea, that's gonna be a hoot - I should Youtube myself pulling my scant remaining hairs out while trying to get these damn things to behave like my beloved fake drums! :eek::confused: The dynamics of the real kick and snare hits are forcing me to change my usual mix formula. I guess I gotta...

    Dead Inside....revisited

    What I was trying to say in my schitzo way is that I don't think the drums needed fixing at all. 'EZ' was a joke, I knew they were better than that :). Ditto Gerry's comment. :)

    Dead Inside....revisited

    Style-wise, I think it's very Soundgardenish, but still 100% Joey :)! That don't add up...don't worry I'm a teacher. I like the guitar tone on this a lot man:D:D! Way better than 'mudgarden' anyway. I like the clean tone too. Did you use a very different setup for each of them? Although, I...

    New Song "Moving On" - Looking for Mix Feedback

    Hey Dave - Great song and your voice has a great timbre on this tune. I listened to both versions - twice as nice! :) Everything was just so....crisp and clear, you can hear everything (except some of the back ups) so up close in the comp mix. The no comp mix was a little subdued, but I liked...

    Thanks Ray, I'm not sure I did any miracles, but I'm pretty happy with it. I can' t wait to here real drums on it. :)

    What's your reference CD/Song when you mix?

    I can feel the hate even before I write it, but I have to say that I use Daughtry's 'No Surprise.' I like how everything is in your face, but it all has it's own clear space :o. I also like pull up a Shania Twain (Mutt's the man) tune, John Mellencamp "hurts so good" :eek:, and Van Halen -...

    It's kind of personal now. "Pot Of Gold"
