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

    Thanks Joe! The only unsigned dude I've heard that can even hold a candle to your voice and he's not even a member of the HR. You can't blame me for wanting to be a part of this! Jason is hard at work on the real drums now and he promises a sweet ride :D. BTW - "You" got a ton of hits on...

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

    It was fun to do Jason! I was glad to be able to give something back for a change :) and on Mother's Day too - Oh shoot, wife's commin' gotta go! :eek:

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

    Dude, I'll get on that guitar solo for you! I don't know about 'rippin', but I can make some fitting noise I think. I really like this tune man. I love the main guitar riff with the harmonic 'chingles' in there. The guitar tone sounds like you stole a kids practice amp, kicked it on with a...

    One Takes

    Dude! That was awesome! :D I've had a few beers, so I might be easily impressed right now, but damn there was a lot of good vibe in that!! I usually don't listen to this kinda stuff...but....You got the give n take with the guitar and vocal; you got the emotion right out there, the immediacy...

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

    LOl! Thanks dude! I don't remember what samples Patrick said he used, but, yea, this tune could benefit from real drums for sure to glue it together. I said that if this song doesn't end up being appreciated in some commercial medium that the world is deaf, dumb, and blind! :eek: Maybe, I'm...

    Faders and Knobs that make sounds go up and down

    Sounds good Garry - On a quick listen, my first impulse was that the kick and snare were not cutting through. Perhaps the bass could use a goose too. Can't wait to hear some vocals on this. :D:cool:

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

    Thanks for the listen Tobe. Regarding style, I don't really see a problem there, because I play what I like regardless of whether or not it's contemporary. If I can nudge it toward a certain sound/style, then fine. But I'm not hung up keeping up with the times. :)

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

    Thanks dude. Sometimes when I was listening, I got the feeling that somebody leaned up against the tape reels :eek:. I would love to hear your drums on this! I hope it would work, meaning I hope my guitar tracks aren't too far off. I did keep the click on during all tracking, so there's...

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

    Thanks for the listen Heat. Your are right about the commercial aspect, although it might be so decades earlier, I tried to modernize a bit with less reverb and distortion. Yep, those finger drums just don't hit ya in the head like the real ones do. Oh, yea, I love a double string bend...

    Words and Music by Craig Bennedum / Patrick Mullen. I tracked the guitars and bass and mixed this version. Please let me know what you think. http://soundcloud.com/bjsmusic/like-a-wave Now, if you have time for the whole story: Patrick posted this tune in the clinic back in November 2010...

    Rock / indie song - would love your thoughts

    Cool tune, I like the sound, the mix was ok. I'm not sure what it was but the kick had hard click on the louder hits. It might be the compressor trying to tame it :confused:. I agree that the cymbals were a little swishy. There were the only things that struck my ear funny. The tune has a...

    death ray

    I love all the textures in here man! The random studio noise (intrusion from the family I presume) is great. The only thing that stuck out to me was the acoustic at times was too normal. Is that your pick or something else giving a crackle sound in the top right speaker? Yea, I think your...

    Psycho Therapy - a quick Ramones cover

    I dunno, if some random, aging punker put this tune on a radio, I'd say: "sounds like The Ramones, but not so, ummm.... messy" So, I think that's a compliment :o:D I think you pretty much nailed it without even working very hard. :):D:cool:

    Somewhere Over the Rainbow

    Ahhh.....makes me wanna crack a beer and sit on the patio! I like the chair squeak in the intro, probably took all night just to get that part right :D. Whoa! :eek: You shoulda cranked up that fiery part of the lead, that was sweet man! Yup, lead louder, that's it. :):D:cool:

    "Falling Right In" - New Drums - How's The Mix Compare?

    Damn, I love this song! I'll take the excuse to hear it again. I'm a little late to the mix party, so this is just for fluff. You know how I always hone in on the guitars and usually have a tone 'nit', but this time my ears were freakin' delighted. I'm not sure if you changed the guitars...

    First tunes

    That's some crazy stuff! :eek: How deep can reverb reverberate? The answer is in here. Who even thinks about covering these tunes? Greg, of course. Funny, how it still sounds better than most of my current stuff. :mad: :D:cool:

    First tunes

    Ahhh...now that's much better! I can hear either the tape crying out for mercy or the compressor ratio knob twisted till it busted off! Damn, I'm lovin' your songs though! I'm diggin' this John Denver vibe, except with a little under-aged drinking and driving mixed in :drunk:;):D. Yeehaaw!

    First tunes

    I love this! I like how you have your 11 year old singing with you about getting wasted and drinking wine! I can top that though...a story about our 6 year old, school, and my mommy and wine in a sentence. My wife was proud, especially cuz she's a teacher at that school. Anyway, I...
