    Need some feedback on everything in this one

    That's a pretty cool and interesting tune...Love the way it breaks back into the verse on that beat. I like the discordant guitars. No real thoughts on the mix. It sat well and nothing stuck out or spoiled the listen. Mark

    Is the vocal too loud? Drums too harsh?

    After reading all the stress and effort the vocal took i was expecting a mess...but its sweet..really nice work. Mark

    New Indie Rock song - Dusted

    Thanks...glad you made it to the end! Thats helpful feedback beagle, thank you. I always seem to be mid heavy on first mix..probably still trying to read my new open backs headphones. I am playing around with dropping some of the guitar in the verse for more contrast. I have tried to tweak the...

    Need some feedback on the balance of this mix

    I felt the guitar in the remix sounded a bit mid heavy and preferred the original thinner version. I dont mind the vox way upfront as you have a good and interesting voice. Mark

    Do You Hear What I Hear?

    You certainly know your way around recording acoustic...Great take

    Out of Town

    Nice lofi sweetness to it...kind of puts me in mind of Daniel Johnsons more melodic output. I like it. Ditto to beagle on the panning. Needs mixing up a bit. Your vocal is recorded really well. Mark

    Swear To God

    Nice recording...particularly like the main guitar motif running through the verses. Interesting vocal effects used. Did you sing double or harmonise the same vocal?

    Wake the Giant - Electro indie tune with accompanying "making of" video

    Nice chilled tune and balanced mix. There's a clarity to everything and bass is really well defined. Vox perhaps a touch dry if i've any criticism. Nice work Regards Mark

    Which computer specs to look for

    TalismanRich you were right about the price sticking point. £600 - 700 is probably more realistic. I had a quick look at ebay and wouldn't normally dream of buying a laptop there...however there's a seller with decent feedback putting out the spec you want (i7/i5 , 4 or 8gb ram) on a random...

    Which computer specs to look for

    Thanks for replies. I didn't make clear that I'm using a laptop and my upgrade will also be a laptop as I need some portability. I have an acer aspire with 8gb ram and an Intel quad core processor N3700 (upto 2.4 ghz) I do have busses set up to send reverb to all tracks. I've not had issues...

    Which computer specs to look for

    A simple question that has probably been asked a ton of times but theres no sticky as such. My PC is struggling to cope with running reaper as soon as I get to the top end of track numbers. I typically work about 30 tracks with a reverb buss and several other plug ins on individual tracks. Some...

    DI Bass tones

    I posted a similar Q in recording techniques forum as often struggled to get a decent bass tone. I've ended up going back a step and using my old Tf Pro pre amp (formerly Joe meek). It has phase active Eq and compression. You can probably pick a P3 or T3 up for under £100 second hand. The...

    Simple drum vst

    I attempted to install superdrum. When I opened the download dll file, it was telling me that there was no app associated with it for performing the action. The dll still shows as a file and loads into reaper but there's not much there apart from some effects. I assumed I would need to download...

    Simple drum vst

    Sounds like the kinda labour I'm trying to avoid! I read through a few comments in the cockos forum that indicated its a bit of a pig to work through. Is that your experience? The MT way of adding pattern presets and fills into a workspace and then dragging into Reaper works a treat for me (...

    Simple drum vst

    I've been using MT drummer a while and very happy with it, however just having one kit is a tad restrictive. Is there a similarly intuitive drum vst with a wider range of kits / percussion? I love the speed of working in MT so thats the key fir me...not wanting much of a learning curve! Mark

    Recording bass

    Thanks for all the input. So, the cheap DI from Behringer didn't make a great deal of difference. My bass doesn't have a great deal of tonal control....just a 3 way switch and volume dial. I don't have a bass amp and I'm not inclined (at the moment) to spend big £ on some of the recommended...

    Recording bass

    Its passive and yeah I've got it going into the xlr...sounds ok, just surprised by how much input gain required.

    Recording bass

    I now have the DI...I'd assumed i wouldn't use Phantom power turned on but only just hitting -18db with the input level turned to max...does it need PP?

    Recording bass

    Interesting...as the reading i did on flats was that whilst smoother, it is harder to get definition within a mix?
