Cool, thanks guys...great feedback already. So, I just uploaded a new version with a couple of minor changes - pulled the low cut freq on the bass EQ down a little lower and boosted 200 Hz just a tad. I also added the snare hit at the beginning to start the whole thing off. Jeff, nice to hear...

Hi All, This is a new song called "Riptide" that I just finished last night. It's pretty simple, but I wanted to get feedback on the rough mix before I go too much further with it. I would welcome any feedback - song, performance, mix, you name it. SoundClick artist: Dave DeWhitt - page with...

Hey Macle, I am hanging my head in shame. I went back for another listen on headphones last night while I was on a different computer, and the mix sounded totally different to me. I was baffled, so I came back down here this morning to my recording computer with my good monitors and went back...

Hey man, thanks for checking it out, I'm glad you liked it. That one is still my favorite song I've ever written...I wish I could write a few more like that! I don't have stuff for sale at this point, I've only gotten back into writing and recording again recently after taking about 15 years...

Hey Joey, I missed this earlier somehow, so I only listened to the mix called master 2. Holy cow...it's seriously awesome. Loved it...great song, great vox, great guitar work. I always try to offer some type of constructive criticism if I'm going to comment, but I'm having trouble finding...

Hi macle, I love the songwriting and the singing on this track. I also think the arrangement and production is top notch. For nits...unfortunately, I'm not super enthused about the mix. It might be a personal taste thing, but everything sounds like it's stacked up in the center, and I'd...

Thanks, Chili, I appreciate it. I just updated the mix with a very subtle change to the drum levels, I rode the fader through the song to bump them up about 0.5 - 0.8 dB in spots where they were getting lost a little. The new mix is up on soundclick for anyone who wants to check it out, but...

Hi, This is one of my all time favorite songs, and I think it's a great one to cover in this style. You are right though, the mix is a mess. The first thing that jumps out at me is the kick drum (or rather, it didn't jump out at me at all, which is the problem) - it's boomy, and undefined...

Hi guitar zero, thank you, man! I appreciate the nice comments. I did write it, and I am playing and singing everything except the drums, which were recorded in my basement, but played by a friend of mine named Paul Lanahan. Best, Dave DeWhitt SoundClick artist: Dave DeWhitt - page with...

Thank you very much, Greg. It's good to know that I'm moving in the right direction with my mixes :) All the help and advice and feedback from this forum has been awesome. Best, Dave SoundClick artist: Dave DeWhitt - page with MP3 music downloads

Hey Ninja_Drummer, thanks for the listen and the feedback! Best, Dave DeWhitt SoundClick artist: Dave DeWhitt - page with MP3 music downloads

Hi Rob, The new mix sounds better to me, they are subtle improvements, but they all add up and it just works better I think. I'm glad Keith and a few others chimed in above with those comments and suggestions, I think putting them into practice really helped. I'm also glad that the changes...

I loved it - a great listen. I agree that the vibrating low bass thing is distracting, and I'd probably remove it. Other than that, it sounds totally pro to me...nice work! Best, Dave DeWhitt SoundClick artist: Dave DeWhitt - page with MP3 music downloads

I think it sounds great. Excellent for a first post. What mic are you using, and what is the reverb, plugin or hardware? It sounds great to my ears. Best Regards, Dave DeWhitt SoundClick artist: Dave DeWhitt - page with MP3 music downloads

This is excellent, guys. Just true enough to the original, but with enough changes to make it modern and interesting. Any more in the works? Also, I'd sure love to have a Whotards t-shirt :) Best, Dave

Hey Brad, Dude, you just made my day...lol. I appreciate the compliments sincerely :D Dave

Hi, I gave a listen, and two things stuck out to me...the drums need to be a lot more powerful, and the vocals have a little too much noticeable delay on them. For the drums, I'm not sure if they are real or not, they sound real to me, but I've been fooled before :) Either way though, I'd get...

I hear you. The spaces aren't really bothering me, but if you aren't hearing it the way you are picturing it in your head, I can totally see how that would bug you. Right off the bat, the suggestion I would have would be a percussive piano part, similar to Chicago's 'Saturday In The...

Hey, Welcome to the forum. I took a listen and I think you have a decent song, and the performance is good, but the recording does need work :) Looking at your post, it seems like you are making the best of what you have from an equipment standpoint, so the advice I would offer is this: no...

+1 to that^. I'd like to hear the bass occupy more of the mid/high spectrum cause it's really down in the low frequencies now, and it seems like it should be more than just bottom end in this style, but rather almost a featured, melodic instrument. IMHO that might fill up some of the sonic...
