Hi, I think you did a good job with the overall recording and the "vibe" of this one. You specifically asked for vocal feedback, so I'll give some...I think you are very close to sounding very good. The thing I notice is that you are right in pitch on the beginning words/notes of each line...

The performance and the energy is great. The drums sound a little flat to me...particularly the snare...almost like the snares aren't "on" if that's the right way to say that (I'm not a drummer...lol). Anyway, if I was mixing this I'd be tempted to try to trigger in a sample underneath the...

This sounds great to me. Reading the other comments, I'm assuming that I listened to a new mix with more spacing, because this sounds nicely spread out and things are sitting in different spaces. Very nice!

Sounds great. I love the riff, and the mix sounds right to me, although I think I'd like the vocals a little louder. Fun song! Dave DeWhitt

Hey Jason, thanks for the listen and the feedback. Yeah, no doubt the drums are now, and will probably continue to be, the most challenging part for me with my limited setup. The room isn't good at all, and I have low-end mics for overheads, and not enough decent preamps to do everything well...

Hi TAE, thanks! I'm actually the singer and guitar player, so it's my voice - thanks for the compliments. I like your voice a lot, so I really appreciate it! For the breakdown part, I guess I was trying to make it sound like it was "off-mic" and just yelling out stuff to the band. Also...

Hi All, Here is a new song from my trio that i just finished mixing, and I'd welcome any feedback on the mix, the performances, the song, etc. Thanks in advance! https://soundcloud.com/davedewhitt/we-are-one Dave DeWhitt

Thanks rayc, jonlint, and Fortenhell! It wasn't mastered yet, but I did try to get it as loud as I could without over-doing it too much. I really appreciate the nice comments, guys! Best, Dave DeWhitt

Thanks for checking out my website! Your comments are too kind though, I think I must have a particular talent for making things sound better than they are...lol. Glad to hear about the ADK mic, and I'm looking forward to hearing more stuff from you as you move forward! Best, Dave DeWhitt

This sounds good, you've got the genre nailed well I think, and it sounds very commercial to me. The mix is pretty good overall, but I think it's a little too scooped in the mid-range. I wonder how it would sound if you did some subtle EQing on the stereo output to bump up the midrange in the...

Thanks for the listen guys, and the second round of feedback! I think I'm going to move on with my life (finally!) and call this one finished :thumbs up: Best, Dave DeWhitt

Wow, this is really great. I love your voice, and more importantly, your vocal style. Outstanding! The recording is good, but it does sound like there's room for improvement in the quality of the vocal chain. I was going to ask what mic you are using, because it sounds like a dynamic, and...

This is a nice, warm mix. I like it. It's funny, when I first listened on my studio monitors, the guitar solo and the rhythm guitar seemed to be competing for the same spot in the stereo field, but I put on my headphones for the second listen, and the panning is clearly separating them when I...

Nice work, it sounds great. I love the guitar tone, I'm assuming that's the Engl? The mix is really clear and everything is balanced...great job!

Hi All, I received great feedback from you guys on the initial mixes of my trio's song "Heavy" a few weeks ago. Since then, I had my bass player finally come over and record the real BGVs (previously they were placeholders that I sang), and I also updated the mix a little bit to bring up the...

I loved this, man. Sounds awesome! Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Sweet! That's awesome info, thanks! I will definitely start keeping my eye out for those.

I like it. It's a great mix to my ears. I really liked the little acoustic guitar lead lines in the outro. On first listen I felt like I wanted to hear that guitar cut through or punch a little more. Maybe just a little compression or something. On listening back though, I think it's good as...

Yeah, the OCD has that stack sound in a pedal. I was initially worried about using it with the crunch channel on my DSL, just thinking it would be too much. But keeping the drive low it seems to work great, it just gives it a nice kick in the head. The speaker update idea is very intriguing...

It's actually nothing great, it's just a JCM2000 DSL100 with a 1960a cab...but the head is one of the older DSL100s, which apparently sounds better than the newer ones. I think this one was made in 2007-ish maybe? I only use the green crunch channel with the volume up pretty high and the gain...
