    And Now For Something Completely Different...

    Hey Jason, thanks for listening. I am hoping that the reason you are tired is because you are so busy with paying studio customers that you can barely keep up with demand :guitar: Keith, thanks for the listen and comments. I hope you are doing well! I wasn't really thinking about putting...

    New Building Pyramids mix (funk, indie, very original sound)

    Key ksawaia - I like it, the band has a pretty cool sound. Mix-wise, I felt like there were too many items panned out wide left and right that were competing for attention, so it was getting jammed up pretty badly out there on the ends. There are at least two different guitar parts that were...

    And Now For Something Completely Different...

    Hey Instink, thanks very much for the comments, I'm glad you like it. That piece came about because a friend of mine asked me to write something for a promo video she's putting together. She told me she wanted something 'old-timey and lively' and she sent me a link to the theme song for the...

    First attempt to get a recording together - a couple of questions

    I think it's pretty good...she has an interesting quality to her voice, it almost sounds a little like Sinead O'Connor (however you spell that :)) or something along those lines, which is cool, because she doesn't sound like every other female singer out there. I'm curious...why did you...

    And Now For Something Completely Different...

    Hey macle, thanks very much for listening and for the comments. The last song, Signs of Life, was written and recorded last year, and is part of my CD, so yeah, that one has a completely different style, which is more in line with the rest of the tunes on that album. The other two on the...

    And Now For Something Completely Different...

    Hi All, It's been awhile since I posted in the clinic. I haven't written much since I finished up my CD last year (a self-imposed break!), but recently I've started playing around with some instrumentals in various styles. I've posted a couple up on Soundclick, and I'd welcome any feedback...

    Virgin voyage into Electronica...

    Great job, Jason. You continue to impress me again and again with how wide your range is musically and technically. I hear a little of the 80's hints of flavor here and there too, but I don't think it's the production necessarily, but maybe more the way some of the melodies evoke memories of...

    What's the cleanest way to get your music on various distribution sites?

    I'm not trying to plug CDBaby too much here, but I just put my first album out through their online distribution service, and I was very impressed with the whole process. The latest cool thing they do is allow you to "opt in" some or all of your tracks to non-exclusive sync licensing, which...

    the end of the road

    Very cool, man...I listened to the new mix - 1.26.12. The mix sounds great to me...everything is clear and well-balanced. I love the textures and how you bring in lots of different elements throughout to keep it interesting. There's something about the section from 1:22 - 1:31 that left me...

    Please check out this song

    I love it. No surprise, because I love all your songs. PDP has a great idea above though...I'd also love to hear something totally different from you...not because I don't like what you are already doing, but just because....well, just because :) Production and mix all sounds killer to my ears...

    One-Man-Band (songwriting session) video-song

    Ah, ok...my bad. The way I read your post I thought you were looking for both audio and video comments :) I think your approach is certainly valid and you may be absolutely right about the busyness of too many cuts in the frames. I have some lighting being delivered to my door sometime this...

    Drums Come True - Online drum tracking service

    I think the site looks very nice, and it's well-laid-out and clear. I definitely agree with VHS that the stretched cymbal banner could be improved. I think a banner there is a great idea, just maybe try to incorporate the cymbal with some other visuals in a layered format? Good luck with the...

    One-Man-Band (songwriting session) video-song

    Hi Chris, I think this is pretty cool, and you are a great musician with good timing and a laid-back feel, so it's very easy to listen to and enjoy. I am just starting to think about putting together a video like this for a song or two from my album, so I'm very interested in the whole process...

    Thanks and Happy Holidays!

    Hey Keith, thanks! Yes, I had entered Riptide in one of the early song contests awhile ago, so you might have heard it there. Actually, I'm pretty sure I probably posted it in the clinic too, since I posted almost all of my songs in here at one time or another :) Very Best, Dave

    Thanks and Happy Holidays!

    Hi All, I have finally completed my first album, Signs of Life, and it is now available for shipping and/or download from CDBaby.com. I want to to say a HUGE thanks to everyone on this forum who provided me with so much awesome mixing feedback and advice over the course of the last couple of...

    My Website is Live!

    Hi All, I have an album pending release, so I figured I should create a website to have some kind of starting point for people that are interested in my music (if there are any...ha ha). I used weebly, which is definitely limited, but other than the domain registration fee (which seemed high...

    If It Wasn't For Everything...

    I think it's outstanding. I always look forward to hearing new songs from you and this one certainly didn't disappoint! The mix sounds really great to my ears - everything is clear and in it's own space, everything is nicely balanced....excellent overall. Your songwriting, and especially your...

    Tips for Strings?

    I just went back and took a look at the soundclick site and realized that I have all my songs there set for streaming only, and since I saved that .mp3 as 320kbps, I'm wondering if that's the problem. I changed it to allow mp3 downloads, so hopefully that will help. Best, Dave

    Tips for Strings?

    It's weird that it's only playing for 20 seconds...I'm not sure why that is...? The strings come in only in the choruses, so it's a bit later in the song. I totally agree about the real piano, but unfortunately I don't have one at my disposal for recording. To me, the sound of this piano is...

    Tips for Strings?

    I never did it :D I spent some time this morning playing around with the string arrangement. I ended up using a BUNCH of tracks for this, but that's probably just because I never know when to stop with this stuff. Here's a rough mix of the song...the intent is that it's going to be a simple...
