Hey, thanks Brad...just saw this. Yeah, I think I know what you mean about the drums. I'm in "album" mode now though, where I'm trying to get twelve of my songs together and sounding relatively similar from a production standpoint, and this is kind of the drum sound I've been using for most of...

New mix is up on the soundclick link with lower OHs and the snare slightly lower. And...when I was looking at the snare levels, I realized I had never set up any reverb on the snare, so I added a little verb to try to move it back in the mix a little. Hopefully this mix is a little better...

Hey All, I have a gently used Rode NT1000 microphone that I'm going to be selling - I was about to put it up on eBay, but then figured maybe I'd throw it up here and give the good people at HR.com first dibs :D Pic is below... It comes with the soft case and mic clip. I'm thinking $230 USD...

No, of course not...not at all. It's an interesting topic to me, and I think there's no right or wrong answer. Music is art and it's open to interpretation for sure. I'm thinking through this and realizing that since I'm not a drummer it might sound cavalier for me to just say it doesn't...

Damn, that is perfectly said. Especially the part about collab and building a house, etc. You are a wise man, Greg. To add to that, I am in the position of going back through all my tracks and adding real drums to them, but luckily for me, I fully ascribe to the above philosophy, so I have...

Hey Jason, thanks man, I appreciate your feedback, which is thoughtful and helpful as always. I will get another mix going tonight with your suggestions in mind. Aaron, thanks for listening and the comments. I recorded those vocals a year or more ago with my old vocal chain which wasn't...

Cool, thanks for listening and thanks for the feedback! Best, Dave

Hi All, Been absent from the forum for a bit, but still working on recordings. I just recently went back and rerecorded the drum tracks for a song called "Falling Right In" that I posted here about a year ago. The original posted version had software drums. This new version was recorded with...

It's wet and crappy here on the east coast too...40 degrees and raining...gotta love it. Nice work on this, it sounds very good to me. Best, Dave

Yep, I am a guitar player too, and it is a constant battle for us guitar players to mix without overpowering everything else with the guitars. Your guitars sound great in this, so that's good, but you want to whole mix to sound great, so get those levels balanced and I promise you it will sound...

Hi, I think it sounds pretty good. You're close, to me it just needs a little work on adjusting the relative volume levels of the drums, bass, and guitars. The guitars sound great, but they are too loud in the mix. I'd bring the drums and bass up, get them slamming to drive the mix, and I...

Yeah man, I like it just like it is too. Nice work, Brad and Joe...I am proud to have been a part of this! Best, Dave SoundClick artist: Dave DeWhitt - page with MP3 music downloads

So, getting back to the mix - I think this mix is great. I'm pretty much a hack at the drums, but I do like it a lot better with the real drums, and the whole mix is more powerful now. Really great job on this, Brad! 99 out of 100 angry jewish lawyers agree, and none of them are in my pants...

Ha ha - and they'd probably win too, but unfortunately I have a feeling they'd be awfully disappointed with the financial rewards of such a lawsuit. The Whotards might actually end up further in debt than when they started said proceedings...lol. Best, Dave

HR.com already has a killer collab band called the Whotards...I'm thinking we need a good collab name for this group, even if it turns out to be a one time deal. I humbly suggest "The Silver Mullets"...lol. Given the hair theme that's floating around, it seems apropos :D Best, Dave

Hey Brad, I just sent you a PM with the links to the drum files. I hope you like them...let me know if you need anything changed. I love the song even more now after playing along with it today...great stuff! Best, Dave SoundClick artist: Dave DeWhitt - page with MP3 music downloads

Hey Joey, I sent you and Brad a PM about the drums...I'm going to take a crack at them :) I'll send something over to you in a couple of days and if you like it, use it...if not, no worries. Best, Dave

I love the song. You guys make a great collab team. The guitars are killer, I love the acoustic tone and the stutter effect going into the chorus is sweet and modern sounding. Joey, your vocals are awesome. Brad, your mixes are getting better all the time, this one is really good. Nice...

Thanks, guys. I appreciate the nice comments. Stay tuned on this one because I think I just got lucky and figured out what's wrong with my setup and why this mix has been such a pain in the ass. Hopefully I'll have something new mixed in the next couple of days that will be better. Best...

Yeah, I should have slept on that mix before I posted it. I spent hours working on it the other night, and I guess maybe I got fatigued or just ended up fooling myself. I listened to it again tonight for the first time since then and I'm really disappointed. Oh well, live and learn I guess...
