Hi, I've finally got around to 'releasing' another track. This is one that I was working on for months and months, then completely ran out of steam and lost interest in it, but I rediscovered it over the weekend and jumped back into it with new vigour. I re-recorded some parts, re-mixed, and...

Thanks for the positive feedback – it really is good to receive something. Firstly I do have to agree that 4+ minutes is pretty long. I had a look at it again last night to see if I could remove a verse, or what can be done. I decided that I don’t really think that it would flow as good with a...

Boyfriend 3 by Random-Tangent | Random Tangent | Free Listening on SoundCloud Just throwing this song out there - it's just an ongoing idea. I really want to try and do something different as I feel as I'm getting a little bored with the acoustic/folk/hippy music that I tend to gravitate...

Over Run by Random-Tangent | Random Tangent | Free Listening on SoundCloud It's Temporary by Random-Tangent | Random Tangent | Free Listening on SoundCloud I think that I'm getting slightly braver as to not hide behind all the reverb, and I've tried to mix the vocals to they are a bit more...

Hi, I’m finding something that I’m doing really annoying, and was just wondering if there was a mixing technique that could be used in my instance. I’m finding that when I’m singing, I’m occasionally losing the last syllable of some of the words. I suppose that this is the way that I sing...

I started a song over the weekend, and finally got around to finishing it last night. I was dangerously close to tinkering too much and killing it completely so I called it a day. Please feel free to have a listen and critique - all feedback is good feedback. CRUSH by Random-Tangent | Random...

Hi guys - it's been a while and I'm still trying :guitar: I'm really enjoying things musically at the moment. I'm constantly learning, and I'm even trying different genres of music - why? - because I want to really. I'm starting to get more into the mixing of the songs after I've recorded them...

Hi Guys. I was wondering if there was a general tip that anyone would care to share with regards to mixing a song(s) to be played played on various platforms. I've been messing around with my latest song over the weekend: The Sun Will Shine Tommorow by Random-Tangent | Random Tangent | Free...

Back again .... So recently I've picked up my guitar again - for some reason my playing/interest seems to come in waves, it's either all or nothing with me. I've had other things going on which have taken up a lot of time, but I'm back. I've done a couple of new tunes recently, both pretty...

Hi all, I'm not really sure where I should post this (mods please feel free to move this) Yesterday I quickly did a really really simple song - me + acoustic guitar (and then I quickly popped a 'solo' on it). It all sounded a bit flat and boring. As it was so so simple, and could have been...

Yeah, you can sing, anyone can sing, can they not ?? Even Shane Macgowan has made a career of sounding a lot worse than you. Would I choose to listen to him, probably not (apart from Fairy Tail of New York at Christmas obviously). Would I chose to listen to you as things stand - probably not...

Many thanks for taking the time to listen, and give a constructive comment ! The vocal treatment was something new that I was trying - I found a really interesting YouTube video about vocal mixing which seemed to work. I'm trying to get myself more of a structured workflow as I seem to be...

This weekends attempt (If I write a thousand songs one may be ok'ish) I Am Grateful by Random-Tangent | Random Tangent | Free Listening on SoundCloud I wake and I'm old, But I try to be thankful You know that I almost died? Did you know that I almost died? From a fire that's in my blood, I...

Hi all, I finally got around to 'finishing' another song over the weekend, and would appreciate someone else giving it a quick listen and giving me some critique. The amount of times that I've heard it now, I'm starting to not even hear it (if that makes sense?). I Am Grateful by...

I've always thought that Nashville tuning was the top E and B kept original, and all the others an octave up. I'm probably wrong, however I really like the idea of changing out just the G string though :thumbs up: I'm going to give that a go tonight.

What I tend to do - not that it's right or wrong, it's just my method - is on one of the takes I try and use all barre chords (when possible), and the other take I use the 'simple' chords and then pan left and right. I don't really change mic placement on either take as when I get up I move the...

I was sitting in front of my computer last night, guitar in hand and pen at the ready - and not really much was happening. So I hovered my mouse over, and opened up another recent song that I was working on. I then realised that I have about 5 songs that are all very much a work in progress...

Right, well thanks everyone, I think that I've done pretty much all I can with this now. I've made all the suggestions that people have made, and personally I think that its 100% better than the original with all your inputs. The most recent changes that I've made is with the violins - I...

Awesome! Thanks. I've got this afternoon off work so now I know what I'll be doing (besides cutting the grass and tidying the garden as we have 'guests' this weekend. And you've even put the frequencies which is perfect. Many thanks!

Thanks for the comments, it’s great to get input from others. So ……….. I’ve found a nice frequency on the vocals and given that a smidge of a boost (about 2db, I’m not sure if I need to increase it a tad more), and reduced the guitar the same at that frequency as well – when you switch between...
