I like the feel of Slipping Away. It has a cool groove. the vocals seem a bit lost in the mix. Maybe just turn em up a bit? I like the melody in the chorus, but again, the guitar drowns out the voice. good tune! g

I like it. But I agree with the comments above. More kick, more bass. Sounds thin. Keep going! G

I agree. I keep expecting drums to kick in. But she has a nice voice. The guitar and keys are so repetitive that it takes away from this, though. Definitely has talent to build around. Good job! G

I can't open the file. I keep getting an error message on WMPlayer.

I agree. Nice mixes, but the songs are lacking emotion. That being said, you have a unique sound, and I like the lyrics in parts. Keep writing! G

Great vocals. 1st song, the git is weak. Maybe some compression there and some reverb to the overall song to fix the 2 separate rooms thing. 2nd song, maybe more instruments. The git is so simple. Maybe some simple percussion?

I took my daughter for a hearing test the other day -- as soon as we entered this tiny room, our voices just seemed to drop to the floor. The space was SO dead. Very cool. I wonder if they rent the space out? HA! :D G

Just wanted to respond to this -- I completely agree. I kind of like the noise of a random truck passing by or the water heater clicking on. Birds, kids, thunder, phone ringing -- they can all be annoying, but can also be very interesting in the mix. Just my 2 cents. G

Thanks, guys -- I really appreciate the comments. powerkor -- I love the 60's sound, and while I don't know enough about mixing to duplicate it, I guess I fiddle w/the knobs until it sounds as decent as possible. I agree the drums are the weakest link. They're fun to play, but man, they're...

Hey, all -- Here's a new tune I'd appreciate you checking out. It's my first time recording my own drumming -- comments on this (playing/recording of...) and anything else (vocals, overall mix, lyrics, etc.) would be great. Thanks. G...

Listening to These are the Days... I like it! Good melody and chord progressions. I like the harmonies, but the vocals don't seem to sit well in the mix. A little reverb? Overall, the song has good variety to keep our attention. Cool tune. When you Fall... 1:00 of music is a lot for me...

Hey, I listened to a few of your songs and read some lyrics. You have a unique way of structuring your songs. I like how you avoid the verse/chorus/bridge pattern. Some lyrics I like: "to divide these colors wispered into swirls, of oil in our dreams" "I'll find the tools to wind these...

The same thing happened to me. I contacted Flavio and he took care of everything. Good luck. G

Thanks, Songwriter....I appreciate the suggestions on the vocals and bass. I've heard of that distortion suggestion before, but have yet to try it. I wonder if it will help the bass to sound less like farting (something I can't seem to cure!)... :eek: Thanks again. G

Well, THAT sounds familiar. I, too, once questioned the whole EQ, compression, etc. thing. "Who needs it?" I asked. But sound is a funny thing. When you record, your signal is so colored by your equipment / setting that your basic track doesn't sound 'correct'...so it takes EQ, etc. to make...

I highly recommend nTrack software. At $50 or so, it's a great bargain. www.fasoft.com This is all you need to record (and a mic), though a better soundcard (and better mic, and better...) will make a big difference. Have fun. G

Richard, I get the feeling you're repeating yourself...hehe... :D I'm curious about the wav manager from fostex. Why do you need this? Does the MR8 save files in a format other than wav? G

Thanks for the feedback, nopoetic. I'm a bit confused by your insights, but I appreciate them. G
