    Thanks! Yes, the bass could do with more, more variation, more (of something), but I tried my best (as we all do), and I'm no bass player. Kind of pleased that you referenced Macca there! (big fan - me of him lol). The vocals - well, that's my crappy voice, and the reason why I don't do too many...

    Thanks for showing an interest, means a lot (seriously) ! Ok, so the comments made in this thread helped me A LOT. And my partner listened on our big lounge speakers and said "wow, the vocal is way loud!". Because you become immune to it, even with several weeks of doing something else (eg...

    Love this! Thanks so much for listening Mick! You really helped...got me to go back and NOT have thought of what you said! (ie that they don't sound in the same "sound stage"). Truly great advice. So, I've tweaked it. Not easy to get right, is it!? Also, I've tried to change the fade...also not...

    All help mixing this one super gratefully received!!!!! Kind of some of the things I thought about 2020 when I wrote this one. All played by me, electric guitar parts (unwisely) on acoustic lol, and tried out my uBass thing. Really grateful for your viewpoints! (as I've struggled). Mixcraft...

    "Like A Butterfly" acoustic folky original

    Here's a new song of mine, I joined a local songwriting group so I think I'm writing more "folky stuff - not sure if that's good or bad! Anyway, I've wrestled with Mixcraft for years, and always ended up hiding my weak/harsh sounding acoustic tracks behind other tracks. For this I tried a bit...

    New song, acoustic and uBass

    Hi folks, appreciate all your advice! You guys here know what you're talking about, I'm trying to write more songs now my sons are growing up (why get old!?) and I really just use Mixcraft (which works ok for me), so thanks for taking the time to listen. I wrote this a couple of weeks ago and...

    Thoughts on this? and how to regain inspiration...

    hi Folks! You've been kind to me here before, and I guess I haven't been around since a big spurt of composing and recording up until last year. I've always used drum loops and also for bass guitar. And for me, when I run out of inspiring ones of these (like I did in Mixcraft, as there were...

    Don't be shy, it says! *gulp*

    Well, I joined this forum 3 1/2 years ago it says! And been holding down a boring mgmt job in IT (think Chandler in Friends), and home recording, but then I went quiet...intimidated. Then I saw this section that says "Get feedback - don't be shy!" Well, I want to improve. My crappy vocals and...
