    Snare Drum Hurts Ears (sample included)

    I like it, definitely a nice composition. I have to agree though with the former poster, I don't hear what the problem with the snare is. What in my opinion would be an improvement is drums that have (more) life in them. This is a high energy song, and the drums should act as a foundation for...

    Feedback on lyrics of released EP

    Not so much specific feedback, although this definitely sounds nice! If you ever want to get more into songwriting I'd advice to look into Pat Pattison. There's a songwriting course on courser by him, which, even though I'm more of an intuitive writer, I found very insightful. Especially the...

    Help wanted: Superior drummer 2 hihat pedal response

    Thanks, but that doesn't really cut it. It's distracting while playing and I wanna have it right while playing. Posted it in the Toontrack Forum.

    Help wanted: Superior drummer 2 hihat pedal response

    I'm using SD2 in combination with a Roland TD6V. At current I can play 3 articulations on the hihat, the issue is that lifting my foot up just a millimeter already trigger the "somewhat open" sound on the hihat. I want that to happen after a couple of centimeters, so my question is: how can I...

    Thoughts On Developing This Song?

    I'd focus on the song as a whole first if I were you, so the perhaps too prominent guitar isn't of importance at this stage, you shouldn't worry about that until mixing a final version. At current I'd say that the first mission would be to introduce a chorus, and build some tension in the song...

    Home Again

    Nice. +1 on the cymbals, they seem to pop out too much in relation to the overall feel and loudness of the drums to feel balanced. Also I think rolling the vocals back just a little bit more would be nice as they seem a little too upfront. Finally, maybe some ambient reverb, as the tracks feel...

    Climb The Wall - alternative/pop/rock mix

    Sounds very nice! Some observations (listenend to it on earbuds): For some reason the 1st 2 lines of vocal sound different (less clear) then the rest. Then, especially in the chorus I feel like the kick drum is not very present which makes these parts feel unbalanced (I miss emphasis on the...

    Question about using effects while recording

    If you don't have any issues with hiss etc. I wouldn't worry too much about the recording level, as it doesn't matter much (in the digital world). If you record at about 75% you can't really go wrong. If you record on tape it's a bit different, as here you DO have a certain amount of hiss and...

    Shuffle Timing?

    I assume (no logic user) you can select the time signature, and then there will probably be a straight 4/4 and a shuffle version. Off course you could also go for 12/8.

    Sure SM7B (lead voc) and Rode NTK (backings) into a Focusrite ISA one > Scarlett 18i8.
