Interested in an "easy on the ears tune"? Please tell me what ya think! Really.

How about a little honest feedback as far as the mix and/or the songwriting. Do the guitars sound to..."direct"? Are the drums at a good level?

It is an instrumental...I'll get ya one with a vocal soon.

Thanks in advance...:D

The tune...BACK TO BASICS

cool stuff man.......don't really like the bass sound too much though.....as for the guitars, they're so far back in the mix it's hard to tell much.......they really need to come up. The sound does seem a bit thin....I call it the 'mosquito fuzz' sound'.

I like the music but I think it really needs a remix.....I'd like to hear everything have more presence and be more in my face.....it's too easy on the ears....needs to be more assertive.
Like that music though. :)
 
I agree. "Thin" is a good way to look at it. How or what would I do to add "presence" to bring them more "in your face"? Thanks for the advise....

oh, btw, the tracks are gone. :( It was on my Korg D8 and at the time I had no means of backup so I would just burn some mixes on CDs and clean the slate and start a new batch of tunes. No biggy. I may do a remake, it is all in learning my craft of songwriting.
 
I have to agree with Lt Bob

The intro is cool, but think about adding some cymbal in for some high end sizzle to go along with the effects on the bass and guitar.

Once into the piece, the guitars and organ are both burried in the mix. Bring them out more, right now you have the rythem leading the piece.
 
Well,since the mix doesnt exist anymore I wont spit out useless stuff about how to make it better.lmao!(I have no idea how to make it better anyway. :eek: )

The song is really catchy and Im on the second spin right now.I like the melody of the guitar and the bounce of the rhythm...for some reason it makes me think of the beatles.I totally dig this tune.I'll have to d-load some more of your tunes.

p.s. It's good to see you out of the cave and posting above ground.:D;)

Hey thanks! The air does seem better!
 
2 stars

I read this at your site:

"His experience comes from playing many years in bars and clubs."

Look, the bar owners wanna sell drinks and the people wanna dance and hopefully get laid.

This shit would send 'em out the door and down to the bar with a band in 4/4 time and a singer, even if he sucks.

You play from your dick, not your brain.
This is intellectual sounding graphs and scales in a blender and I'm sure it's very amazing on paper and in theory.

As a song this is all over the place. It starts at A and ends at Z and I remember nothing about the song except it made watching the fishtank a little more soothing.

I'm a song guy and this is music. Some people put a lifetime into making music and never write a song in their life. They throw together a bunch of shit and call it song and nobody can relate to it or sing it and ultimately it fails as a song.


I give this song 2 stars since its an assemblage of music more than a song so I can't really give it more than 2 stars.


If I had two bucks left in my pocket and was hungry would I buy a sandwich or buy this song????

Is that an SR 16 on the drums?
You guys are good. Yes it is...besides my Korg Synth drums, it is all I have. I am however new to the PC/MIDI end of recording so I use my drum machine a lot.

I do not intend to make a living at it, it is a hobby. Just my very own passion. But yes, I learned a lot "musically" from playing clubs. To each his own pal.
 
Im glad to see your not offended by my opinion RIch.

Believe me, you need skin like an alligator to make it in the music biz.

Please don't take my opinion as anything but my opinion and only for whats it's worth and let criticism work FOR YOU.

crticism has never stopped me from writing music and not everything i write has been accepted as good and having honest opinions (negatiove ones too) has helped me, not hurt me.
 
Hey, I'm just here for technical advise in the home recording area. It is good to see some are as well. I CAN play my instruments.

But making a livin' is OUT! Besides, the ears are SHOT!

My skin is thick, maybe it was those bar gigs.
 
BTW, my tune "Fry Daddy" has gotten some airplay...but, I confess...I have a friend who is a DJ!

I know a demo would never get on the air, but people liked it. Possibly the writing??? :p
 
can i leave this blank?

well rich, this is better than anything ive ever done, and as long as your having a good time I say fuck airplay.

Yeah, thanks. It just good clean fun!
 
fine....fuck airplay.
Pump Gas the rest of your life.

Look, I wanna clear something up here.

For starters, when you ask for opinions some will be what your wanting to hear, and some will be truthful expressions from the listener. What you do with them is everything.

Kramer, jumped in and started calling me names. Clearly a guy/kid who is trying to be in some sort of exclusive you kiss my ass Ill kiss your ass kinda club. It really does ruin the effectiveness of putting music up for complete strangers to listen to.

And trust me, it's a dog eat dog world out there. If there was an opening for ONE song to make you a load of cash and world exposure, you'd see that dog eating come out in all of us. Believe me, Kramer would screw any one of his homerecording.com freinds out of a record deal if he could get his music signed instead...it's called survival, and if it came down to it, Kramer would fuck ya as soon as ya bent over if it meant making him a millionaiire with 3 minutes of music.
Don't buy into this exclusive social group cuz it dont exist. At the end of the day A record deal would make us competitors, not freinds. You'd definately screw your "freinds" if it meant that world tour, record contract and mega rich lifstyle. Those who say different are liars. Period.

When youre friends band fights for his band instead of your's to get that awesome friday night gig with the big payout, he's your competition man, not your freind. And a guy like Kramer would screw any one of ya for it if he was serious about his music career.
Its the nature of the game. Those who dont play it like that die broke, poor and unknown with mp3s on a BBS while somebopdy else with less talent gets rich and famous laughing all the way to the bank...

There is no room for ass kissing elite social groups within this forum cuz all that does is kill its purpose.

Part of getting an honest opinion is being told when your breath stinks. Most people are grown up enough and mentallly prepared to accept criticism and use it POSITVELY.

Then you have guys like Kramer who throw a tantrum . Grow up.

anyways, I'm sure you've written hundreds of songs and this is only one side of many of you. I opinioned the song, NOT YOU...I'm sure have other songs that I would find quite good.

But who cares what I think?

take everything with a grain of salt.
Its a dog eat dog world out there and if a few opinions online about one song gets that kind of heated reaction from our more "unbalanced" members, I'd hate to see how they manage they're offline real world lives.

anyways, keep making music,

All I know is that I always ask for honesty. I have noticed here that I get it, both concerning recording techniques (which I lack) and songwriting talents (which I think I have). I can't speak for others, but I am assuming they are being honest like you, I think, are Ghetto.

I have had stuff reviewed elsewhere, some like it and some don't. At least this place can speak to technical issues...the area I can appreciate.

I'll be making music for ME, but not for much longer...my ears are really bad.

Later...
