The song id like mixdown feedback on is the second one. clickey click! The style is kind of like jad fair/k records kinda stuff. If that doesnt ring a bell, this is what happens when punk rockers start writing wussy pop songs.

Not Blink, no.....the slightly distorted intro (in my op) begged for drums to come in afterward instead of just the acoustic rhythm beat....having both would be nice I think....would love to hear a bass too...everything seemed pretty centered, some harder panning/separation would be cool between the rhythm and lead.....anyway those are just my opinions...artistically, write 'em and play 'em the way you want to...I'm just a pair of ears in cyberspace...gibs
 
For the first or second song? The one i was asking about has bass. It's a lot better, IMO, also. It's a pretty short tune, so dont let the 160 kbps intimidate you. I think i agree on drums, though. I cant stand my drum machine anymore, so I'll have to rustle up a drummer (or at least a kit). Thanks for listening, by the way.

The 2nd song wouldn't download for me, tried since yesterday...about six times in all, but I'll keep tryin'....gibs
 
ill post at 128 kbps.
see if that works.
should be up within an hour.
------------------------------------
ok, it's up.
That's the only thing i can see wrong, as I watched a friend download the 160 at his house. The file seems to have converted well. Thanks for your patience, I really like the vibe at this forum.

Thanks, it worked...you have a distinct sound goin'...I liked this one a lot even tho it had no drums hint hint......good playing, and fit the style....I wish the vocal, which I liked, had a bit more control on the phrasing, which would make those good lyrics more potent...this song sounded like you spent more time on it, or were more comfortable with it or something.....and that translated into the presentation, which, I guess is everybody's goal in writing a song....with drums and a little phrasing/enunciation work, I could hear this song on a radio somewhere...nice....gibs
 
Haha, i know. I'm too first take oriented. The 2nd song isnt as bad tempo-wise as the 1st, but it still fluctuates in places. I record with drum machines sometimes, but i hate programming them. And Gibs, thanks. I might have a drummer lined up, let's hope he can put up with my horrible sense of time. ;)
 
I listened to the second tune and I don't really know what to add to what gibs has already said. The song itself isn't bad, it's catchy enough. I would seriously consider playing to a click. I don't want to beat this to death, because it sounds like you are aware of the problem. At the very least, practice to a click so that when you go to record a take you've practiced the timing. Again, I'm not trying to be a jerk, I'm just trying to help you out! I'll have to download your other tune later.
 
I dont take offense to constructive criticism (even in caps with exclamation points), but i would like to make sure one thing is clear. If you mean the wavering in tempo during the intro, i agree totally. If you mean the dramatic tempo change into the body of the song, that's intentional. It's not supposed to be double time or anything, just faster. If you feel that it's a totally ineffective dynamic shift, please let me know.
 
No, not at all. I meant the wavering. I don't mind the tempo change.
