launchpad67a Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 I own a recording studio and just produced these two new tracks. Looking for feedback on these two new recordings.

I recorded some music over the last few weeks and was looking for some feedback on the quality. This is Not my song writting but my engineering, thats all. Blow chunks all you want, just asking if it sounds ok on your little crappy 2 speaker computer speakers? That's all, just quality check here. Oh yeah, does that sound like a 'demo' ? Don't think so.

CygnusX-1Bk2 Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 (edited) Can't Be Wrong: But the drums are! Or shall I say drum amchine? Totally wrecks the composition. It is a good song. I love the guy's voice. I'd like to hear it without the drum machine. It is stepping all over the arrangement by lack of subtlety and dynamics. There is so much potential here. I would like to hear some nice hand percussion, a tambourine, a shaker, congas. The occasional cymbal. I think they would suit the arrangement much better. Sparse and selective though, to enhance the melodies and support the arrangement rhythmically. Most of the tones are fairly round. Everything sounds good except the drum machine. This song could do very nicely. It's A Secret: Well it's recorded well. I am hearing occasional jumps, don't know if that is the mp3 or punches. Victim of over equalization. The cymbals and vocal are a bit too bright. Not my taste for material though. But that's me. Edited March 16, 2005 by CygnusX-1Bk2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what you're really talking about but that post right there is why you're the mod in this forum and why we pay you the big bucks.

launchpad67a Posted March 16, 2005 Author Share Posted March 16, 2005 Thanks Cyg and s, Yeah, the drum machine is a bummer but the client didn't want real drums at the time, now might be a different story. The artist is so talented, great writer, player and vocalist! I recorded 11 songs for this artist, so there's more to hear if interested. It's a secret is not really my bag either, just a paying client. I need to re-master it, might have gotten a little carried away with L2 Ultramaximizer and eq. Thanks for the listen.

Uncle Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Your talent is obviously apparant launchpad but I can't help feel you answered that post by Daveyt in quite a rude way. Anywho both well recorded and engineered and yeah the drum machine is a bit annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Oh yeah and bravo you managed to instill these recordings with some life Most recordings these days seem lifeless and have no energy. (please post more by the it's a secret people cause it's an awesome song) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
launchpad67a Posted March 16, 2005 Author Share Posted March 16, 2005 Thanks Uncle. And sorry Dave, didn't mean to come off sounding harsh. Uncle, here are 2 more songs by that same group. Mesmerized Shining Seas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My_Shrimp_Cot Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 (edited) "Cant be Wrong": I thought the voice sounded a little thin for this style of music. also I could hear and almost "wavy" effect similar to "chorus" but without the pitch shift. I cant spell Edited March 16, 2005 by My_Shrimp_Cot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My_Shrimp_Cot Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Mesmerized: Awesome job...! My only problem would be with the boring rythm guitar part.....that has nothing to do with you though. (that guitar could have used more punch when nobody is singing though). Thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
