⫸STICKY⫷ Post your Recordings - Lets hear em, Kid.mp3

^i like what you're playing, the emotion, lyrics and everything. I'd love to mix that track and add some harmonies/instruments in there and percussion. You have to record your voice separately and double track it so it stands out in the mix, your voice isn't coming through but other than that it's genuine, raw, real, music man nice work. I can hear the emotion all over the place, just structure it and mix it and let your voice sit on top of the guitar and it'll sound even better.

I'm always looking for feedback too so i try to be real with people, we all want to improve and get better and we should share our knowledge to do so. I did listen to the whole thing and have listened to a bunch of your stuff :)
 
Hey fifleman, had a listen (all the way through)and thought it was good, Robo is right, plenty of emotion just needs to be recorded and mixed to capture your voice, I listened to your other tunes and some of them sounded like the Guitar was recorded better, the untitled but happy one had a great guitar sound. I know people haven't always got the equipment to get great results but youd be suprised what you can do with basic gear. (I recorded this in my loft using a cheap mic and some expensive but borrowed plugins). You say you play alone, you are good enough to play with other people you shoudn't be nervous, find someone of similar ability and jam out, I grew up in London in the Punk era where ability to play come third behind attitude and energy, I'm not saying thats always a good thing but it gave us confidence and belive me compared to some bands I've seen on stage you are well worthy enough.
@robo (i am just learning how to mix properly - seems like a never ending journey) doing a grand job mate, you have the ear for sure. Yeah the theme thing is cool, I sometimes get carried away, once I was out walking my dog having a very good lsd trip and started thinking my dog was sniffing for original ideas, and because he was on the leash he coudn't find any, when I got home I made this. Like most of my stuff it goes on a bit if your not in the mood, been listening to your tracks and I don't think you sound generic at all, you dont over cook it,a lot of your tracks would go well with film thanks for the feedback, like you said hard to get these days, I've had these old what I call techno tracks lying around for years and that bit of feedback from you made me get them online, try this or this, and more to come
 
^ Really good stuff, well recorded for a live gig , was it through the mixer?, had a listen to your other 2 tracks as well, liked them alot, especially she will be mine again,, and of course excellent strings throughout

Yeah we payed £75 to get it recorded professionally. Unfortunately the violin isn't quite loud enough (IMO - I would think that though 8)), and sounds kinda distant with all that reverb; I think it was recorded through the monitor.

Thanks for the feedback =D I see you're London based, you should check us out!

EternalOne-INHUMAN__Leave Me Some Feedback?

Www.Soundcloud.com/EternalOne909/Inhuman

To Mods: If I placed this wrong feel free to move it

Lyrically one of the best Ive recorded recently in my opinion, flows straight for the most part. Though that being said it's all amateur recorded, I'm talking using SC on my phone to record audio. (writing verse on paper) then simultaneously playing the instrumental on my computer, all while holding my phone close but far enough to the speaker to level out the sounds. So yeah sound quality isn't the best but I work with what I got.

All criticism accepted, I live & breathe hiphop so any feedback is welcome. Can't call yourself a true MC if you can't criticize yourself right? Which I do all the time on how I can improve. Anyway thanks to all who take the time to listen in advance, much appreciated.... Peace

hehe check this one out i made while on MXE this morning: master class http://www.reverbnation.com/phorzeine/song/19958744-master-class and Dying Jazz http://www.reverbnation.com/phorzeine/song/19988962-dying-jazz (not mixed yet or eqed) and another (MXE creativity) U Don't Understand http://www.reverbnation.com/phorzeine/song/19974498-u-dont-understand

i mostly mix by ear but its so much damn work compressing and eqing every single sound when u have 20 different ones lol

i'm not an expert but i know most of the tricks for drums but when i am high i just do whatever sounds best (usually have to fix it when i am sober tho lol). i always double track when i use reverb most producers do not like things wet anymore for some reason, i always thought that was a cool trick for bass sounds like a bass drum. So one track is normal then the other has reverb but just turned down so its subtle :)

id shoot myself if i had to play live as id lose control over all that fun stuff :) i'd just hit play on a wave file lol

@the peaker: funny story about ur dog lol i love getting that messed up; ill check those tracks out later today

^ugh @ pros messin up reverb and recording through a monitor i mic any live instrument; it's the only way

here's some quick mixing tips i jacked from somewhere a while ago lol:

Bass Drum EQ:
Band 1: +6dB at 55Hz
Band 2: -9dB at 275Hz (narrow)
Band 3: +7dB at 3.7kHz
Band 4: +8dB at 6.2kHz shelf
Bass Drum Compression:
Ratio: 3:1 or 4:1
Attack: 4ms
Release: 200ms
Threshold: adjust for about 3-6dB gain reduction
More “in your face” kick drum compression
Ratio: 6:1
Attack: 3ms
Release: 200ms
Threshold: adjust for about 8-10dB gain reduction

and if anyone wants me to send them some of the best samples you'll ever hear just pm me


@peaker:

disco bees - god damn nice intro, sounds are amazing, bass drums mixed very well and punchy; sweet guitar melody and nice crashes to get drums going. You almost have this Ott like quality to your songs that is amazing. You are really fucking good man. I love this song. Nothing i could do to make it better IMO except adding funny vocals to it :) also love that siren and then hitting the melody hard half way through! (around 1:30) You are creative as fuck man. I think the track could hit harder if you get it mastered by a pro tho and it would make it really pop. I think it's missing some mids somewhere but i can't really tell and a bit of highs when it flanges on the melody. Had to listen to this one a few times. really really like it.

cracker - intro drags a bit; nice bubbling sounds tho love that shit, mixed well but drums are too far back in the mix especially the snares and hats. Need to eq that to bring it out a bit more. Overall it lacks that flare from not being eq'd and mixed but the ideas and sounds are definitely good. Do you play live or anything? people need to hear your work. At 1:48 it really gets going but it should hit like that the whole time. My advice: more punchy mixing.

Off the Leash - again super interesting intro; love that typing sound and those voices in the back. What synth are you using there it's fucking awesome? The main theme is so damn good, should be in a blockbuster movie for sure. I can't even critique this one, you killed it hard. Nice work. This has to be the best song i have heard from you, seriously impressed jesus christ. I'm gonna throw most of ur songs on my mp3 player for my car.

Now for Siccness:

voice is too loud lower by like 5dB - not bad rapping but your mix is off by a lot easy fix though. I would love to get your voice on one of my beats. Do you collab much? if you send me a vocal track i'll show u some real magic :) nice vocal recording quality tho what mic are you using? sm-57? Listened to your other stuff i think we could really put some great shit together if you wanted. i have another vocalist as well (opium on here) and he is great. The two of you on a track would be fucking sweet. We should do a test run on a cover song or something i have some great ideas already.

here is a sample of opium rapping on my stuff: http://www.reverbnation.com/play_no...n&utm_source=page_object_news_item&kick=65907
