  1. Look what you done and started! It's a cool vibe for sure and I appreciate your clean guitar chording and tone. The bass part was super supportive, yet maybe a bit "roomy" in the mix? I agree it's wanting a lead instrument of some kind, at some point. Did you knock down the fingersqueaks? Is so, you might let a little more back in? It would likely give you even more air in your already-pretty-cool guitar tone. good one! cheers, -Tom
  2. These days, that kid would sue the school! I bet he'd have a lawyer . . . . . . on retina.
  3. It's quirky and I wanted to hate it but . . . I just couldn't. It's simple, yet inventive. Mixwise you might look at how much the organ patch is masking the vocal. I couldn't hear all the lyrics - you might selectively drop volume on the organ patch when you have lyrics. Your organ is panned which also moves the listening target away from the vocal? I dunno. The organ might sit better in the mix if it has a fixed pan position and it wouldn't mask the vocal as much? Your reverb on the vocal is returning maybe more high end than it could, it makes the vocal a bit ringy. My .02 cents, probably all just fake news, so nevermind. cheers, -Tom
  4. Hey I like your videos and thanks for watching them! But for this one in particular apologies because the title shames me if I watch it 🤔 and I have more than enough cognitive dissonance already. I very much appreciate the reviews you do . . . Cheers, and good luck with it! -Tom
  5. you really pulled this off, great job! Guitars are so clean and perfect. cheers, -Tom

    Cop The Feel

    Well done! And may you long harvest the well-deserved rewards of bitter regret. 😅
  7. I think this was used on that hit song "Rolling in the Deep"

    Cop The Feel

    Forgive me, Father Bapu, it's been 9 days since I've bought anything musically related. My new year's resolution standing strong, 9 days in.
  9. Congrats on following my time-tested method . . . the strategic placement of clutter to enhance wave dispersion. I looked at your pics and I think the wall behind your main desk is still blank and too reflective. Who wants to help him pull down that monitor bridge, hang up a curtain or better yet a carpet with a cool design, and then put everything back up again??? It's not as good as foam, but this rug is 100 bucks, is 5x8, and would dull the splash from the wall behind your monitors: https://rugs.com/multi-5x8-theia-area-rug-6281934?rt=bbsize Can't guarantee it wasn't woven in a sweatshop somewhere, but it would look hella cool up there. You could also put it up kind of bunched on the wall, with a few intentional undulations, for better dispersal characteristics.
  10. Is this one the good one or the older one?
  11. I love the concept but the more I want to say "ooooooh!" I end up saying "Aaaaaaaaaahhhh" no. It's just not flexible enough for what they are charging, in my useless opinion.
  12. Knopfler's guitar solos at the end of Dire Straits' "Telegraph Road" and "It Never Rains" come to mind . . .
  13. Fyi it appears to be the digital version only.
  14. I read this as "McCartney ill" and was checking in to see if the Walrus was doing poorly. Assuming we can really know who wrote what in that excellent team, I would disagree respectfully, I think you don't have enough Lennon-only songs to stack up against Blackbird, Hey Jude, Yesterday, Let it Be, the Long and Winding Road, Eleanor Rigby, And I Love Her, I Saw Her Standing There, Eight Days a Week, I'll Follow the Sun, Drive My Car, Fool on the Hill, Back in the USSR, When I'm 64, a ton of the Sgt Pepper and Abbey Road ones, Penny Lane, and even some Wings songs like Let 'em In and that James Bond one. Michelle is I think brilliant from the standpoint of arrangement and chord structure, and it might be 20th on the list. You could maybe say that Lennon rocked a little harder and was less mindful of pop or jazz than Paul was. Here's a nice list: https://www.google.com/amp/s/faroutmagazine.co.uk/paul-mccartney-beatles-every-song-hes-written-playlist/amp/ Now who wants to talk Federer, Nadal, or Djokovic?
  15. To post these criticism puns takes a lot of gill. Unmitigated gill.
  16. So Lars put up a bongos deal in Deals, and I diligently searched alternatives. Sort of like "The King's Microphones" only not.
  17. 1. Sounds great 2. I use it a lot 3. The developers seem very nice 4. There is a major hang-up trying to get it to consistently export the midi so you can edit in the DAW. Some days it will, some days it won't. This is a royal pain in the yarbles. 5. From a GUI color scheme standpoint, it's one of the best of all time! 6. In Kontakt you have to scroll up and down a lot because there is too much Drumvolution real estate for the Kontakt window to accommodate. Again, yarbles. It comes down to the sound, and for a fun electronic drum palette, it just sounds amazing. A bit like a wonderful old car that you love but you can't start it unless you pound on a specific spot on the dashboard.
  18. I find the concept of this post offensive, and I think it should be deleted.
  19. Very relaxing, a cool shanty for a cold Winter morning. thanks! -Tom
  20. Just great. thanks for making it 1986 again, when I frequently sampled the likes of Fattburger, Hiroshima, and Spyro Gyra at the San Diego venue "Humphrey's by the Bay" . . killer mix and great guitar throughout, what a great listen! cheers, -Tom
  21. The song is nice and simple and heartfelt. Panning is great across the field. I'm wondering what that tiny little soft snare hit is adding? I think you could get rid of it. those people with younger ears could tell us what that harmonica is doing above 13kHz - my guess is, it's a bit strong up there, but it's just a guess because I cain't hear dat no more. nice one! cheers, -Tom
  22. I've analyzed the negotiated terms of fishing rights between the UK and the various EU fishing fleets, and determined the loser . . . . . . it's the fish.
