looking for some input on some songs..

I’m new here and thought I’d post some work I did a couple of months ago:

http://www.mindsetband.com/cd/03_BuriedInMyHand.mp3

http://www.mindsetband.com/cd/04_NewMoon.mp3

I write songs as I record…I get an idea and start building in Ntrack…I record them so my band can learn the songs…

I’m playing everything except the drums which are programmed in fruity loops…my next plan/project is to re-record my demos and really focus…

let me know what you guys think about the recording, mix or anything that pops in your head while listening…

thanks…

Nice work, CDT. Creative and original, IMHO. Nice vocal work, great listening overall, especially considering they are mainly blueprints for your band to follow. I think when you re-record/remix/master and “really focus” as you say, you’ll probably fix the problems I’m hearing (mainly mixing issues), so I won’t say much about it. It’s mostly just a matter of balancing things out. For example, in Break Free, the words are hard to hear sometimes because the vocal level is low, and the bass guitar level seems a little overpowering, while the snare in the bridge(?) at “Only a moment” seems low as well. To me, the strong points here are the songs themselves and the vocals.

Thanks for the tunes!

Tony

thanks Tony. I appreciate the listen and the feedback…I’m trying to learn about EQ for balancing the mix as oppossed to always riding faders…and to have some patience when I mix…

anyone have some good tips or article links for mixing and using EQ and compression on specific instruments?

Great song, like I said on Audiominds, the Guitar solo at 2:20 is a bit weak. Needs some beef over them Eb and B chords,there’s a lot of scope for a good solo.
