[quote name='musophilr' timestamp='1332930884' post='1594951'] Checkout Girl. You've added more balls to the guitar sounds, nice. FWIW I'd try this: put the drums up as high as you dare. then add bass till it sounds like a balanced rhythm section. then add guitars. then vocals, and if you can't get the vocals high enough to hear properly, try: guitars that happen at the same time as vox - pan them to the sides away from the vox (which should be central), also scoop their EQ at 3kHz by -3dB and hump the vox at 3kHz by +3dB. IMO rhythm guitars don't need to be high in the mix at all. I know they sound big when you first put them in but that temptation has to be resisted. [/quote] Thinks I'll keep a copy of this and give you advice a try. I have a couple of others I need to get on SC first.

Hi there, for infomation I updated the tracks and added another after getting some other feedback. I'm much happier wiht them now. More feedback always welcome. [url="http://soundcloud.com/mole-music-1"]http://soundcloud.com/mole-music-1[/url] Cheers

Very Timely musophil!

I remember seeing a recorded Cream concert at the pictures in the 70's. I remember it being good and Ginger Baker being awesome. He seemed to have a ciggy hanging from his lip the whole time-not sure what he was smoking though. I wonder if the film is still around?

Thanks for the feeback, I'm glad you liked COG. The vocals is a problem as I never sing unless in the bath or drunk at a party. I think the solution there may be to get someone else to sing em. Thanks for the book tip also I need every tip I can get at the moment as I'm finding recording slow and frustrating. Every day and in every way I will get better and better!

Fist attempt, many more songs in the production line, thanks! [url="http://soundcloud.com/mole-music-1"]http://soundcloud.com/mole-music-1[/url]

My account here, I'm really trying to develop my songwriting but in order to record I'm having to learn how to use software (garage band), re-learn the guitar (re-started 4 months ago after 25 yrs) and have owned a bass for about 3 weeks. Best not to mention the singing [url="http://soundcloud.com/mole-music-1"]http://soundcloud.com/mole-music-1[/url] Feedback welcome as so far my wife is the only person who has heard me playing.

Indeed, why bother unless it turned into a suitcase so you could put your luggage in it.

Thanks, pic 3 has many of my favourite things in. A Guitar, a pinball backglass, Doug Watson art and a hot lady. The pin machine is based on the film Barb Wire starring Pam Anderson at the peak of her abilities. A rubbish film but worth watching for obvious reasons.

pictures as requested, almost an albino!

[quote name='daz' timestamp='1332352957' post='1587215'] Maybe its just people who are from Tyne-side and are [i]of a certain age[/i]. (IE: people who might know what I'm on about if I said [i]"I'd dow anythin for a canny bag o Tudor, man" for instance ?[/i]) [/quote] Thats me, well Northumberland, which has changed totally since they widened the road! Sooo does that mean that this forum is called Barsechart?

[quote name='steve' timestamp='1332346982' post='1587058'] Scone [/quote] Its scon! calling it anything else is a southern cone

[quote name='thunderbird13' timestamp='1332341570' post='1586944'] probably belongs to the other pronounciation thread but in the olden days before the internet I rang up directory enquiries to get the number for the bass centre. I asked for bass ( as in lace ) which is the only pronouncation and the operator insisted on calling it bass ( as in grass ) , she even told me that my pronounciation was wrong [/quote] Thats her, she is my best friend!

[quote name='seashell' timestamp='1332341186' post='1586934'] Don't worry, what counts is how you play it - not how you say it! [/quote] Only just! I'm putting some stuff on SoundCloud soon so you will be able to comment on my bass slapping technique!

[quote name='Johnston' timestamp='1332338310' post='1586865'] I was in looking at fishing rods once. Made the mistake of talking about Base instead of Bass . Wasn't until I noticed the guy who owned the place giving those strange looks and polite nodding I twigged on and had to explain I had just come from the guitar shop down the road. [/quote] I bet they said "are you after rockfish or rock lobsters?"

haahaa well I may have lost the argument but these posts are cracking me up, made my day! I guess I'll have to change my ways or pretend to cough each time I say it

Nooo that can't be right look at the spelling, anyway I can't say it like that without choking, you will be calling scons scones next! Where will it all end?

So being from the north I have a bass guitar, pronounced like "crass" guitar but I'm finding that others down here in the south have bass guitars they call base guitars. This is causing marital problems so I need a definitive answer as to which is right. Only one way to find out which is right, c.mon fight,which is it?

Yep the string set up on this one was to low for me to live with. All the notes were clear but I could hear a slight rattle all the way up the neck on the lower 3 strings. I like it fine now! I'm home recording so it matters.
