[Time of your Life (Cover)]

This was good, Love the guitar quality. you had a strange EQ'ing on your voice however. It would be nice if you put more effort in the vocals, and compressed them so they are louder. You are an alright singer :)

P.S - If you have time you should check my stuff :)

Jonah-B responds:

Thank you! I wasn't really sure how to eq the vocals since I've never actually done it and I didn't do any kind of studying on it. I just added a few things that sounded ok to my ears, but my ears are used to instrumental mixing so maybe I should work on that :)

I added compression to the vocals, but only to even out the dynamics. I didn't want an overpowering sound on them because of the off notes I hit. I'm not a big fan of doing covers, so I'll put more effort into the next vocal work I do. Thanks again! I'll definitely have a look at your stuff!

[Anamorphic Lense]

Very nice and mellow, I'm sure your voice would be very fitting for this piece! We should get in contact you know, Composer to composer ;) You should check a few of my stuff :) I made a Skyrim rock piece aha!

DFerociousbeast responds:

i love your smells like teen spirit cover, your Skyrim theme cover was amazing too! If you want to contact me, i guess add me on steam or skype, just message me for the usernames for either :D

[Vampire's Kiss]

This is really top notch sound quality! only had one issue. That the middle was turned up somewhere, and when at volume hurts my ears, and is fairly hard to define the guitar.

[MGS]

This was very strong, and had good feeling :) Great approach on the orchestral side of things. I did notice however some things where slightly out of place/beat. But over all, great practice!

ResEve responds:

Thanks, yeah I definitely know some things are terribly off lol, but I do like the feel myself.

[Mi Ira]

Very good, great layout, the guitar is a bit drowned out b the bass, I also love the drums, what program did you use to generate them?

dursty responds:

EZ Drummer. generaly i use Drum Kit from Hell Pack.

[Spectres (Acoustic)]

You have a really cool voice, also May i ask how you get such crisp quality when recording your acoustic guitar :D

Bidoof45 responds:

This song is the worst sounding out of my acoustic tracks but I use a condenser aimed at the 12th fret for tone, and a dynamic mic by my bridge to capture the percussive sounds of strings. Most people don't agree with this method and would prefer 2 condensers but I only have 1 :|

[Good Life - SG]

This Song made me happy! :) sweet/simple melody which fits in every way. :)
I especially love the synthesized effects in the background :D, they prove for a beautiful atmosphere.
Keep up the good work!!!!
5/5!!!!

SKILLZmakeKILLZ responds:

I will thank you so much, add me as a fav (:

[Enie Meenie (preview)]

noice ;)

this is great, i need a vocalist :L interested ? xD
i think if you harmonised your voice, or even over dubbed it would be sweet :) :)

pearljam10 responds:

Haha sorry man he is taken.

I did harmonize AND over dub his voice in our latest song if you'd want to check it out.

Good luck on finding a vocalist!

Burn7 responds:

FREAKING THANKS FREAKING DUDE :D

I always EQ my guitars and try to get every last bit of awesome tone out of them that I can. I actually use a freeware EQ called "Antares ConsoleEQ", it's pretty shmexy :)

[We're Alright]

well

i must say the beggining is very simular as is the "main riff" to The hell song by sum41 but.....WHO cares this was a master piece great punk voice, that was real punk rock music, very the offspring i love it :D :D good song, no GREAT song, gull of energy all the time, always changing thats what punk is all about

demented2005 responds:

Yea, it was weird since it wasn't my inspiration. But they're similer because the beginning note is 3 steps down from the base note ( in this case it's C# ) then the second is the base note. So they use the first 2 notes, which i guess sounds similer since the tempo is near the same :(

But thanks alot! i'm glad you enjoyed it :)
