Wow. What a great musical canvas you have painted on here Bryn. I'm currently surrounded by happy playing kids and will be giving this a careful listen on headphones later over this long weekend. Thanks very much for providing a download button - I'm looking forward to it!
Here's to the end of 08... and I'm off to listen to the beginning of 09 next.

What I Dont Need Now #2 trial mix for CD, Needs David Vocals by BridgeCreek 15 days ago
Thanks Dyl, FE. Very helpful, and much appreciated you stopped by. I'll be mixing new versions this week (in all the snow in Portland), will make sure all your feedback gets incorporated.
Happy Holidays,

What I Dont Need Now #2 trial mix for CD, Needs David Vocals by BridgeCreek 19 days ago
Great feedback as always. Garni had some cool ideas on how get the drums and bass right in the mix. Main issue I'm seeing in this thread was the effects I put on the guitars - last version needed more EQ but I think I picked the wrong EQ. I have an idea on how to fix it: I'll have David come over, sing his backing vocals, and sit with me till his guitar sounds the way he wants it to sound.

I'll post the updated track in a week or so. I have a feeling that in a couple more mixes I'll finally get it right.

It takes a village to help me mix a tune smiley Maybe I'll just need to go take a class and actually learn how to mix. (or better yet I think our next CD we have a line on a studio that will record us and mix us so I can be the little old bass player and song writer).

MANY, MANY thanks for all the great comments. Irok all the best. Tony, you are the man and always will be. Henno, Pharm, 4arms, Jeff, have a happy holiday!!!!!!

Very, very helpful. Will get a new mix out incorporating all this insightful comments. Thanks so much Julian, Dave, Pharm, B.
JUST LIKE CATS by Barretok 23 days ago
Great rolling yowling, howling, alley-cat brawling feel on this tune. I like how it ebbs and flows. The intro is fabulous. The guitar solo in the middle will scare even the meanest cats away. Well done B!
Muddy Water - first trial mix for CD, still needs Davids vocals by BridgeCreek 23 days ago
Thanks Shadow and Feenix, your feedback is greatly appreciated. We have lots of snow dumping here in Portland, so we'll be adding the final backing vocals and mixing/mastering as soon as the roads clear (Oregonians don't do snow well smiley Hope to have better versions of the tunes up in a couple days. Will be posting 1 more soon called What I Don't Need Now. Cheers, -- Alan

Great track - criminally overlooked....
Treat Me Right - old version Jan 13 2008 by BridgeCreek 11 months ago
Julian, B, Feenixx, Laz: thanks a lot for the helpful feedback.

We're going to take another shot at Treat Me Right mixing and final vocal work based on this feedback. Here is my "Punch list" so far, to finish the song:
- Drop volume of backing vocals in chorus
- Re-do or drop backing vocal in 2nd part of last verse
- Get rid of the places where the lead vocal hisses and
pops, or have Lisa re-record it.

I'll be working on these and any other suggestions people have in the next few days. Then I'll pull down this version and re-post a new improved version.

I appreciate these suggestions. Thanks a lot!

Vibrant, energetic piece, with great production. I like the rhythm throughout, and especially toward the end. The piece has a mystical, and then the ending has a feel to me of east meets west. Wonderful music, thanks for sharing.

Any Other Way - Studio Version, Oct 6 2007 by BridgeCreek 1 year ago
Thank you so much Padowan, Shadow, and Bob6 - it is very rewarding as musicians to have thoughtful people give the music a careful listen. We are taking your comments to heart, and your timing is perfect to offer them because we're still figuring out how we want our "studio" sound to come across. I have been doing the mixing, and it's dangerous to let a bass player into the control room smiley Your feedback has already given me a few ideas on where to go next, so many thanks to all of you. I hope we get some more listeners and helpful feedback along these lines.
Thank you kindly,
Alan & Bridge Creek

Fate Astray (English Version) by spootane 1 year ago
Like the slight echo on the intro in the left channel - then cool how the tune kicks in. I could use a little more of the Musicman bass up in the mix (I just had to say that for Spootane smiley ) Nice eastern flair to this song as 8Month said. Maybe a touch louder on that cool chorus - strange, and beautiful magic indeed.
Crisis Queen by andyfox 1 year ago
Nice steady bet - like how the rhythm builds. I like how you mixed in the vocals - I have speakers spread out across my room and the effect of the vocals moving around the room is really cool. Good work, and good collaboration.

Great tune Mak. The initial riff and feel reminds one of the Beatles, has a Sgt Pepper feel at first, then goes into more of a funky groove. This is fun to listen to, and is a good example of your song-crafting talents.
