@SamPage cool man, I'll dig in and do some level adjustment on the tracks. Appreciate the ears!
I Wonder (Nov. 4 draft) by SamPage 6 months ago
I'd say this one sounds pretty good on all fronts too. I like the abrupt ending a lot as well. Solid song brother!
Lie To Me (Nov. 6 draft) by SamPage 6 months ago
Hey man, I'm diggin the vibe. I would like to hear the drums a bit more upfront in the mix, but otherwise this is sounding really good! Nice guitar playin'.
Back to the Start by andrewhand 6 months ago
@pete hey man, thanks for dropping by. I'm glad you felt the build! I was trying to really make it punch! Hope things are going good your way.
Back to the Start by andrewhand 6 months ago
Hey @SamPage appreciate the feedback. I Just have eq, compression and a touch of reverb going on the vox. Maybe it's the compression? Curious which you're hearing too much of...and thanks for pointing it out!

Constructive criticism always has a soft spot in my heart...keeps us growin! smiley
Hold Me (jolo mix) by brnPetra 6 months ago
Just listening to this on the website guys...this is a GREAT song!!! Had to bounce over here and leave a comment about just how rockin' this is. The build to the end is just fantastic. Really love what you did with this.

Wow...

Still Point (Chris Whitley cover) by Dyl 6 months ago
Dyl, this is a superb cover man! The guitars and mix are just quite sweet my friend. You've paid well tribute and helped keep Chris's music alive brother.

Dyl...just had to add in one more piece after some digging...

I just checked out Chris's version and I have to say that I find your take on it to really jibe more with the melancholy lyric. I feel the music on his original doesn't quite capture the true angst of the words, and yours does man!

So again, REALLY good job here and I feel you've made an improvement on the original

Free by andrewhand 7 months ago
@pete Thanks for dropping by man! That riff just kinda came out of the blue after I'd already done the other parts of the song. Guess that's the way good ones happen smiley.

Hope you're having a good Monday!
Free by andrewhand 7 months ago
@Dyl thanks friend! I can only echo the same sentiments to you...you are a music machine that seriously delivers the goods. I hope someday we get to do some more work together!!!
Oh! Darling (Beatles cover) by Figurochi 7 months ago
I would also have to agree that overall this has some really strong stuff going on. The playing and backing vox felt really sweet to me, so well done man. I would imagine that many have failed to do this song justice, but you didn't smiley
Another Girl (remix) by Figurochi 7 months ago
Hey Fig, thanks for stopping by! Nice to meet a new iComp member, or new to me that is smiley.

This song has strong composition and arrangement man! Really well done. I can see the work you've put into your songwriting. I'm reminded of The Beatles a touch on this tune with a bit more attitude. I like that!

Look forward to listening to some more of your work.

Best Wishes,
