i'm completely serious.
FLAC = http://flac.sourceforge.net/
it's a lossless compression.
this is the install for the codec: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/flac/flac-1.2.1b.exe

this is a front-end to encode your wav files: http://members.home.nl/w.speek/flac.htm

other front-ends will work. encode all of those songs in FLAC, tell me where to grab them and your email you use for Paypal or your address and i'll send you a check.

Awesome, that's totally sweet of you. Do you have a Mac format codec by any chance?

Got it!

Compressing about 7 tunes for you as I type.

So I checked out your website, cool stuff! Is this for your internet radio thing, or do you just like paying people for their music?

+1
Good music, good playing & singing, and good mixing/engineering.

I think the vocal levels are fine. They are on the louder side, but many songs have comparable vocals levels. If you are going for buried vocals like Tool or something, you didn't do it. If you want them to sit nicely on top, I think you did great.

Awesome guitar layering - worthy of comparisons to Jimmy Page.

Man, your cymbals always sound great! The whole song is awesome like the ones you've done in the past, but I'm curious what kind of cymbals you have.

Good work again!

I suppose you're using an assortment of Royer mod MXL's? Heh.

BTW, the ending is particularly interesting with the drums all of the sudden going backwards and then a fade out with only the guitars. Sweet.

it will probably end up on the station, but this is for my own personal enjoyment. i like the songs and the recordings fit the songs very well.

keep doing what you do.
let me know when those songs are done compressing and where i should send money to.

I've got them compressed but I'm gonna upload them later because I'm watching a football game on the internet right now and uploading the files was breaking my connection. Priorities, haha.

Cymbals: mix of old K zildjians and new Istanbuls.

MXL Royer Mod mic on: vocals, drum room mic, bass cab.

Really nice song, I like it a lot.

*wanders off singing* you think you're yourself, you could be almost anybody else...

Nice song. I really dig the sound of the drums.

Nice!
Really cohesive. I found myself listening to it without my engineer hat/bandanna/dew-rag. Every time I tried to zoom in and focus on one element and how I thought it sounded, I wound up zoomed out just listening to the song as a whole again. One of the hardest things to do is to get a collection of tracks/overdubs to sound like they're just this moment that you happened to capture on "tape". You pulled that off.
The only parts that "woke me up" from my little "listening dream" were some of the very low register vocals. Not sure what I'd recco there though, because the melody you're supporting sounds like it has to go there. You might be able to get away with moving those parts up an octave. Of course, I get the sense that you're not about to do any more tracking, so this is all academic.
Again, great song.
