http://f0.bcbits.com/img/a0725314576_2.jpg http://nipptwissle.bandcamp.com/ Just finished an EP with my duo, it's a mix of electronic / pop / experimental, we try to make catchy songs but still keep things interesting musically, and we tried to put a lot of variety into the arrangements. All record...

It's very nice...sounds like it could be a quieter Mogwai tune. I really like around the two minute mark where the flute (or whatever it is) comes in...there's definitely a nice thick-textured sound there. However when you hear the attack on the flute, you can really tell the inauthenticity of it......

So many months later, the full EP is finally up ( http://coach1.bandcamp.com/album/flip-out ), but it sure was a struggle. Basically we recorded the new songs and I was really disappointed with the way most of them turned out, spent a lot of time fiddling around with the mixes, and then did nothing....

It could use some more enunciation :lol::lol::lol: Just kidding! sort of, I like the voice but wouldn't mind being able to better understand what's being sung. It's definitely a pretty bare song which sometimes can really work, but yeah I think the first half of the song could use some sort of dress...

Thanks for the comments Nick. I do feel like I normally skimp, or "settle" on my vocals since I'm not a very accomplished singer. I am going to attempt to take more time to make the vocals stronger in newer recordings, which will probably just mean I need to do a lot more punching in. I have to be h...

thanks for listening! my biggest problem with drums is trying to get everything with two mics since i'm just using an mbox, which i usually just use a kick and an overhead so sometimes the snare gets lost a bit. I did move the key around for Friend I Know a bit before recording; were you thinking it...

Week 5: http://soundcloud.com/z-plan/friend-i-know This is a song I've had rolling around in my head for a year or two now, so I was pretty excited to finally get it recorded and be pleased with the results. You could say it's sort of Beatles-y, though that description is definitely a cop out. I was...

Week 4 (3 was skipped because I was busy...I need to double up now): http://soundcloud.com/z-plan/heavy-metal-tenor

Your stuff is so good. To me it's the epitome of tastefulness; every instrument is playing exactly what it should and nothing more. This track is GROOVY. I like the flute texturally, but I wish it were constructed more like an actual solo rather than a simple repeated melody, but I'm assuming it's o...

Very entrancing and atmospheric...that was awesome. Sounds like it could've been an instrumental track off of Massive Attack's "Mezzanine." I have no idea what kind of synth sounds you were using, or if they were even synthesized sounds, but it was pretty creepy.

Ha, only someone from the UK would call this "country-style." Anyways its a nice song and I like the mix, it's pretty unique sounding. When it first started I thought the vocals and the snare sounded odd but by the end I thought they sounded fine. Sorry I can't give more constructive advice, but I t...

Well I finally got to a point in my life where I have my own separate room for recording. Since I started pursuing home recording around age 16 (almost 10 years ago!) I have always been confined to my bedroom, which was a nightmare space-wise whenever I wanted to set up and play drums. Anyways, I ha...

Nice job, I love how dreamy and spacey it is. I also love doubled vocal lines an octave apart. Was the higher voice male or female? It sounds female to me but I don't see any female names in the credits. Also the part at 4:34 scared me a bit but it was awesome. A nice slow-builder.

Wow, great suggestion. I went to them with my inquiry and the first answer worked. I had to create an aggregate device in my audio setup.

I do have the correct interface selected, and under active input channels it says "0 out of 0" (it's 2 out of 2 for output). So as you can see, it doesn't even detect that any are there! If I try to change the track input, it says nothing's available. I just tested it on Garageband though, and it de...
