Re: [Lmuse-user] My songs. Enjoy !

Hi Tim,

I've listened to the songs (only three of them left now?) and WOW, some 
great stuff!!

Here comes another review (whether you like it or not ;)

First the bad (which isn't bad at all):

I'm really impressed by your guitar virtuosity, but I have to agree with 
Mathias, the rythm-sound sounds "lined"/harsh, as I understood, you did 
have some speaker simulator in the chain? I'm sorry to say it's not the 
most convincing simulation.
I have a fairly long history with guitar amp-simulators (had a Zoom 9002 
some 15 years ago http://www.guitar.ru/articles/zoom/9002.jpg and have 
been trying different stuff since then), basically the only ones that 
I've been happy with are PODs, others may differ...
I guess you could try hooking up your amp but most of the time that's 
just a big hassle and not necessarily good sounding :-/.

I saw Mathias mentioned the drum sound, very good programming but the 
sound does suck bigtime. Exchanging for better sound would improve the 
sound no end. http://www.nskit.com is a fairly generic free kit with 
good samples. (seems they moved the free ones to the forum... )

Have you tried Jamin? It's a mastering tool... the process of getting 
the levels "right", and "right" in my book is up. I think the the mix 
could be improved by pushing it some, probably add some more bass also.

The good (which is very good):

Gryphon - love this one, listened to it several times and I like it a 
lot.  The keyboard stuff is just awesome, I wish I could play like that 
8-), goes for the guitar stuff too.
The monotonous riffing in it really itches my scratch, or whatever, 
trying to find some references but I'm a bit rusty, a bit Jeff Beck and 
Tony MacAlpine perhaps?!

Sick in the Head - I've listened some to Green Day in my day but apart 
from them this isn't really my music. I'm not sure what it's about but 
it sounds angry :)

The Struggle - more instrumental :) great stuff. Nothing specific, 
listened to it several times, still great.

Stoned Again - gone now, I did download it before and got a few listens 
but my memory is shortlived, it was a cool song, that I do remember.

Come Back Baby - also gone. Listened before, same comment as the former.

The great (really really great):

I want more!! :)
I can't believe you havent published songs before online, I guess there 
are other ways but songs on the big internets is FUN fun FUN!

There are lots of sites out there that let you put up songs for public 
consumption and review (often they only let you put up a limited amount 
of songs though), http://www.archive.org is an exception.
If all else fails and you'd like to find some more permanent hosting 
http://spamatica.se is available :)

I guess that's all for the moment,
Keep it up!

/Robert
