Re: HI quality MP3's to Bash Away at. really wanna know!
MarsS - I really like the vocal mix, and the drum sound... the guitar sounds okay too. The piano sounds terrible, and I agree with Brandon - can only barely hear the kick (and it doesn't seem to be in the right place when I do hear it). The song itself has some performance issues. The piano part isn't particularly well played, and some minor timing problems elsewhere too. Is the string sound supposed to be "synth strings"? The bass doesn't seem to have much in the way of definition. Nice song.
membersonly - Again, nice drum sound, nice vocal sound (that seems to get a little lost sometimes). The low end sounds too round. It's there, but has no definition. Need to watch the overall limiting/compression... the whole level gets taken out from time to time, particularly with the crash cymbals, and on at least one occasion from the toms.
The overall feeling I get that it has the vibe its going for - I don't know what that is - Beattles-ish? Its really out of my genre-comfort-zone... but its convincing to my ears. So overall, I think the low end needs to be punchier, the compression/limiting needs to be revisited (probably means the mix is wrong to start with), and I'd get better sounds for piano and strings. Also those couple of performance issues (kick and piano mostly)...
