Some Folk-tastic new tunes from my home studio!

Tomorrow(Colorado)

let me know what you think...production-wise, playing wise, songwriting wise...etc.

[Sizzler]

The quality is excellent. One of the best home recordings I have ever heard. All the levels were perfect, very well mixed.

You're 18 and producing that at home? Impressive. I'll give my honest 2 cents because I think your potential deserves it.

Oh Hannah
Pros:
Guitar (left) guitar captured very nicely
I liked the main vocal vibe, while not polished it suits the song nicely. Bring it up in the mix!
Harp work fits great.
Simple, effective bassline

Cons:
Strummed acoustic (right) perhaps too compressed
Shaker a tad too present
Watch the intonation on what I think is a lapslide, and chose which notes you slide into.
Snare drum rimshots considerably too ringy, and seem to overpower the vibe of the acoustics/vocals. When you hit it dead center the snare sounds fine. A bit 'roomy' though.
Overall drumming could be more steady and simple.

Tomorrow
Pros:
Again good work on capturing the acoustics, excellent playing and arranging of complimentary parts
Bring that lead vocal up a tad
Simple, effective bassline and drumming
Very listenable song, wanted it to go longer!

Cons:
Snare sound fine, but is very roomy/distant compared to the 'direct' sounding kick, which itself sounds overly muffled and one-dimensional

Overall fantastic effort.

Listening on my KRK V6 IIs

thanks for the comments guys! i agree with most of the cons as well...it was all one take stuff, and its admittedly a bit unpolished. my set up is insanely archaic...being 2 mics on the guitar, four on the drums into a 6 channel mixer-->fast track-->my macbook running garageband.

ill remix it and have a listen on some proper monitors...(i mixed it using some cheap headphones...this thing was recorded in my bedroom at home and mixed in my dorm room)
