10 May 12 - 10:28 PM (#3349369) Subject: RE: Review: The Banjo The Bucket and The Gun From: Charley Noble Just listened to the "Wild Bill Jones" track. I can't say that I've ever heard such a bluesy rendition before. But it might grow on me. My baseline for "Wild Bill Jones" is more like Obray Ramsey or Frank Proffitt. Cheerily, Charley Noble |

24 May 12 - 09:11 PM (#3355303) Subject: RE: Review: The Banjo The Bucket and The Gun From: michaelr Ho hum, another record featuring breathy little-girl voices. Those songs would benefit from some gutsiness in the vocal delivery. As to the production, the voices don't sound as if they're in the same room with the instruments. It's a bit disorienting. You asked... |

26 May 12 - 12:16 PM (#3355894) Subject: RE: Review: The Banjo The Bucket and The Gun From: Amos Well, I liked 'em. The breathiness Michael is so snarky about is possibly an issue of production mixing, balancing the filters on vocal and instruments. But by and large I enjoyed all the tracks. THe Moonshiner is very different here than any other rendition I have heard, but I am omnivorous when it comes to this sort of music. Good job. A |

The breathiness Michael is so snarky about is possibly an issue of production mixing, balancing the filters on vocal and instruments. But by and large I enjoyed all the tracks... Good job." Agreed on all points. The main "issue" for me was the banjo overshadowing the vocals on two tracks I listened to in a row. I don't know sqaut about the technical side but when I can't understand the words I get frustrated easily... ya know? Thanks for sharing. |

I think it is to do with the levels of compression and reverb. I tend to learn best from doing rather than being taught. So all comments are very welcome... |

06 Jun 12 - 06:47 AM (#3359916) Subject: RE: Review: The Banjo The Bucket and The Gun From: matt milton vocal doesnt’ sound “breathyâ€쳌 to me. Sure, her voice isn’t strident or nasal or foghorny, but it just sounds natural to me. It’s certainly not “little girlâ€쳌! She’s not holding back, in the way that I associate with that coy, little girl way of singing. One BIG criticism: you’re starting the album with the worst-mixed track! Devil In My Head sounds like a rough mix, whereas most of the others sound really good. Seriously, either remix Devil, or at the very least move it further into the album. The banjo and other instruments sound so much better - very impressive - on the other tracks. I don’t quite understand how it sounds so much more mushy than the other songs: was it recorded differently? |

06 Jun 12 - 06:58 AM (#3359920) Subject: RE: Review: The Banjo The Bucket and The Gun From: matt milton listening through to the end, really nice separation and clarity generally. I'd turn down some of the backing vocals in places (maybe even take some of them out, they sometimes seem a bit intrusive, need blending in more). but generally those are very good mixes, much better than anything I've ever managed in my own dabblings in home recording... By the way, if you post the same request on this website here, you might get some more tech-y, geeky responses: http://www.gearslutz.com/board/work-progress-advice-requested-show-tell-artist-showcase-mix-offs/ |

07 Jun 12 - 01:44 PM (#3360543) Subject: RE: Review: The Banjo The Bucket and The Gun From: GUEST I can't think of anything dramatically different in the recording of The Devil in my head. All the tracks were recorded over 4 months firstly in South Morocco then in Somerset England. I was seriously working it out as we went along and seem to remember that The Devil in My head was completed in Morocco where as most of the other tracks had the vocals re done in England. So as Charlie rightly spotted the instuments and the vocals are not in the same room. Not even on the same continent. |
