jono1,
I hear a good song there...I like the singer's voice very much(you?)...The main thing I would work on is tightening it up overall. The drummer sounds like a good player, and the drums could come up a touch...I'de leave the bongo/congas out at least until the drums come in. Just a few suggestions I hear...
But as I say, I hear a really good song there, and this is a good beginning. Post back with any updates as you go, so we can listen.

Thanks for checking out my track Roy, I used a Dean BW6 Backwoods 6-String Banjo for the banjo on the track. I usually like to blend acoustic type instruments and samples with a lot of my tracks. The live instruments in this track were the banjo, snare, and I played the keys sample that is in the background panning right and left between the speakers slightly. Mind you I used a VST for the keys, but still played them in real time with no MIDI hooked up. I did a bit of processing on the banjo to get it to sound so "up front" also like a bit of compression and ambient reverb from the audiosuite in PT.

This record I produced, engineered and mixed. Mixed in PTLE. But I did have the luxury of tracking through a Neve though.

Hi guys,..
well i went and bought myself a Tascam 38 after i got my old master reels back from this studio after nearly twenty years. Man i thought they wouldnt be playable. They were covered in mold, and really poorly wound. I was pretty heartbroken, but I got out a magnifying glass, and used some home-made dental tools to carefully clean the mold off the tapes. Then I carefully rewound the tapes, and baked them. They really didnt weather too well, but there was enough left to get a decent sound out of them, so I preserved a couple of hours worth of my old bands material, and some other gems that are priceless to me. Because of the state of the tapes, I will probably never be able to play them again... so thank goodness for modern technology. (although, after listening to this, some of you guys might think it would have been better to just leave it alone)
This isnt exactly my latest stuff, because its pretty old, but I thought you guys might enjoy hearing how protools can be used to preserve and restore old audio.

Laugh or Shed a Tear

I didnt write or sing this song, but I played on it and recorded it. This was from way back in 1985, so it may sound strange. I was the primary songwriter for this band, but this is one of the other guys songs we did. I like the drumming on it. Thats my weird little guitar solo's through out.
Enjoy:)

Great stuff! I wish I could sit down with you all and see how you're doing what you're doing!

Here's some of what I've got going on. You can see my progression in engineering by listening to these three in order:

Salvation - http://www.onethingministries.com/salvation.mp3

Immortal, Invisible - http://www.onethingministries/immortal.mp3

I Want to Know You - http://www.onethingministries.com/iwant.m4a

I'm the artist on the first two songs (along with my band). The third song is someone else.

Gravel,
Sounds pretty good man! I think that you can nudge a few spots forwards and back and tighten it up some. I undestand it is from an old reel. Can you isolate the tracks on it?

I think that the parts, if they can be nudged will definitely tighten up though if you could do that.

Cool retro feel though!
