This is my personal soundcloud to showcase the kind of guitar/vocals folk stuff I play around pubs, mostly Scottish and Irish stuff. This is a small demo I recorded at the local college with one of the sound engineering students in their studio. Fairly basic but does the trick.

And this is the wee folk band I've started. I'm swapping mandolin, guitar, and vocals, your man from Donegal on guitar, bodhrán, and vocals, and your man from Wirral on five string banjo, mouth harp, and vocals. Been recording our rehearsals/sessions in the pub with my phone/H4zoom.

4 songs with the zoom:

12 songs with the phone:

Dude, awesome. You sound a kinda like Dick Gaughan, which ain't ever a bad thing. Are all the songs trad or are there originals?

Like your take on Froggy Went A-Courtin', more midwestern than southern on the vocals. Makes it sound more... singer-songwritery than I usually hear it.



VVV: from the accent, I'd guess Puerto Rico

Hey if anyone can give me a spare set of ears on the mix on this one fairly quickly, I'd appreciate it.

Trying to have it ready by V-Day, which is also my anniversary. I think it's pretty much there, but there's always poo poo I don't hear until later.

I'd push the vocals up a little, maybe throw a bit of reverb on it, but only a pinch.

Take my advice with a grain of salt, though. I've only got like two years' experience.





Here's my band. I've been recording just about every jam sesh they had for the past year and a half, once a week. I'm engineer and occasional backup vocals (not this one, had a cold). I think my mixes are finally starting to sound good. Just switched bassists about five weeks ago. It's been rough going while the band re-gelled, but I think it's coming together again. Here's what I got Wednesday, and I'll welcome any and all comments.

Devil's Advocate (the name predates the movie, but it'll be a cold day in hell before anyone believes us) : Punk rock/reggae (sublime-influenced punk basically) out of Redondo Beach, CA.


I'm kind of feeling my way blindly through mixing/mastering. As you can tell these tracks are all live, with every member of the band inside our garage studio. I want to start tracking stuff but I haven't done it before.

My first instinct would be "bring the lead vocals up a bit" but I think that'd interfere with the generally... dreamy (?) nature of the track. Not really my thing, but well-executed. I particularly like the backing vocals (vocal synth? sounds like a continuous "oo").

As long as we're doing this, Coohoolin have you ever covered Ewan and the Gold? If you have I'd like to hear it.

Hah, just twigged on to this project's name. That's a Pogues reference isn't it?
