I don't like guitar solos so I experimented. Do I need to ask your permission next time?
Who are you to judge it anyway?
Your 'review' drips of arrogance and cockiness.
People like you take the fun out of this site.
Easy Tiger..settle down....You can do whatever you like with your mixes...
all i said was that your vocals sounded squashed...i said i like distorted vocals...but you hadn't done a good job presenting them IMO....
all is said was i didn't like your treatment of the guitar solo...as you'd made such a bold statement with your choice of effects....i felt it was OK to be bold with my opinion...In hindsight, I can understand if my steak analogy didn't go down well with you
making artistic choices and receiving critique of those choices is part of learning. You've taken my comments personally....and attacked me personally....I don't remember using the phrase "people like you" as a precursor for any of my comments.
I said your "bass, acoustic and drums are balanced nicely and sound great." How is that arrogance and cockiness? I thought that I was being positive....and it was the first thing I said
You don't have to like all my comments....I certainly don't like all the comments I receive....but often times there are grains of truth in every critique, and the comments I dislike the most often help me the most once I've calmed down and thought about what's being said to me.
So maybe develop a thicker skin.....If you know that there are problems with the mastering.....why not fix them and make your mix better (if you want)...rather than shooting the messenger.
We're all here to learn..I'm assuming you are too...and its not always easy. It takes courage to put up mixes and open oneself up to other's opinions...don't take what I or others say to heart ...
