Steve,
I didn't have time to check out all the songs, but I did listen to "You Leave Me Breathless" - I think it's a pretty good song. I'm assuming your playing guitar and singing, I really like the music that you wrote. The only thing I can criticize (and I have no room to talk believe me) is the vocals need to be more pronounced in my opinion.

I can honestly say that I wish I had half of your song writing ability. I can usually write single riffs, but I don't know where to go with them. For now, I'm stuck being a Hetfield wannabe...

Keep up the good work Steve, I think you really have something good going here.

Hey Steve, keep up the good work man, I hear loads of talent!!! I must agree to Jake though, lyrics could be more pronounced.

And one more thing: The late Ray Charles also had a song titled "You leave me breathless" - so maybe it would be an idea to change the title?

[Steve1677]

Thanks for the comments guys !!!

Jake: I'm playing all the instruments ... guitar, bass, drums ( sequenced ) and singing.
And yeah ... i do agree that the vocals need to be pushed and a little more brightness to them.

Pete: Well for that Ray Charles thing ... i'm still going to keep that title

yeah maybe you should do so. I googled the title and found that there are many musicians who had a song titled "You leave me breathless"

Production wise I would highly recommend using a compressor on the guitars and to eq some more low end boost to make it sound fatter. What software do you use to mix the tracks? Whatever it is, I'm sure you can use plugins, do you know the Renaicance Bundle from Waves? Try the compressor eq and L1 on the guitar and the vox on your vocals.

I use Adobe audition 3.01
And that Renaicance Bundle from Waves i dont have
and looks like im not going to get it either with the price of those things.

I understand that. Universal Audio has that nice UAD-Card for their plugins, maybe that's something you can get on ebay for a fair price. The UAD-1 will perfectly satisfy your needs and wont be more than $250, I'm pretty sure of that.

Example

The Pultec EQ is killer on guitars and drums and so is the LA2A.

Well i got myself a copy of the mercury bundle ... the one that costs $11120 thats really insane.
But lets just say that i didn't pay that much for it
And wow ... there is an insane amount of plugins in that thing and they are really top quality.
And im going to recommend this to everyone.

With over 100 state-of-the-art processors and over 250 component plug-ins,
Waves Mercury offers more effects, more channel components,
and more mixdown tools in one place than ever before.

Really a must have tool for every musician.
But maybe not the mercury bundle for everyone cause maybe
not everyone needs that much stuff but still ... its awsome.

Thanks for the heads up Pete

[Pete-Rock]

no prob. maybe you still watch ebay for a good shot on the UAD-1 card, it is really amazing!!!
