A little bit of story - these are mostly my band’s old tunes that were never recorded. I decided to do it to free my mind for some new stuff and also to practice a little as I never recorded anything before last year. As my bandmates are in Ukraine and not really in a mood or time to participate, I was doing all by myself. Right now I am doing mixing and mastering, and as this is my first try, will be grateful for some quick advice if any) I am doing everything in Garagband and recording quitars and bass form Quilter Superblock US and pedals with no digital plug-ins. Drummer is sure a Garage band drummer.

Great sounding recordings! Much better than the first home recordings I did. Keep up the excellent work.

Nice variety. I don't know why everyone gets better guitar tones on their recordings. I work and work on micing, and it never captures the sound of my amp!

Good job! Looking forward to final product.

I am also not happy with micing results. All the guitars are recorded with Quilter line out and internal speaker sim.

Yep, I have two amps with simulated out, Quilter Superblock US and tube Palmer Eins and get nice results.

Some demo versions of them, yes. I will probably delete them but the finished versions will be pretty much different.

I like the songs, especially numbers 2-4! How many songs will there be in total?

The only problems for me are the drums and the bass sound in the third snippet (a little too much treble). Other than that, you're good to go, I think!

Have you considered asking another drummer to record some basic stuff? I know that there are two or three drummers on here, who participate in collaborations for the annual compilation. Maybe one of them would like to try their luck with these songs?

Thanks for notion, that’s the drum and bass parts I am re-working now.
There will be 5 tunes, 4 original and one cover.
I was thinking about inviting some drummer and bass guitar player, but decided to do this one by myself all the way from composing to mastering. I think it will help me to better understand drummers or for example mastering engineers in my further records. Surely I am open for collaborations later! But this one is deliberately one man show to explore my boundaries)
