That sort of thing is fine unless they set themselves to launch at startup and expect to have something present in your control header at all times. :P It's like, gimme my cycles back I don't need to keep track of Izotope updates right now

Re: I won't pay delivery fees cuz (My Baby Joined An E-Bike Gang reviews)

VOM VORTON I like that heavy distorted bass. Kind of makes me want a heavier snare. And maybe a unison distorted guitar for some more freqs on top so there's a lot of impact. So weird to have whispering on top of the loudness. I love the attitude of the last few lines, where the performance gets rea...

Re: I'm having a yard sale (Everything Must Go reviews)

I mean, to be able to get 19 ppl to actually do something is an achievement.

I think we need to call Jim the Mr. Beast of Song Fight! From now on.

Courage Is For Cowards reviews

Berkeley Social Scene : Old school panning. Need some definition in the lead vocal EQ. I think this is super catchy. I dig the pre-chorus. This needs to be the theme song for a CW show. Reminds me of a toned-down Bad Religion. That guitar solo feels like Tom Petty. Maybe 30 seconds too long. So man...

Re: Don't be so mean... (Digital Pet reviews)

Johnny Cashpoint: The mix was preventing me from getting into this at all. Way too boomy. I remixed it and was able to hear all of the bits and pieces that are in this production, and I like it. Lots to hear, and it is raucous, kind of in the best way of a Wreckdom song. Here is the remaster in cas...

Short Reviews: BSS: Pretty dang epic. Maybe too long. Kinda wish it ended with a world shattering mass chorus. The JBB: Happy with it. Recorded it 4 steps up then tuned it down to get the baritone vocal sound. Slowed it down and recorded the MIDI solo then sped it all up again for that section. John...

You’re in three, BSS was in three, did I miss a memo?
I thought I was in 6 but then I'm not too hot on signatures
I just hear something swingy and call it three, so I have no doubt you are correct.

Re: Let's look forward to (The Last Good Year reviews)

Dirge Nicely recorded acoustic guitar. I think the vocal EQ needs to be adjusted to allow them to sit better, as they lack definition and have some sibilance and get lost. Drums are nice, kick has impact. Is the melody too low for you? Seems like it could go up a half step and be easier for you to ...

Re: Online collaboration technologies

Logic does have a feature where you can add some time BEFORE the 1 of your song, and you can on occasion accidentally make that happen and I think that will f-up your stems accordingly because the space before the 1 is to accommodate like, a pickup note or somesuch. I've had to drag that timeline th...
