Re-member
Here we go again. Vocals are not perfect, but my voice gave out. Let me know about mix problems you can hear. I think my ears have burned out for the day.
I actually used a pick on the electric instead of fingernails. (hopefully my first attempt at a pick slide isn't a total embarrassment).
Tough to get piano, organ, strings, two guitars, acoustic, strings and bass to play well together, so there are probably a few things...
Unmastered
Mastered
New Mix Mastered
And now for something completely different. I decide to cover the Monty Python theme instea....no, wait.
I decided to kick things back a bit. I took the shifter off my voice until the bridge for a more raw and intimate vocal, pulled the guitars out of the first verse and chorus to let things build just a bit better, brightened things up just a bit, redid a bit more vocal, and went back to the 430i. Still trying to get this bit in my head, but it seems when you flip the mastering toggle (maybe the problem is that it's really that simple) before the mix is where it should be, hard limiting can really RUIN a mix. Anyway, I hooked up all three of the limiters that I'd used on this tune and bypassed two at a time and the 430i Tube limiter was the hands down winner. After all the clean up and mud shoveling I did, it came in and shone bright!
