There is another mix of this tune . " lend me your ears one more time " It has a bunch of corrections that were suggested . Check it out if you like . I really appreciate all the comments I have received on this tune . Sent me in the right direction

Hey thanks . Its actually a song from a mixing contest . I usually work with superior drummer . Have way more control with that . I really don't know who the artist is . lol . Part of the rub on this project is that I cannot use ANY of my favorite plugs (nothing outside of native Reaper plugins...

Yeah it was kind of a first run with some of the suggestions I got . Sent me in the right direction . But it still needs some tweaking . Yeah and that damn cymbal on the right side . lol I have tried a few different things . Trouble is that when you take things away it messes with the toms ...

Thanks , I still have some time to work on it .Have to go in in tweak the edits a bit more . I did change the compressor settings on the vox like you suggested .I've been working with superior drummer for quite a while . Never mixed drums like this , I'm used to a lot more individual control for...

Hey there I appreciate the previous comments . Definitely helped . Thanks :)

Thanks . These are tracks from a mixing contest . There are no alternatives . I have been struggling with the vocals mostly . Have tried to do some volume automation . Helps a little . I agree it suffers / lol . Due to the rules of the contest I cannot use any non native plugins . Sucks because...

Good tune . I think because there is no bass .I would mix a bit more low end into the guitar . Vocal track sounds good . Maybe a little dry for my taste .

Only thing I would say is that in some places the kick is a little too intrusive . Just because it's more of an easy listening tune . Maybe just back the snare off just a smidge . And just one little nit pick . There are some little guitar solo notes I would bring out a bit more . Sounds great :)

The only thing I could say is that the bass sounds good in the mix . could be a little louder / But in the solo lines it sounds kinda hollow .

Guess I will try to post again when I finish ..

Great track . The only thing that sticks out is the phaser on the guitar solo . I would back off the feedback just a bit . or low pass it just cut some of the sizzle off it . Oh and MORE COWBELL !! lol just seems like it needs to be a little more present . Good stuff great job !!

The delay on the guitar should be tied more into the beat . I you tap in the delay you can get it pretty close , or if it is a pedal I would retrack without delay and put in a digital one so you can automate . I would also turn down the feedback on the delay as well . Maybe bring it back up in...

Right at the beginning the end of the second lead , the last note seems to be bent to a quarter tone . It doesn't resolve well . I like the tone of the guitar . The drums seems to be hiding a bit . They lack punch . The drums need to be louder . I'm not a huge fan of the trumpet synth . I think...

Vocals remind me of steeley dan . I like the levels of everything .However I think the vocals should be a little higher . Good stuff !

Hey man thanks :) My old bass player jams with the denner /sherman group . ( merciful fate ) The just released an album " satans tomb " Crazy stuff man . In our band Corruption he was bass player singer . He does a pretty good " Tom " lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2Zjz1fjCv0
