Nothing to Say (remix)

You make this stuff sound easy. I think it is, for you. Super-quick rattling drum fill just before 2.00 - might be more effective to go the opposite way and be super-simple. Just one hit, or maybe two. Whatcha think?
 
I got to listen to it a few more times - initial thoughts are the recording is well done - interesting stereo spread on the parts - really makes everything pop - only thing I can say is the playing is a little loose - is that the style you were going for?
 
@dobro , I agree about the drum part. I adjusted it , sounds and flows a lot better. Thanks for the suggestion. I made some slight adjustments to a couple of the same feeling parts earlier in the song as well. I also backed the reverb off a little on the lead guitar. The link now reflects the changes.
@Papanate , Thanks for the listen and response.

Nope , I play as tight as I can , and what comes out comes out .. ms
 
It's not loose, it's fluid. I agree about the good separation in the mix, though. Do you mix in mono and then hit the stereo button near the end?

Hey Dobro , I probably should .. but I only check in mono towards the end of a project. The panning in this one was a bit unusual for me. Nothing is static except for the bass and drums. I got the basic seperation then spent a good bit of time with automation on the panning on individual tracks. Headphones help to actually hear the movement. Lead guitar was sent thru "Pancake 2" . A cool "free" vst that gives movement to the panning depending on the fully adjustable preset you choose. I always use "slow walker". It's a constant back and forth L/R and back movement that is tied to the bpm. It makes some choices that you normally wouldn't think to make and it surprises you with the effect.
