Did a cover of a Luke Combs song for a friend. Changed the lyrical theme a tiny bit, from a father and a son to about a mother and a daughter. This is only the second rough mix, was definitely super fun to record. I think it's pretty close, love to see what you guys think. Thanks! Dropbox -...

Believe it or not, I tracked the rhythm acoustics with a good ol' SM58, pointed near where the neck meets the body, like 6 inches away, a Taylor 816ce. I recorded the song over a year and a half ago, before I got my nice condenser. Didn't do vocals until recently. The acoustics then went through...

Oh I know, the very, very end was what I was referring to. I thought it was actually kind of neat that I could barely make out the click coming in. I was on phones, too, which made it a little easier to hear, I imagine. Again, I thought it was kind of cool though.

Still using Superior 2.0, never upgraded to 3. I like to think I'm getting a little better at molding them to what I want them to sound like, but who knows. Just used the default kit. This tune I didn't want to have overpowering "rock" drums, and for some reason thought the piccolo snare fit it...

I heard it too, almost thought it was actually kinda cool though. Was it from when you were tracking the acoustics?

Awesome dude, I got nothing, really. Acoustic solo could maybe be a db or two louder, maybe. I don't know, sounds absolutely fantastic. Awesome job on the vocals as always, but great job on the bass too. Everything sounds great, listened twice and still can't find anything I'd change.

New tune. Wrote and recorded the music over a year ago, finally did the vocals last week. First mix, hopefully I'm in the ballpark. Thanks! Dropbox - FallinMix1Demo.wav - Simplify your life

Sounds good, seems like the vocal is fighting for some space. Mix is definitely slightly mid-range heavy to my ears. Seems like those keys and synths need some 1-3k dipped out, the vocal would punch through better. The hats (tambs?) and percussion stuff on the far edges could come down a tad...

Sounds great, dude. Love the crispness of the vocal, the subtle delays are fantastic. Might be able to get away with a little more highs on the acoustic, just a tad more sizzle, since it's the only instrument- I think you could. Seems a little dark, fits, but a little more air on it I would...

Sounds a little dry, not bad though. A little more reverb here and there might be good. Maybe a touch more on the snare and vocal, taste thing though, depends what you're going for. Keys that come in just after the 1 minute mark (again just after the 3 minute mark) seemed a little loud, I'd...

New mix here and in the OP if anyone wants to check it out. Very subtle adjustments. Dropbox - LightspeedMix8Demo.wav - Simplify your life

Hey Stevie! Thanks for the comments! Recorded and mixed it right here at my home studio. Guitar tones were varied - Stereo rhythm guitars were direct with my Digitech GNX3000, with two different tones. Leads were all the 3000 again but through my 98 Fender Twin mic'd with a 57 (I believe I had a...

Excellent advice La9, I do have most of the kit a tiny bit lower in the verses, but probably not enough to be noticeable. I'll soften them up a tad more. Thanks so much for the listen!!!

Hey all, been absent from here for a while, hope everyone's doing well. Latest track, "Lightspeed" (Country pop-rock, I think) I think the mix is close. Going to be doing a video for it soon, and want to make sure the mix is in the right ballpark. If anything jumps out at anyone, good or...

Yea awesome job, dude, I got nothin'. :thumbs up: Vocals sound fantastic, instrumentation, all of it.
