That's like me down in the 200 hz range, but kind of the opposite. I had tubes in my eardrums to drain them as a kid, and there's a hole in my hearing in that range resultant. So I tend to overdo the low end to compensate - which I also realize, so I over compensate in the other direction. :D...

Agreed. Although I missed it a mix time - and I've not yet circled back to correct, I believe what folks are getting at is the vocal sounds a bit layered on top of the song, rather than embedded in the song - and I think that's my preference for rather dry vocals coming into play. In other...

Big time seventies era writing. Good thoughts - particularly regarding introduction of the bgvs earlier. @Trojka added a bunch of similar earlier embellishments to a recent piece ... where I'd left it stripped - and it was exactly the right call. I lean towards a "less is more" bent in my...

This is a bit of my Billy Joel/Elton John/Hall and Oates era influences poking through. I'm a piano player since before my own memory. Again - just anything that strikes you as "off" is what I'm seeking. I know I'm down to "sore thumb tom hits" level of detail - but all comments about something...

This was a decision I questioned myself, bud. Good catch and thanks for the input. I dried up the vocal significantly because I wanted more sonic edges to it. I'll go back w/ your perspective in mind and fool with it a little more. Reverb adds depth of stage - and I made it very dry and up front.

I THINK I've got it pretty well dialed in. Anything poke out at you? Thanks folks!

I do admit that I constantly need to fight the urge to make the drums massive - particularly the toms - and keep everything in perspective to the song. :D

Just getting around to post up the video versions of the latest mixes to YouTube. Enjoy!

I'm not a hoarder, though. I tend to delete what I've replaced shortly after deciding to keep the prevailing copy of it.

I enter the name first, then the mix date, and often a code for the settings that I created for quick reference.

Thanks P! This is me, btw ...

I did remix a final (hopefully) version this morning and blended it w/ the video. I'm posting here so helpful contributors can enjoy the fruits of their suggestions in video format. Thanks (warmly) to all - and Tjarko - incredible next level input from you especially.

If folks wanted to see the guys who put these arrangement together ... this is a video collated from our creative sessions where we worked on the arrangement.

I'm weird about bass. First thing is I've a 200 hz hole in my hearing - the result of having to have drain tubes poked in them in my youth. So I'm sensitive to overdoing it - and because of that - I'm prone to underdoing it. I like the bass to be heard, but not dominating. In older recordings...

Same single question on the second song above as the first. Too much or right amount?
