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...

@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...

Hello , here is another dropped "d" funk instrumental. This is pretty much a test project using the new "free tier" Sonar by Cakewalk. No surprizes and everything worked as it should. Still .. any crits or suggestions are welcomed. Thanks .. mark https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=15048216

Pro Studio monitors can often last for decades , and there are quite a few people who upgrade . You can often find some Really nice used ones on sites like Craigslist in that price range. ms

Cakewalk just released a Free version of Sonar. Fully supported and will replace "Cakewalk by Bandlab" in the near future. Can be found at the Cakewalk Product Center. No monthly or yearly subscription to Bandlab needed. ms

Ok, the link now reflects another remix. Thanks @dobro , I like it when you get me looking deeper into a mix. It's nice to have other ears on a project. Thanks @Big Thier for the lead guitar fix. 😁 It's like when I revisit a project that has been finished for a few months , I hear it differently...

@dobro , I'll look at that section again , and yes it would be pretty easy to automate the EQ in any given section. ms

The link now reflects a remix . There were quite a few timing issues with the bass . Track volumes are balanced a little bettter now. When I started this one my project got corrupted by 4 instances of "Space Blender" reverb plugin. Severe glitching and tracks recording out of time. CPU usage...

@subvibe , Thank You. If I can impress "You" on a mix I feel I have acomplished something. 😁 @Big Thier , You've gotten me lookig at a few changes that would help. Lead guitar is down 2db now , and it's smoother. I'll edit the post when I've got things locked in a little better. Thanks for...

Hello , here's a pretty short instrumental I'm finalizing. I used my G&L asat and brought in my homemade lap steel on the 2nd half of the song. Anything sticking out that needs attention please let me know. Thanks .. mark https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=15028581

Jeff , I thought this was Amazing ! , Especially for an early mix/master. Big "Blade Runner" fan and have used the line "Tears in the Rain" myself. I'm sure there are lots of changes to come later... What hit me first was the Synth intro was maybe a little to hot and forward in the mix . I...

@Papanatemate , Yes , I agree. I made some "slight" changes on the cellos. I Really liked the SpaceBlender reverb and overdid it a little. It's still Very wet. @BTStudio , @HumanPlanet , @TalismanRich . Thanks guys for the listen and Great comments. I really appreciate you support. @dobro ...

Better hurry for a free copy. (Put it on the back burner). $99.00 US after the May 22nd .

Thanks @BTStudio , I agree about the backing vox . I left it in only in a few select spots. @HumanPlanet , Good call. Thanks for taking the time to post an example. I played around with the shaker and ryhthm egg for awhile . They both just didn't sit well in the mix. I deleted both of them and...

Hello , I ran into this song on Social Media and couldn't get it out of my head . I thought I may as well try and cover it and see what happens. It's still a little rough around the edges and needs some further close up editing but , I'm pretty happy with the main structure. I used...
