It sounds a bit like a tilted eq. I hear lots of energy around 4K (vocals) and around 10K (cymbals) and too little in the low end and low mids. It seems like only the kick is filling the low end. In most mixes you need to cut some between 150 and 250 (230Hz usually), but in this one you can...

I'd tone down the microshift/widener effect on the vocals a tiny bit, to make it sound more intimate and 'you' (which suits the nostalgic nature of the song). To me an effect like this should be inaudible until you turn it off. It's a good vocal delivery, and you don't need it. I know you love...

Yes, they were in the original version above as well.

Personally I would fade out during the last chorus and skip the outro entirely. The song is long enough, and it's a more solid statement without the vague, slightly opaque sonic structure of the outro. The fact that you hear me struggle on the guitar to find a rhythmic and harmonic achor is an...

To be honest: I don't think my noodling at the end adds much (it was never intended as an actual part, just figuring out the chords with the record button switched on)

My advice is: don't pay too much attention to it. Some of my favorite mixes/masters are quite loud (ie between 9 en 12), and there's a very wide range between this and Metallica's Death Magnetic (Dynamic Range of 3 :LOL:). My mastering guy does it by ear, and all of his 'first takes' seems to...

There are no phase issues whatsoever. If it's double tracked, the waveforms are entirely different and there can't be any issues with phase. Even with the same guitar, same distortion pedal and same amp (sim), but played twice. In fact: you can take the same DI guitar track, run it through two...

Yeah it's better. Mixwise, the bass is a bit too loud/seperated from the rest for my taste. It also feels a bit tilted to the high end.

Syncing isn't right, Kev. DM-d you.

That is interesting anyhow.

Just joining the discussion because I have very strong opinions about generative AI, and they get stronger every day. I'm not against using technology at all by the way. My drummer uses Superior Drummer 3 and aa electronic kit because his chemo brain doesn't allow him to play on a normal kit...

Just popping by to confirm this. I'm not a Pink Floyd fan (Gilmour is the only one I enjoy in the band) but it felt like the right thing to do. So played Gilmour solos for a couple of hours during work and recorded the solo. Not intended as mimicing or a homage, but just getting inspired by his...

Hiiiiiiiiiii, it's me. :-) Thanks guys! Indeed, the horns are Fiverr hires. They play my transcription note by note (except for the sax solo in the middle, Dima did that all by his own). By the way, drummer Geert-Jan is also in Through The Branches, my prog band with Tom Gagne which might be a...

Just wanted to thank everyone for their kind words! :giggle: I have no idea why I felt a tendency to go gospel, but taking it to church seemed like a good idea the second time. I've been playing a lot of Aretha Franklin lately.

Wait, you're Emeric right? :oops:
