I remember the original. I kind of like this as much, if not more. No nits from me. Well done.

Sometimes you need to go less light on the limiter. That was the issue. Not enough glue.

I'll inform Ed. I talk w/ him near daily. :D This is a bit pedal to the metal - aggressively mixed - which is appropriate for the genre.

I think I MAY have gotten this Prog Pop piece dialed into a balance. It's complex and kind of a bunch of different things all pasted together in oddball manner. Any thoughts, as usual, warmly appreciated.

I did go back and revise the levels based on Keith's input, Kiernan. I THINK I have everything in the pocket correctly. The funny thing about this is that we recorded it and then we completely changed the opening to the jam. It used to just start at the vocal. All of the opening is copy and...

All good thoughts, Keith! Everyone who works largely by themselves needs to hear different takes on what they're hearing. That's the beauty of online help. I was listening to some of the recent Beatle mixes off Revolver. I mean, who can better afford the best sound than the Beatles empire? They...

^^ This.

For anyone who enjoys the blues vibe - as I've said before - I'm screaming quickly through the mixing ... and I finished up the jazz/blues album closer this morning. I don't want to start another thread, but if you'd like a listen to the last two bluesy track ... this follows the above selection...

Thanks Jeff! I wish I could confess it was a struggle, but since tempo and timing were note perfect, all I had to do was make it align right and it fit.

I'm going to chat a little about procedural setups, because once you really dive deep into mixing, a lot of what you do to get results winds up being habit - how you approach your mixes. These days, I work from the end to the start. I address the two bus first. Most folks want to hear the end...

Nope. Total happy accident. I'd originally expected we'd just work on the project until it was completed. I hadn't even thought about the original lead he'd sent me until I woke up that morning and remembered it out of the blue. I knew I'd lost the original project to the ethers. All the 2016...

This Friday night rocker comes w/ a weird story. I formed a band to go out live and play in 2016. We started as all original, but soon discovered getting gigs was easier when covers were added. As we learned the material, in 2016, we'd record the pieces for critique and memory. The end lead...

The drums are the ONE thing I cannot mix, K ... as Chris sent them in stereo audio files. I have SOME flex, as he sent about 8 tracks for different parts, but each is what it is. :D

Drums are WAY too forward ... guitars are too in back. Vocals are setting about right. Is there a bass playing? :D

Again ... full bore limiting - which - though appropriate for this genre, isn't done in such a way as to allow for depth of sound. Everything comes off a bit 2 dimensional. Limiting properly is a true art form, but it has to have depth in the first place. My guess is the individual tracks are...

Recording/mixing: You're on the right track. Arrangement: Arpeggiators can be distracting when over used ... because they play a lot of busy notes which detracts from the groove. As you get into the latter part of the arrangement when they go away, the groove is 1000x more in the pocket. I'd...

WAAAAY over compressed. The drums sound like cardboard slaps, the guitars drone nasally on top of everything, and it sounds like the sonic stage is two feet deep. Walk away from the limiter.

I've listened to stuff by you, K, that literally has popped the headphones off my head from the bass response. That is not this. There's no low end to it.

You have your vocal processed perfectly. I might fader up some of the bed where the vocal pauses. You've got some interesting passages there that could be a little more featured.

The limiting is a bit on the heavy side, which prevents the piece from "breathing". Limiting is useful for gluing a mix together, but when the piece sounds like one long sonic scream at you, then it becomes a bit on the fatiguing side. I think that's what sounds most "off" here. It's a bit of a...
