Awesome and thanks for that experimentation! I LOVE when solutions are suggested. I'll have to check my eq settings on it as well to see if I tried to trim mud out in that region. Thanks guy!!!

I will revisit and listen for that. Thanks for the mention!

As often happens, when this old dog learns new tricks, he goes back and remixes everything with the new knowledge. I have been recently exploring various setting on Ozone 11 and some of my output of late has been, to my ears, some of the best detail I've been able to achieve EVER. Oddly, it is...

On this one, I think I need to revisit the levels. I'm in full agreement with your assessment. I want it to sound less "pressed" and more natural, w/ clarity. It's still a little "shouty".

I really should listen more in mono - but I never do. Thanks for the double check!

When played solo - which is how I originally wrote it - that's how it happens, the end of one starts the next. When I went to full production on it, though, I wanted each to have its own arrangement. This necessitated texture blending - but therein lies the trick: making it flow from one...

My major sticky point in the first transition is whether the starting guitar tone is too different from the opening - as they were recorded differently at different times. Nice to see that you didn't find it a glaring change. The second transition is to a 12 string guitar - again a texture...

This is a trilogy piece - which I wrote in one sitting. I recorded each part separately, and then placed each next to the other in a long string. Each is done on its own and then put in place. Do the seams show too clearly between the segments? Anything else strike you? Thanks in advance for...

Thanks for the input! I will attend.

For those who liked "Brown Haired Ordinary Looking Girl" (posted earlier), this is the same assembly of musicians working together. Some of these guys I've worked with since my teens - back in my college band. It's kind of wicked different what is available to us now that didn't exist in the...

Ha - I just finished a piece where I inserted a political speech by Jennifer Lawrence regarding the corruption of U.S. electoral process via a need for huge dollars. I agree the vocal needs to come up a nudge. Doc Saul (if you remember him from HRP) introduced me to Professor Wolff. He's a...

FWIW - I employ this technique frequently. It's a good suggestion.

This is correct.

I'll have to find it first. :D Chris sent a mish mosh of 8 or so tracks of percussion. Everything from the steam sounds to garbled birds making dying noises. I don't have control specifically over that sound. I can take whatever track it is on down a bit, though. I'll check out which is was. It...

I don't know if Chris Hargrove (handle: Mixmaster) comes and visits here anymore - but back in the day, he and I wandered off this weird side alley of working on this oddball piece together. I started it w/ just the piano and Chris took that file and ran with it. He added the percussion/drums -...

That's it, Jeff. Wince factor is gone. Nice adjustment. It is a comfortable listen now. Bring the vocals slightly forward and get them in the pocket and call it a day. You might be able to layer the EQ to poke it through more. It's not a big tweak - but remember that in modern recordings, the...

So we've gone from asking if it sounds real - because now it is real - to does it sound good? :D If you notice the song title, I record the date AND the limiter setting I used. I save multiple mixes w/ different settings and I will go back and forth for quick listens to determine which sounds...

Oh - you're right. It doesn't sound overly phased. That's because it's not. Your ears are not deceiving you by not hearing it. It's not drowning in phase issues. I said that's the result of two wide sources that are too much alike (with the difference YOU correctly noted). That said, there IS...

I second Dave's notion. I have a suggestion as well. Pull back on the beater (kick). It's clouding the mids in competition - which is unnecessary. Listen to where you hear it, but it loses its prominence. The vocals will become much more defined because there won't be a 3k-ish interruption...

That's an appealing start. Generally close on everything - but tipped into midrange bloom land where the wince needle is detecting some overly compressed tracking. Stereo field is well balanced and there's interesting movement to the work - but I'd try to back off wherever the compression is...
