Done w/ MixMaster and me ...

I'm going to break w/ sentiment here. The reverb makes you sound like you're singing down a long narrow hall. It is wholly distracting and frankly kind of overly boxy. I'd go w/ a much closer, drier and more intimate approach for the style of this piece. Performance sounds "live" and that's...

Kind of sounds like it would make a great backdrop in a show where the detective is pensively trying to solve the riddle of the case. No nits on the mix.

You hit both the groove and the vibe really well on this. I have zero mix nits. It's right in the pocket.

There's a couple spots where you go into your upper register where your vox drop under the bed a tad too far. Your foundation is at the right level, but it wouldn't hurt to bring some of your funky ear candy forward slightly in the mix - kind up pop it when you want to kick the energy up a bit...

It was the extra long outro that first prompted me to fill it with Jen Lawrence's speech. I had to do something to add interest ... as much as the guys loved playing the groove. :D New mix up top.

Caution: It's about people :D This is one of the last projects my group put together. Also, Ronald Reagan does a cameo out of "Bedtime for Bonzo". Any/all comments warmly welcomed!

Nice live rendition, Rob!

When I started "Who We Are" in 2015, after so many years of project studio work via online contributions, I decided to make the project about bringing in local musicians in kind of a Steely Dan studio fashion. We had a core four that underpinned the basic structure of the unit, but we freely...

On this one, SV - and I can't believe it's me saying this, but your vocal(s) are a bit too prominent. The bed can come up a bit. I DID like the structure and composition, but the levels of the vox kind of drowned out the nice stuff you had going on in the background in slight masking fashion.

Yeah - his chording structure inspired "Dangling" - which coincidently was the first song I ever wrote for my eventual wife. She was merely a dalliance at the time. Fortunately, 43 years later, it all worked out well. You hit the nail on the head ... as I'd JUST remixed the snare forward in the...

Everything is basically there, LL. Just listen closer and make it more natural. There's too much compressor sheen. What's weird is that folks don't really understand that there's a "sound" to a compressor. Sure ... a delay has an easy to hear sound. Phase? Got it! All the tools are really...

Yep - stick a fork in it. Everything is now in its proper setting.

This is a great example of how limiting can be done while keeping things glued together and still natural sounding (versus "flattened") - creating space where things pop in 3D space. You happened to get the vocals perfect right out of the gate on this one. I'd probably have moved the hi hat...

Right off the bat - and I tend to mix loud myself - I went immediately for the volume control on the phones. The sheen of limiting runs strong in this one. :D Levels are tough to discern because the limiting has mashed everything tightly together in sonic collage - kind of like everything is...

Definitely. From the moment it started, I caught the concept of the soundtrack, and could imagine it against a Nature documentary. Well put together, Rob. It moved along nicely in its transitions.

As I promised - because I'm mixing at warp speed these days, and wish to not clutter the board w/ track after track ... this is a collection of piano based pieces for your leisurely perusal. The common thread between all of them is they are essentially singer/songwriter piano ballads. Yes, they...

At 1:22-ish when the vox return (after the musical passage), the vox (likely due to layering) pop out a hair too far. It catches the ear as out of place. Rest is well balanced and in its correct place.

So bud ... multiple artists across all time, including luminaries like "John Lennon", have hated the sound of their own voice. This has led to numerous masking techniques ... and in John's case, doubling and phasing to "phatten" what he regarded as his overly thin voice. In your case, you've...

A song about being sentimental over growing up in a city during fall ...
