Nice tuneage. Pixie's a monster. I think overlapping frequencies are disappearing things a bit, especially when the 2.03 solo starts.

Listened on the big speakers. Vocal @ 1.18 and onward needs to be more distinct, upfront, separate, I think. It's getting lost a bit.

A year ago, I switched softwares and recording approach and camera and more. I haven't put anything out for over a year because I'm slow to get on top of new tech. It's a pain in the hole. Take your time.

Why? It sounds really close to done. If you tweak the vocal, tweak it down a dB. Understandable, yes. No. It's great. They're fine. Yup. I'm listening on an effing ipad, and the bass is fine. Look, I understand that you're obsessing over the mix - that's your job, and that happens...

Best I've heard out of your stable in a while. Good work, Mark Skinner.

Liked the stuff that a de-esser would get rid of. Really interesting. Good work. I'd've still cut back on it a bit, especially on her vocal. This is a mixing forum too, right? Good song. Really nice.

Mix feedback: sounds good.

Maybe trust that 'not getting more' thing. When that happens to me, sometimes I just repeat what I got until I get tired of repeating it. A lot of music does that - find a good thing and roll with it for a while. That whole intro-verses-chorus-bridge thing is so prescriptive.

Way better reverb setting than the first one.

Nice one, Mark - I like this as much as the original. Sounds good through the KRKs. Through the iPad (I know, I know), the bass sort of disappears and the hihats are sizzly overpresent. So I got curious and played it through my tracking cans (bass heavy) and my mixing cans (best sound overall)...

Sometimes I think it's just a matter of making the vocal louder during its quietest moments.

I liked it. What I'd really like is to hear it get played in the mall or supermarket in the middle of all the usual Christmas tune drivel.

Yeah, this. I wanted to hear the vocal more clearly all the way through actually. Good cover. (I clicked on the link without realizing this is a Floyd song. I heard the first few lyrics and thought 'Whoa! Awesome - who is this guy?' lol)

Good romp. BVs are a bit dark maybe. The way they are now, they contrast with the brighter main vocal, but if they were just as bright as the main vocal, would the lack of contrast be a bad thing? Thinking out loud.

The drums are busy for a tune like this, so what would they sound like if the whole kit was just a bit quieter - clicking underneath sort of instead of really popping the way they are now?

Exactly. That's why I didn't comment on the mix - I wasn't sure what you were trying to achieve - kinda lofi or something more standard. So... anyway... what were you trying to achieve with the mix?

Yeah, I'm not going to comment on the mix either, but I like the songs too. It's as if you were raised on Velvet Underground and then decided to form at band at some point.

Cool, sweet, well done. Enjoyed it.

Bach on mandos in space. Nice.

Anytime you wanna have a VI contest, I'm more than happy to play 'I'm Dumber Than You'. Place your bets.
