    Dark Spanish Night -Remix 3-

    Hello , I've done some further tweeking and got some of the mud out of the guitars. @TripleM , I think the intro guitar(s) sound a little better now. @dobro , I've adjusted the bass some and completely droped it out when the vox starts. Good suggestion and it worked out Well. Thanx...

    Dark Spanish Night -Remix 3-

    @Odi and @dobro Thanx , both are Great suggestions. I'm not satisfied with the vox either and seems something is missing. Didn't have the impact in this mp3 version that it has in my room. I had already planned on trying another higher harmony and panning this morning. I'll edit the title as...

    Dark Spanish Night -Remix 3-

    I've done a remix now reflected in the link. I balanced the L/R channels a litttle better , added a few guitar parts and a short vocal section near the end. I tried cutting it down a little but it didn't work out. I'll probably tweek the vox a little but it's basically what I had in mind while...

    My Gun

    Cool ! Very Nice mix. The rerverbs and delay sounded Great , but It was really the Power of the guitar and the L/R signal that got my attention. Thick and wide without hearing a cheezy delay you sometimes get by just sliding one copy a little behind the other. The drums were also awesome ...

    Dark Spanish Night -Remix 3-

    Thanks Guy's for weighing in. I'm slowly doing some editing and minor tweeks , I've been pretty busy with other projects for a few days. @HumanPlanet , I like the castenet suggestion but having a hard time finding a decent sound. I've been banging on everything I can find. @Eric Malone , I'm...

    Dark Spanish Night -Remix 3-

    Thanx @Odi . Normally I would use a free plate reverb for a dark one like this , but .. I recently got Fab Filter ProR. With the exception of a legacy Cakewalk "tempo delay" plugin , ProR is on everything. The panning delay FX seemed to enhance all the reverbs. It's on several tracks including...

    Dark Spanish Night -Remix 3-

    Here's a new instrumental I'm trying to finish up. It's a pretty simple and mooody one , almost ambiant. I'm using a LaPatrie Hybred nylon guitar and cello. I think a short vocal part will be added later . Any comments or suggestions for improvement would be great. Thanks for the listen...

    Late Night

    Very Nice mix ! I especially liked the drums in this one and the cool guitar. I like the way you put more of an intro in than you normally do (before bringing the vocals in). Enjoyed it .. mark

    Breathe

    Cool ! You went the exactly the opposite way from what I was thinking. She took the lead and You followered Her instead of the other way around. The tedious editing worked out nicely. When you get bored.. try swapping them around. I like your voice .. ms

    Breathe

    I really didn't think you were out of tune. I thought some of her phrases could be adjusted so that she didn't shadow you exactly on every note. Such as singing the phrases on a single pitch instead of climbing up and down with you. More of a harmony type thing . ms

    Breathe

    Cool , I liked the dark feel of the song. It sounds like the synth worked well and followed you nicely. ? If I was mixing this song .. I would have her come in and out some (instead of on every phrase). Your voice alone would have more impact on a lot of it. I think I would probably use her on...

    Nothing

    Odi , I enjoyed the song and appreciate the tedious work envolved to get it to this point. I honestly don't think it's any different than using and manipulating pre recorded vocal phrases . I also understand the comments about the AI , and we all know it's going to grow at an astounding pace...

    Raise a Glass

    Nicely written. I "think" this would would be a contendor for dropping your low E string to a D. I would for sure re-record this one (which may be your intention anyway). Very Nice job on the vox. I think a short (minor) break at 2:22 would be nice and breaking it up a little. A cello would fit...

    Year Of The Locust - cover of Nancy Blake tune

    Irwin , Very well written and produced ! I think the ending got cut off a little though. I really liked the melody and none of it lost any energy. Nice one. Enjoyed it .. mark

    Mix advice on new song demo please

    I thought this was a Nice and Very creative production. Didn't think it was too long.. It kind of reminded me of setting the needle on an LP with long jam songs. Production wise I think .. The 1 st minute needs a little volume automation bringing it up a little. The vocals in that section...

    Fall Apart

    Very Cool song, I absolutely Loved the horn break ! What did you use for the trombone ? The e-piano was very nice as well and I really like that style of Latin rythm and percussion. I did like your horn break a lot better than on the Dolby song. Well done .. Enjoyed it .. mark

    Lee Shore CSN cover (Final mix/master))

    Thanks @Serendipity Records , @TripleM , and @Papanate for the listen and further comments. The link now reflects a final mix/master. I sent the instrument mix and a seperate soloed vocals track to Gary Brun , a friend and fellow Cakewalker in Norway. He made several EQ and balance changes and...
