I'm calling this one done after uploading this final mix. I Really appreciate everyone's help! If I make any further changes I'll just edit the OP and wont bump it back up. moving on .. mark
@Serendipity Records , Thanks for the drums suggestion. I'll probably play with them a little more later. @dachay2tnr , I'm not hearing excessive reverb on the Vox tracks even with them soloed. I think a lot of the verb was coming from the close to centered tremolo guitar track. Great call on...
The link now reflects Remix 1. I tamed the drums a little using 1/8 instead of 1/16 patterns (except for the outro) and lowered them a bit. Added a shaker (needs further work) and reduced the reverb on the electric guitar and Vox tracks. Thanks for the suggestions so far .. Still a work in...
@JAPOV , Thanks for the listen and the suggestions. I have pretty minimal reverb settings on the Vox tracks. I think the frequency's where they live got boosted in the mastering phase. I also felt a few phrases needed shorter tails. Easy fix as well as the main Vox EQ. Done . I'll have to...
Hello , here's a singer songwriter type of country ballad I co wrote with my former bass player. This the final mix on this very simple song. Thank you all for helping me get this to completion ! I'm calling it done .. mark

Yowie , It took me about 5 seconds to realize I was going to "Love" this one. I really liked the stereo delay on the sax you put in when the song got going . I think a "little" bit of it would be nice earlier on. I may have tried some different panning on the first minute or 2 on the...
Welcome yowie. Yeah .. feedback and more ears on a project is a "must" for me. Some of it you get will be what you need , and some will have you chasing your tail with no good results. If what you get is an honest opinion , and thats what they really feel , it should be explored.
If you are...
Keith , Thanks for the reply back. I've got a fairly large amount of IR reverbs to choose from in Cakewalk , but have only actually used one of them. I'd never heard of the mic's you used , so I researched them. They are "for sure" too far out of my reach. I'll have to stick with my AT's and...
Hey , I'm listening on very "slightly" bass hyped headphones and everything sounds Great to me. I enjoy "any" genre of music that's done well , and I think you hit the spot on this one (for me). On the suggestion side .. I have a pet peave about a song starting as soon as I press the play...
Keith , Excellent performance ! I was Super impressed by the tone and clairity of both of the instruments. I loved your choice of reverb. Just the right amount of decay and brought out the rich overtones. What did you use on this one if you don't mind sharing ? Enjoyed it .. mark
Thanks , I only recently started officially releasing my originals. I did one yesterday , and while I was in there I checked my streaming bank acccount. So far I've made $ 82 cents ! I'm Well on my way to buying a new Apollo interface. Soundcloud and SoundClick will always remain intact. ms
@HumanPlanet Yes ! , that is the way it was originally recorded. No pause , just jumped straight from 68bpm to 80bpm. I was convinced to put the pause in by members on a different forum and they are Normally right. Now I Don't like the pause and the faster bpm part doesn't have the same impact...
@HumanPlanet , Yeah .. thats the problem I had with it. I Kept thinking it sounded right (or acceptable) but , kept getting bad comments about it . I had to get away from it for a while to get a better perspective. Thanks for all the Great comments on my Soundcloud page. @dobro , Thanks for the...
Thanks @JAPOV , I've always been a Doobie Bros fan.
I've done a Remix and probably the Final . I Finally got the pause at the tempo change the coorect length . Don't know why this was such a problem . Thanks .. mark
Hey , I Love the low end in this one . The bass stabs were real nice. For sure was a nice lead break with the FX and proper EQ on the guitar. One thing I noticed about this mix compaired to your others , is the Highs being a little more subdued. Nice! They sound cleaner without the piercing...
@Serendipity Records , yeah .. I went back and listened to the shakers pretty close. I thought they were where they should be. I figured it was during the pause before the tempo change that was your concearn. Still thought it was ok. The pause before the tempo change section was a nightmare to...
