That is better, although it seems a little left of center still. Seems to have more compression going on to it, as the 'snare' sound of the drum is not as present as in your previous mixes. I use mono compressors on the individual drums if required, and stereo if I'm compressing a stereo...

It's kind of weird actually. I can hear the snare, left / right and little bit of level centered. It helps a little, but I'm preferring your mix with the snare off to the left over this version. Do you have a stereo widener / enhancer or something on it? It almost sounds like the snare is...

I really like this song, great writing! You asked "What did you guys think of the balance between organ in the right ear and acoustic guitar in the left?" That's the main thing I've been focusing on while listening to this. The mix feels lopsided to me, lopsided towards the acoustic guitar...

Always a good idea to keep an eye on tubes, but... Has this amp always sounded the same to you? More importantly, does the recorded version of your amp sound the same as you playing in the room with it, or radically different? EL

Do you have any other electrics to try? I'd be hard pressed to make an electric sound like that through a twin unless something was inherently wrong with the guitar or amp.

A video of a stationary picture. ok. The 'clean' sound is almost ok until you hit a bit harder, then it's terribly harsh sounding on the breakup. The OD sound is out of this world, in a bad way. I've owned a few twins and none of them sound like this one with even random knob settings. Not...

One of the downsides to the mini-pc's is that they may be noisier (acoustically, fan noise etc) then you prefer, and there isn't much you can do about it as they tend to be very proprietary parts. Another downside, is they tend to not have much expandability, if that is a requirement for you...

Glad it is of help, although I missed one key part of your requirement. Does it have to be a laptop? If you are leaning towards any kind of gaming laptop because of the generally higher specs, try not to go overboard on the video card. They run very hot by nature, and as such the lifespan of...

I recently upgraded from a 9th gen Intel i7 to a 14th gen i7. Only because the opportunity presented itself (my brother wanted a dedicated computer for astronomy image crunching). Although the performance increase wasn't tremendous, it was noticeable. As for your questions. 1. I'd recommend...

I think it sounds great, really. No mix complaints here. You were morphing into Jon Anderson at the end there... cool! :) EL

Whoops.. Tjarko's a great bass player. Trojka was an album of his I think. My apologies.

Awesome musicianship. Trojka is a great bass player. Enjoyed the song, very funky. EL

My tinnitus makes mixing a chore at the best of times, but like others here, I don't go for too long and take breaks from it. This is where the mp3 mixing clinic is so invaluable to me, combined with playing it on other systems and feedback from other people in general. I do try to mix fast...

I suspect you are correct, at least synth V. I like the subtle double time when the strumming guitars come in. The lyrics are a sibilance nightmare though. Should be easily fixed with a touch of de-essing. I like the song. Thumbs up.

If you could post something that isn't altered by the autotune and whatever else you got going on, would be useful. i.e. raw track.

After listening a bit to the Lou Reed song, I kinda get what you are after (and I think you are really close). You need to improve the sound of the right guitar, so it is not so bright / piercing. However you accomplish that, either by re-tracking / eq etc. So my suggestion of moving the...

I think you have a great voice! Especially the way you harmonize, they blend together very well. If you brought the jangly / busy guitar in the right channel, back in the mix a bit, and perhaps not so far right, it would make it a bit less distracting. Possibly move the keyboard to the right...

Good, catchy song. You captured the 90's rock vibe, at least what I remember of it, very well! I listened to your last revision of the mix, and don't notice anything too out of place. Maybe, a small touch of mid range to the electrics would brighten them up a little. But maybe not, that is...

Nice song. A little repetitive as you said, but I listened to it in its entirety. I like the way the cello blends into the bluesy / jazzy / Spanish vibe you got going on. I'd probably try some syncopated 16th note runs, ala Al Di Meola just to add some acceleration and a bit of excitement to...

I think rob aylestone is probably on to something. Give his suggestion a whirl. It's in the thread you cross-posted. I had a cheap Chinese mic years ago (I think it was a MXL V67, the green mic) that had a similar intermittent sound much like this. EL
