    "More To This" Marc Scibillia cover

    Thanks @BTStudio , I agree about the backing vox . I left it in only in a few select spots. @HumanPlanet , Good call. Thanks for taking the time to post an example. I played around with the shaker and ryhthm egg for awhile . They both just didn't sit well in the mix. I deleted both of them and...

    "More To This" Marc Scibillia cover

    Hello , I ran into this song on Social Media and couldn't get it out of my head . I thought I may as well try and cover it and see what happens. It's still a little rough around the edges and needs some further close up editing but , I'm pretty happy with the main structure. I used...

    Lap Steel 2

    @TripleM , Thanx for the suggestions. I did a very mild remix and backed off the drums and bass a little. Seems a little more balanced now. I also pulled the reverbs back a little. Seems I've been really overdoing the reverb lately. I also backed off a fuzz unit on the right guitar a little...

    Mona (realism question)

    Cool song .. Had I not read your post and just listened to the song , "I would have been Very impressed with the bass". I do think it's a little hot in sections but it drives the song along Nicely. My first impression of the drums was the snare could a "slight" pitch increase. The first time...

    Bad Blood -Mix 2 with vox- (remastered)

    @rob aylestone , Thanks Rob , I appreciate the listen and comment. @PJH , Thanks for the listen and comment/suggestion. I really hadn't noticed that but , the low Tom was Very clicky. I notched it out , centered it a little and turned it down. It helped a "little". When it was just an...

    Outrageous (about domestic abuse)

    Very Nice ! There is a Lot of cool stuff in this. I really liked the keys track specially around 2:50. Everything sounded nice and clean. I agree the lead vocal track could sit in the pocket a little better. There's also a couple of short sections I think the percussion got a little off...

    Bad Blood -Mix 2 with vox- (remastered)

    Thanks @Deylight , I addressed that section. The link now reflects a remix with vocals. Vox is more of a hard left chant than a storyline . "It's gettin a little embarrison callin' me American."

    Bad Blood -Mix 2 with vox- (remastered)

    Hello , I just finished building a "cigarbox" style lap steel guitar. Red Oak from Lowes , mohogany Starret caliper box and cheap hardware from "Temu" . (actually pretty nice). Had a spare soundhole pickup and mounted it with velcro. I'll try and get a photo done later. This is my first attempt...

    For those interested, the workflow for the recording of my “Alan Parsons Project” inspired track.

    Peter , another "steller" production. I don't think I've ever heard one of your songs without being totally blown away. You make it look so easy .. ms

    Lazy River -New master by Gary Brun-

    Hello , The link now reflects mix 2. Thanks for the comments and suggestions ! I did some automation on the guitars and side chained them to the piano. The're ducking out of the way now giving more focus to the slightly boosted piano. Bass guitar was boosted and crash replaced with...

    Lazy River -New master by Gary Brun-

    Hello , here's an instrumental I'm finishing up. I've had the guitar parts written for a long time but never recorded it. I did some of the intended vox parts with a piano just to get somewhat of a melody going. Still a work in progress so .. any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks for the...

    Simply Beautiful.. All of the instruments sound Perfect to me . Nice clear mix and Super impressive vocals. I listen to Fleet Foxes a good bit when I'm fishing. They have a way of slowing me down and getting into the moment. Love the song .. mark

    Heart Aches and Rattle Snakes -Final- New Mix and Master

    Yes , Gary has done quite a few for me. He's retired and in Norway and loves to master . We go back and forth with files untill we're both satisfied or sick of hearing one. Typically I'll send him a mix already run thru Ozone Master Assistant (basic EQ settings) but , without any of the volume...
