Hey Gecko I appreciate your feedback. It sounds like we just have different opinions on bass eq. I could have gotten a much fatter bass sound with tone and pickup selection alone when I recorded the track. To me, if I bump the lower frequencies of the bass too much then everything else starts to...

:)

Cool textures in this tune. Great guitar work by the way. I agree with some others on this that the synths with the higher frequencies are too dominant. At first listen I felt like I needed to go to the dentist, felt my fillings. From a guitarist perspective I think the lead guitar should be at...

Thank you all for listening and for your help with this. We all are going to mix our projects according to our own tastes. Like how fat we think the snare should be, how much reverb to use and where the instruments are planned. After putting a couple plugins on the share it did get fatter but...

Thanks Bruthish I appreciate the vote of confidence. Rami thanks again and yes I messed with your snare and kick. When I put this up the first time I was getting comments about the thin drum and bass sound. At that point I had only listened to your drum tracks through my Daw which had the phase...

Beautiful song and heart felt. I read an earlier post that spoke about up the middle and I agree with that. Also the bass and cello could use more work but I know you replied about the cello. Another option might be a better cello sample. Kirk Hunter Spotlight Strings comes to mind. It's...

I really like the song and the parts all fit nicely. The only thing that struck me that could be better is the drums especially the ride. Frequencies could be robbed from the rest of the mix so maybe subtractive eq with other instruments to make room for cymbals. It's all a matter of what you're...

Thanks Chambie. Yea a denser harmony on the back vox could be nice but I think I'm done adding tracks to this. Thanks for your input.

I'm posting this again as a new thread so as not to confuse the two mixes. I had a phase problem that robbed low end from the drums and bass and thanks to Dobro, Gecko and especially Rami I got busy working on the problem. I may have gone a bit overboard on the kick among other things so I'd...

-Love the amp hum too If it's an artistic effect great but I've never heard it on any nationally released record on a break. That said rules are made to be broken especially in art. After a closer look at this tune I think the thing that's most off setting to me if only a little bit is that in...

Real nice song and I like the chorus kinda ELO without all those strings. Your voice sounded good with some gravel in it. At the first break I heard a 60 cycle amp hum that to me detracted from what could have been beautiful silence. Quieter anyway.

Now I think there is a problem with my summing mixer so I mixed this in the box. Rami did a nice job playing on this so it's a shame for me to butcher his drum part. I thought that everything else sounded good going through my mixer, the drums had a phase issue though. At least that's what I...

Sorry that was for Dobro

I like your conviction Gekko and thank you for your input. The drum tracks were sent to me so there might be something lost in the transition or a screw up on my end, likely the latter. The Tom stem that I have has a very low level so the Toms I am hearing are mostly from overheads and don't...

Nice, cool creative. I like the GW Bush cameo! I have nothing to say about the mix the song's just nice.

You have been here longer than I have but it seems to me that you can waste a lot of time here with whimsical posts. Might be fixing mixes that don't really need repair. You have some of the best mixes on this forum and at some point you need to go with your gut.

No Sub but my room is treated, not as good as it could be though. The bass I used is a fender Jazz Bass into a UA 610 and a Distressor.

Thanks Geco. I decided to record the bass DI on this because of work flow so it might be as good as it's going to get unless I re-record the bass track. Appreciate your comment though.

Here is a new mix with mo bass! Kinda got me fired up. I'm sure this topic has come accross this forum before but if a red light occurs in a daw meter but overage measures 0db is it causing distortion? Obvious answer is if use your ears but your ears could well be better than mine. This happened...

Thanks Dobro and gecko I'll work on the drums and bass, I didn't use much eq on either. Yes Rami did play drums on this.
