Thanks for the pointers Groucho. I really appreciate it.
I have posted a new mix using several ideas. I cut some of the vocal reverb. I bumped the piano up (although he didn't start until 8 measures into the song lyrics). I took studio's suggestions about the ending.
And I spent...
Just for the record.... I didn't think of myself as being "picked on". I just don't really feel the need to enter a cussing contest with anybody. I don't think it takes anything special to cuss someone out..... but that's just my opinion.
The guy rags on me for not having music posted out...
Man.... it was all good. The drums were astounding! Great break starting at 2:15. Super guitar tone. Vocal kinda reminds me of new Dylan album. (only better) :)
I forgot to mention that you have really amassed a thoughtful, elaborate and highly educated vocabulary over the years. I'm so fortunate that we met because I'm sure there are many many things that I can learn from you to better myself as both a musician and a person. :)
You're the most awesome musician and singer on this site. And you have wisdom and insight beyond your years. I count myself blessed to have heard the parts of your songs.
You're the non christian, secular, indi rock guru..... you don't need any explanations from me.
Sorry... I should have put 5 stars on all of the threads you started instead of just the one.
Have a great day
Thanks studio for the review.
I agree with you about the piano. I just remixed it with the piano more prominent through out. The guy is really a talent... on all styles of keyboard.
That honky tonk is a factory setting in my roland 3080 module.
The vinyl sound. That's created by...
I sent them to you.... one at a time to stay under the size limit. And they're coming back to me with a Yahoo message that says you haven't set your account up correctly to receive email??
LOL....
seriously though.... I've got a few cd's of "sound effects". All sorts of stuff...... hundreds. Want me to rip a few to a quality mp3 and send them to you?
Thanks guys.... I appreciate it. I do need some fresh ear right now! The pause between the old and the new... I intended that to be not "in time". I wanted a moment of hesitation. Maybe should have kept it in time?
Remixed a little tonight. I did put more high end in the drum...
Here's a fresh one .... called "Jesus Is The Rock". Rockin gospel blues. I played all the instruments except the honky tonk piano. Buddy of mine played that track. Lot going on in this song once it gets going. I need some good mixing advice. I already know that I need to use a...
Well the update on my ATR1A is that I still don't have it. I paid extra for two day shipping ..... but 2 day shipping to Zzounds means you buy it Thursday and get it the next Wednesday.
I've bought from them before. But I talked to their customer service on the phone.... and it is apparent...
I think yours sounds everybit as good... or probably better. Loudness... I dont' know..... I just have it mixed loud. I think sometimes volume is achieved with eq maybe better than it is with the sliders? I don't know.... I'm a learner.
But I recorded on a Yamaha AW4416 hard disk...
