    Kenya (remix 2)

    Ok, the link now reflects another remix. Thanks @dobro , I like it when you get me looking deeper into a mix. It's nice to have other ears on a project. Thanks @Big Thier for the lead guitar fix. 😁 It's like when I revisit a project that has been finished for a few months , I hear it differently...

    Kenya (remix 2)

    @dobro , I'll look at that section again , and yes it would be pretty easy to automate the EQ in any given section. ms

    Kenya (remix 2)

    The link now reflects a remix . There were quite a few timing issues with the bass . Track volumes are balanced a little bettter now. When I started this one my project got corrupted by 4 instances of "Space Blender" reverb plugin. Severe glitching and tracks recording out of time. CPU usage...

    Kenya (remix 2)

    @subvibe , Thank You. If I can impress "You" on a mix I feel I have acomplished something. 😁 @Big Thier , You've gotten me lookig at a few changes that would help. Lead guitar is down 2db now , and it's smoother. I'll edit the post when I've got things locked in a little better. Thanks for...

    Kenya (remix 2)

    Hello , here's a pretty short instrumental I'm finalizing. I used my G&L asat and brought in my homemade lap steel on the 2nd half of the song. Anything sticking out that needs attention please let me know. Thanks .. mark https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=15028581

    Tears In The Rain (Work in progress)

    Jeff , I thought this was Amazing ! , Especially for an early mix/master. Big "Blade Runner" fan and have used the line "Tears in the Rain" myself. I'm sure there are lots of changes to come later... What hit me first was the Synth intro was maybe a little to hot and forward in the mix . I...

    "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...

    Lap Steel 2

    Hello , I've been playing around with my recently built lap steel and trying to figure things out. This is a short sparce instrumental with 2 lap steel tracks , bass and drums. I'm trying to figure out how to get a pedal steel sound . My next one will have "benders" on the G and B strings. I'm...

    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."
