It was measurably improved after finding the crackle. :D The tale of this piece is weird. I literally wrote it in my sleep. I was dreaming, and I'll not bore w/ those details, but the song was being sung by an Irish Tenor on a church stage - kind of in a "Danny Boy" style. Guy had a marvelous...

When everything is up front and forward all the time, the presentation takes on a monotonous linearity that fatigues the ear. This is 1000x a better mix than the first, but I'm going to give you homework. Start cutting out what isn't absolutely essential and try to create valleys and peaks to...

I found it. It was in a Waves compressor plugin on the organ part. The odd thing being that it was kind of unnecessary anyways. I also took the opportunity to slightly readjust the guitar levels AND roll back the vocal levels as advised as well.

It DOES make the detective work more difficult, but in this case I can't shine the blame on them. My suspicions are rooted in the original file as well. It's really right at the edges of the sound and the casual listener isn't going to hear it. We, collectively, aren't casual listeners. :D

I think you're right. It's ever so faint, but since the guitar is the primary driver of sound in this piece, it think whatever is breaking up is triggered by the guitar. The weird thing is it is so fast and so faint - and the kicker: So random. It was worse in a prior version - where it was...

ONE question: Is anyone hearing ever so slight crackling of what sounds like a driver crackling/breaking up? I can't tell if it is in the recording itself or is occurring on my system alone. It is really hard to hear, but if it is there, I know Trip will hear it. That's basically all I need...

Agreed. This leans more EDM. All in all, it's well done for what it is. EDM basically pushes a beat w/ some ear candy thrown in. This fits that nicely. I find it gets rather monotonous to listen to for longer than a minute or two - but I'm not dancing to it. In a dance floor environment, it...

The result of two similar gits playing the same thing tends to be phase. At issue is you wind up with a wide phasey center. There has to be enough distinction to split the sound L/R and open the middle. You cannot have the same sound L/R or it results in "wide phasey mono". I think that's what...

Sorry about the sudden spamming, but I'm finding the extra ears extremely useful assistance as I'm wrapping up this collection. For example, because I tend to stick to a process, a comment about too much space around the drums led me to agree and begin to go back and change ALL of the drum...

JUST A HAIR HOT - as everything is clear but suffering from the pressed glass sonic syndrome. Great tune. Well played, tracked, and mixed. Spot on in the sentiment. We can be so stupid in the country. One guy killed hemp research in the same way this asswipe stifled healthcare for all. It is a...

I'd have listened longer, but I had to stop to stem the bleeding out of my eardrums. Yowsers! :D

Generally this is solid. In nitpicking, the click (snare) is a bit too loud and pops through too hard. That is, seriously, the only mix concern that literally "poked out" at me. I'm not a fan of the autotune effects (hard correct) and feel that the melody would sound improved if they were kept...

I will check it out - but in this, you'll hear what I was talking about with the gits in your song. I've got these things panned out nearly to 80% L/R w/ 2 instruments. It lets the space in the middle open up for the vocal to sit in. I DO have QUITE a bit of high end on the bass to pop it. It's...

Okay - here's what I'd do: There's too much straight up the wide middle. The guitar and vocal (verse) are competing for the same space ... so what to do is take the guitar out of the middle entirely. Throw it off to the side. Let the vocal sit in the center pocket. If you've multiple guitars...

Just finished the remix/remaster of this blues rock shuffle piece (think "Little Feat") and I have a very specific question: Is the mastering "too hot"? Do you "hear" the glass ceiling? Of course, ANY comments about anything are warmly appreciated - but the mastering levels are a little more...

Yeah - likely my fear of "runaway bass" in play again. I hiked it up 3 more db and then rolled it back slightly. Maybe my instincts were correct first time around. Thanks guy!

Morning! Adjustments made in accordance with observations. Thanks again! I think it is improved by the input.

Oh - the clicky thing is a clock - timed/sync'd w/ the song tempo via studio wizardry. The song is about Over "time" - and work - which is why I also included an industrial steam sounding rhythm section. :D

Great thoughts! Totally appreciated. I particularly like your perspective about the levels - and their relativity in the mix. The sax sticks out to me - and I rolled it back into the bed more. Therefore - your comment hits DIRECTLY on a thought process I made a conscious decision about. I also...
