So, I've listened to it a few times on my studio monitors, and I think the drum mix is good. It sounds nice and natural. What I wish is that I could hear the detail in the drums as much as I hear detail in everything else. The music mix is almost as if the drums were sonically in the...

Heck yes. The new mix kicks the old one's trash all over the place. Vocals are still thin, but not nearly as thin as they were. If I'm being picky, There is a slight lack of low-end, generally... It'd be super cool to get that kick bumping my sub a bit, and the bass synths should probably...

Hey Pete! It's always a good day when I hop on here and find something new from you. A few nits, which seem to be what others are saying - vocals really need to come up. You've got a pretty incredible texture to your voice, and covering it up just won't do. I'm also noticing you're putting a...

Cool, man. Here are my thoughts. It's late, and I've been mixing clients' work all day, so my ears might be on the fritz, so take these with a grain of salt. 1. I think the snare is being plagued by combing effects. It's probably out of phase with the overheads. I'd try to line them up, if...

Hey, guys! This was certainly a fun song to play. The mix sounds good generally, but since you asked for it, I'm gonna give ya some pointers on the drum mix as my ears hear it. I'm listening on Adam A7X monitors in a purpose-built control room. Here are my notes. (Please take this with a...

Your really are too kind, man. Thanks.

Sounds great, Gerry! I'm always happy to help with drums, man. This was a fun one, and you didn't know this, but I got a new Pearl piccolo snare, and the first time I recorded it was for this song. I think it turned out great!

Heh... I was trolling this forum for the past few days seeing when you would post your Christmas song. I love these things! This year's was great! Thanks for sharing.

I'm so glad I dropped by tonight. Glad to hear some of your stuff, Keith! It's been too long, man. So, it's late - so critiquing ... well... I thought it was really good. I listened on AKG 701's as well as my studio monitors. Bass was nice and heavy through the monitors (with a sub), and...

Heh... Sounds great guys. I might be a bit biased, but those drums could use a little bit more volume - the whole kit, just up by 1.5dB or so. Bass could also use a bit of a boost, too. Great song, guys. It just keeps getting better.

Cool mix, Gerry! Because I mix my own drum sounds almost every day for a variety of clients, I can tell right now that the Overheads are too loud (I listened to v3), and the snare bottom is *way* too loud. It's sucking the life out of the batter side of the snare. The "snare" needs to come up...

Yup, I definitely get that. My first mixes use to result in drums spanning 100% wide. I even think I used stereo manipulation tools to get them wider than 100% a few times. Now, I find that keeping my drums to 50% or less sounds better, or as you say, more "natural". I also use X/Y stereo...

Man... That kick is thunderous. Turns out, the more I listen to it (the kick), the more I like it. When the chorus came in, I found myself thinking "I think it would be cool if the chorus had a chorus effect on the vocals." Not sure why I think that, but ... it's almost like I expected it...

So... Sounds good. Arrangement is beautiful. Sounds are rich and full. My only nit is (me being a drummer) - it sounds like the cymbals, perhaps, are coming through the snare mic. All cymbal hits, except a very few, sound like they're coming dead-center, and maybe that's how you want it. I...

Haha! I was wondering why the shaker switched sides... Dude.. This mix is significantly better than the first. Heading in the right direction. As it is, it sounds like a great old-timey mix with a bit of polish. ... and ya know, I probably wouldn't change it. It's nice and tight now, and...

You rock, Beagle. Thanks for the listen and comment. ...and yes, the vocal sounds like crap because nothing has been done to it (except maybe some compression and verb, but maybe not... can't remember), and I didn't care about making it sound good. For an example of his finished vocal and...

Rock on, brother. Thanks for the listen! Yeah.. We're probably gonna have to re-record the acoustic on this one. I tried to make it sound the best I could, but ... something is definitely off. It's a Martin X-series, but it's a very jangly Martin. It's definitely sounded better. ...

Really cool vibe on this one, man. A few things I noticed was that the shaker thing going on hard right is very, very loud. It could probably be attenuated about 8 db and still be defined. The drums lack a lot of definition. Guitars sound pretty good, although it seems there's some low-mid...

Yo, Steve. If I came off as sarcastic, my apologies... I wasn't at all. I really did listen to it about 6 times before I went on to other things. That means I enjoyed listening to it. The mix has some problems, but dude... I'm not kidding. I really enjoy listening to it. Great work, dude.

Dude... The mix obviously could use a bit of help, but I've gotta say, I was grinning from ear to ear while listening, man. It's kind of like listening to organized chaos. To be honest, I'm not quite sure why I like this song so much, but I'm on my third listen, and still grinning. I LOVE...
