Yeah, man. To me that mix (Mix 8) is a big improvement. Nice!

Thanks, Elton and Steven, I appreciate you taking the time to listen and comment. Glad you liked the song and the mix! Lastdays, nope, no phaser, but I guess the multiple takes of vocals just slightly off from each other is making it sound like there is...I'm scratching my head as to why that...

Hi, I listened to both mixes...they both seem narrow to me, with little or no panning, and to me that is the lowest hanging fruit. Pan a few of the elements of the mix out away from center and you will immediately have a better mix. Typically people leave vocals and bass in the center, and...

Really great, man. I agree that the mix is a little guitar heavy and bass light, but I was pretty much focused on your stellar vocals anyway, so that didn't bother me too much. I'm sure RJD would be proud of this...nice tribute!!! Best, Dave DeWhitt SoundClick artist: Dave DeWhitt - page...

Hey Ido1957, somehow I missed your post when I replied above...I guess I should have my coffee before I start posting on forums :) Thanks for listening, I'm glad you liked it! I feel almost like I passed some kind of test, finishing this mix with all these tracks. I'm happy it doesn't sound...

Hey Jason, thanks for the listen and the great feedback. You always zero in on the stuff that I'm agonizing over before I post :) With the above ^^^ I tried that vocal crescendo about ten different ways and none of them were great, so maybe I should just nix it altogether. I feel like there...

Hi All, I just posted a new song to my Soundclick page called "What I Know Now" and I'm hoping to get some mix feedback. This song is just a fun, rocking, cheesy tune, and I had fun writing it and coming up with the parts, but the mix was difficult for me, because I ended up with almost 60...

Hey, welcome to the forum. I think the singer is great, there's something in the quality of his voice that is special and unique and it's still strong and technically very good. If I was an A&R person from a record label (sorry to say, I'm not:)), I'd be very interested in that voice. The...

Very nice. I initially thought the vocals were a little hot and a touch dry, but I went out and listened to a couple of tracks by Norah Jones, which I thought sounded like a similar style, and you are dead on with the levels. The vocals might be a tad "airy" or "breathy" or something...

I like it, I always like your stuff...don't always comment, but almost always listen to it and enjoy :) I agree with Lt. Bob that the bass on this track seems a little heavy. Other than that, no nits, I liked it. Cool performance and tones from the guitar. Lots of texture to keep it...

I really like this one...great writing, both music and lyrics. The hook is great, "In a dark and distant future..."...love that part. I don't have any mix nits, I think the mix is just right for the song and the style. Great work, thanks for sharing! Best Regards, Dave SoundClick artist...

That ^^^ made me smile, cause I definitely have some of that going on, and I bet if a lot of other people on here are honest about it, it's probably pretty common :) However...IMHO you are operating at a very high level with your mixes, and you are definitely in the realm where most critiques...

Ok, I just finished a new mix. I changed a few things based on the comments above, namely: 1) Pulled drum levels down 6dB at start and gradually increased to full level when bass comes in, 2) pulled 5 dB out of bass at 200 Hz, 3) decreased volume of a few of the chorus snare hits to try to make...

Hey Jason, I'm hearing a little too much bass or something. The plosive in the first verse on the "p" of the word "keep" almost seemed inevitable by the time I heard it because it seems that entire range of the spectrum is hyped. I also agree on first listen with Tobe's comment about the...

I loved it. The guitars sound awesome to me, thick and compressed and still chewy. The vocal harmonies are great too...I can hear why several people have said they might like the vocals a touch louder, but it didn't bother me enough to worry about it. It's a great song too, without taking...

I like this topic...even though it makes me feel a certain amount of dread just to think about it :) I think that everyone is different of course, and I'm not sure from the OP whether or not the lyrics are being crafted to music, or prior to the music, or otherwise. But....I generally write...

Hey JPW, I just read back through this and realized I sounded like a real a-hole when I said that ^^^ Sorry about that, I like the tune, and the mix is great, it just hit me that it would be a great country song. I should proof read my posts better before I submit! Best Regards, Dave

Hey, just gave a listen, and I have a thought, and I hope it doesn't piss you off, but here goes... It seems to me that the vocal delivery and the lyrics and songwriting are firmly in the country vein, but the guitars and drums, etc are all performed in a hard rock style. I hate to say it...

Hi Mike, Very nice. I like your voice a lot. A couple of minor nits: the acoustics sound a little thin/weak, especially the low strings. How did you record them? The acoustic lead part sounds really nice, so I'm wondering if that was recorded the same way or did you do something different...

Yeah, man. I just had another listen. I really like the whole vibe of the song. The vocal doubling didn't stick out to me as much today, but I was listening more for enjoyment today rather than to critique, so that's probably a good sign that it's not a big issue. EZ Drummer...that's at...
