maybe a bump for this one? i was thinking that this one was probably more in line with what folks here like to listen to, than my acoustic one....?

hey kessler, thanks again for listening. i love JA, and nuno is a monster. there is a good amount of bass on this, so it may be your playback system. bass is playing counterpoint to the guitars. it vibrates the walls in my studio. it would be hard to hear in drums on this mix, because there are...

HEY KESSLERBOY Thanks for the comments! this is all me, solo effort. and i agree, with a full band line up, it could be a barn burner. as long as the harmonies are all there, you could take it in a few different directions, i think. this song is from my album "The Time is Magic".

alright flyguitarfish! yep, that sounds right, fly fish, play guitar... LOL yea, the end solo on high time, just felt like it needed to go there to resolve the vibe... almost like reminiscing on something that just happened...

*The Travel Song - a track written around a sony Acid drum loop drum track. kind of a king's x vibe. the thing about this one is..... and the reason it comes off as a bit smoother than some of the other material, is...... it's a Waltz! LOL... well, actually, 6/8 time. but i feel it like a waltz...

ok, so maybe, a weekend bump?

thanks for listening human! morning glory, yea, could be that weed with the pretty white flowers. not. LOL the vid, is just a collection of personal images, really, i could have just put the album cover on it and been done with it.

thanks for listnening frank! appreciate it. yea, i like janes addiction, they're a fun band to listen to. it seems MOST people like the solo at the end, it's kind of like a recap of the vibe, and allows the song to resolve. plus, i try to stay away from typical arrangements as much as i can...

thanks deylight! crunchy guitars go well with a cup of java. LOL good that the low end translates, that's a tough one to nail.

Sunday bump

added a vid:

UPDATED MIX. think i've got the low end dialed in now.

hey thanks w1av! appreciate the comments i did NOT play for aerosmith! heheh, couldn't handle the coke and heroin.... if they had been COFFEE addicts, yea, i could hang.... LOL there were several guitars used on this song... the strat is a custom thing, using mostly the bridge (Wilde 500L)...

ha! thanks raymond, yea, drum sounds are easy, writing a decent song is a bit harder!! LOL

thanks for chiming in raymond... it's mostly subjective, i know, but i don't want the drums to cover up the instruments, just to give as much punch to the bass and guitars as i can try to blend them together... on certain playback systems, the drums sound perfect to me, but on others, they seem...

ok, direct mix question: are the drums a bit too loud in this, or just right? i'm thinking i can take them down a bit. this is a new mix.

I USE hardware compression going in, parallel compression on the acoustic buss, and light compression on the track at mixdown. the hardware compression gives me color, and tames just the peaks, makes it much more mixable... the parallel compression on the buss, lets me dial in the final level...

hey talisman, i've tried sending my stuff to various users in the past, just never get any response. pretty much gave up on that idea.

hi BTStudio, thanks for listening, and thanks, really, for the kind words. they encourage! LOL i used this for all the guitar parts:
