To all of you who liked the tune - thanks for listening - I'm glad you found something to listen to in it.
Gidge - thanks for the wider panning idea - I always think of anything past 70% as kinda radical
. 'Beedlybum' - it's either the guy in the song or the situation, I can't figure out which.
crawdad - I can make out the words, but that's cuz I know 'em already. Hmmm... Problem here, for sure. I'm gonna have to test 'em on people to find out if they can hear 'em. Oh wait a minute, that's what I'm doing here in the clinic.
Sluice - yeah, this gets down to it. When I double stuff and pan it left and right, it creates space, but then it sometimes sounds like it's panned center if the two sounds aren't dissimilar enough. That guitar you hear that comes in at 2.00 is two guitars, but I forgot to change the tone control when I played the second track, so the result is that it sounds dead center. Damn. l'll redo one of the guitar parts. Thanks for listening so closely.
Zeke - I didn't compress the first acoustic much, and I didn't compress the second acoustic part at all. Just nipped a dB or two off the odd peak with a limiter.
Torpid - you've nailed a problem I've got - working with beats - I need to spend more time with the samples. Thanks. A more useful comment than you thought maybe.
Hey, don't feel neglected if I didn't mention you by name - I'm concentrating on mix issues mostly, but I appreciate the listens and the global comments just as much.
