Here is another another guitar instrumental from me that I hope some of you will find interesting enough. It's pretty up-beat, light-hearted and energetic. Should be easy enough to listen to.
I struggled with the mix on this one. I think that, well in the case of the verse parts, having the rhythm and lead parts operating in the same frequency range made is difficult to create enough separation between the parts and removed the heavy mids this song seems to have (with my ears anyway). I have chatted with one member that has considered doing a re-mix for me, and I'm still anxious to hear what someone else's perspective would bring to the table. I've come to the conclusion that the end result is only as good as the up-front sounds can deliver. I mixed, re-mixed, re-recorded and tweaked for days (calendar weeks) trying to maximize the quality and I currently don't have the skill (or equipment) to take this one further.
I'm all ears with suggestions. Shoot me straight and let me know where I can go next from here.
Thanks, Daren
