"Crazy"

[bkeeb]

Song I recorded and mixed for a family friend and his band. I would love some feedback on the mix.
Thanks!

You know.... I liked it.... wish I could say more, but I dont' know what to say.. so.. good mix man imo

 

[TripleM]

I thought it sounded real good. Good performances, good sounds, and real nice ambiance.

Something strange on the first syllable of "crazy" at :31.

Is it just me or does the mix seem lopsided - a bit heavy on the left?

 

[bkeeb]

Thanks for the feedback.
I hear the weirdness on crazy. Not quite sure what it is. I listened to the vocals dry and it still remains. Possibly a flub in his performance? And I had a little too much acoustic on the left. The meters look pretty even now though.

 

[TripleM]

Yeah I think it's just how he sang it. That line is repeated elsewhere right? Is it possible to cut and paste over it?

 

[bkeeb]

Yeah I could probably cut and paste that last one. I think he might be coming in to vocals again though.

 

[PoeticIntensity]

Sounds good, man. Your drums sound really spacious, and nice. Drummer is pretty good, too. One nit would be that, while the drums are spacious, the guitars sound cluttered toward the middle. Spread them out a bit more, perhaps? Also, the more I listen, the more I think the cymbals need to come down a bit. When he goes crazy on them, it covers the other instruments.

Good tune, and great performances!

 

[komposer]

I agree with PoeticIntensity. Pull back on the cymbals and spread the guitars. That could be preference, sounds very cool, really liked it.

 

[heatmiser]

This sounds very good. A nice balance of all the instruments, good clarity and an adequate sense of space. I like the guitar sound in particular - not too much of an expert of acoustic instruments here - is that one of those resonator guitars? I know the sound, just not 100% on what produces it. Well done.

 

[trumpino1]

Yeah I'll have to say that it needs a little more stereo spread on the guitars. That might help the middle to clear up a bit and not fight so hard with itself. Nice song though.

 

[bkeeb]

Right on thanks for all the advice. Definitely will spread the guitars out more and bring the cymbals down a bit. And yes it was a resonator guitar on that lead part.
