I think Im going to stop saying things in this forum...I aint got a clue..all sounds slick and very professional to me..and you do this in a home studio?

Bass sounded fine to me...

good stuff man! :)
 
Nice. One of the most balanced and pro souding mixes I've heard from you. Maybe the drums are a little bit "dark" sounding. Can use a little sparkle. Besides that, sounds great!
 
No, the bass isn't too loud at all...sound great ido :)!

You've definitely made tons of progress on this one as it sounds better each time you tweak. I agree with rami about the drums, but very cool nonetheless :cool:.

Thanks for the kind words Rami. I've been struggling lately with mixing "in the box" and so it's good to hear that it is coming together. I miss my analog setup.

I've left the drums "as is" from Jason with just a volume button adjustment to fit the mix. I might just add a bit of highs but I'm afraid to overdo it. It won't be today though - you probably know all about mixing "burn out"... :D

That's what I like to hear! Thanks man!

Good one Gerry.
The only thing missing from your tunes has been a real drummer. There is that "darkness" but it works well anyway.
Congratulations.
 
Good song, Gerry,

I think the bass is right where it should be. It's not too dominant. No nits from me.

Thanks Ray - the drums are great aren't they? They do make a big difference.

Thanks Wig - Bass is my weak mixing point. My room needs better treatment cause my monitors sound bass heavy right now.

:D:D:D:D
 
Nice! Great performance all around - great drums! I'm trying to put midi drums down for a reference on the song I posted here and it's not going well :o - There's an advantage to real drums properly recorded, and there's an even bigger advantage to a real drummer, of course.

I finally got decent monitors and a sub - I was thinking the bass was too loud (before I read your question), but I think I have my sub up too loud - I'm still getting that part down.

Is the lead vocal track a mono or a stereo track to begin with?

Thanks Antichef - Send PoeticIntensity (Jason) a PM about drumming for you....

The vocals are a mono track. In Sonar I set them to mix down in stereo (there's a stereo "button" on the mixer). Along with the stereo reverb it seems to spread them out somewhat.

that explains it - the lead vox seemed split to me, which wasn't bad, it's just that it seemed like there was more on the sides than there was in the middle and I couldn't figure it out.
