Higher Ground -final mix-

[mark skinner]

Hello , with this winter weather I haven't had too much of anything taking up my time except recording. This is my first mix/master of a new one. Pretty laid back , mainly acoustic gtr. and keys and vox. "space blender" reverb used on the backing choir type tracks. I did try something new using nylon drum brushes on a hardshell guitar case. Pretty satisfying.. Open for any feedback. Thanks for the listen .. mark

I like it, nice slow groove to it.

Most Excellent Mark! Very clean and laid back... cool lyrics

 

[PorterhouseMusic]

Man - that's nice. Absolutely love that laid back pocket groove. Vocals and gtr playing are solid. Excellent

 

[BTStudio]

Great performance with tasteful and respectful nods to the original. Nice

@Eric V , Thanks , yes .. this one was Very slow. I ran out of time before I ran out of parts to record.
@TAE , Thanks for the listen and comment. Any more laid back and I'd be horizontal.
@PorterhouseMusic , Appreciate that. I tried to keep the main guitars pretty simple. I just did a stereo recording of an acoustic instead of the left/right guitars as I normally do. I'll probably do more of that in the future.
@BTStudio , I Really appreciate the listen and you taking time to comment. BTW this "is" an original. I probably should have chosen a diffferent song title.
I'm calling this one finished and the link now reflects my last mix. I'm sure I'll do some tweeking later. Thanks .. mark

lol my mistake. Awesome non the less

 

[HumanPlanet]

Really good!

Great playing, meaningful lyrics.

I'm sure I'll do some tweeking later.

Careful with the reverb...

Nice work on this, Mark. No nits on the mix. Did you track the harmony vocal or use a harmonization plug? The phrasing is so close that it caused me to wonder.
