Hi.
Have you gone overboard with limmiters....the song is pumping like crazy....?
-einar-
Nope, it`s not pumping it`s rotating as in the guitars and keys were ran through a leslie rotating speaker , I take it if you think it`s pumping then you don`t really like this effect. I`ll repost without that effect .
Hi, this is my attempt:View attachment 82695
Here's my mix of this great song.
I tried to make it sound like Trubadour Metal, whatever it mean.
This is my home-mastered version. Actually I prefer the unmastered version where dynamic range is about 9-12 db, but with this version I'm trying to attend to loudness war.

Hi.
Anybody else here this pumping, or is it all in my head......?
-einar-
Ok, here`s my last attempt at it, took a totally different approach and switched up the drums using my Black Velvet Kit from Addictive Drums.
What you think of this one einar ?
I still like mine best. lol!
It is interesting to hear others perspectives tho.
Einar, I am open to work with other songs of yours, but I can't work on all for nothing. I have bills and stuff. Hit me up if you want to talk more about what I may possibly be able to help with. I am more than willing to help out with advice and such for free. I do make a bit of money from my studio, but it is the special stuff like this song that motivates me to play around for free. Plus, it is always a learning experience working with others tracks.
I still can't get the these damn lyrics out of my head. The song is really contagious....
Hi.
I was kind of cool.
Its sure was a more "dirty" approach. It a bit to rought for my taste. It sounds like all the instrumens are fighting for the same space, and the only one to get clear of this fight is the voice....who is not to good, and gets really naked up there....... boy am i good to explain myselve.....
btw: is it a pich/octave u are using on the guitars, heard best in the beginning....?

Hi.
Thats interessting.......... could u give us some rates, or PM me....?

It's a cool tune. Jimmy did nice work with it. Brought out the high hat and the lead guitar more which makes a huge difference. Jimmy, what did you do to the vocals that makes them so much easier to understand? Why do I hear no crash cymbals at all? Great work to both of you!
Thanks man.
On vocal track: Two compressors. 1st with fast attack, 10:1 ratio. Second with slow attack, also 10:1.
Eq boost at 4K. That's it.
I think it has more to do with how the guitars sit, that allows the vocals to cut through.
There are no crash cymbals on the provided drum track. I didn't actually even think about that. Maybe I should add some.![]()
