Mix comments welcome.
Yeah, I think you're right. I just about got it right in the mix, but not quite. But it's interesting to compare the finalized mix I did and then the Youtube mangle (which comes after the video software render, of course). It sounds better in my DAW, and it sounds worse in Youtube - not just lower fidelity, but it's like the center gets muted a bit compared to left and right. So my cunning plan is: Youtube for the video version, and Bandcamp for the full-res unmangled audio version.Very nice. My old ears say bring your vocal a bit more upfront and place her vocal a bit further back. Nice tune.
Youtube mangle for some of it, for sure.Recording fidelity is excellent. Things sound very clear. Performances sound excellent too.
The mix sounds compressed/limited a bit too hard. But that might be YouTube doing some/most/all of that.
I'd agree to pull the female vocal back a db or two in the verses.
I'd roll just a bit of low end out of your voice. Just a bit.
There is something a bit strange about the brushes-on-the-snare sample. It cuts off abruptly and a bit unnaturally. Outside of me I doubt anyone would notice.
I'd take some of the low end out of the bass. But I like a lighter low end than most people, so probably nobody is going to agree with that.
There is some noise before your intro line, I think it is the djembe. Just before 'she's soft'. It sounds like breath intake, but I think it's the djembe. I'd edit that out, as it doesn't add anything.
I find the vocal balance fine. I would not bring your vocal forward, I think they both sit fine where they are. If anything, I might drop your vocal a dB.
I like the fretless bass, don't hear that much anymore. Bass balance is fine for me.
Very Gilmourish solo, but I'm sure that was intentional.![]()
If it sounds wide, it's probably because I did teo takes of the guitar part and panned them HL/HR.very wide sounding which is something I always struggle with. everything is smooth and well recorded. only thing that sounds weird to me is the brush don't know what but maybe it could come down a bit.
Hey, thanks for the kind words. I just lay down the song and Tjarko takes it to the next level. Got some help from a good singer on this one, too.After getting the balance a little closer per the above suggestions , I believe I would play with the vox reverb's a little bit and try and smooth out the edges some .
