Hey guys I posted my first mix of a song here last night (The First Cut Is The Deepest) and your opinions were very helpful...I tried to take them on board and re-did things a little this afternoon.

The guitar has been re-done with two condensers and a harder pic to get a more bright sound, even though the mics picked up a little rain from my roof! The vocals have a dash more reverb, and have also come down in the mix. The drums i sexed up with a loop, though my selection of loops is abysmal. Still I think its an improvement...who knows, maybe I'm even learning!

Well heres a link to both songs, if ya need to refresh your memories.

Again, your opinions really are appreciated guys.

The old link is working.

WOW! Night and day difference on the AC Guitar!!!! Maybe try and pan the two tracks out a bit farther? The vox need to come down a bit too I think.

HUGE improvement!!! :D
 
I guess you have copied song link after you logged in.
Take it from the other side (public side)
 
thanks bud, trying to do you proud! I might even take some treble off, and youre right about the panning too....did ya hear the rain at the start? what about the drums?? Think i fixed that link.

Nice breathy voice, would benefit greatly from some backup harmonies, but stand up nicely on their own. Good voice - that's a tough song and you did it well with original inflections and some nice original ones.

The drums are nice and simple and carry the song along nicely.

The sound of the rhythm guitar is really nice. Next to the voice it carries a great deal of the song very well.

Everything seems to hold it's own space but at the same time it's cohesive......

I liked this performance/mix.....

Cool web site too.....

IMHO everything sounds better!

How did you redo the drums?

What do YOU think about the new version?
 
well im way happier with it! Used a loop for the drums and used midi to do the fills. Im gonna do the guitar track again tomorrow when I have the house to myself and hopefully, there'll be no rain on my conservatory! I think it was a bit sloppy, but apart from that, I think i creted more of the depth I was looking for.

Absolutely.

I think panning the ac guitar a bit more will finish off the "space" issue you had before. It's kinda funny how the fake drums now sound more real than the real drums did. :)
 
isnt it weird? Well i think the 'fake' ones do the job nicely here, they were never a huge part of it anyways. And ill try the panning thing again, really need to decide which mic goes on the bridge and which goes on by the 12th...I also have a rack compressor that I wont bother with, see how it sounds straight in. But thats pretty simple now that I know what I'm looking for. Thanks so much for pointing that stuff out, its little things that make a HUGE difference.
