Hi Wookiee, this is a true web of sound, and quite unusual.  I like the quirkiness of the time signature and the sounds you've chosen for this piece.  I, too, would like to hear a little more bottom in that bass, but otherwise, this is a good sample of your prolific talent.

Thanks Lynn, it is a jump around in odd n/8 time signatures, there are passages in 11/8, 9/8, 7/8 and 5/8.  Drums from SD 3, Synclavier V on lead, Mellotron V and CS 80 V on support, with the Mini V providing the rumple bass.

I liked it Wookiee.  Would of liked a little low end rumple to create some tension is the only thing I can think of.

Thanks for the listen, I will take a look at that low end rumple  

Thanks @garybrun well it does start in 9/8 🤘  oops I said 11/8 ,but it dose have a bar of 11/8 in it.

A little something from the furry mind.

A Tangled Web or A Tangled Web Mk2

Thanks for listening. 

@bitflipper good to hear from you Dave, glad they made you whole again, stay safe.

Anyone can play any instrument, now getting a tune is a completely different thing.

Overtones of Gilmore's first solo album is what I am hearing Bat's sounds nice and chilled in a fuzzy way.

Interesting tune, I like it though, sounds OK here on the Adam's.

(Would you like the first post in this thread removed because of the bad link.)

Classical EDM nicely done Kakku, though the HH's are a little buried. 

(I deleted your unintentional post as indicated.)

Nice song Daryl but as other have noted it does sound a little thin, especially the vocal.

Wookiee: I just ran the Youlean meter on the new mix/master and I also see the little red indications of clipping scattered throughout.  I'm not sure where this is coming from... How do I fix this? Should I put a limiter on the stereo out of my mix prior to bouncing down (before mastering)?

What does it say in the True Peak box @Michael Martinez ?  Looking at the new version it is defiantly not looking as loud.

I am seeing a peak of -0.5 so it looks more like it is warning you you are close to the edge, the other mix was showing +1.5

This is a much better Mix than I listened too of the the other track Michael, I must be hearing a remix as I am not hearing the lack of bass or kick here.  There is a little light clipping in a few places and you are exceeding the -14 LUFS I have attached a screen grab with Span and Youlean Loudness meter in Soundforge Pro 12 all those little red lines in the Youlean meter are indications of clipping.
 

I second getting a copy of Span, which is free, useful tool with a sizeable GUI.

You mean send all tracks to the same reverb aux?

@Michael Martinez 

Basically yes, I have a Global reverb buss, which consists of the N-type Channel emulation then the  quad Curve EQ set as described followed by Breverb with a hall type patch, totally wet no dry.  Then using the track sends I just send enough to create that gel on the whole mix.

Green eyes, red lips, dark hair is she as dangerous as she looks?  not my thing but as noted above it does sound OK here. 

That definitely sounds better @Lynn

thanks for the tips on loudness, I'll check that out.

regarding the mix, I'll redo the song, I'm going to play with levels, and I'm going to remove all the processing I'm doing on the vocals. If it's still slightly unclear at that point, I wonder if EQ-ing would help?

Always worth a touch of EQ on the vocals, just to clear the way for the bottom end Bass and Kick.  A lite slap-back delay on the vocal can be used to thicken it.   Use reverb to create a space for all the "voices/instruments" to sit within.  For that I tend to use a global reverb over the whole mix with the bottom end rolled off below around the 150hZ mark.

Your video budget looks like it has gone up Bob .  well another classic Bob, cool heavy grinding tones nice one.

Sound reasonable here, mix wise perhaps a little to much reverb on the vocal, reverb can make sounds blurred.

For levels and relative loudness you might want to checkout the Youlean loudness meter I find it very useful, there is both a free and a paid version, I purchased it after using it for about a month.

As ever nice to hear you Bat's 🙂😎

You do sound like you had fun, and the playing all sound accomplished.

Mix wise, for  what these furry ears are worth, the vocal needs a little more top end and a bass cut, roll off at about 150 hZ and perhaps a little bright reverb.  The Bass needs to be brought back a tad, with perhaps a narrow cut of 2 or 3 db around the 80 hZ mark to let the kick be a little more prominent  If you have any reverb on the Bass take it off reverb is not bass friendly.

All in all you did a pretty good job.

@thegaltieribrothers Thank you Paul.

hey wookiee!

yea, i agree with the busy drums, i've already gone in and edited all that extra stuff out there....

it makes more sense to let the thing go a bit ambient there, i've got like 6 guitars feeding back there!! LOL, don't need no stinkin' drums!

 

this version will not be messed with, because i'm actively working on the vocal version of it, which will sound quite  a bit different than this one.

but i have a bout of bronchitis right now, so wont be singing for a while!

Sorry to hear about the chest hope it clears for you soon best to you.

Quite a nice sound @Batsbrew I do wonder if the drums are a little too busy around the 2:20 mark, could just be me.  Nice sound though and the mix sounds reasonable here, is this a first pass?

Nice work chaps, very handy to have. thank you @Morten Saether and others.
