Nio , The mix sounds plenty wide enough now after this listen.  What is sticking out to me in this mix is the high percussion instrument that comes in right about 1/2 way thru the song. It's pretty brittle , like you need to roll some highs off of it. It comes in again close to the ending and it's a little distracting on the my normal listening headphones.

I also think the vocals could have a little more impact. They sound like they were recorded well , timing and pitch is spot on. The copy you have to work with may have been a little too compressed. I think now it's a reverb adjustment that could bring it to life.  They sound a little flat without much depth. Maybe a more agressive reverb with a fairly long pre-delay would do it .  ??   Sounds like you are willing to get this sounding as good as possible. I'm sure your former bandmates will appreciate it.             mark

Hello Mark, I appreciate your advice, I take note and I will let you know when the next update goes up. All the best

Nio , I like the energy and the timing changes in this. Guitar playing was Nice as well.  If you could widen the mix a little without causing problems , I think it would improve the mix a little.           Enjoyed it ..  mark

Thanks mark. I'm still working on the issue and have made some changes. I have changed the VST for the bass, and I have also modified some volumes and final mix. There is still a lot left to finish it.
You can hear the update I uploaded.

A cordial greeting..

Agree with KS re the kick

You can hear some artefacts on the vocals but not drastic

Apart from that sounds pretty good

That's right, the voice has some artifacts that I haven't been able to eliminate, it's the best I've been able to isolate the vocal track from the cassette.

Thanks for participating in the thread

Sounds pretty good, the vocal is fine. I found the kick kind of distracting, don't love the sound of it and it might be too loud in general.

Thank you for writing your comment. I think you're both right about the kick, it sounds a lot and I'm going to touch that up.

We have just launched our video of "The Song"
I'm on the mixer  🙂

 

Hobo Train - "The Song"

Value your thoughts people.
Thanks for looking

Impeccable sound.  Beautiful ballad..

Hello friends, today I bring a song that is almost finished, it only needs a guitar solo and some other final adjustments.
I have not been able to improve the girl's voice (a bandmate at that time) since I have isolated it from a cassette recording from 1998. Let's see what you can tell me about the mastering or the sound in general.

A hug
Nio sebez

I am attaching the digitized mp3 of the cassette where the demo was recorded in 1998, which I used to make the cover. Also a photo of that band. I am the guitarist

Oh thank you very much, it seems that it worked by deactivating that button. I am very grateful to you. Happy New Year 2024!

Sorry

Turn off ripple edit.

I can't find that option. Is it on the screen I put?

I have done what you told me and everything seems fine, but the problem persists. I provide a video capturing the screen so that it is easier to understand what is happening to me.

Hello, okay, I'll try what you tell me. I just installed a version from last October and the problem continues. Right now I'm running an antivirus and when it's done, I'll try your advice.

Thanks, I'll tell you later...

Hello everyone. I want to raise the problem that I have been suffering for several days now. Something that had never happened to me before, and I have been using Cakawalk for more than 15 years.

This is a kind of poltergeis that happens when, for example, copying and pasting part of a track in a later measure, and things like that. It turns out that by doing that, it erases midi or audio information, divides tracks, or separates the recording, making cuts anywhere. Of course, it disrupts the whole project for me. This way it is impossible to work.

Is this happening to anyone else? I already said that I have been using cakecalk for more than 15 years and it has never happened to me?

Greetings and please, I need help.

Nio Sebez

PD.  Sorry for my English, it's not my native language

This is the version I've made of a flamenco piece of music. I've given it a rock touch, to turn it into Andalusian Rock!

¡Saludos cordiales para ti! Buenas trompetas, buena interacción entre las trompetas y las frases de la guitarra, la mezcla suena bien, es muy fácil ver esto como una pieza en una serie de televisión. Disfruta lo que has creado a partir de él.

Thank you my friend!

I like it.  It has an infectious rhythm pattern and I really enjoy the effect on the trumpet.

😀John B

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. I continue to outline the trumpet, there are parts where I want it more sharp. That's my problem, I'm never satisfied.

Hello friends, I want to present you the last piece of music that I have finished. It is a version of a song that appeared in a television series in the 70s here in Spain "Curro Jimenez", a "bandolero", a kind of Robin Hood of the time.  The piece of music is titled "Sentimiento" (Feeling)

I hope you like it. A cordial greeting!

Here new updates:

Here below I put the original version os same song from the 70s

Here's a song I sadly can't take credit for - it was written by a mostly acoustic duo called My Whisper, but I had my greasy mits all over the recording, mix, master and production, as well as the video clip and various other bits and pieces to fill out the sound.

The first album we did last year was very much a "keep it as stripped back as possible" kind of affair, really sticking to enhancing the sound of a duo/band in a small club just doing great songs, but on this song (and the upcoming album) we kept the core of that philosophy but really ventured out a bit into pop territory.

Anyway, hope you guys dig it! And if you like it, give 'em a follow on their socials!

 

 

Very good song and interpretation in the video. Congratulations!

this song is the first song i've written using just the new Tele i had built.
song uses different amps for the rhythms, left and right (vox and marshall)

this is the third in a trilogy of songs inspired by Formula One racing.
the song is about the final winner, from any team, any year.

Very good guitar sound. I liked it a lot in general.

Hello Nio, that was very nice.  I really like your choice of sounds.  I found the guitar part interesting in the way it was above the driving music.  I did enjoy it and look forward to hearing more.

What vocal library is that?  What is your guitar setup?

I found your English to be just fine; it is much better than my Spanish!

 

 

 

Hey, thanks for your comment. For the voices and instrumentalization I have used Strezov Choir Essentials and Tha orchestra Complete2, for Kontakt.

The truth is that I was pleasantly surprised by the versatility of these tools. The truth is that I have been pleasantly surprised by the versatility of these tools. I will keep working on that path.

Friends, I leave you my last work. For me it is important since it is the first result of my experimentation with this style that could be called epic music.
I have played classical instruments such as violins, violas, cellos and double basses. Also on percussion it resonates medieval.

After so much Pop and Rock I wanted to vary and I think I'll continue down this road a little more.

I hope you like it and my English is well understood.
A hug to all!

Nio

Ok  Thank you, i will try 

Hello friends from Spain.

I would like to ask you a question related to the equalization of the electric bass.

I usually use Ezbass, and I have noticed that when I listen to my basses on a cell phone, mine are barely audible compared to the professionals, they are louder and clearer.

I guess it has to do with equalization. Do you know any easy trick to fix this? It seems silly, but many people only listen to the songs on their cell phone, not from good speakers, at least the first time.

I put 2 samples as an example.

I can imagine a lyric line and vocals but it sounds good as it is too.

🙂John B

Hi John, I know what you mean, I'm also getting used to hearing it without voices and, in the catchiest part, it's not missing much. The truth is that from the beginning I wanted to write a somewhat philosophical text about things that I have read that say that it happens after death, and that we become reunited with loved ones, although perhaps not with all of them.
That's why I'm having a hard time finding the right words so that the lyrics don't get too cheesy, or too silly. I want it to be simple, but deep. Inspiration hasn't hit me yet.
In addition, I need to create a variation, a kind of bridge before the last chorus...

Thank you for your words, and also those of the other colleagues, I appreciate them very much 🙂

Sorry my english, I used google traslator

Good song, and the video too. Very professional.

Congratulations!

Hello dear friends, I present to you the work I am doing. It's a simple song, at the moment it has no text, and maybe I gave it an instrumental, (sometimes I find it hard to write) 😞

I have titled the musical piece "We will meet again", and it is not finished yet, especially in the first part something is missing, and the part, let's say, of the chorus, I repeat it too much, that's why I will make some changes before terminate it

"Nos volveremos a encontrar | We will meet again"
