No, stop saying that.

There are kernels of beauty in everything you do.

For instance, I burnt the waffles today, but because I was hungry, they filled me up.

OK.. Ill go and sit in the corner like a naughty pig 🙂

Hi Jerry.
You have an amazing talent in your arrangements wish I could hear what you hear in your head.
I do listen to all your tracks when you post them.

Gary, you knocked it out of the park on this one.  I admire your skills.

Thanks mate.
You have all been very helpful.
If you find some of my stuff from a while ago its really bad  🙂
I think this  is the first proper mix I have ever done and its a great feeling.

This is a great urban country rocker!  To my mind (or ears) it sounds great.  I do not like to comment on the mixes since I do not know what I am talking about.  However,  being one who loves small venue live music (sadly interrupted during the past couple of years) this genre seems to beg for the live action feel.  IMHO you  have gotten a good balance between the live feel and a good mix. 

Thanks so much @freddy j
I get caught out a little as I am a live sound guy and find it difficult to "dry" things up when mixing in the box.

Thanks mate.... DONE!

Here comes Jessie!!

I have never heard anyone who creates music like you Jessie.
Totally unique.

After taking onboard everyone's suggestions..  I think I'm done now.
Thanks everyone for all the input and suggestions.

Great tips... thanks everyone.
Now its to put them into action in a percentage way... as everyone hears things differently..  but we are on the right track.
I am learning to go with my gut feeling (what I like) its very easy to doubt yourself.

The band themselves have different ideas.
Drummer likes to be louder
Guitarist like to be louder.
Backing vocals want to be louder

You cant please everyone  🙂

That's why I love posting on here as it validates different things.
Thanks so much everyone..  Ill post the final mix soon as I take things on board.

The guitars seem a little dull,  kind of like a thin blanket over them, they need a little air. 

Thanks @KurtS  someone else told me the same.

m struggling a little now as every time I adjust one particular instrument it effects the whole mix..  I'm working on it though.

Unusual lyrical meter. Liked it a lot. Were you using ducking on the lead vox, just curious?

No ducking

Here is just the mix without vocals..  think I am getting rid of the boom??
Also added an organ, reduced delay and reverb.

Yes that what I was hearing. For the style of music it was a bit too bass heavy and not clear. I should listen again in my studio but at this moment I’m laying on a gurney in the hospital after a hernia surgery. 
What I’d do is play the track with Span on a master bus and look at the frequency spectrum. Compare that to a song you admire 

Thanks @John Vere
I have made some adjustments and also added a organ that was missing and will post later.
I just want people to rip the crap out of the song..  I wont get offended in anyway...   thats why I post.

A while ago I asked for a new forum to be created for mix and mastering where people could discuss there work and be very critical.

Hope you get well and on your feet soon John

 I like the power of this track and the way it's wide open from the intro. All of the players sound Very talented , I especially liked the Nashville style lead work. Very Nice mix and master !   The lead singer sounds like she's spent a lot of time outside of Norway , if not she sure has perfected that US southern accent.          Loved it ..  Great job ..  mark

Thanks for the comments @mark skinner I am really doubting myself..  when you play my track against another commercial country track mine sounds boomy and not enough top end.  I'm really confused at the moment.

We have another 4 tracks to go!!!

I'm thinking of sending the mix to a professional mastering engineer then at least we have a base line to work on.
Don't get me wrong..  I want the band to have its own sound and not be pigeonholed to sound like others...  but there must be a baseline??

P.s.  The SHE is a HE  🙂

Thanks mate...  good to hear coming from you.

Sorry to hear of your illness Lee.
The black dog is not good.

Music is a great way of expressing things.

Well done...

Very nice.

Your work has always impressed me.
