Thanks guys...
I'll look at it again tomorrow as my ears are shot now  🙂

  I have started on my first ever 40 channel mix.
I will post all revisions and how the mix has developed below... I reckon there will be quite a few!!
Could I have your opinions please?

Thanks you for your ears and advice.

Funky!
Look forward to the album.. I will be the first in line to buy it.

Big improvement Kurt.
Very nice.

Do you have their notation software?

Me like  🙂

Congratulations Steve

I agree with muffled.. was mastered with less highs by cloudbounce.
At first I thought there was too much highs and got the system to add warmth and reduce highs.
You also listening to a small mp3

It was a great exercise..  I don't know much about guitar tones.. nor can I replicate Tom Petty stuff.
I have never listened to him, but know many are influenced by his records.
Looking back now I see that the mix isn't very well balanced panning wise.
But when you are caught up in something its so easy to miss.

In the mix I had a lot of busses set up.. which caused me panning problems in the end.. so I have learnt from that.
I did start the mix in mono.. so when it sounds ok there with eq and you can hear instruments.. then you are halfway there.
But it takes some discipline not to touch the pan knobs  🙂

I would have loved for someone to program a better drum track.. I reckon that would take the song up another level.

All in all it was a great experience and learning curve for sure.
Thanks for sharing the project and stems.. very much appreciated.
 

Thats one classy drummer..
Nice panning..  guitar player aint bad too  🙂

Listening again on my IEMs while my wife is having some tests at the hospital.

beautiful track and the mix is excellent.

i don’t know how it could be improved.

Beautiful Tim.

We all paint very different pictures...  I believe it would sound even better with less reverb.

That's an impressive live performance - and I thought the mix sounds quite good - despite the difficulties you described  with mixing live performances- well done.

Thanks Douglas for taking the time to listen.

Great job Mark

Happy New Year.
Looking forward to the untold stories and melodies.

Loved it Miles.
Been there... done that.
Loved the shaker  🙂

Well done.
Very nice.

To fill that 8hz hole back in, I duplicated the Woodcester track with a Noire felt, which also brought along some bass sustains that were pretty cool.

I recognised the Noire as I have that...  but dint know how you got you "pianos" to sound that way and couldn't work it out!
I would never have thought about blending 3.. learnt something new today  🙂

Very nice Tom.
Beautiful... sounds great on my Focals.
Which felt piano is that?
I also recognise some of the samples.

I live in Norway so no all about winter in fact I haven't been in long as I have been snow ploughing.

Can't get much more authentic to the original than this which actually surpasses it in terms of the mix/mastering.

Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment.
