You and I have a bit of history ... It's a damned good mix ... Never used that desk but I done a bit in me time and you should be proud ! You've come a long way mate  ( and I sound patronizing but that is far from the intention of my comment )

Thanks so much Steve.

how wonderful and such a beautiful voice!!!!!!!jack c.

Thank you Jack...  the guy is really a mega star and its an honour to be trusted to do the job.

Thanks Steve.
Looking back there would be a lot I would have done differently on levels etc.

The thing is because it is live streaming... there is no PA..  just monitors and I have too also monitor with my IEMs.
You push the master buss harder than you normally would with a PA to get the levels out.
Very different way of working and the decision are very quickly made.

This  is a song I was working on this Sunday...  one of twelve to be honest.
A live Christmas concert with one of the artist being Christian Ingebrigtsen who is famous for being in the band "A1".
The song is about what was Josephs thoughts when he heard Mary was pregnant and would have a son.

Live sound is tricky as you have to react fast.
Quite a few artists one after another.. different eq settings and different monitor requirements..
I was sweating on this one.
In a studio you have time to fix things... with "live" you just go for it and try not to make huge changes that people notice  🙂

Pretty cool Gary ! Didn't you do this one last year ? Sweet production. Poof, another year on the Cake forum. You've certainly got another gear on those low notes that not many have, just like Bing did I guess, maybe that's why they named a browser after him, LOL. Thanks for kicking off that Christmas feeling for me ! . . . a very merry Christmas to you and yours.

EDIT: The snowmen are my new desktop, classic fun.

Yes... I di do it last year... but remixed it as I believe my skills are improving.

Thank you @jack c. and @Douglas Kirby

Hi Mark.
This is more of a tighter sound than I am used from you (dry).
Would also agree with the bass comments.
I don't think you have that far to go regarding bass volume though... I think its a tone thing and its just masked?

Very well done.
As a video editor I know how much time this has taken you.

This may help someone.

There was a hole in the wall and the police are looking into it.

I have had stage fright once...

As a singer and conferencier now for many years..
Someone told me to pick someone out of the audience and just focus on them and speak to them normally as you would every day.
best advice I was ever given.
I can perform to 1000's and don't feel nervous at all.

I used to be a really shy guy with a bad stutter...  the first time I went busking cured that  🙂
 

I have been with Cakewalk since day 1.
Also invested in Vs Studio system and still use it now (except the rack unit) with my Apollo X8p.
I have owned a lot of the Presonus mixers which I have used for Live Sound Engineering but still always use Cakewalk for my every day use.
I know it, Love it,  and Im not willing to re-learn different DAWS as its a waste of my time.

I have licences to the Presonus stuff if anyone would like them?

Very nice.
There are quite a few Christians on this forum 🙂

I have a lot of songs I wrote when I was a younger man that I havnt got down to record yet.
Maybe we could collaborate on a few that I think fits your style of playing.

God Bless mate.

Nice...
What samples/software did you use?

Congrats on your YouTube  hits.
Thats great.

Nicely played
