ha! you mean, getting older...

yea, i don't have the range i used to have on the tenor end, that's for sure.

 

i guess as i continue to downtune guitars, my voice will follow! LOL,

thanks for listening, glad you like this stuff.

No... its was good.
I meant it as a compliment  🙂

Well done Bruce.
Nice vocal.

Did you mix it yourself?

we all paint different pictures.. on my system I would bring forward the vocals just a little bit more,

Nice vocal and a really nice low range.
Spring reverb works well.
Well done.

I can hear how your voice has matured over the years.

Its very sad!

This document shows you the improvements etc.
Sonar

Think I remember this one.

Geez, it's not that bad. I'm new to this forum, and not a pluginster like sounds like you guys are. 

You will find we are all very polite on here..
Why did you ask for feedback?

I also think les verb would be better... except it makes your trumpet sound a "little more real"... is that why you chose it?
Spitfire Audio Labs Trumpet Fields is free and will sound better than the one you have.

I guess this is one example of being satisfied with a basic Ozone AI master, against one done by a competent audio wizard using his ears.  No comparison ..       Thanks Gary.    mark

I am not a "competent audio wizard".. wish I was though!!
Just learning new things and experimenting.
I learned everything I know on here... and other courses etc.
One advice is...  "If it sounds good... it usually is" and you don't need all the meters.

I use the meters as the last part of my chain just to check.
But it helps a lot when you have good recorded and worked out mixes  (your good at that Mark)
The saying "crap in and crap out) is spot on and you cant polish a turd!!

You should post the before and after so people can learn and hear the difference.
Banldlab would be good for that... I can do it if you like?

I’m having to reinstall everything after a hard disk problem. I’m thinking about upgrading to Windows 11 and using my old Sonar Platinum installation files to get everything I had before along with Cakewalk by BandLab.

Has anyone else here reinstalled from scratch on Windows 11 and how successful was it?

Windows 11 works fine and I have had no problems whatsoever.
I even installed Sonar 8.5 and it worked too.

@noynekker...  Thank You.
I mastered it privately for Mark as I love his sound.. and he asked if he could publish it.
Just purchased the ARC Studio and this was the first song I have ever tried it on.. and I am pleased with the result.
Some of the comments have mentioned adding a melody.
I think it doesn't need it personally.

I really like Marks music and his voice.. so I have great picture in my mind when I listen to it.
I haven't listened to it on headphones yet.. will give it a try now.

Sonar 6?  🙄
Wow that was a while ago. Why not just download Cakewalk for Bandlab while it's available,  cause it won't be for long when they go back to Sonar.

Read here for ~~> THE ANSWER, I rember that conversation like it was yesterday.

Thats a blast from the past!

Hi Pete.
Great tracks and great mixing skills too.
Sounds fantastic on my Focal Trio 6.

Everything is very clear and has its own space... especially the percussion side of things.  (I would struggle with that myself).
Guitar tones are excellent.  (I bought the Kemper for my son and his Sandberg bass... amazing piece of kit).
Reverb is perfect too.
Too be honest I cant find any constructive criticism for this mix.

Regarding video..  you have some skills there too.
What cameras are you using?

I use Premiere.
Had Vegas years ago.. but then beta tested for Adobe for a number of years and stuck to that.

Anyway.. lot of effort has gone into that production and it sounds great.
Well done.

When I see disable HT I  find it hard to follow any advice from the author.

Its not just the author I have followed I've checked around.
Forget the HT... it all works and I have a massive improvement.
The secret is to take what you can use and what you can not.
the proof of the pudding is in the eating.
Im stuffed  🙂

 Hello , here's an instrumental I've just finished up. I'm sharing the melody with a nylon acoustic , cello , and bass guitar. I'm not sure of the genre ??   It's got an Indian feel. I've been on that kick lately. Any suggestions for improvement , crits will be appreciated. 

Thanks ..   mark

Hi Mark.
I think sounds great pal.
Nice panning and you've nailed the eq on that kick sound...

Nice Mark, this is the first third party track I have listened to using the ARC Studio room correction Box.

Hi @Wookiee
I just bought this too..  you happy with it?
I find it really brings my bass and vocals more forward.
Also I have it on the default curve after correction... do uou?
Don't need my Sonarworks and mic anymore.

Hi Jack.
You mixing skills are improving mate.
Well done.

Gary

I also do the same..
I thought I could here different reverbs..  that's why I asked.

Nice Jerry.
I have a question regarding reverb spaces.
Are they all in the same space or are using different ones?

Well done Paul.
Lyrics are great.
Somehow reminds somehow of Glen Cambell ?

Love it Mark.
Brilliant pal.

Congrats on your Album Steve:
Well done mate...  I even struggle to finish one of my own songs let alone an album full,  🙂

If I could pick three my favs in the list are:
Fallen.
Are We Lovers (anymore)
Grey

Your manage to get emotions and truth in your vocals.
Brilliant pal.

With the ARC studio hardware you no longer need to bypass the ARC software as it is only in the signal path to your monitors it is not in the mix path.

And  that's why I ordered it.
I don't need to add any plugins or forget to switch them off when bouncing 🙂
I can also hear everything at calibration level,  YouTube Spotify Bluetooth etc.
I was looking to get the Trinnov...  but I don't need that now.  🙂

I believe this will sell a lot of product for them.

Well done mate.
Sounds great.
