Very clever... Nice low end. We all paint different pictures... Could be a little more "crispy" for me. Steven Slate plugin "Fresh" would have brought it out Im sure.

Nice Tom. This is different from other stuff I have heard from you. Bassline is funky!! Clever lyrics. Love the 04.37 bit... lol We all paint very different pictures.. To my ears the synth verb (horns) seems not to fit into the overall picture when it first comes in and seems a little tinny. (2.52) and I am hearing some distortion in the composition. (just my ears).

The guitars sound very harsh on my Focals. (very distorted and over powered on the left) Have you mixed this for a long period of time? This is how my mixes go when spending too much time on them. I agree with what Mark says. This is just my opinion as we all paint very different pictures. sound very beetlish to me.. 🙂

Not my genre... but very good mix.

I have a good computer... but no TPM 2.. so I fail. 🙂 wdit... do have TPM and have installed win11 without any problems.

Andy I thought this was a great song. Great lyrics and harmonies in the right place and also what a great piano sound. The vocal has a lot of emotion... have you tired without melodyne/autotune? Our own vocals always sounds worse in our own heads 🙂 Your voice reminds of an artist Graham Kendrick from years ago in my teen years. Well done.

Here comes Jessie!! This is more melodic than people may think. I am learning to get around the tones that make me cringe!! 🙂

You and Jessie need to get together.

Will come back to these... and listen when I get time this next week.

Noynekker covered what I would recognise. Nice vocal and backing vocals. This is going to be goodun!

@Bajan Blue thanks for taking the time Nigel ... appreciated.

@mark skinner Thanks for taking the time to listen and your opinions are appreciated. @freddy j Thanks also Freddy. I agree about the warmth. Yesterday I went for a hearing test as I have never had one before. Working in entertainment for many years with loud music... I thought it was about time. I found that I have lost some ability in the 4k range.. but need to study how this stuff works a little more. I use Sonarworks software to give me a flat room and also slate vsx for my headphones. (H=Left and V=Right) Now Im thinking... if I take this curve in the graphic and offset it against those two softwares... maybe I can improve my mixes. Just a thought.

@Wookiee Cheers mate... thanks for taking the time to listen.

@noynekker thanks for taking the time to listen and your kind comments. Really appreciated. Your thoughts on the first mix (second one on the post here) are the same as mine after review. Can you hear the rumble in it when Emelie's mic kicks in... 50-60htz I think. YES I love my studio.. its a dream come true.

@David Sprouse thanks for thee feedback. i don’t have a consumer stereo.

@Lynn Wilson thanks for taking the time to listen. I personally am having problems with 'esses. Maybe its just me hearing it too much.

@Ruralrocker2010Thank so much for taking time to listen. Here is my first mix... you can hear rumble on the vocal? Or is this one better than the one above? *

I have revisited this track as I found a few problems with it. My son is on piano and my daughter is vocals. This was sung live at a wedding.. so it is a live recording and has a few mistakes... but thats what I like about live. In my original mix there was some "hum" when Emelie was singing which I really have not heard until now as I have changed monitors and headphones. (the older you get the more expensive your toys) There is still a little their on Emelie's voice. Have I over compensated in the middle frequencies and added to much harshness?? Thanks in advance people. Gary

Very nice Tom. Relaxing for sure and a great clear mix too.

Brilliant Mark. Love your vocal and harmonies... balance is brilliant. Guitar work... MMMmmmmm... nice! Wacked up the volume on my Focals without subbase.. no comments here at all. I'd print this one... love it.

Here comes Jessie!! He's on fire!!

Very nice.

Hi Jack. We all paint very different pictures and these are just my opinions and I am not in anyway trying to take away from your composition.. I think I've said it before when I listen to your music... its sounds like its smashed and clipping. All to do with dynamic range. I can see on your wave file it is not though... I would work on the mid range and separation in the stereo field.

This isn't my genre but the subject is 🙂 00:15 I cant really hear the lyrics... but is that intention so I have to zoom in? Maybe could be more upfront... ?? we all paint very different pictures.... and these are my opinions 03.57- 04.26 I would bring the vocals up a touch... also find it hard to hear to "walk the shadows" near the end. Again... "walk through the shadows" nearing fade out Brilliant production and arrangement. Well done.

I listened to this once again Barry, Really great poetry.
