    What a great tune and production in what is I think southern blues pop style, much like Tedeschi Trucks etc.   Pro quality like from a million $ studio.   B3 though in the background adds the icing on the cake!

    Thank you Michael for the taking the time to comment and listen.

    First time hearing "I've Been Down" and Hobo Train.  The song and delivery reminds me A LOT of early Rascal Flatts songs.  How does a lead singer for a Norwegian Country Band develop such a strong southern accent?  :)

    While listening through headphones I'm hearing two background vocalists that are spread wide left and wide right.   There is not much, if any background vocalist near the center.  The left channel vocalist seems to be more prominent and above the musical instrument tracks while the right channel vocalist seems to sometimes get lost in the musical instrument tracks.  Hopefully these are things you expect the listener to hear.

    Great use of effects.  Very clean and clear sounding mix.  Nice dynamics.  Dog gone good.

    Hi Jim.
    Thanks so much for taking the time to listen and comment.
    You are spot on with your comments and it is what we as a band are working on with the mix.
    Thomas (lead singer) likes Rascal Flatts songs.  🙂
    Kristin (Left)  Laila (Right) needs some automation.

    We plan to have another mix session later... and release on Spotify.
    We have one track out there and need to follow up quite soon.
    The Song - Hobo Train
    Thanks again for the comments and listen....  you have a very good ear!!


    Cheers,

    Thanks, I appreciate the offer. I want to first talk to Leandra (the singer) to see what she thinks.  Personally  I don't think it's a problem at all but I don't want others to think it is if it detracts from the piece.  On the other hand, my critics are going to be my critics no matter what I do, so there's that to consider!

     

    Hi Jerry.
    I'm sorry I mentioned it now..
    Not many listen the way we do

    Go with your gut!

    Hey Gary,

    Do you think I should ask my vocalist to re-record the places where there's some clipping?  Did it detract from the artistic communication?  I'm wondering because if you heard it others with trained ears will also...

    Thanks,

    Jerry

     

    Hi Jerry..
    Depends what you want to do with it.
    I don't think it distracted from the artist communication at all.
    If you want to send me the vocal..  I might be able to fix it for you.

    Hi Jerry I'm just listening on my Focal Trio system.
    So you knew it was there... I didn't until I heard it  🙂
    I checked again... without the hard disk going at the time as I was copying something to HDD
    My  C drive SSD so I wont get it from there.
    (That's good... shows my system is working well  🙂)

    I am learning how to critical listen.

    I didn't want to detract from your composition.. and my question about your reverb was because I liked it.
    I also agree with your comments on your singers ability.
    Great job and I have always liked your work.

    Very nice Jerry
    What reverb system do you use?
    When I listen some parts of the vocal is there clipping/peaking on the compression/limiter? 02.13 +
    Could be my system as my disk is working a little-- will check again later.

    I Totally agree with Andy's description of this track.

    A well established writer in Nashville (worked with him in my day job) once told me ..

    "Never quit working on the song you are working on"   

    This is a perfect example of that.   If you had pulled the plug on this one earlier , it would have never gotten to this point.

    Fantastic performance and mix/master.       Love it ..  mark 

     

    Thanks Mark.
    You always play a part in my process and I really value your opinions.
    Thanks mate.

    Hope it works now.

    I  wanted it to be viewable only by the link as I didn’t want to mix private with the business side of things.
    please let me know if it works.

    Thanks.
