Man, this brings back memories. One of the last songs I ever sang for my mom. A classic of classics. Great job and wonderful to hear. Lovely, well-mixed voice 'n band/instruments. Thanks so much! ??

Thank you so much Martin.
I also decided to do it for my grandparents who are no longer here.
Just reminded me so much about them.. they loved Roger W.

I'd have to hear the before and after mastering to tell but it sounds pretty good on my old Sony headphones.

@KSband

Very nice acoustic sounds and separation.
Great vocal too Barry with good lyrics.
Is the other instrument a clarinet?

Well done.

 

Yes that's different.
I use a Corsair AX16000 and could have done with that extension.

Nice wide mix

We all paint different pictures..    I would bring the drum and bass up a little more.

WhOo no dig mate, but godda say it's not what you see .. more what you hear ...  I see from the graph the 1 and2k are in scope, strange 'cause I still feel the vox is a little toppy on the 'S' & 'Ts'

Just my cans I spose

Love ya man ?

@Supa Reels
Hi Steve.
I never saw it as a dig at all mate.. honest.
It may not be... you maybe correct.
That's why I'm waiting for other opinions.

I love all the feedback from everyone..  I never get offended by anything that's why I ask.
Cheers for coming back with the feedback.
All the best as always,

Gary

Great sound here Gary great mix too. Only one crit there seems to be a tad too much high end on the vox .. but.

Steve

Thank you for the listen and comments Steve.

To be honest I cant here the high end being oven done.
But I'm willing to hear other opinions on that  ?
But we all paint different pictures.

I just recently bought myself the new I.K. Multimedia ARC Studio and believe I am hearing more details in my Focal Trio 6's.
I would value your thoughts and comments.

Or Sound Cloud.

Thanks in advance,

Gary

@garybrun . . . Thank you for your ears ! . . . yes, I'm the guilty mixer here

The vocals are running through a Nectar 3 vocal chain with dynamic EQ, de-esser, saturation, reverb (with rolled off highs and lows), small hint of compression, but it also it uses an Auto Level setting . . . which is very touchy . . . I'll have a closer look at that.

Remember this is just my personal opinion on the vocals.
The reverb sets it back as the guitars are in a different space.
Some people when they mix their own vocals put it back a little in the mix..  not like guitarists   ?

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.

Gary

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.
