Very nice.
I always try and listen to the music before I watch the videos...  just scroll down and then listen a second time.
Your video gives the track great meaning

Nice,
Little bits of ear candy flying all over the place.

Now that is beautiful song Andy

I really like this song.. as I have said before I love the vocals.
Everyone paints a different picture...  but that sound in the right speaker...  not sure what it is sounds screechy and a little bit irritating to me.
You have some amazing mixing skills Lynn,,   I learn a lot listening to your tracks.

Te Man from Uncle or  a James Bond movie 🙂

I enjoyed the song - your lead vocal works well with the song.  The mix sounds good to me.

I didn't hear the clunks - did you remove them?

Thanks for posting.

Thanks for listening.
I have just exported the song again and removed the first glitch.
I will be adding a new mastered version soon...   I've tried a professional guy and will let you all now when its done.
Very exciting to see what a professional can do.

It is just like someone has switch on a Mic and then off at the end.

Yes I hear it now.
But there are no switches... I think I have had this problem before when exporting...  I think its the Sonarworks Plugin.

Sounds OK here @garybrun though those clunks at the start and end are a little disconcerting.

I didn't notice it when I exported the song..
Not sure if its Bandlab or Sonarworks that has done it!!!

I enjoyed that a lot.
Well done... beautiful.

Nice composition:
I can imagine it being played by a full orchestra for sure.

Nice song Lynn
Vocals are Bob On.. as we say where I come from.
Quite a lot of frequencies in there... I think you've done a grand job

I thought it was good too.
Would like to know what they where singing about though...  it could be anything  🙂

I agree about the intro being a little long...  got impatient for when it was going to change.  🙂

Today I bit the bullet and plugged in my new Orion Studio to my Focals.
Some how I think it needs some sparkle/shimmer in the top end.

Well done on your composition.

Reminds me of Eurovision entry!
First I listened to the song without watching the video.
Nice production and well mixed.
I would like a little more bass... not much but it would drive it more.

Works 🙂

Thank you all for your comments.
I have remixed the above.

Yesterday after talking to me son that my music has quite a bit of plate reverb on it.
Then it was quite an eye opener as I am influenced by 80s-90s music..  which in those days had loads of reverb and bells in it   🙂
When I mix other peoples music I dont do it...  how strange is that!!!!

So I tried to mix this one with less reverb.
Also the acoustic guitar is panned central n the first few bars then I move it out to right when all the instruments kick in.
Does this give it more space?
Thanks again for all the feedback appreciated.

thanks for that too.

i know the song so hear everything in my head...  so I dont see the wood for the trees.

does the vocal need compression?

Well I have now completed my first ever song that is written by myself.
I couldn't have done it without all your advice and help.
Feeling stoked!!

Checkout the Simon's Song title in this forum and you can see the journey of improvement you all helped with.
 

Well done Steve and such a great groove.

Thanks for the trip Garry .. and in my very humble opinion I think it sounds right now, squeeze box, drums and vocal .. but most of all it's a great song 10/10 man 👌

Steve

I couldn’t have done it without you Steve.. cheers mate.

i still think it can me tuned quite a bit more...  but I think I am nearly there.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions on mix and arrangements ideas.  Hope you can see I have listened and put them to good use.

Many thanks for joining me on my journey.
Am I nearly there yet???

i haven’t done anything much with the drums...  i have been pulling my hair out for days trying to fix the accordion...  just couldn’t get it.  Then up pops Spak with a solution.   I just couldn’t see the wood for the trees!! I was doubting my room and my monitors.  Also I’m a sucker for technology and try all the latest stuff.  The Izotope stuff was saying my mix was correct but my ears where telling me it was not.

This is one of not so many times I have been stuck trying for a sound and was drawing a blank all the time.  The drums won’t be a problem...  i just needed to nail the accordion.   I think this is the only mix I have been frustrated with.  tried over and over again...  but just couldn’t get that blooming squeeze box sorted.

Thanks for the encouragement ... this is what I love about this site.

Looking at it... that’s not the gold one...  that one is Roman.

Just listened in the car...  need to take break my ears are shot : )

worse than Han the first. Lol

OK another go at Accordion.
Drums. vocal and fiddle comes later
 

Thanks SpaK... great advice.  
I don't see you as being big headed at all.
As I have said I ask for advice and comments... 

I wont people to be like my monitor speakers  🙂

The picture on SC is from my TV show on History Channel  "Hoard Hunters"
I think that was taken after I found a 40bc Gold coin  🙂
