Very clear mix,
Reminds me of  Norwegian artist Morten Harkett from the 80's group Ah-Ha.
His music is very similar. 
I enjoyed the reverb and thought it was well done and the mix was wide
Nice mixture of different electronic instruments

I can hear thereverb tails well on my Focal monitors.

Had a feeling it could be a POD. Bob Oister uses one and I love the tone they have.

I have to admit, I am not a big a fan of  Line 6. I don't like many of their amps, but I am a fan of the original POD tones.

I had a Line 6 POD 2.0 back in the day and tweaking the Mesa Boogie triple rectifier preset was perfect for tape.

I use them for ideas.
I also have the Valleta II amp they made.
My pain amp is a Fender Deluxe Reverb which has been modded with original 1960's tubes and a little studio mod.
Im not really a electric guitar player... my son is though.
 

I understood what you where trying to achieve but I believe a tempo change would help the mix a lot  more.
My brain couldn't track all the different parts so quickly...   I kept wanting to go back and listen to a part but it was gone in a flash!  🙂

 

To be real honest it is not my style of music that I listen to.

You have a great voice and the harmonies are great.
Guitar work is fantastic.
As I work professionally within video production I know and appreciate the work that has gone into making it.

I have the latest Slate Digital drums...  just learning to program them.
I have posted a rock project a few hours ago which was my first go at drums.

Thanks for taking the time to comment on peoples tracks and mixes.
Its appreciated.

Gary

catchy tune

Its amazing what slate drums and a waves plugin on straight guitar 🙂
Line 6 Pod and Its is a Les Paul double tracked then panned left and right.
Here you can see settings and buss.

Recorded last night.
This is a rough test..  still needds bass adding and harmonies.
The harmonies added are just for guide which I created for the singer with Necter 3.

If anyone would like to have a go at the bass line... let me know.
Thoughts so far would be appreciated.
Many thanks as always,

Gary

That drumming is mental 🙂

same here..

Electronic Country 🙂

Listening to your mix on my Focals.
Comes across well... why I think of Tubular Bells I dont know??
Could see it being used in a documentary or corporate use?

Hi Bjørn.
I enjoyed your composition and it sound really good through my Focal Trio6 be,
Well done.

Hi folks.

Thought some might find these helpful.
Good list of reference tracks.

I take it this isn't a sad song. Has a nice uplifting feel to it. Great mix Gary. I hope to hear more. I only wish I knew Norwegian good enough to tell what they are saying. Oh well.

HI and thanks for taking the time to listen.
Its not a sad song... its praising our village and how it looks and activities that go on within it.

What a beautiful song!!

I am listening through my Focal monitors and it sounds great.

I agree with emeraldsoul about backing down the vocals a little bit.

Out of the three I would say two.
Nr three sounds to much like brass.

If you want to send me the midi files for the cello I dont mind sending you a wave file back as I have quite a few expensive samples.

Hi, Gary,

Really good song!  Well performed and arranged, nicely recorded and the mix sounds great!🙂

Really cool, that's the first time I've ever heard "Scandinavian Country-Western", but the pleasant melodies, harmonies and excellent mix would fit in very nicely on the Classic Country radio stations here in the states!

Of course, I couldn't understand the lyrics,(Something? in My Heart?), but it sure sounded great!👍

Fantastic work, Gary, have a wonderful weekend!
Bob

Thanks for listening Bob,
Kråkstad...  is the village where I live.
The song is about our village and its in our hearts.

This is really my first completed mix of a song.
Been spending most of my time learning and tuning ears etc over the years.
I have been a cakewalk user since the very beginning and still use the VS-700 system with the BandLab version.

To be honest I've been an entertainer for many years and Im loosing some of my hearing (55yrs old) especially in the human speech range.
Too much working with loud music over the years but reference tracks help to counteract for that.

Mostly work with live sound, video editing and do quite a few Voice Over projects.
As Im retired now I plan to spend more time with my first love..  MUSIC!  🙂

Wonderful melody and performance. I really like the country flavor of the song such that I was expecting a fiddle in a couple of spots there.

Thanks for listening Bjørn.
I agree about the fiddle... would love to have one in there too.
Not sure I have ever mixed one though...  200 - 16k if its the same as a violin??

The Shyriiwook converter made no sense of the lyrics, but the music had a cool bounce and vibe and the mix sound good here.

Thanks a lot O Fluffy One  🙂
