  1. a great cover of a cool sab tune, i went back and listened to your national acrobat cover, wow, that one was really close! excellent.
  2. hey 53! thanks for listening, glad you dig those guitars. it was fun tracking them. i thought about leaving that first jezebel out, like you suggest... funny you mentioned it. now, much later, i still think it works as the 'hook', it's like petty used to say, dont bore us, get to the chorus. LOL, maybe i could exchange the lyric right there with something similar, but different. i'll mull that one. daniel johnston, had never heard of him before you mentioned it here, thanks for the headsup, i will investigate.
  3. YOU DONT want to avoid frequencies, you just want to get good at mixing them at the right level. gabriel is an outlier... that album is great, but stands in it's own little corner, specifically because of arrangement decisions. if you are emulating an old gabriel recording for a specific purpose, simply NOT using cymbals cuts out a lot of high end. but i'd never place an eq over the mix just to take out certain frequencies... that gets done at the track level.
  4. thanks jack c! this one was so easy to get into the groove, i really liked this drum track for a simple rock groove.
  5. Thanks for the review, Terry! I don't know much about 80s glam, I always considered glam to be early 70's, ala T Rex and slade, bowie, mott the Hoople, that kind of stuff. I did play a lot of 80's music in traveling cover bands, it wasn't very glamorous! Heh Thanks again
  6. https://batsbrew.bandcamp.com/track/jezebel you might have heard the demo of this one, i've been trying to wrap it up, this is real close, i think. i wrote this one, using the drum track from the rolling stones' "tumblin' dice" as a template. if you stripped off all the music and played along with the drums, you could nail tumblin' dice! LOL it was just an experiment.
  7. updated mix. i like that i can update mixes to bandcamp at will, if anyone gets a copy, they can keep updating it if they're that interested... eventually, the 'trilogy' will be released on the next album. i'm getting close.
  8. that was cool! reminds me a bit of robert Palmer's more progressive stuff he did before Power Station love all the guitar ear candy the vocal stays front and center without being too loud and karaoke... nice job! like the smooth bass line.
  9. hey mark! thanks so much for the time and for the listen sometimes, a mix just has to percolate for a while....! heheh the breakdown parts were always there, but with some magic parallel processing, i just brought them out more, made them more obvious, and it puts you right in the middle of that train.... the stop to pick up more, let off a few, the speed of the vehicle is there... and then when it stops, and i've got three guitars parts revving up to gear using the whammy bar... that was fun!!
  10. the foculs are probably the best in that class, but not the best bang for buck https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/kali-audio-in8 another kali you might consider: https://tapeop.com/reviews/gear/156/in-unf-monitor-system/
  11. maybe these https://www.amazon.com/Etymotic-Research-ER3SE-Edition-Earphone/dp/B07665KVD1/ref=as_li_ss_tl?dchild=1&keywords=ER3SE&qid=1590058439&sr=8-1&linkCode=sl1&tag=andrew000a-20&linkId=023055290e86bea0f00513c8068ccdc1&language=en_US
  12. it's sad they boo'd max in austin. shameful. makes the US look bad.
  13. heh, yea, this should have always been mixed more forward and dry, the first pass (demo) was more roomy, bigger, and a little bit diffuse. well, the samples i found for the train, the people noise, the station noise, they were all 'found' samples, and even tho i know how to stereoize that sh!te, i have found that whenever i try those trick, they sound 'clownphucked' to me, so i just take em as they are. i'm really trying to get to that vibe of standing or sitting in a train that is moving at high speed, you get the feel of extreme force and finesses at the same time.. and to me, well, in my music mind, that sound would be more personal, and it'd be more close and tight. so, the mix is trying to reflect that. maybe a really good mixer would have a completely different approach, and when i'm trying to wear all hats, out of neccessity, sometimes it takes me longer to the obvious.
