    Good job on covering this classic - I thought the lead vocal could use a bit more separation in the mix - not sure what to do - try a bit of a EQ adjustment there.

    Thanks for posting.

     

    Thanks for the the feedback on the mix! I didn't have a proper mic stand so I was sitting 

    a ways away from the mic. I think that gave a roomy kind of unclear sound to the vocals. 

    Next time I will try to have the mic closer to my face. :)

    Hi Ed,

    This is one of my favourite bluesy type songs.  You must have had fun doing this.  I certainly am not one to give advice on mixing , but for what it is worth, here are a couple of things that I noticed.  What seemed muddy to me was primarily the bass.  I couldn't quite determine where it was panned.  On my "primitive" equipment it some times sounded as if it were panned left then right.  Perhaps if the bass were centered a bit more and if it were given a little more EQ this might help define it better.  Also the drums might be EQ'ed a bit and brought forward more.  Were you using a MIDI pad for the drums?  The vocals and overall performance were good!

    Anyway, it sounds good and you have made a good start on this song! 

    Hi Freddy j. Thanks very much for the feedback on the mix!  What you are saying about the bass makes sense to me 

    and I think you have identified one of the key problems areas in the mix very well.  The drums were played on a Yamaha 

    digital drum kit, but recorded to one single stereo audio track, as my brother was not set up to record the drums 

    in multiple tracks to a multitrack DAW. What you say about adjusting the drums in the mix makes sense to me as well. Thanks again for 

    those excellent mixing tips!

    Hey ,  Loved it !  I thought the mix and playing was great.  I also think  Gale  "nailed" the head moves.  Very cool family.    mark

    I notice my audio mix sounds quite muddy and flat sounding compared to many other people's 

    audio mixes here.  😣  If anyone can give me any basic tips on how I can make my very muddy sounding audio mix 

    sound more clear it would be much appreciated!  I know my audio mix probably has lots of problems, 

    but are there a few specific key simple things that I could do to the audio mix that would help to make the mix sound more clear? 

    Am I not using enough selective frequency EQ cutting on instruments? Is that why my mix sounds so muddy?

    Baby Please Don't Go - cover.  Just having some fun jamming with some of my family members.

    Obviously we are not professional musicians. :) 

    Audio was mixed entirely in Sonar. Unfortunately my mixing skills are not the greatest.

    Sounds not too overly bad in headphones, I think, but maybe not as good on my monitors.

    Any tips on how the audio mix could be improved would be much appreciated.
