Ooh I like the mood in this. Yeah this is nice. I had to turn it down a bit though to clear it up. But when I did it really came through very nice and balanced on my end. Love it!  The witch put her spell on me! 

Thanks Dean ( and the PM )

Keep looking behind you  .... OOoooo

Well .. I kinda like the melody and of course the wonderful lyrics so thanks for posting them.

For my ears I feel this mix is a little too thin in parts, but that may have  been your intention so as to feel the word fragile ...  danno.

Anyway love the message and good work 👍 and Ho  have a great Xmas

Very well made bit of work.

With regard to the other comments and the lack of bass, IMO (and due to the fact I was accompanying this in the studio with strings) I feel a lower register strings pad could help fill out the overall mix and would also make the lyric work a little better. For my part I think the mix is fine though.

You know Lynn, you have a lot of the Beatles chord changes in this and I could hear Harrison doing this one.

You have the toy I want for the new year, I've invested in Ni's Maschine plus bit'n'bobs and Keys2 would be a step too far at the moment but just to say it sounds great soo ... .

Hi, Supa Reels, thanks for the reply! I guess both tapes and videocassette player are good, as I can connect them to a television and the videos are OK!
I believe it could be something related to Windows or my notebook.

By the way I searched the expression "picture azimuth" and found some imagens of an artist which are close to what I got on my second EasyCap - a very buggy image! See an example:
https://robsheridan.threadless.com/designs/analog-vhas-glitch-noise-01/home/rug/premium 

So as MyGica iGrabber is giving me a less buggy image I'll see if I can find a solution!
However I'll try some drivers on the site Glenn Stanton sugested, for my first EasyCap!
Thanks!

You are welcome 👍

From what you posted I'm thinking the source was the problem, when the recording from the VHS machine it looks like it had not been adjusted for picture azimuth .. if you still have the original tapes, my feeling is to use a professional company for the transfer ... Long ago I made a few bob doing just that but the kit is not  really available now.

This is one of my favorites .. a real message here with a smooth mix . great stuff 👍 ( PS it's a great track full blast while driving 😎)

Stay well Nigel&Crew

Steve

Have to say I hate covers done here, as there is nothing (usually) better than the original .. BUT my god ! is this a good cover Joe Cocker would love you for this 👍😎

THAT is a real piece of rack gear woooooow an' just under 2 grand 😲

Got cage nuts if you've run out  ... just sayin'

I own DT 1990 and they’re excellent with corrective EQ but the DTnn0 are literally painful to listen to even WITH EQ.

I, like so many of us , have too many cans, but it's interesting to hear that you feel the 1990s are good HPs. The 770 were purchased for their closed back so as to record vocals, however I just couldn't wear them for long periods .. the wife would leave me if I brought some 1990 but I'll put it on the back burner .. so cheers mate

Good price for an atrocious sounding piece of trash. The Beyer peak is real.

I purchased some DT770 pro's  some 5 years ago ( just under 200.00 quid) and I have to agree Beyer are fools gold and  are bloody awful ..would NOT recommend these at all ....

I have the 18i20 3rd gen and as said you should just import the loop (or record) to the chosen stereo I/p' then allocate and use the 8 inputs from you drum recording to your DAW ( making 10 tracks )

In this way you can manipulate individual as necessary to create a final mix.

Other than that you would have to invest in a something like an Scarlett OctoPre Dynamic (or similar)  to give you a total of the full 18 inputs to the DAW .. not cheap. This would give track it's own individual processing (depending on mike position etc)

But as said .. not really sure of the problem you want to overcome

Hi mate,

I've not always been positive with your stuff, in that I always thought you were rhyming one sentence with another that I felt too was easy for you as  you have a strong and wonderfully rich voice ..

This piece of work, and for ever the reason for you writing and singing it has everything a love song should have although I do feel you hold the phrases a little long, this is a wonderful love song with message and meaning that draws you in and when it ends, you need to play it again...

For what it's worth .. well done from me, and it gets a 10/10

PS did I get a bit of EAGLES there at the end ... 😉

Could just me not being new to my new studio layout but I found the bass just a little to forward in the opening phase, other than that very nice mix.

Could be the just new layout mate .. Thanks for the comment though

Stay well

Steve

Hand on heart I wish I could have been there .. great song and vid

I mix with monitors until a mix sounds great on other speakers, in the real world.  Any mix that passes that test also sounds great on decent headphones.

Bit late to the party but all of my mixes are produced with various O/P sources having gone through the HOOK test ...  gonna keep that one.

I wonder how much we've all spent over the years on H/phones/ear buds ( and these I hate ) but.. and studio monitors just to get it right for most people that don't really care  as long as it's hot ... Hmm ( I think that's what WHOISP was getting at .. or not )

Good old beat with a Xmas message ... all good mate .. and who cares about the mix 🤗

SR

Not my kind of stuff as I don't get the lyric but the mix is fine and clean
