Hidden Symmetry 485 Posted April 1 (edited) Final Mix Edited April 11 by Hidden Symmetry 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeeringAmps 416 Posted April 1 track8, a little impersonal a title; this was a lot of hard work I'm thinking. I'm loving the guitar, and them horns is tres sexy! Is that a wah, as in your foots on it? Or something programmed? Your chops are killin' me dude, you're "schoolin' the hell outa me"! I'm a guitar player so the horns are a bit loud when doubled up with the guitar. That kick is so working for me on this one... thumbs, Thumbs and more t 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hidden Symmetry 485 Posted April 9 Getting close to final mix & masters, need to know if this mix is in the ballpark..Is the gtr, solo at 1:30 too loud? thanks & be safe... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lmu2002 20 Posted April 9 This is very nice! It's hard to judge the mix because I enjoy the music and playing so much. I get a lot of Mezzoforte vibe here A couple of things you could try to improve this further: - everything sounds nice open wide stereo but drums are very narrow, maybe a wider reverb on the snare wouldn't hurt - the kick is very snappy in this context and quite hard rock, you could try soften the hit/attack (with a Cakewalk percussion strip if you have it) or try another sample, or just cut between 2-4kHz - are you sure you want to have the sax and guitar unison such a uniform sound? Why not separate them a bit: other brighter than the other and/or pan them a bit apart Anyway, I could listen to this all day and forget about lockdowns and place myself somewhere warm and a drink in my hand and and... Well done!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hidden Symmetry 485 Posted April 9 Good suggestions. The melodies are in unison but are panned a bit off each other. I will check it out again, maybe give them a bit more space.. This was an internet collab, drums are sub-mixed so can't do much, just a hint of room verb . I'll check the beater though. Thanks for the help! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeeringAmps 416 Posted April 9 What have I been smokin'? Could have sworn this was track8? 27 minutes ago, Hidden Symmetry said: I'll check the beater Going with my initial response. Kick is "working" for me; YMMV..... Especially in the context of the guitar tone, which is not a "warm and fuzzy big box" Gibson; well mostly, I'm at 3:30ish now. Still not an L5.... 1 hour ago, Hidden Symmetry said: Is the gtr, solo at 1:30 too loud? NO! t I would print it, but, serve Your vision, remember, I'm an old (heavy emphasis on that old) rocker..... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hidden Symmetry 485 Posted April 9 Thanks Tom, Yeah, track 8 turned into track 7! This project is pretty much wrapped up, just checking others ears. Sometimes I overlook the obvious. Several months out of the year I make a conscious effort to develop an idea or write a tune each day. These are 10 out of around 60 from 2019 & have plenty from previous years as well. After working on these for a while now I'm ready to get onto the next batch. Cheers & be safe... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Douglas Kirby 263 Posted April 10 I didn't think the guitar solo at 1:30 was too loud - it sounded just right in the mix. Cool smooth jazz instrumental - very relaxing. The mix sounds radio ready to me - nice job. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wookiee 452 Posted April 10 @Hidden Symmetry I was listing to Mix 1 but change to Mix 2 when I got to it. which did cause a momentary stutter on the furry paw tapping Overtones of Steely Dan, cool grooving, mix two sounds nice here on the Adam's, like Imu2002 I just enjoyed it sweet playing, nice tones, good airy balance, why would you ask for more 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
garybrun 307 Posted April 10 It was really hard to concentrate on the mix as the song gets you into the groove and you forget you are trying to critical listen. 🙂 Well done... like it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
