Kevin Walsh 121 Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) I'm having real trouble dialing in the mix, your feedback is very appreciated. Update: Mix #3 just posted, your feedback has improved the mix a great deal. I know it's getting better because I'm now hearing all of my mistakes.

Paul Bush 131 Posted October 12, 2020 Great recording nothing wrong with it my end , Listened to it on two paris of headphones amd monitors , maybe the bass a tick louder other than that great song Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SupaReels 51 Posted October 12, 2020 How about a nice bit'O' Hammond, just to carry to carry the M8 @ 2.48 -216 , just for a bluesy feel .. Great voice though .. so different and unique 👍 S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mark skinner 262 Posted October 12, 2020 Great vocals and a very creative bridge. I also liked the loose intro. I agree with Paul about the bass getting buried , and I think a little on the drums. I would try and get a deeper kick.. I'm in the middle of one now with tremolo Teles' and some moving pans and having real problems getting a smooth mix. I had to back off on the pans and really get the guitars levels smoothed out with the rest of the instruments. I love the tone of your guitars and the fills they're doing , especially the R guitar. From listening to your other works I know you'll get it done .. mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Walsh 121 Posted October 12, 2020 Thanks for the feedback, guys. I did goose the bass up a little bit (actually re-did the whole bass line to give it a more flowing feeling.) I posted a new mix for you to review. Sabby, I don't really know how to play keys so I don't guess I'll be putting a Hammond part in there, but you're right, it might just sound cool. Thanks, keep the feedback coming! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wookiee 872 Posted October 13, 2020 Another track that groove eased me into the day, having been roused from a haze at 04:30 this morning because our lovely hound decided a patrol of the property both inside and out was needed. Mix is very effective @Kevin Walsh. Not sure the furry ears are awake enough to catch all the lyrics. I like though I even went back for a second listen.

Kevin Walsh 121 Posted October 13, 2020 Thank you sir, I appreciate both of your listens! I thank your hound as well for giving me to opportunity to ease you in to the day. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emeraldsoul 1,074 Posted October 14, 2020 I think I heard mix #2? I'd say get some more low mids into the bass? Or overall, bass volume up even more? I love an out front vocal and your is a treat, particularly when its doubled in the chorus, or with the bgv's. But to help the overall balance, maybe drop the lead vocal volume just a hair? You have an acoustic stumming along and some of the highs on that are very bright indeed, super bright steel strings jumping out in spots, if this were mine I would drop the upper shelf down a bit . . . You've made some cool, laid-back choices for this, nice job! cheers, -Tom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Walsh 121 Posted October 14, 2020 I've posted a new mix (#3) with Tom's feedback incorporated. It sounds a lot better to my ears, thank you for the help! One thing, is the acoustic too much? I'm relegated to mixing with headphones these days and it's pretty difficult to get things balanced that way. Your help is very much appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
