mark skinner 406 Posted April 1, 2019 After giving up on violin , I traded it for a cello. Mainly using it for backing on singer songwriter type stuff , but I thought I'd try something different. I've been having a hard time mixing for mp3. Sounds good in my room but the online conversions have been pretty rough . Way too bassy and highs were weak. I could also hear the compression . I think I got closer in this instrumental , "any" feedback would be appreciated ... Thanks markfunk-cello[1] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhonoBrainer 1,375 Posted April 4, 2019 Original as funk cello! I could hear a live band having a good go at this. I liked the guitar leads as well, tasty. cheers, - Tom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bjornpdx 759 Posted April 27, 2019 Mark I'm used to thinking Yo Yo Ma when I hear cello but you gave the instrument a new direction. Excellent performance and mix. I didn't think the song sounded too bassy at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ramscapri 31 Posted May 1, 2019 (edited) That was a good listen Mark ! Truly nice funky beat. The Cello blends quite well and sounded quite saxophony at places (bends) 😄 Edited May 1, 2019 by ramscapri Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
