bjornpdx 1,005 Posted December 18, 2021 (edited) Gary, if you were going for a 40s crooner sound you nailed it. I love your version of White Christmas. How did you do the backing vocals? Oh and I like the snowmen too. Edited December 18, 2021 by bjornpdx 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
noynekker 376 Posted December 19, 2021 (edited) Pretty cool Gary ! Didn't you do this one last year ? Sweet production. Poof, another year on the Cake forum. You've certainly got another gear on those low notes that not many have, just like Bing did I guess, maybe that's why they named a browser after him, LOL. Thanks for kicking off that Christmas feeling for me ! . . . a very merry Christmas to you and yours. EDIT: The snowmen are my new desktop, classic fun.

PhonoBrainer 1,817 Posted December 19, 2021 Great! The arrangement and vocals, perfect match. The bass is subdued and unobtrusive, and its tone is spot-on for the era. Those string lines and what they are doing would make any session producer from 1955 proud. thanks for the refresh, it was a holiday treat. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DeeringAmps 1,735 Posted December 20, 2021 I'm giving a slight edge to the "Vintage" mix. I went back and listened to the old mixes on Band Lab (those are last years still?); the differences are pretty subtle. Would I be able to pick the Vintage mix out in a double blind shootout; with my Golden Ears, you are kidding right? 🙃 Fine vocal here Gary, you've done yourself and Bing proud. And the mix is lovely, so big 👍's here! t as I mentioned last year I don't think I have the big brass cajones necessary to take a run Bing. I guess you have... 😎 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tim Smith 475 Posted December 23, 2021 Can't get much more authentic to the original than this which actually surpasses it in terms of the mix/mastering. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
