Barry Seymour Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) This is new territory for me; I've never mixed horns before. Any feedback would be welcome. I know the solos need work - I've asked them for a few more takes. I'm asking about the mixing. Thanks!

KSband Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 There is so much reverb/delay on the guitar that it's hard to tell what is happening with the mix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I originally recorded this without horns. I'll back it off and see if it helps clean things up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadfoot Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Love the lyric! Sounds like a good ol boogie song! The mix sounds pretty good to me. A couple things I would do is bump the rhythm guitars up by about a half a dB, and give the lead guitar a little high mid, then you might need to cut the lead track by a half to one dB after bumping the high mid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bajan Blue Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Hi Barry - sounds pretty good - only thing I would say is that to me the bass sounded a bit boxy - might well have been my system, who knows!! Otherwise all cool Nigel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As always, great storytelling. 👍's 👏 I'm guessing these are shots from back in the day? t one little crit, you're overdoing the drive a bit on the one guitar (the mid-rangey strat?) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhonoBrainer Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I feel like I've been in that band. Lyrics great, vocals great, horn lines work a treat. Are the horns going into a plate reverb? They sound smooth up top, very very nice. Here's hoping you get your lottery reunion. cheers, -Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then the trumpet player played his three parts using that as a reference track. I have them all on separate tracks but they're going through one bus, which I applied compression. I centered all the horns but then used a free plugin called 'wider' to give it a sort of faux separation; it gives the horns a more intimate, unified feel, oddly enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve@baselines.com Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Absolutely incredible - brought back so many memories of my own...not the least of which was that $20 on the table after lugging home equipment at 3AM. Thanks for a great thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Seymour Posted January 26, 2023 Author Share Posted January 26, 2023 Thank you! These are all musicians from my high school rock band. A bassist, a sax player and a trumpeter. For the next song we're adding another trumpet player and an actual drummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
