mark skinner Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 (edited) Hello , here's a new one that needs finalizing. There's a good bit of acoustic guitar mixed with my G&L and synth work. I could really use some guidance on EQ , instrument and vocal levels. So .. that's about everything. I think it's getting close but , I'm not trusting my ears right now . I'm into one of those 6 month tinnitus reoccurrences. This time I've gotten the unusual "broken speaker effect". It had me swapping out everything including my interface. Now it's subsided to just the ringing. Thank You for the listen and any comments .. mark Links now reflect remix 1 (per suggestions). Thanks mark https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=14655929 Edited September 23, 2023 by mark skinner remix 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikkie Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Hi Mark, this is excellent, vocals, guitars, the lot 😀 All sounds good to me, but with my tinnitus, low note in one ear and a high squeal in the other, I'm certainly not the best judge on eq and such, I just like it 😉 Rik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry T. Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 (edited) EQ: the bass elements (direct injected?, synths?, guitar?) can all be brought up around 1 to 2dB, the lead guitar riffs can also be eq'ed up around a dB, the percussion elements can also be eq'ed up around a dB. Instrument Levels: bring bass up 1 to 2dB, drum kit elements up 1dB, sounds like there's a couple of string synths that can be about 1 to 2dB louder, all acoustic guitars sound great. Vox Levels: Lead vox sounds great, i just hear your vox....don't hear the girl from SubVibe at all. Great work and collaboration so far🎶🎶🎶🎶 Edited September 20, 2023 by Larry T. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark skinner Posted September 20, 2023 Author Share Posted September 20, 2023 Thank's Guys. @Rikkie Appreciate you commenting. Yeah this tinnitus thing is a real pita. @Larry T. Thank's for the detailed response. Exactly what I asked for. I'll post a remix soon . Bringing up the bass guitar alone has made a Big difference and it allowed me to make further changes. 12 hours ago, Larry T. said: don't hear the girl from SubVibe at all. She's M.I.A. on this one. You are stuck with just me on vocals. I miss her too . @jack c. Thank You , I'll look at the harmony's again before the remix. @Bajan Blue Thanks for the comment. It's nice to have conformation before commiting to changes. (especially from your talented perspective) Later .. mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noynekker Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Hi Mark, couldn't let the day go by without something on this new song you've posted . . . unfortunately, no incisive mix suggestions or helpful comments today, all I got today is that I absolutely love the vocals you've captured in this one, another great collaboration with SubVibe , this one with more marked guitars up front. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn Wilson Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Stunning! Songs like this raise the bar higher. I hope you guys do more work together. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garybrun Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Very nice Mark. Sorry for the delay in replying.. I have always loved your vocals and guitar playing. We all paint different pictures... but I would like to hear more low end and a few more instruments. Its not often vocalist puts himself higher than everything else... they usually shy sway 🙂 Its the first time I have heard your mixes do this. Would love to have a go at this one... I love this kind of style. well done mate. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulo Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Sounds very good on lappy speakers. It's kind of busy and laid back at the same time. Nice work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark skinner Posted September 24, 2023 Author Share Posted September 24, 2023 (edited) Hello Guys , @hsmusic Thanks for listening and taking the time to comment.

The "marked guitars" comment may lead to a new song title.👌 @Lynn Wilson We both have appreciated your support and comments on our collabs and seperate songs . @paulo I appreciate that. I've found that not much sounds good on my lappy without decent headphones. @garybrun Very nice to hear from you! I know how busy you've been and still offered to do a remix. Files are sent. This one has made it back and forth from the exotic state of Alabama to the Netherlands and now Norway. I love the internet. We'll appreciate any further comments or crits , but I won't bump the song up untill Gary works his magic. Thanks mark Edited September 24, 2023 by mark skinner 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Wilby Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 First of all, huge sympathy with all tinnitus sufferers. My mum had it and she said voices sounded like Daleks. Must be bloody awful. I have a bit of a high pitched ringing but my wife doesn't talk all the time. Regarding the mix, sounds spot on to me 👍 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeringAmps Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Listening in the van today, (mids are a “hot mess”), so tough to give any advice as to the mix. I can relate to the “broken speaker” and the background “ringing”. Love the tune and performances. Looking forward to @garybrun’s mix. t 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
