DeeringAmps Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Hey Gary, Just a couple of "niggles" here in my opinion. There are times when Thomas' vocals get very "intimate" and need a little more automation to bring up the level. In the into for example "I don't know my destination or why I'm walkin' here" Just about lose that "here" in the mix. Another place I have noticed it is in the chorus "there again". This last run through I think those are all pretty good. Great tune, great work on your part! t 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its mixed LOUD!! As that's how I imagine it to be played. The first one is not so HOT! Thanks In advance Gary Good tune, takes & mix. Don't worry about loudness so much, mix it to sound good.. it would depend more on if this is a single version or part of an album release.. - great job..

Treblecock Studio Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Great tune. Not a country fan but the drums get the toes tapping. Can you break down your approach to the drums for me? Hardware, software etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you break down your approach to the drums for me? Hardware, software etc The drums are recorded drums with kick and snare samples (Steven Slate) blended. Drum Tracks with UAD Fairchild Compressor sent too busses I have three buses.. Drums Dry /Slate Digital Fresh Air- then sent to a drumverb bus UAD Lexicon Blend in these two busses to taste. Drum Room / UAD Sound City (Brilliant for creating rooms and mics) Does not need UAD hardware, Drum Crush / Fresh Air These then go to the Master Bus which has the God Particle on. (well recommended plugin) Then through SPL Iron for final print. Edited January 19 by garybrun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garybrun Posted January 19 Author Share Posted January 19 (edited) Getting there I think. Would you believe it found a bass note that came into early... wonder if you lot can hear it. Need to go back and fix!! Do vocal levels need to come up or are they OK Before the vocals where very tinny... that was because I've been mixing too long. Took a bit of a break today.. so hopefully I'm not as deaf!! Edited January 19 by garybrun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garybrun Posted January 24 Author Share Posted January 24 Well after much thought, listening and revisions I decided to strip the song down. I thought it was too over crowded and needed more clarity. Could I have your opinions on this version. Thanks In Advance, Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeringAmps Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 You got me here. The acoustic guitar intro drew me right in. (the bare vocal on the intro never quite defined the start of the track properly for me) And of course, the Hendrix style unison bends on the last chorus, "sealed the deal"! (although they are a bit loud). (its too hot, its too cold; "I can't never be satisfied")🙃 I'm lovin' it Gary! t 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Walsh Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I have nothing to add in terms of technical aspects of the mix, it all sounds really good to me. Great track and great work on the mix Gary! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
