i understand what you are saying... but the way things are mastered have also changed.
I do my i own mastering on my own stuff... i’m not very good at it.. doesn’t work as I am to connected.
when I master for others... that’s a different story.
Also times have changed on how we used to listen and perceive music.
I myself am guilty of using to much reverb due to todays charts.. but when I grew up reverb was a big thing in the 80-90s.
But it seems like its coming back into fashion again.
This could be just the way I am used to listening.
When I play your track through the Avantones the bass sounds good.
Maybe its just the volume of the bass?
This is a good trick if no one knows about it-.
I'm questioning my room tuning now!! ?
Very nice...
Loved the horns and guitar
We all paint different pictures... I would like a warmer sound on the bass and a little more prominent.,,, butthen again it comes in more around 2.17 as you go up the register.
Did well here jack.
Loved the panning at the beginning on the twinkle.. caught my ear and made me concentrate.
Somehow was very eastern orientated (yoga based) ?
As Lynn also commented on.. you put quite a bit of thought into this one.
we all paint very different pictures.. the strings I found grinding.. and harsh.. maybe a little verb?
Well done Bill.
Don't be shy and bring up the volume a little on that bongo in the Right hand speaker?
we all paint different pictures... that's how I would paint mine,
