Hi Jerry. I didn't know you had a YouTube channel. Always impressed with your composing gift.

This one caught me by surprise. I like it. wasn't expecting that sound... but it works.-

Nice.. I would love to have a go at mixing this one. Not I'm saying you have done a bad job.. We all paint very different pictures.

I have a very good monitoring system,,, We all paint different pictures... But the mix seems very flat and "Lo-Fi" but maybe that is your intention?

Very nice.. we all paint different pictures.. I would back down the reverb on the piano and try and bring the bass in a little more... seems very flat on my system.

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!!

Test of the groove...

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.

OK... Vocal Timings are fixed now and add a automation... more to be done on automation

Fantastic mix. Sounds great on my Focal Trios.

Brilliant. Thank you... I haven't done vocal automation... but I am on it ?

Changes made.. Now trying to get a mix balance

Vocal timings I believe now are fixed?

Thanks so much Mark. I think my ears are shot... I also here the pop... think its on a cross fade not added. Also great idea on the timeline too. Will give it a little rest

I think I hear some vocal timing problems after the main guitar solo

Decided to drop some of the guitars... think maybe it was a little over crowded. Trying to work on bringing out clarity now.. Now master plugins added yet. Maybe pushing the mix to hard just now?

Congratulations on your release. Looking good and sound great. Gary

Very nice.. I can dig that groove .... and eat the pie ?

Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment.

Thanks so much for taking the time to listen and comment. Next step is guitar automation and vocal automation. I poste everything on here so people can follow the journey and see how things progress. This is what I would have liked to have learnt when I first started. I have an amazing new UAD plugin (don't need hardware for this one) "Sound City Studios" Would recommend it to people along with "God Particle" It gives me a new room sound that I never had before. Be a while before the final mix. ? Then I have to show it to the band... and you know what bands are like.. loads of different opinions and all listening on different sound systems. This is why I post here for feedback. It would be great if we had a mixers forum on here... then we could all chime in and help on another. Thanks again. Gary

Version 2 for me.

Added vocals now to the mix.. Would appreciate comments on backing vocals... should they be louder... also solo guitar is that loud enough?? Are the vocals too loud and should match the snare as normal protocol? Still need to automate guitars.

@DeeringAmps Its not my studio ...its a friends ? Used it to film in.

Added Vocal Stems for those who are following this production and how it progresses.

Sorry I missed this one. Nice vocal. As others said I like the sax too. Well done
