YOU DONT want to avoid frequencies, you just want to get good at mixing them at the right level. gabriel is an outlier... that album is great, but stands in it's own little corner, specifically because of arrangement decisions. if you are emulating an old gabriel recording for a specific purpose, simply NOT using cymbals cuts out a lot of high end. but i'd never place an eq over the mix just to take out certain frequencies... that gets done at the track level.

hey thanks andy! glad you heard this one

thanks jack c! this one was so easy to get into the groove, i really liked this drum track for a simple rock groove.

Thanks for the review, Terry! I don't know much about 80s glam, I always considered glam to be early 70's, ala T Rex and slade, bowie, mott the Hoople, that kind of stuff. I did play a lot of 80's music in traveling cover bands, it wasn't very glamorous! Heh Thanks again

https://batsbrew.bandcamp.com/track/jezebel you might have heard the demo of this one, i've been trying to wrap it up, this is real close, i think. i wrote this one, using the drum track from the rolling stones' "tumblin' dice" as a template. if you stripped off all the music and played along with the drums, you could nail tumblin' dice! LOL it was just an experiment.

updated mix. i like that i can update mixes to bandcamp at will, if anyone gets a copy, they can keep updating it if they're that interested... eventually, the 'trilogy' will be released on the next album. i'm getting close.

that was cool! reminds me a bit of robert Palmer's more progressive stuff he did before Power Station love all the guitar ear candy the vocal stays front and center without being too loud and karaoke... nice job! like the smooth bass line.

hey mark! thanks so much for the time and for the listen sometimes, a mix just has to percolate for a while....! heheh the breakdown parts were always there, but with some magic parallel processing, i just brought them out more, made them more obvious, and it puts you right in the middle of that train.... the stop to pick up more, let off a few, the speed of the vehicle is there... and then when it stops, and i've got three guitars parts revving up to gear using the whammy bar... that was fun!!

the foculs are probably the best in that class, but not the best bang for buck https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/kali-audio-in8 another kali you might consider: https://tapeop.com/reviews/gear/156/in-unf-monitor-system/

maybe these https://www.amazon.com/Etymotic-Research-ER3SE-Edition-Earphone/dp/B07665KVD1/ref=as_li_ss_tl?dchild=1&keywords=ER3SE&qid=1590058439&sr=8-1&linkCode=sl1&tag=andrew000a-20&linkId=023055290e86bea0f00513c8068ccdc1&language=en_US

200 would be the lowest i'd go

it's sad they boo'd max in austin. shameful. makes the US look bad.

QUITE THE BARN BURNER YESTERDAY! WOW

Bumpin for race day!

Def bumpin this one.... Worth it.

heh, yea, this should have always been mixed more forward and dry, the first pass (demo) was more roomy, bigger, and a little bit diffuse. well, the samples i found for the train, the people noise, the station noise, they were all 'found' samples, and even tho i know how to stereoize that sh!te, i have found that whenever i try those trick, they sound 'clownphucked' to me, so i just take em as they are. i'm really trying to get to that vibe of standing or sitting in a train that is moving at high speed, you get the feel of extreme force and finesses at the same time.. and to me, well, in my music mind, that sound would be more personal, and it'd be more close and tight. so, the mix is trying to reflect that. maybe a really good mixer would have a completely different approach, and when i'm trying to wear all hats, out of neccessity, sometimes it takes me longer to the obvious.

i'll stick to my Strymon Iridium. super happy with it. $399.

nice, that hit the spot today.

ok, updated.

fixed. tnx.

https://batsbrew.bandcamp.com/track/bullet-train-to-monaco completely new mix. different drum kit and room treatments. i may final tweak the kit a bit more. i like the snare snap, but it may...be too much. and i guess, a different approach to the mix. it's quite a bit more in the face. i think it works better this way than the demo i previously posted.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allan_Holdsworth Holdsworth has been cited as an influence by a host of rock, metal and jazz guitarists such as Eddie Van Halen, Joe Satriani, Greg Howe,Shawn Lane,Richie Kotzen,John Petrucci,[Alex Lifeson, Kurt Rosenwinkel,Yngwie Malmsteen, Michael Romeo,Ty Tabor,Fredrik Thordendal Daniel Mongrain, John Frusciante, and Tom Morello. Frank Zappa once lauded him as "one of the most interesting guys on guitar on the planet",while Robben Ford has said: "I think Allan Holdsworth is the John Coltrane of the guitar. I don't think anyone can do as much with the guitar as Allan Holdsworth can." that's a SHORT list~!~ LOL Immediately after I.O.U.'s release, guitarist Eddie Van Halen brought Holdsworth to the attention of Warner Bros. Records executive Mo Ostin. Van Halen had previously enthused about Holdsworth in a 1980 issue of Guitar Player magazine, saying "That guy is bad! He's fantastic; I love him", and that Holdsworth was "the best, in my book". Furthermore, in a 1981 interview for Guitar World magazine, he said that "To me Allan Holdsworth is number one".

uh, no.

Allan Holdsworth. or edward.
