Thanks all. Pretty sure this is a wrap on this mix. It’s translating on most systems I play it on. Appreciate everyone’s time..:

Hi Freddy, This was an interesting / eclectic listen. Very signature take on blues, for sure. My main issue is that the vocals need to be in a better shared space as everything else. They seem to be super dry and very forward. Maybe that’s the intention? nicely done…

Really nice! The video looks super pro too. Excellent work…

It was just a google drive file: Updated to a SoundCloud link for ease…

I’m obsessed with this show. Excellent cover man…

Wayyyyyyy out of our normal comfort zone and genre, but boy, whatever the eff this is, it was super fun lol. Leave Me Like You Love Me / The Underhills Looking for general mix feedback before this heads to mastering. Thanks so much…

Thanks guys. Tbh, singing with northeast fall allergies and consistent post nasal drip is so damn challenging. My take count was way higher than normal with this tune. Nice to know I’m fooling a few people 😃

Sure Nigel… Posted it on our band camp temporarily which isn’t ideal because BC streaming is like mp3 quality but I did enable wav download https://theunderhills.bandcamp.com/track/gone-2024 Made some tweaks last night: * enabled a de-esser on the acoustic from the drums in until the outro to duck / reduce from 6.5k and above the harsh percussive strum. Seems to have tamed it… *rolled high end off acoustic and lead vox a little *cross delay on chorus harmonies to make them wash a little more * still need to increase vocal level on second half of verses as they seem to bury a little once the second rhythm guitar comes in * reduced overall loudness of track

Hey Mark, thanks for the detailed listen / game plan. I will definitely try to engage a few of these tweaks when I roll back to this tonight. Haha no apologies man. I post this stuff to get it over the finish line. The drums are drums on demand so it’s really only a stereo field I get to work with: the compression is in the product. Only other compression is an SSL G on the master bus and it’s only like 2 to 4db of compression. There’s a slight L2 to push the volume for car listening until I can get it mastered but it’s not actually doing much. Thanks for the listen!!

I’m not sure what genre is targeted here but it has really amazing musical theater / broadway energy. It was a very nice piece…

Thanks Andy, Definitely dig the building energy of it and I’m just trying to get everything to fit in there to do it justice. Thanks for the listen and comments…

Omg yeah, the acoustic is on my main hit list for the weekend. The tone is actually quite good, it’s the pickup of the right hand strum that needs to be tamed, eq’d, and ducked. It is somewhat harsh in that it is all you hear once everyone comes in. The mic was a bit too close to the source and my right hand wasn’t quite as clean as I needed… thanks for the listen and comments!

You got pipes man. I wanted a little more filth on the guitar rhythm to match the strength and energy of the late 80s hair vocals but good job on a cool rock song. 🤘🏻

Putting the finishing touches on this mix before sending to my mastering guy. Anyone wanna pick it apart / lend tweaks? I can take it… (besides the heavy breathing on the acoustic track lol, this I’m aware of) Gone / The Underhills https://theunderhills.bandcamp.com/track/gone-2024

Really nice vocal performance and easy listening song. My only issue is the drums are just a little too robotic. / repetitive. What are you using?
