Agree 100% on this. I have it and was really impressed from the start. And if the new IK Tape Emu's are better than that.... that's pretty d**n good!!

That's how I found the Leslie sim. It was a good cut above what I already had.

Now you got me looking!!

Come to think of it, neither have I!!

Wondering how they match up to Waves tape emulations. Do you have the Waves tape plugins? I may d/l the demo next week and check it out.

3 days? In the summer? We would almost die down here. Or at least think a hurricane came through!! Hope it stays on!! 'cause it ain't gonna get any kooler!!

Yeah. Agreed. If we waited till they were perfect...

Yep, might be time for a six pack... I'm out.

IF they sound as good as the Leslie Collection...... I'm in!

I have to admit, I thought of this too.

I think it sounds good. But there are some parts where I couldn't quite make out what the vocals were saying. Squeeze box sounds good. And drums have more definition.

Agreed. The first mix, after all the constructive criticism I have given, would sell on it's own I do believe.

: )

Agree. When we let our songs go, it's up to the world to interpret them the way they want. Nice song kloon. About 2:14 there is a synth that comes in that has some really nice 'space' to it. Sounds good. Might want to add that from the beginning. I just thought it gave the song a new dimension. As for the vocals, after reading SPAK's post I would have to agree with him on this. Except for me it only applies to the first few minutes of the song. As it went on the vocals just got more 'relaxed' and smooth. The harmony vocal is really good. Good clean mix. Was listening to it on my studio monitors.

Myriad, I finally got to listen to this on my studio monitors (KRK V6) and I can hear lots more detail. In fact I can hear the bass in my monitors much better. And he is playing note for note!! He's really good and tight! But what I am hearing in the bass player on my monitors is not being transferred to those other systems I was listening on. And therein lies the problem. Transfering what we hear in our studio to the outside world. It's an art, keep working at it. Just wanted to give you a heads up on it.

Agree with you Mike. Melda is a great company. And think their plugins are some of the best bang for buck out there. I just thought that they changed the default color to this bright green, which threw me for a loop as it was so unlike them!! I am so glad I was wrong.

You have the R button press/engaged? This button tells the trk to read the automation.

LOL!! I bought some for the girls about three Christmas's ago, and they love the dang things!! That's all they want to wear. But they want me to buy them!! I ain't even gonna tell ya what I paid for them socks!! @emeraldsoul I must be honest, I was put off by the title (pic didn't help either!). Then I looked at the length of the song...almost 5 minutes!! But I gave it a shot and to my benefit, I really enjoyed it. Excellent job on everything. Comical but deep lyrics! Great beat, real good keyboard work. Great mix too!! And by the end of the song I wanted the story to keep going!! Those 15 minutes went by like that!! : )

To me it is, because I have played bass (I am not a bass player!) in bands before. I can hear that he is following the guitar or kick note for note. That's why I didn't hear it before. He's really good.

Would have to agree with Steve on the accordion, that sounds really sweet. I kept waiting for the vocal!! For the drums they could use a little clarity. Just a little. Cause they sitting well right now with the squeeze box.

I would call that a wrap! Let others hear it and see what they think. I listened to it over the work speakers (JVC) and my Bose headphones, both loud and at low volumes with rests in between. This one has the dynamic sound that the first one did, with more punch and low end, but I can also hear all the little details. I think I can even make out the bass player. (Is he a former guitar player?) The little part I was talking about was I think you took the very first part of the first word of the second verse and gave it a little Ba, Ba, Ba, Ba in time with the beat. Sounds good. I like that part.

As Rush put it "Living in the Limelight, the Universal Dream" ! : ) Maybe that's why it sounds so good, ya'll are really relaxed and not trying to prove nothing to nobody. : ) For me I love mixing. I mean I could do this everyday all day long, into the night, never go to bed..... but that ain't real!! I gotta make a living, SO I have to work. : ( I still try to mix, and I ain't half bad. But for me it's so hard to say "Yes, this is finished!" I always am listening, thinking how can I get this part to sound like this, or that. I am always hearing some little thing wrong with it. The bad thing is when I go back and listen to it after some time has past I'm like, what was I hearing? That sounds good. So I listen again and next thing I know, I got it back in the box trying to fix that little something that I am the only one hearing!!! So I haven't been able to find that balance. Or to let it go!! Keep it up though, your doing a great job. Just gotta let that bass guitar stand out some more. : )

It's all good. I did mean that as a compliment!!

That pic!! Yeah, you sure got a smile on your face!! : )

Only if you don't give up and keep seeking advice. Playing that style of music, I don't think 'giving up' is in your vocabulary! : ) LOL The kick is fine I thought. I gave it somewhat of a listen on my Surface Pro speakers (I mean BS speakers!!) and I could still 'hear' the kick but not on a regular basis.
