  1. There's a stick in there? Then I'd turn that up... t
  2. Well played, great tone. What's not to like? My only crit; you've got this lovely ambient sound stage, but the kick is dry as a bone. Gotta be careful with verb on the kick, but to me, it sticks out like a sore thumb... ? tom
  3. At 3:11? That's a perfect single; well for me. I think the piano is dominating the mix, I'd start by pulling it down. The snare seems to disappear from 1:23 - 2:01, I think I "feel" the kick still. If that's intentional, so be it; your song, your production. Its all here, so I'd zero the faders and get it balanced. I like the tune, btw. I'll save the thumbs and "like" for the re-mix... t
  4. I thought the things going on underneath the bass line could/should come up a bit. The strings in the left can probably a lot. But hey, this is your song, your production. A bit on the long side for me, an aging 3 min rocker, so take that with a grain of salt. My wife has the Requiem CD (Lloyd Webber) and its way too soft when its soft and then way too loud when its loud (if you've cranked it to "11" so you can hear the soft stuff, note aging rocker reference above). Having said that I must agree you should master this up a bit overall. But that's what the Level (voulume) control is for so again, grains of salt maybe... Yeah, I too think so. t
  5. Another I missed, dang me! BIAB, maybe Garage Band? Doesn't matter, perfect backing for some very fine storytellin'! Well sung, and those BGV's are so very good. I'm on the DT990's, and the bass is just right, but I started life in the vinyl age so ya doesn't have to rattle my teeths... ?? t

    I've been off my "game" a bit of late; how did I miss this one? Well, I'm sure y'all don't have the answer; but I digress... ? Welcome to the forum treesha, hope we hear much more. I'll agree with Tom (emeraldsoul), a little work on the drums in the future wouldn't hurt. ? the other tom (small t on purpose, just so ya know)
  7. Very nice David! Can't say if I'm sorry I missed it, or glad. Evidently you've re-mixed, and all I can say is ?! Nice soundstage, and the ending was perfect. Not how I would describe it, but you've definitely "painted" a picture; I think that deserves a ? fer sure... t
  8. Exactly! Me too! Glyn Johns and Eddie Kramer; what's not to like? Oh, Tom Dowd should get a wink and a nod as well, but his early stereo mixes (Disraeli Gears comes to mind), are just "put this left, and that right". Not at all a "true" stereo field IMnotsoHO. But maybe that was due to Felix Pappalardi's production.
  9. Signed up, but I gotta say I watched the Scheps masterclass and it was mostly a Waves mega-ad. I was ready to pull the trigger on the Scheps Omni Channel (still on sale btw), and at the end of the class he said "best advice is to get to know the plugs you have". Not verbatim, but you get my meaning. My guess? Another infomercial... to wit you said "well duh!" yeah I know But I'll still tune in t
  10. As always excellent stuff. (Shame on ya if you should drop a "stinker"; I kid, I kid.) The low res really isn't apparent on the Bose cans here. So would you call this a L-C-R mix? I tend to "smear" the stereo field, generally speaking. At the risk of repeating myself, your sax player has mad skills! t
  11. Interesting mix of traditional sounds and synths. Are the voices samples? As always I'm humbled... t
  12. Got it! well, no , I didn’t buy it! but I understand. Thanks Lars t
  13. I have the iLok on the old Cat here in the office. My embroidery software is PACE protected; so a "dongle" there. Lots of vendors have gone away from the iLok, so I've never had to install on the new Cat in the studio. Frankly it was an "easy" to cure my sudden GAS; just being honest. I love it when there's an easy way to say "I don't really need this"... t
  14. More Kirby for sure! Good on ya. Not a crit, but I "hear" a grinding Hammond for this one Doug. I won't say I'd find a way to "trim" it down a bit (5:17 kinda long; for me). Whoops! I did say........ t Oh, I would add a moments silence on the beginning, its kind of abrupt.
  15. First, smart to post the original for comparison. So much better, much impressed. Technique is starting to catch up with your songwriting. My advice; lather, rinse, repeat... ?? t
  16. iLok authorization onto iLok2, iLok3, Host Computer or iLok cloud Ah, saved by the bell... @Christian Jones I know you love these guys so I was going to check out the demo, see what I am missing: but ilok, nah. As to reverb, first thing I do with an AmpliTube preset is kill the verb. I can see where the standalone is a horse of a different color. but I don't ride no more... tom
  17. Ya know I think David's right. Love when the horns hit there around 1:30. I'm giving ya a couple of ? ? ! Without a doubt very creative. I'm good with the mix, but what do I know? t
  18. No video Claudio? I think we lose the impact without the video. I'm not near as creeped out, but maybe that's a good thing... But hey, side A is in the can and good on ya for that! tom
  19. Another that seems to have fallen through the cracks. I'm thinking we gotta bring the drum track up quite a bit. Like that acoustic, sounds very good. But it does tend to dominate. Let the strings breathe a bit. The vocal is working. You're selling the story line; well done there. I think the parts are all here, I'd mix it different, if it was me... tom
  20. You've kind of fallen through the cracks here Paul. I think I'd build a little more in the pre-chorus. I hear an organ in there somewhere; I think I'd bring that up a bit. Overall, to me, its a good demo. Now lets build a little more energy throughout and hit that 3:16 mark running. t
  21. @RSMcGuitar You get the "key" and a link to the "creation" tool at checkout (see below) I ordered a DVD for $6.95 extra. I've got a few to do. PC World wants $3.95 to make your links available for 2 years (not that you would need it). HTH tom
  22. I found that quite annoying! for some reason, and I have these on both my Win 7 machines, I can't get it to work on my Win 10 machines; doh! tom
  23. I bought 2 at $109 awhile back. Been a WD Black (obviously "spinning" drives) user for some time. Samsung EVO's for SSD. So far the WD-SSD's are performing perfectly. tom
  24. It still worked back in December. I've been putting off a "clean" install (did the "in place" upgrade). As this was OEM Win 7 home to Win 10 Home, I'm all over a $39 upgrade to Retail Pro. If I'm going to go to all the trouble of a clean install, it makes sense to start fresh with Pro. Thanks! tom
