I’m in the van today. It can really make a mess of things in the low mids, if a mix has issues in the low mids, I can hardly listen to it. This sounds great! So I’ll just echo @mark skinner Top notch, love the vocal! t

Here I go, the "guitar player" wants more me. I'm hearing some things in your mix that are not in Billy's mix. I'm still thinking there is more "call and response" in the tracks; could be wrong... Was Billy involved at all in the tracking of this tune? Who produced the original sessions? For $57 I get the original sessions? Might be worth it just to see what you two are missing... Lots of good advice from Tim above. t I left some comments over at BandLab, louder is always better (see Tim above). Yes Billy's guitars are more present in the mix, and the vocal is "brighter". How much of that is just "its louder" (well his guitars are more "forward" as well). This has been enlightening and, well; FUN!

Jackson is right, I guess I should have made that clearer in my response. Aren't we all? No crime there. Lather, rinse, repeat; that's my motto. Mixing is a skill set developed by constant practice. I have/use Ozone, Nectar, Neutron; but I don't "trust" them. More like looking over someone's shoulder and thinking "can I use that technique to improve my work". Fixed that for ya. Similar background, I was busy playing and singing when in the studio. Checkout Lord Tim's comments in Gary's thread (Tim is at the bottom), he shares some interesting thoughts/techniques on getting the mix right. I'll definitely stay tuned.... (I guess I'm saying I like the tune; eh?) t as to the snare, Superior Drummer; got it. Which kit? Which snare? Are you using one on the presets that SD provides? The one thing I struggle with is getting the snare to "pop" right... Think of the "hit" in Light My Fire or Born to be Wild TIA

That snare is "poppin", yeah I like that. Since you are the artist formally known as eDrummist, am I to assume that you are playing an eKit. I must have that snare... to better drown out your vocal in the chorus? There's a kind of Tom Petty quality to your voice. I get you are never going to be happy with the vocal, but you've got to let it "serve" the tune. Let someone else mix this. Its all good... t

So solid on so many levels. Love it, I love it! t

?'s Always a pleasure hearing your compositions. t

Say what! This is the "Songs" forum, there isn't a person here that hasn't toiled for hours on a mix and questioned every decision they've made. creative process, who doesn't love insight in how others work? No, he was "familiar" with the track, I could be wrong; but no! Coming from a rock/blues background; its all about the call and response... I would "center", and bring up the level, on something when the singer is quiet. I'd have to go thru tracks, but I suspect there's something to "fill the void"; I could be wrong... I'm guitar "centric", and I know that; but with all these tracks, someone is "playing his a-s-s off" everytime the singer takes a long breath. Also, the first section of the solo lacks a "focal" point. I'm not hearing anything, and I find that surprising. The second section has that slide work (Dobro maybe). You've got that pretty well centered. These are my quick thoughts. HTH t big ?'s on the whole process here!

Good stuff! 42k+ views on To The Outer Planets; I'm impressed! t

I know this makes me sound "lame". But what are the crypto miners mining? t

?'s from me! t #edm, really? and what the hey is metapop? the good thing there, I could listen without having to join. couldn't "like" or "comment", but small price to pay...

Posted on Dec 10th on YouTube, what took you so long to clue us in? ? As always, big ?'s here! t

Louder is always "better". I think somewhere in the middle here is where you want to be. I'm hearing that fiddle and second (third, fourth, fifth? guitars better as well). I'm a guitar player, so not sure the "call and response" is "there" yet. But, more me, more me; right? so you can disregard... Overall, you're at an "A" level. Trust your live sound instincts! (and work on that "call and response" ? mybad) t

I'm easing into MODO, used it today; still not bonding with EZB. t

@cclarry so if I pick it up on KVR, the Jubilee, what's it cost to transfer the license. I didn't love the demo enough for $49... We paid $19 for the Bluesbreaker; right? t and how does one search the KVR site?

Yeah, I popped for it too. t gave it a workout in the studio today, really compliments the palmer captures...

That first voice is a little buzzy/screechy/scratchy. Not Yoko, but just as annoying. At 2:30ish its much better. Yikes, Yoko is back at 3:30ish. As Tom said the synth/pads are stellar. Your tune, your vision; you know I'm a fan! I'd have to tame the witches... beeches t

I think Jack is right, bite the bullet and push the vocal fader up! (most of us hate/question our own voice) I'll stay tuned for the re-mix and bridge... t

Haven't had a chance to watch the series yet John, solid bones to work with here. It will be interesting (and old dogs can always learn new tricks!) how it evolves. t dropped a like, even knowing this is a ways from finished; a fan!

Keith Emerson, Greg Lake and Carl Palmer. Instrumentation reminded me of ELP, not sure on the vocal style... t -8ish, maybe?

I'd bring the acoustic guitar up a bit; think the vocal is fine. The kick is a bit pronounced at some points, but that's a taste/genre thing. Who sang on this one, nice! t

That intro is something! I'd fade it in a bit. What's your overall level here (LUFS)? Tim goes all ELP? t

Not sure I heard anything there, but there were a few hiccups during playback that were "streaming" issues here (or at SoundCloud). Without hearing the old mix hard to say, but I do believe I had some "issues" in the Vocal level or the vocal verb; IIRC. t

Already a subscriber, did "like" and comment. t Best of luck moving the community to "help" over at YouTube. I've been badgering the Forum for a while; to no avail...

I'll hold the "like", I too t

Sounds good here on the DT990's. There's something in the left can, a fiddle or electric slide? There's some fills there,"call and response", that I think were intended to be more upfront in the mix; again I stress, I think. Its a bit low in the left channel. My ears are not would they should be... t the tune has kind of an Ain't Goin' Down til The Sun Comes Up vibe. A quick listen to that might give a bit of insight into the Country Rock genre; if you have any doubts...
