That track is good! The mastering job sounds pretty good too, but it sounds in places like the track has lost some definition between instruments. Maybe you have it set to be more aggressive?
I didn't know about the free bandlab mastering service, I'll have to check it out.
If I recall correctly both representatives from Apple and Microsoft visited the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center. Microsoft and Apple both liberally stole from Xerox. I'm sure there was a lot of cross pollination between Apple and Microsoft as well.
As a very long time Windows user and a once-in-a-blue-moon Mac user, in my opinion the Windows experience is a well-designed and very logical environment compared to the horror show that is the Mac user experience.
But that's just me.
Programs I purchased in the 90s will still run on my Windows 10 desktop unchanged. My brother has to upgrade all of his software every time Apple decides his computer isn't quite right anymore.
Thank you for giving it a listen, Jesse, and thanks for the feedback! I'm not really sure who I sound like but I often wished I sounded like almost anybody else. ?
Man, all your stuff always sounds so great and this is no exception. Neon is just brilliant. I'm going to have to listen to them all now. Damn you, I don't have time for this!
I spent some time in Europe in the 70's and 80's and this kind of dance music was playing in every club and disco I walked in to. Floors were packed too. This is a very good song with really well done vocals and a quality mix and it brings back some truly great memories. I'll have to look up your other work, this is good stuff.
Tom, as always your feedback is most welcome! As for the end, yeah, I don't think I'm quite done with this one yet, but I think it's finally getting to be in the ballpark of where I wanted it to go. Thanks!
Really great cover! My wife is a huge Simple Minds fans and she says you nailed it. I'm not familiar with their back catalog so I can only comment on what you have here and it's just wonderful. Great mix with deftly handled vocals. The production is pristine, complex and everything is exactly where it's supposed to be. Can't say enough good stuff about this one.
Thank you Kurt! I'd love to hear your suggestions on how to achieve clarity. I've been pulling my hair out trying to do that without making things sound like frying bacon. ?
Nevermind, I found an errant EQ on a bus somewhere just crushing everything from 4k on up. I posted a new version that I think sounds at least much more clear if not better.
