I'm sure this is a common problem with the aging boomer generation. I have severely compromised high-frequency hearing acquired in the military. Up until now my strategy has been to mix it as best as I can taking into account my hearing loss and then letting a lot of different people including people on this forum hear what I've done.
If I recall correctly sonarworks plugin has an algorithm that applies correction based on the average frequency degradation for a given age range, but I don't know if that will help you given the nature of your hearing loss.
I think what makes the most sense is knowing what frequencies are compromised and setting up a special EQ that compensates for them.
However you choose to deal with it, sitting on the porch hasn't been an option for me.
Thanks, that's exactly what I was after.
Those drums sound pretty freakin' real to me. Guitars sound great too.
I didn't know a Twin Reverb could be se on fairly low volume. Ha!
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!
