SUPAREELS

Thanks mate I wrote this years ago when I had a voice .. LOL.

https://www.bandlab.com/papergate/oh-lord-remix-733af961 Tried Band lab's mixing app ... loved it on this really old song so I thought I'd post.

Have to say Bjorn this is far to close to my heart. You have captured so much in your film ( The really cool car against a tent where people live homeless .. and no chance of the dream offered by b/s advertising, as one example ) This film/vid brought a tear ... hopeless and unachievable goals ... some deserve it others who work hard and fall without help don't ... you got it all. I have listened to your stuff through many years and you have always shown an eye for the love of this world and also it's failings .. well done old mate you got me and that's not easy, believe me ? Stay safe Steve

Sorry to be bitchin' but I come back to see if you've taken on the advice ... just as my ears were a little better .. and ... nuffing ..still bloody loud ! and there was so much good advice to help ... Ah well ........

Sweet bad sad .... oh and well played your getting better and better my friend ATB Steve

All of the above is good advise from seasoned songwriters. My thinking is to watch as much YouTube vids on mixing and mastering. It really is hard to get it somewhere near right and you'll sometimes end up doing the whole song again ... not a good experience but it makes for good knowledge which will allow you to get a sweet mix more times than not. Try taking out all processing and focus on each track making sure your master is also dry. The trick is not to rush it, take time to hear the difference and slowly tweak each track. Lastly it just sounds like your master bus was set too high for limiting giving you the result you got ... but I like the song so I feel it's worth the work ? Stay safe Steve

I'm sure my old ear drums will mend .. far too hot mate, I'm getting distortion ... sorry Steve

Great stuff, tight and interesting grove ...loved it! 10/10 Steve

As usual a great mix and provocative scenes ... well ... thought provoking. As a words guy I'd love to read these with the song unfolding but hey ho! Most probably chimkin2 has the right handle on it ... but still I'm glad you posted as I enjoyed it ? ALB Steve

Thankyou for the comments and advice David, it's a long way off but I will get there ... thanks again for listening ...ATB Steve

Better ... much better. I feel like the mix is a bit muddy now ( I am a fussy bugger, that much I do know ) .. maybe a bit of separation and a tweak on the mids .. OK .. tin hat time ..sounds like the wife's calling ?️ Stay loose mate .....and safe ATB Steve

Hello mate, yes I made it private as it's not finished and I was only interested in guys here on this site ... as they are more attuned to this kind of stuff. Big thanks for listening and the 'like' as it means a lot .... Stay well Steve

Great stuff David really makes sense of everything with the vid .. pulls it all together until I was left wondering if it depicted a break up or a make up ...hmmmm ? I'm wondering if that was the idea ... anyway Very artistic indeed ATB Steve

Bit of fun and I enjoyed the lyric .. oh and the finger picking was fine to my ears, have to agree with Jack here and ask why the drums ( if any ) are so low in the mix. ( was gonna grab the 'I don't know' line but Tom beat me to it!) All good though cause I like the grove ? ALB Steve

Cleaned up a few points as in comments ?

Nice job .. I see a sleazy little night club, a blue smokey view to your stage performance .... " Another bourbon waiter " .... Steve

Hello mate, The answer is no I didn't use the 12s it's a mix of two 6 acoustics with the addition of 2 tracks of a Les Paul (copy) and a beefed up Pacifica .. so not big buck guitars. However I wanted it as organic as possible so I used a Fender bass, quite pleased with the playing as I'm no guitar player ... the only synthetic bit was the strings, it's difficult to get an orchestra in here ?. In actual fact it was the words that really needed some work to get the message across and blend with the video but it did take a long time to get it right so I'm really glad you enjoyed it .. thanks ? Steve

Many thanks for your comments. Steve

The idea seems to be good although I think what is apparent is the vox is too low, something I will address on the final mix, thankyou for the feedback on this and taking the time to comment. Steve

Thankyou for the encouragement and comments as I have a lot of history in this project so I hope I can get it done and staged .. as for now ...it's back to reality as the boss wants me to put in a new Kitchen ! Life in the fast lane ?️

Hi David, I can't see frothy coffee .. but I can see a ballerina dancing to this as a movement and the clapping of hands as the curtain draws and she bows ... I just love this stuff, the pictures in my mind kinda make me feel happy I listened ? ATB Steve

Thanks for the comment Nigel, means a lot to hear that ... ATB Steve

Thanks Tom ... (still laughing ..my ears are nearly gone as well !) Always means a great deal when a comment is posted to YouTube ,,, so thanks for that. Sadly I crashed a hard drive and lost/corrupted data for this song ?. So the vox will have to do ..sorry mate. The lyrics have been posted on YouTube, so you can see the words .... if you wanted. All the best mate Steve

Thanks Lynn I remember your smashing comments when I posted the original, Hope the family are keeping well ... all the best mate and thankyou for your comments on both this one and the new project I'm working on ? All the best to you an' yours Steve

I've taken the comments on board and cleaned up a few points .. see what you think guys if you have the time Advance thanks All the best SM
