"Spring Morning" - demo #9 of 10

[bats brew]

https://soundcloud.com/bats-brew/spring-morning-demo-eq

this is my 9th demo i've posted,
will move into final mix this weekend.

i really don't know how to categorize this one...
any ideas?

it's a melodic idea i've had for 20 years,
finally put it down on virtual tape.

love to get some feedback on the mix and balance of freq's.

Good song - and I liked the title "Spring Morning" because that describes the vibe of this - very cool.

I thought the mix sounded fine.

As I was listening to this at low volume, I was impressed with the wide stereo field that was so full and balanced.  Yet, I was reaching for the low end after a while though it certainly wasn't a distraction in any way.  The song itself is beautiful and has a spiritual quality to it that is very magnetic.  Congrats!

hey douglas! yep, imagine a cool, crisp, sunny early morning in spring...

that's kinda what i was going for.

i'm still tweaking the mix, trying to find the right balance between the acoustic rhythms and the electric rhythms.

i bring them up and down throughout at different times, to build and relax,

but didn't have it dialed in on this mix.

Very nice arrangement. Everything sounds great. Sounds like something one might hear on a Steve Morse album.

Nicely atmospheric tones Bats, will keep the furry lugs on the listen for the finalised version.

hi lynn! thanks for listening,

and glad you liked this one!

 

low volume, check....

i don't think i've done that with any of the  10 tunes, thanks for reminding me of due diligence!! heh

 

i think, if you crank this song up thru a full range system,

you will be shocked at how much low end there is in the mix.

i MAY have to put a plug, like MaxxBass, on the keyboard bus just to see if i can tweak up the feel of the low end for low volume listening.

 

 

 

truth be told:

 

i don't care if anyone EVER listens to my stuff at low volume!!

heheh, not how it was mixed.

steve morse, now THERE is a name to drop! heheh,

i've seen steve play live many many times, have always been a big fan since even before the 1st dregs album was released.

wouldn't call him an influence, but i love his music.

I've been a fan since his Dixie Dregs days. He's an inspiration to us all.

I listened to it a few days ago but I have obviously been tardy in responding to a number of the songs to which I have listened.  Since I posted a song tonight, I also caught up in my responses.
