freddy j Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Being a lover of the surf sound I love this song's sound. It has that surf sound with a bit of the Shadows sound. Well performed and the mix sound good to me. Nice one!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynn Wilson Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 I love the way you rearrange traditional songs for the guitar. You make them sound like they were written for you! This is a terrific song, and I only wish you turned the guitar up a db or two. Let it shine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhonoBrainer Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Having heard your excellent work for a while now, with great guitar work (love the whammy tremelo dips!) I think I'm noticing the bass. It seems to breathe in the mix a lot less than the other instruments. It might be so 2-D as to "narrow" the overall mix. How do you record the bass? I wonder if your interface is giving it enough depth of field, or if some compression could be backed off? I dunno. It's not an awful bass mix, I just think it could be improved. I assume your bass is mixed right down the center? Maybe I'm crazy but I think your awesome guitar, and even the drums, have more roomy life to them and mix width than the bass does. Maybe I'm giving you a starting point on a wild goose chase . . . sorry! I do like your style and the genre is always a good listen. cheers, -Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't have a bass guitar at the summer cottage. So I recorded a bass track with midikeyboard + iPad + garageband app. The mix I did with the Sonar. And yes, the bass is mixed very near to the center. I'm still learning to mix and my hearing has deteriorated a lot from my left ear, so mixing is hard for me these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Kirby Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 That's a cool song Makke - it sounds like surfer rock to me, and I enjoyed it quite a bit. I wish it were a bit longer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjornpdx Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Another excellent rautalanka version of a Finnish folk song. Melody almost sounds familiar but goes off in unexpected places here and there. Well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
