Keith Wilby Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 I can't decide whether to call this Night or Flight Mission. It was originally "night" before I added the "out in the far blue yonder" line, which of course wouldn't be there at night ? Either way, I think it's pretty much completed now, other than that one word. Comments welcomed as always. Enjoy ? NightMission01.mp3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookiee Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Sorry @Keith Wilby way to loud, +0.6 dB see the attached Youlean loudness analysis that red line across the top is clipping. Sorry miss spelt your name on the top my furry apologies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeringAmps Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 (edited) I'm not hearing the distortion, but clearly there are some overs in the Youlean analysis. Like the tune, so ?'s on that! Just a word about mp3 conversion, I find I have to keep the Master at -1dB or I get overs on the conversion (or direct export). I always bring the exported mp3 back in the project and confirm I don't have any overs. YMMV t I can confirm that Izotope Insight agrees with the Youlean analysis. As far as crits, I covered that when you put the tune up originally; solid tune. ? Would I mix it differently, yup; would it be "better", nope...

Keith Wilby Posted August 21, 2020 Author Share Posted August 21, 2020 Thanks for the responses guys. My apologies, this isn't meant to be a completed master, just a completed song/mix. mp3 just seemed a convenient way of sharing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to hear it but you need to reduce some level in your mix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitflipper Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Love the tune, Keith. But yeh, gotta agree it's too loud. My ears are surely not golden these days, having been tarnished by too many decades on the stage, but even I can hear the distortion. Tom, I understand; you're a guitarist and tube devotee, so distortion is your native ecosphere. Tom does understand the math, though, and he's right about limiting for MP3 encoding. Mathematically speaking, you can only guarantee no overs in an MP3 by setting the hard limit to -3 dB. That's a little extreme, though, and -1 dB should soften the blow a lot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Wilby Posted August 23, 2020 Author Share Posted August 23, 2020 Sorry guys, is this any better?https://www.bandlab.com/wilbyforce/nightmission01-3384fa0c?revId=15a20995-47e5-ea11-af8c-501ac51fe1a1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daryl1968 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 nice tune/production Keith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitflipper Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Yeh, that's the ticket. I'm always delighted when a simple tweak makes a radical difference. The guitar tones are richer, lyrics more intelligible, drums punchier. Great job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
