noynekker Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 Gary . . . excellent mix, I've always loved the big band era music, and you've nailed it so well. Sounds just like you are actually there, live. 1
SUPAREELS Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 Great mix and no crits! BTW the studio's looking cool ? HNY mate Steve

mark skinner Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 I looked up and researched Eric Herje , hard to believe he's not an international singing star. Is he close to you in Norway ? ms
Hidden Symmetry Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 Love the Big Band recording vibe on the backing track & your vocals. Also like the twist on the lyrics. - great job! 1

We also had a love for singing and used to sing together. He lives about... 4.5 hrs from my house.

freddy j Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 I went through a phase where I was absolutely blotto about late 1930's -1940's big band music. Charlie Barnet 's cover of Ray Nobles' "Cherokee" was one of my favourites. This is an excellent representation/recreation of the sound of this era. The vocalist really captured the crooner style of the time. Your mix sounds excellent. The instruments are all clear and identifiable while still contributing to the overall sound. My attempts at mixing more than just a few instruments have resulted in something much less than barely adequate. Well done!! 1
Douglas Kirby Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 You mixed this well Gary - I think it sounds excellent. The older I get, the more I like big band music - thanks for posting. 1
bjornpdx Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 Gary,I just assumed this would be you singing since you did the White Christmas cover a while ago, which is sort of in the Big Band genre. Sounds like a really good mix to me and how could it not be considering your star ship studio? ? Much envy. 1

I'll give it ago. Also I love the studio too. My dream come true. Edited January 6, 2021 by garybrun
Starise Posted January 6, 2021 Posted January 6, 2021 She tried to kick me once but I ran faster than she did. So when are you submitting this for the top ten big band tunes? Nice! They would probably get a kick out of it! 1
