KSband Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 That was nice and relaxing, more mellow than usual, I like it. Very nice guitar tones. The fretless sounded cool on there. I just converted my cheap jazz to fretless and trying to get used to it, not easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garybrun Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Very nice... Loved the horns and guitar We all paint different pictures... I would like a warmer sound on the bass and a little more prominent.,,, butthen again it comes in more around 2.17 as you go up the register. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the master all I used was a high shelf eq & a b/w limiter. 3 hours ago, garybrun said: Very nice... Loved the horns and guitar We all paint different pictures...

Thanks Gary, fretless & upright basses are always a challenge, the bass he used on this has so much low information that I had to eq it quite a bit, warm but it sat even lower in the mix. I'll check it again & try adding more in to balance it out.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookiee Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Just the sort of thing to play to bring it down after all the funking jazz groove. Nice sounds OK here on the Adam's nice clean click on the sidestick with just right level of Kick not to much punch but nice solid beater sound. Sweeeeet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe its just the volume of the bass? This is a good trick if no one knows about it-. I'm questioning my room tuning now!! ?

Starise Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 @Hidden Symmetry Very nice relaxing track. So you played the guitars and bass? Was the horn added by someone else? I love how these collabs can sometimes come together. Nice work on the mix so far as I can tell on these earbuds. I'm not at home and listening from somewhere besides my studio. The earbuds I'm wearing miss a lot of low information and accentuate the high mids. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played guitars & the backing keys pads. The collabs were drums, bass, trumpet & piano..sometimes it's tricky making it sound like a band rather than flown in parts.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DON'T go by my mixes!!..when I'm in Florida for the winter this my studio, a 2 foot deep closet w/ inexpensive BX5a's & a water heater to boot! I've used that trick from time to time, usually works better with regular kick & typical elec, bass but I don't seem to get good results using it with upright or fret-less..great point though & I'll try it on this track. Thanks again Gary for your help & suggestions- very helpful. Edited January 27, 2021 by Hidden Symmetry 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Sprouse Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 super chill track. For some reason I it reminded me of clouds of marijuana smoke wafting over an audience. ;D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it the upper harmonics ringing out before because it was fretless. Edited January 28, 2021 by garybrun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
