Michael Fogarty Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Specifically the tones. Is the bass too warm? Should I cut more lows? Etc. Or is it ok. Specific frequencies and db appreciated. Since only 3 instruments I left it warm but too much? https://drive.google.com/file/d/12cEVCk_8hVXRPezwOkVqja8KFrWWV3wi/view?usp=sharing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did enjoy the listen and it seemed balanced here on the DT-990's. And I find them to be pretty "honest" cans; so there's that... HTH, t and you left me "hanging" waiting for that final "resolution" on the last note (that never came); well done on that!

I have multiple sets of monitors but only one medium quality set of AKG cans. I’ll check them out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark skinner Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Michael , I Really liked the walking bass , it sounded Great. I did think the piano could be a little brighter and less quantized. Overall Very good composition . Enjoyed it .. mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookiee Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Michael I have had a little play with this in Soundforge 15 using Cakewalks LP EQ to me it benefits from a little lift in the 2k to 3K. As SPAN reveal quite a dip in that region. I did enjoy the composition and overall vibe of the track. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use DT770's (closed back) in the studio when tracking someone else, (my CR and Vocal booth are not "isolated" from each other) they have the Sony (can't remember the model) cans with the retro fitted "cuffs" that look like the ones worn at the airport. Total isolation, no backing track gets into the vocal or instrument mics... t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She will be flattered you said less quantized. Guess her timing is pretty good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark skinner Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 (edited) Yeah , I thought for sure it was an E piano. I guess I missed "harp" in the main thread title. Even more impressive now. I've never known a Real harp player. Maybe the EQ boost on the harp Wookie mentioned would help. She's a human metronome .. mark Edited August 16, 2021 by mark skinner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Sprouse Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 What a great song. Loved the walking bass. The harp sounded slightly out of tune after her improvising. Maybe it's just me. I know harps are very sensitive to humidity etc. Keep it coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bajan Blue Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 The only thing i would say is perhaps Wookies idea of a little lift in the 2/3k region might just improve the mix a little - otherwise all good Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
