Eric Parsons Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Another well crafted, well played tune. -they always are. This one reminded me of some of the bands I followed in my youth. Well done! Minor comment - I think the bass sounds a little to antiseptic (for my tastes in this genre) Think: Gary Thain ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeyjx Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Always quality tunes @batsbrew ! Bass sounds a little low to me, and this one seems to need to be beefed up with a layer or two more IMO ...if you want the minimalist feel, then I retract my statement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minor comment - I think the bass sounds a little to antiseptic (for my tastes in this genre) Think: Gary Thain ? wow, gary thain name drop! don't hear that one very often, and i'm a fan! LOL yea, i wanted the bass to be skinnier on this one, because it's so fat on the other songs from this set... but i did play around with the bass tones some, since i posted this, i have two parallel bass tracks, summed together, and on ONE of them, i put a waves J37 tape saturation effect, and this both fattened and slightly distorted the tone a bit, and brought that track up a bit, which fills out the bass more. definitely NOT a Thain heavy bass track, but more in that direction. thanks for the ideas! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bass sounds a little low to me, and this one seems to need to be beefed up with a layer or two more IMO ...if you want the minimalist feel, then I retract my statement hey hockeyjx! thanks for listening and commenting yea, bass was too low, i'm working on that one. i have two tracks of bass, summed to mono, and one is clean and midrangy, the other is low... i've placed a tape emulator across the midrangy bass track, which has compressed it slightly, and overdriven it slightly, and when mixed with the other track, has fattened the bass up nicely and made it a bit more aggressive. that should 'beef' it up a bit like your suggesting. i don't want to add any more instrumentation, because i feel it's already busy enough, and i'm looking for skinnier mixes for this particular set of songs to go on a new album. but, if i didn't pan the rythm guitars hard left right, and brought them inwards a smidge, that changes the entire 'thickness' of the track, without quite as much separation... i'm on the fence about that move, because it's so clear right now... but THAT might make the mix seem more thick, without adding anything. food for thought, thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNX for the interest, eric. not sure when the album will be complete, i have two other projects going in parallel, so the album work just gets done in between breaks of the other projects. i have a target of 9 songs, i have 4 complete, and 2 in the works. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
