Reworked it with sax and remix. Let me know how the mix sounds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Sprouse Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Enjoyed your take on this genre. The piano part was played slightly stiff (viz improvisatory), the sax was looser. The harmonies dripped like honey. Good one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelJohn Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 o my gosh when the sax comes in! great vibe and mix- make more, will breeze along Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB01 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Agree with David - you can definitely hear the difference in feel between the piano and the sax - piano feels a little 'automated' to me. Loved the groove however and sax is a standout. Thanks for sharing Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark skinner Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Like everyone , I'm loving the sax (and the vibes) . I do think if you check your "lows" on the tracks , you'll find there's plenty of room for some high passing. I believe the song could sound cleaner pulling a little of the bottom end out. Especially for one pitched this low. I think it's mainly the rhythm guitar and bass. As far as the piano , I didn't listen to the first mix , but my first impressions were that it needed a little different EQ and try to tame the attack some . I'm not really sure of what I would do except maybe pull out some around 1K. and see if a different reverb would make it sit better in the mix. Anyway .. I Always appreciate the many suggestions I get when posting something , and I Really did like this song ! Enjoyed it .. mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSband Posted November 29, 2022 Author Share Posted November 29, 2022 Thanks for the thoughts Mark. I have felt the bass was kind of muddy and have played with EQ quite a bit but doesn't get much better. I think it might be my sloppy bass playing letting the notes ring out over each other. Hadn't really thought about the piano tone, I usually use it as is, it's Addictive keys grand, maybe there is a better grand out there, I'll take a look at the options in there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markno999 Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 KSband, Nice track, really shines when the sax comes in. Super relaxing track. 22 hours ago, KSband said: I have felt the bass was kind of muddy and have played with EQ quite a bit but doesn't get much better. I think it might be my sloppy bass playing letting the notes ring out over each other. Try a Transient Designer on the Bass to shorten up the sustain, give it a bit more punch and clarity. May be much easier correction than EQ'ing. Oxford Envolution would be a good option for this task. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy j Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 This song has definitely captured the Brazilian sound and the second try sounds much better. I agree with the above comments - the sax sounded absoflippinlutely great! I also appreciated your use of the vibraphone (sounded as good as the sax). Excellent work!

KSband Posted December 1, 2022 Author Share Posted December 1, 2022 Thanks freddy j,. markno999 not familiar with that plugin, looks interesting but not cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markno999 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Pricey but quite excellent. Just picked Envolution on sale for $108. Looks like Sonnox still has a sale going on their website at around $100USD. Any transient designer should work for the purpose described.
