Jesse Screed Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 I have learned that when HS has a test mix I better listen You KILL it again and again I need a little bit more DR piano maybe just a tad to front things get a little more settled at 222 pull back the sax some anyway, this is killer, and you must be a bot therefore I have nothing to add, except that this is top shelf jut a bit hot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Parsons Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Very nice! Really enjoyed every bit of this tune. All of the parts are so tight and well-integrated. The arrangement and production are top drawer. The only thing missing is more information on who is playing what. ? Well done! Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THIS is a very well played, arranged, and cool piece. I am listening on jbl 308 in a large room with high cieling I have my monitors dialed in to listen at a specific volume I think the snare is a bit snappy the toms a little buried when they come in and some other stuff But HS, I am not one to tell you about your mix. This is one kick arzz piece and it doesn't matter what I think because I believe in the infinte variety of the soul, and this is cool my biggest problem is pretending to know what I'm talking about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddy j Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 I don't know diddly about mixing and therefore won't comment about that. What I listen for in a song is the effect I get when I hear it! This is doggone excellent. Every thing to these geriatric ears sound great. The playing is excellent, the arrangement is also. All of the instrumentation can be identified and heard and it is very tight. The song itself is well composed, really commands attention and keeps one's attention focused. The feeling when I heard it --- well, it rang Freddy's bell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noynekker Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Most impressive . . . FWIW, "test mix" is not such a good title, but I guess it's the teaser for the forthcoming attraction ? Sounds very much like a live jazz fusion band, but not sure how you recorded this one (live or dubbing ?) . . . I'm hearing a lot of talented players coming and going throughout. Well written, and I also like how it builds in intensity and volume as it goes . . . mix wise, I can only say, I did not want to adjust the volume, or reach for an EQ, it just sounds great as presented . . . now if we can just get a proper name for it . . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O.K...name changed, thanks for the feedback...this is another collab via the internet, I dug it out the other day while taking a break from writing, I did my tracks about 15 years ago & had a bass player add his. 5 years ago I replaced the midi drums & added sax. This has various problems & issues with the files themselves but I don't want to re-track anything. I like keeping close to the original or first takes, mistakes & all..Doing everything ITB it's easy to over polish the crap out of a tune with fx or too many tracks. My favorite comments are when listeners think it's a band playing together so I appreciate that. I'll take vibe over polish any day, sometimes I get neither! Thanks again for listening.

markno999 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Nice, like the song, performance, groove, mix, etc... It is quite amazing to me how you all play off each other even though this is an Internet collab. I wouldn't worry about polishing "mistakes." If they are there it is not anything obvious. Having looked at pro-mix multi-tracks over the years I am actually surprised the number of mistakes that exist when you solo instrument tracks or vocal performances. If you took away the collection of performance (groove, articulation, etc.) and mistakes (timing, bad note, noise bleed, etc) away it wouldn't be the same song. I guess that is why I don't listen to newer music that is perfected to the point of sterility:) Great work. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
