Glenn Stanton Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 (edited) Back in 2014-2015 timeframe i was a regular at the open mic held each Tuesday at the Backstage Hotel in Amsterdam. This was expected to be (mainly) original songs, and i was generally writing a new original each week to introduce there. So i set myself the task of creating a "pop" number... Our host (Max) spent the better part at the end of the night, whistling the tune ? so i figured i should record it... this is it's latest incarnation leveraging Kevin and Natalie in a duet. ? let me know your thoughts. instruments: -- drums (6 tracks) -- upright bass (1 track) -- grand piano (1 track) (rhythm & solo) -- acoustic guitar (1 track) -- electric piano (1 track) (tremolo chord intros) -- lead vocals (2 tracks) -- backing vocals (2 tracks) D Major, 112BPM Edited September 21, 2023 by Glenn Stanton adding song info 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bajan Blue Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Hi Glenn Good track - thought the duet vocals could go up a bit - apart from that enjoyed this Cool Nigel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn Stanton Posted September 22, 2023 Author Share Posted September 22, 2023 (edited) thanks! i just did some mix adjustments - vocals up 1db overall w/ Natalie up 3db on duet, and Kevin up 2db on the backing vox. i also found that i didn't like the "clipping" setting Ozone was doing on the master, and also the 1176 compressor on the vox parallel compressor buss -- it seemed harsher than i expected. so i swapped out the 1176 with the PIE compressor (which i think did the most to clear it up since its a transparent compressor) and turned off the clipping on the MIX output and only a slight amount on the MASTERING template. there are a couple of transients on the drum vibe ping-pong i need to go back and tweak but i like this version better now... thanks for the feedback!
