Nio Sebez Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 (edited) Hello friends, today I bring a song that is almost finished, it only needs a guitar solo and some other final adjustments. I have not been able to improve the girl's voice (a bandmate at that time) since I have isolated it from a cassette recording from 1998. Let's see what you can tell me about the mastering or the sound in general. A hug Nio sebez I am attaching the digitized mp3 of the cassette where the demo was recorded in 1998, which I used to make the cover. Also a photo of that band. I am the guitarist Solo para mi-completa.mp3 Edited February 25 by Nio Sebez 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSband Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Sounds pretty good, the vocal is fine. I found the kick kind of distracting, don't love the sound of it and it might be too loud in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're both right about the kick, it sounds a lot and I'm going to touch that up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark skinner Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Nio , I like the energy and the timing changes in this. Guitar playing was Nice as well. If you could widen the mix a little without causing problems , I think it would improve the mix a little. Enjoyed it .. mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have changed the VST for the bass, and I have also modified some volumes and final mix. There is still a lot left to finish it. You can hear the update I uploaded. A cordial greeting..

mark skinner Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Nio , The mix sounds plenty wide enough now after this listen. What is sticking out to me in this mix is the high percussion instrument that comes in right about 1/2 way thru the song. It's pretty brittle , like you need to roll some highs off of it. It comes in again close to the ending and it's a little distracting on the my normal listening headphones. I also think the vocals could have a little more impact. They sound like they were recorded well , timing and pitch is spot on. The copy you have to work with may have been a little too compressed. I think now it's a reverb adjustment that could bring it to life. They sound a little flat without much depth. Maybe a more agressive reverb with a fairly long pre-delay would do it . ?? Sounds like you are willing to get this sounding as good as possible. I'm sure your former bandmates will appreciate it. mark 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
