bmarlowe Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Not bad but why is it mono? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailor55 Posted January 14 Author Share Posted January 14 Thanks for commenting and even more thanks for pointing this issue out. Although the tune was mixed in stereo it sounds quite mono because of three really dumb mistakes on my part (which have all been fixed with a new mix now uploaded). I was using a mono VU meter on the drum track (AD2) which I'd neglected to remove. That rendered the whole drum track as mono. One of rack effects in 'Guitar Rig 5' was set to mono, thus, the entire lead guitar track was rendered as mono. The CLA vocal effect was using the 'mono/stereo' version rather than the 'stereo' version. Thus, the whole vocal track as rendered as mono. And there's the biggest reason to post things. One gets so hung up in composition that glaring production mistakes get overlooked. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSband Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 The mix sounds kind of crispy to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornpdx Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Good instrumental performance, clear lyrics and good story. I found the machine gun drum hits a little distracting, but probably just me. -Bjorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treesha Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Really well done. The mix sounds clean and good. I especially enjoy the guitar playing and the backing vocals when they come in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailor55 Posted January 17 Author Share Posted January 17 Thanks for the great feed back everyone. KSband: I agree. A little crispy. I've tried to address that somewhat in the multi-band eq on the master bus. Bjorn: I also agree. Those toms really are (were) a bit over the top. I've now dialed them back some. treesha: Thanks so kindly. The lead guitar was played by a friend. I did the rest. Except, you can thank Melodyne for the background vocal bits. Cheers all... - Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn Wilson Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I love songs that tell a good story, and this is a good one! I like this mix, and the performances are very good. It gives me a little bit of a Dire Straits feel which I like very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
