Kevin Walsh Posted Saturday at 06:32 AM Share Posted Saturday at 06:32 AM (edited) Here's a new one that I've been monkeying with for a while and I think it's ready for your input. I had a third verse written but I didn't want a five minute song, so two and some noodling about is what we get here. Thanks in advance for your input! Update: Mix 2 has been posted. Tried to clean up the vocals a bit but I may have diminished them somewhat. I added a 2db high shelf starting at 6k. I also bumped the gain on a couple of guitar parts that were inexplicably missing. Please give this new mix a listen and let me know if I'm getting there with it. Thank you! Update: I still feel like the track is pretty bass heavy and muddy here and there. I would love to have some advice on how to achieve a bit more clarity with the bassline and while keeping the heft the track has without bringing in all the mud that seems to come with it. sweet heart baby k walsh 9/10/2024 she came to me with eyes on fire and sunshine in her hair she said c'mon baby it's cool in here And you ain't going nowhere i couldn't find the words to tell her what she meant to me it's like she saw inside my head and just like that she set me free na na na na na-na na na oh that's the way i saw inside her house of tricks i felt her weave her spell i knew just how this story goes i new the ending well she lit me up she turned me out felt things i could not hide she took a part my heart of stone a diamond was inside you're so cool sweetheart baby you're so cruel sweetheart baby such a simple thing to try out of a the corner of my eye ooh you got a thing just a look and i was gone oh you got a thing going on na na na na na-na na na oh that's the way na na na na na-na na na oh that's the way na na na na na-na na na na na na na na-na na na you gotta groove sweet heart baby your so cruel sweet heart baby your so smooth sweet heart baby your so cool sweet heart baby yeah Edited Monday at 11:14 PM by Kevin Walsh 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alper Karamahmutoglu Posted Saturday at 03:40 PM Share Posted Saturday at 03:40 PM Hello Kevin, The song is very balanced and has cool tones, I loved the guitar sounds and their roles in the mix, I personally think there is only one thing that might be criticized; 6 Khz and above frequencies seem to be 1 or 2 db. louder than the whole mix. Thanks for sharing, congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Walsh Posted Saturday at 04:11 PM Author Share Posted Saturday at 04:11 PM (edited) Thanks Alper Karamahmutoglu for listening and for your feedback! Alas, my hearing impairment makes it hard to hear such things. I heavily depend on presets and machine learning tools like izotope's ozone to fill the gaps but it can be hit or miss. I will drop 6k+ by a a couple of db's and post a new mix. Thanks for lending me your ears! Edited Saturday at 04:13 PM by Kevin Walsh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB01 Posted Saturday at 05:38 PM Share Posted Saturday at 05:38 PM This is a great track - hooked me from the very first chord - you did a stellar job on this. Quit 'monkeying around' with it and put it on the done pile. Thumbs up for the lyrics too - I do like a well-crafted lyric. Great stuff. 👍 Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nice to hear you think it's done. I hear so much wrong with it it's hard to listen to and I want to keep tweaking it. Thanks for taking the time to listen and to comment.

MichaelJohn Posted Monday at 02:18 AM Share Posted Monday at 02:18 AM (edited) Classic guitar rock song, well crafted! I followed the lyrics- thanks for posting. "cool" and "cruel" makes the point of the song very well. Clever word rhyme. Pro guitar chops and solo work.

timboalogo Posted Monday at 09:53 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:53 PM This is an excellent piece of work, really enjoy the mix and the guitar sound you got going on this. The lead with the verb is such a great use of space. And I really like that you kept it under 5 minutes, wish I could do that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Walsh Posted Monday at 11:08 PM Author Share Posted Monday at 11:08 PM (edited) Thanks! I used two Valhalla DSP plugins for reverb and delay. Vintage Verb and Ultramassive delay. If you use them, be careful, they are mighty weapons. Thanks for listening and for posting your comments!
