this is a test mix of the song "Lost Dream" from the upcoming and updated album release "The Wild Animals"

i hope you enjoy it.
i'm looking for any mix suggestions, i think maybe the lead vox is too hot.
maybe only in the front end, not so much the 2nd half...

Fantastic Creative production !      Earbud listen so .. I won't even attempt to give any mix suggestions. Vox didn't seem to hot to me though.

I Really like the "depth" you got in this one.      I For Sure enjoyed it ..              mark

the main solo in the middle, that is my newly built custom tele with the Fralin pickups in it...

the solo tracks, it's just one long solo track, that i keep changing the pickup selector on at will, but landed on the P-92 for the entire solo, i thought it sounded SO good...

also, i used the Boss DD-200 in stereo, printed my effects in live time, and used the 'shimmer' effect.
but i mixed it down a bit on the pedal, so it would not be too obvious

there are a few spots, where you can hear the swell ring out,
but i was riding it on the volume knob to keep it from taking over...
i just recorded all the solos this past weekend.

hey mark!!

 

you are the only one who has listened, so i want to thank you for giving this one a chance...

 

yes, 'depth', i worked on that quite a bit...

the idea of a 'lost dream', i think it needs depth, to create that ambience, that volume of space...

there is only one reverb bus used,

and one long delay bus,

so everything that needed 'space', has a little bit of one or both.

except the drums,

they only have some room mics, no verbs added to any of the drum tracks.

 

 

for the guitar solos, i used my trusty Boss DD-200 with a 'shimmer' effect, so you hear this 'bloom' happen at the end of long sustained notes, almost sounds like a keyboard synth, but it's just the guitar.
