Someday I Want To Fly

[michaelhanson]

I haven't been around a lot lately.  Many might remember me as MakeShift in the old Sonar days.  When Cakewalk went the way of BandLab, I just changed to my name (Hanson).  I had teamed up with several members here and we were writing and recording songs as a virtual band of songwriters, under the name Scandalous Grace.  We put out 4 full albums of material.  That band has kind of been disbanded, however...so I'm working on a solo project.  

I'm going back to songs that I wrote and recorded pre-SG and remixing and remastering; updating plug ins, the whole works. 

Here is the 1st that I've spit on an polished up a bit.  Let me know your thoughts.

New track update

Just as a matter of interest have you mono tested this, with the spread so wide it might be worth it.

This stereo mix seems to work well here, though it does appear there is quite a bit of background noise..

Hey Wookie, 

Thanks for listening, hope you've been doing well.

Good suggestion on listening in mono; no I have not checked that.  

Real bummer on the background noise you are hearing.  I thought I had done a better job masking the noise.  This is obviously a really old recording done in more primitive times.  Maybe 20 years ago in my early days of recording.  I ran this one past Beagle (Reece) before posting and he didn't mention it, so I thought I had done a better job of hiding the noise.  I guess I could investigate picking up RX 11 Elements or something and see if it can be cleaned up some more.  There is always the option of retracking where there is noise, depends on which tracks I guess.  I need some of the John Lennon AI cleaning software on this one.  🙃

The feedback that I receive from this forum has always been invaluable.  Thank you Wookie for pointing out the background noise in the recording.  

I was able to go into the Lead Vocal track and reduce much of the hiss.  Still a touch there, but much better I think.  Abbey Roads Chambers seemed to really be accentuating the hiss and pushing it forward in the track.  Moving to a different reverb plug in, seems to have helped that a lot.  If its still really noticeable, I guess it would take some repair software to clean up the track...or record a new vocal.
