mark skinner Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 (edited) Hello , here's a new instrumental I'm finishing up. It's pretty sparce with drums , bass , stereo acoustic and electric guitar thru Bias FX2. I'm wondering about the low end in this and if you think there may be room for a few organ or piano fills in a few spots. Thanks for the listen , any crits or suggestions for improvement. mark https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=15117093 Edited October 1 by mark skinner remix 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeringAmps Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 Listening on cans in the office so reluctant to comment on the low end. Doing a little work on the video monitors in the studio or I would take the wav out to studio... As always, much enjoyed the listen. 👍's 👏 t 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJH Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 I listened in the studio and honestly I can't find anything to add. It sounds really good Mark. I love it. Great guitar playing! Well done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noynekker Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 Hi Mark, no "riff raff" here . . . another masterfully conceived groove ! It's mostly about the guitars in your mix. as it should be . . . but show the bass player some love . . . oh, wait, that may be you too ? That's just my way of saying, my personal preference is to hear more bottom of the bass guitar . . . even though it's more an upper funk bass, instead of a low driving rock / country bass. It's also possible, I'm just wanting to hear more lows in the kick drum ? I realize it's a delicate balance, and you don't want to mud up those great guitars, perhaps that's why you mixed it this way. 2 cents from Bruce 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperFreq Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 Tight guitar playing! Great song. Ever heard of a maestro named Stuart Adamson? Your acoustic work reminds me of that ("The Storm" acoustic version, "Shattered Cross", etc). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark skinner Posted October 2 Author Share Posted October 2 @DeeringAmps , Thanks Tom , I always appreciate the listen and your imput/ @PJH , Thanks Peter. Your Excptional work with melody lines inspires me . I have'nt found your secret for finding them though. I muted some tracks and hunted for some basic melody fills using a piano. It feels more complete to me now . Thanks .. ms @noynekker , Thanks Bruce , I've done a remix and put some bottom end back in. This one really gave me problems after boosting the levels. It kept thinning out and enhancing the reverb levels. I had to really pay attention to the mix before I started mastering. I Really appreciate the suggestion. 👍 @SuperFreq , Thank You for the listen and comment. No I havn't heard of Stuart Adamson. I will for sure look him up. The link now reflects a remix with added piano. I'll probably play around with it some more untill I'm satisfied. I'm not much of a piano player , but it felt pretty easy and I Really enjoyed doing it. Thanks .. mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T Boog Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 Outstanding Mark. The groove is super funky and the drop D vibe acoustic makes it sound down & dirty. It kinda reminds me of Days of the New. Which is a big compliment coming from me cause f**king love Days of the New 😁 Well done 👏 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
