Chris,
The guitar sounds fantastic...great job on this. Excellent clarity, and I like the way it's panned so wide...sounds great.

Re: Another NEW one - Acoustic stuff
 

Roy,
Thanks! It is incredibly mellow, but I was happy to use that rain part. May tweek it some as it comes across as noise in parts. Going to fade one section better too. It is really a mellow tune though. I may work on taking out the finger slides too. Screech owl in there!

All and all it was fun to track though. He gets off in a few parts but it kinda throws it some. The guitars were tracks with 4 mics per take. I then panned them 50/100 to the Right and -50/-100 to the Left. Sat the vocals right in the middle and added some layered reverbs on the parts. Very limited eq'ing at all. The vocals were compressed going in with the 1176, but I added a RComp to smotth it some... Took the 8 guitar tracks and bussed them all to a stereo AUX track and added a slight compression and a Waves Req6 with a tough of sheen. Nothng else. The vocals have the Focusrite EQ on it with some highs added. That and the LA-2A and that was all for EQ and Compression for the entire piece.

Verbs were from TRueVerb, and my outboard Lexicon PCM-90. Love that unit. Also have a slight 2 tap delay on the vocals, but VERY low in the mix.

Thanks for listening to the mellow tune! It was a nice change from the stuff last week.

Chris,
This is very cool, including your vocals...interesting piece...I like most everything going on, though I think it deserves a better loop than the kick/hat/snare thing right now. It may be that it's just too present in this mix, but I think something slightly different might serve the song better.....that said though, very creative and refreshing song. Thanks for letting me hear it.

Good energy there! Puts me straight up in my chair here at 7.14 am. Want any advice? Get a good manager.

Thanks Roy,

Not to blow my own trumpet but, I think I did well with this one. I never noticed the monotonous loop at first but now you point it out, its very apparent to me. The problem is, this tune doesnt sound right at any other tempo so what rythm would fit the song better? Do you think the same style playing, but perhaps a different pattern or more variation?

Is there a different rythm you think might suit this song better?

I was wondering if this would sound good recorded with a live kit. I'll get the drums programmed then try doing them live.

Thank you for taking the time to listen anyway, I must say I never look in this thread and am suprised anybody responded since I dont.

Hi Chris,
Here's what I'm hearing...
I think the loop you have is fine in places, but the song would feel better if the percussion 'straightens out' in the verses, for instance. Below are some simple examples of a straighter loop to try in the verses.....they're not perfect, but are similar in sound to what you're using. They're 140bpm(same as yours)...Choose one, and try it either alone or with your existing loop during the verses. Match them up as best you can to give it a fair listen.

Let me know how it goes...

140bpm

Heavy Stuff
 

Hey Everybody,

There are tons of great mixes to listen to in here, so I'm a little nervous about posting any stuff up, everybody's stuff sounds so good. But, I really want to hear some comments from all the good ears in here, so what the hey!! Oh yeah, I don't have any server space just yet (real close to having the website together though), but I noticed tempest18 had used "you send it" to post, so I'm going to try that out. Hopefully it works.

Anyway this band I actually finished a couple months ago, but they came in to re-work some things a couple of weeks ago (which also allowed me to change a couple of things that were bugging me), and here's the result. It's kind of heavy stuff so don't let it give you a heart attack!!! I'd love to hear any comments. Thanks!!!

p.s. Doc's already heard this one, but it's a little different now. He gave me some good advice on this one.

Re: Another NEW one - Acoustic stuff
 

Ahhhhhhh
huuuuuuuuhhh

Third,
Sounds like the band I have been working with for the past few months. Is that kick replaced? Guitars sound great and has a nice balance throughout. I will put it through the monitors at home later.

You posted this before? No? Or just mailed it to me? Sounded familiar...
