Sometimes you just have to pull all the faders down and start again.
 
Better much better but when I look at it through SPAN there seems to be a general roll off down from 800Hz then the bottom end rolls off real steep at about 60 to 80Hz.  Which confirms for me that whilst there is a lovely slap to the kick, which is very present when I turned down to compose this, there is still no weight from the kick sits in that 70Hz region.

 
By 'eck them furry ears are well tuned mate
 
I just checked my drum bus and there's a High Pass on there, instead of the EQ curve that was loaded with the Pro Channel preset I started out with - I must have been buggering around at some stage and forget to switch it back after
 
Anyway, after I turned it off, I checked out the results in Span, and you were absolutely spot on Wook - I've now got a peak back at around 70Hz (this is taken off the master bus with the kick soloed):

Sorry my friend it is good and it is better but to my furry ears it is not quite a Carling.
 
(Though I suspect you may be either an IPA or a Newky Brown man)

 
LOL - if anything, it's you who deserves a pint mate
 
Here's the latest version with the kick adjusted: REMIX #3

Wookiee
PS the Kick has some nice weight now

Cheers mate, and thanks for spotting that!
 
 

Wookiee
Err is there something missing in this mix or do I need to adjust the vocal filters on my furry ears.

 
"Oh Bollocks" is a much overused phrase...
 
Off to unmute the Vocals Bus and mixdown again now Wook
 
 
And....... REMIX #3

 
Nuff said

Sounds good Steve. I listened at a low volume. It all cuts through real nice.
I still don't understand why it's gotta be so loud though. I think it's way louder than any commercial release. Which, actually in this day and age is quite the accomplishment. Which leads to,,,,,,,, How'd you do that? Hire Bapu?
And, BTW, you sound just like Bapu. Is this in Am?

To be honest, I'm not sure why it's that loud.
 
With the FX Bin in my master bus switched off, I was just getting the occasional peak hitting 0dB. The only effects I have in there are a little multiband compression (Sonitus Multiband - Vintage Soft Master setting), a touch of stereo expansion (BX Shredspread - set at 110%), and some brick wall limiting (PSP Vintage Warmer 2 - Mix Finalise 3 setting) as the last plug in the chain.
 
Here's the master bus with everything turned on, as you can see, there's plenty of room in there for it to breathe:

LOL! That's not me Tim, it's my old mate Sid Strummer. You'd know if it was me singing, believe me
 
Funny thing is, Ed gave me some tips on processing his vocals, and he actually said he sounded a bit like him!
 
Some of you guys have good ears

A brave cover of a lesser well-known track from what I consider to be their golden era of the early to mid 70's.
 
There was a cohesive synergy between Alan Lancaster who's bass-lines always seemed to have a lagging 'shuffle' feel to them, John Coghlan was super tight and nailed everything completely together with Rick Parfitt providing the foundation of the guitar wall with Rossi providing simple but effective melodies over the top.
 
I was there at one of the 'Piledriver' gigs I don't remember where but within a matter of seconds of them starting everyone was standing to their seats heaving to this relentless 'me neh, me nah, me neh, me nah' type rhythm.  Every seat in that house was destroyed within the time it took them to play the first track.  Not by malice or ill-intent either just the sheer force of a bunch of humanity being instantly whipped up into having a really good time.
 
They we're an unstoppable force during that time and you could not keep still once they got going.  They became more commercially succesful later on but for me by the time 'Rocking all over the World' came out they'd lost 2 thirds of that magic.
 
This cover reclaims something of that magic they themselves lost years ago, but I'd like to hear a little more cohesion between the component parts, this vocal is also good enough I think giving it some more prominence by use of EQ around the 1k and 3k areas will get it competing with the rest, it's a pretty quiet vocal on the orginal so again I think it's just a case of getting to gel tonally with the rest of the track a little more.
 
A great attempt though and the performances are cooking.
 
btw....noisy bugger!...

This rocks.  I know of the Status Quo, mainly from their hit song Pictures of Matchstick Men.... not much beyond that hit.
 
Sounds like you covered this well.

This post was "marked".

Como esta, how ju bean, buddy?  Nice to hear you rocking.  Everything sounded like it should for this tune.  IMHO!   I don't have any advice that would help you.  I liked it.

Steve - you guys are great - such great energy - instruments all played like pros and Sid has a killer voice. I love this.

I've only heard the latest version, but that sounds very good on my monitors.  The instruments are balanced and cutting through quite well, and the vocal sits atop them like it should.  This song rocks, and that's not smoke!

Hi Steve, didn't kow this one, thought you'd messed up the intro , listened to the original, you did good.; )
 
Rik

I love the old school guitar production!

Hi Steve , 
Oh Yeah, this song is sounding pretty kick A$$ ...
I'm guessing that I'm listening to the most recent mix ...
