FRESH AIR FINAL MIX

jamesyoyo
This is slightly better in terms of thinness, but now the bass line, which is cool and should really drive the song, is a soupy clunk of low notes. It also sounds like a less spacious use of the stereo field as well.
Soupy Clunk Ummm I will have to look into that maybe it was the bass instrument I switch or the EQ setting  I did in the bass track .
I'll have to check that out , I did center everything on all the drum settings .
When I listen to this song through my speakers the snare sounds centered , maybe you have some expensive speaker monitors .
This month I'm going to buy some power monitors for about $150.00 at SweetWater.
 
Anyway thanks for the listen , Blipp you did a nice job and I thankyou for your help but I think James is right its a bit on the thin side .
The piano track seemed somewhat bleached out after two or three listens  , wow blipp is never going to help me out again now .
 
 

The Haas effect is what the listener is experiencing with the delay. One way to get what you are going for is to do a 1.75k high-pass filter on the delay, so that the transients (the higher-end of the snare sound) are delays, while maintaining the snare right in the center. So this way you can get movement and liveliness without making the listener ping-pong back and forth on every snare hit. Also reduce the left delay hit a few db.
 
Thanks James for the listen and advice , I'll have to think this one out .

Hey james , i have one simple question ... i`m very confused is there supposed to be 2 drummers in this song ... i don`t understand how a snare roll in the center back can be going on while that constant snare beat on the left is playing at the same time. I hear what jamesyoyo is saying to about the delay on the snare it bounces all over the place .
You need to get some better placement for the instruments. Here`s my suggestions the piano needs to be moved left say 36% . The drum fills sound like a different set... i was sure you used AD try to get the drums the same ... totally get rid of that bass it clunks badly and muddys everything up... the strings need to be spread over the whole field if you use channel tools on the string an use the preset More Width that should help with some separation.
 
Good point I think I might delete everything I double which were all the instrument tracks.
I can see I'm running into problems by doing all of that, thanks for pointing that out.

If 'free" is not too much, I would take a look at it.
Sounds good I just returned from dinner at Burger King , I'll check that out if it free .
Are you using it ?

Sounds 1000 times better James.
 
Thanks , I'm just glad I didn't give up on it now I can move on to something else .
Back in 1996 I recorded some songs on my old four track recorder and still had those tapes, I thought it might be fun recreating all those songs using Project 5 so thats the plan for me for the next two weeks .

Thanks for the listen and great comments on the mix !

Sounds great here. Well done.
 
Thanks Shad , alot of work but it ended sounding much better.
Now when I work on my next song I'll know what not to do and what I can do to create a better Mix.

Thanks for the listen and comments!

Hey NR XL,
Nice One! Sounds Bang On! 
 
Thanks , I have been taking a break . This week-end I spend all day and night trying to get rid of the yearly clutter that was starting to take over .
A few more days of sorting through mail and trashing the unwanted junk I'll be in good shape , I should be able to breath and start on something new for next month without having to look at all that stuff that was cluttering up my life here at home where I create my music. 

Thanks for the listen , cheers !

Hi James, this techno song is good in its genre. On the mix side, maybe a cleaner sound could be achieved. Good job. We also live in Vancouver, Washington!
 
Thanks  IJenNeh , Thanks for the listen and advice your right it could be a bit cleaner .
Mixing and remastering is one area I need to work on , its nice to have someone who lives in your area .
I have lived here for about six years now and love it here , I was born and raised in Florida and decided to beat the heat by moving out here .
This is where I plan on staying the rest of my life , I love the weather and scenery .
 
Hey I just listened to your music  , like your style of music and I like what your doing with your music .
We all need some good in our lives , you and your band are doing a great job keeping God alive with your music .

Thanks again for dropping in to say hello , cheers!
