Reworking a few tunes

I have so many that need re-mixing, like "all of them that I did the mix on?" :-) 

I can hear you enjoying that Mando :-D It's a fun instrument isn't it? I love the mandolin...

I think I remember this tune? I do like this remix very much. It reminds me of one of my favorite bands "of all time" A bluegrass band called "The Seldom Scene" A group I've seen live probably 3 dozen times? This feels like one of their songs. 

I like it. If I could change anything, I would change the word memories to mamories? :-) (they light the corners of my mind?) Mix sounds great to me.

In fact? Here's the song (by the Seldom Scene) that it reminded me of;

Please note, this is high praise? At one point I had every one of their albums (20+) And I learned to play the violin/fiddle playing their music on my record player.

If I was in charge? If I were king of the Forrest?



I may pull the fiddle down a weence? And push the bass by an equal amount... And I may take some of the highs off of that snare? And I may pull the hats down just a bit? But "**DISCLAIMER**" Any mix advise I give may be hosed. I just call um the way I see um? Too many balls these days? Wish I could see more strikes.

So while my disclaimer stands? Remember this you must (in the words of Yoda...) Smarter than you the forum is?(Mmmm?) Wise are you to remember this...

The remix sounds good to me. Not much on country music, but this sounds really nice. Very nice playing all around.

Peace and blessings, John

Robby: Thanks... high praise indeed to be compared to Seldom Scene.... great bunch of musicians

Bobby: This mix may be loud but it's not compressed. See the screen shot of the wave. 

John: thanks for the listen

Frank: I had a listen again this morning and fixed a few nits with it. 

Fixes and tweeks:

I pulled the EQ down a bit on the high end of the drum track and lowered the overall level a few db.

I added some "EQ brightener" to the piano and then needed to pull it down a bit.  The piano BTW is the Cakewalk Sound center Concert Grand #1

I edited a few of the "I've" places with envelopes to loose the 3 spiky places and the wave looks better now.... 

Herb, you've done a super job on this song.  I use Jamstix, too, and I like the way you mixed it.  The performances are solid all the way around.  Well done!

Real nice song.

I love the slow but sure vibe.

The singing is very nice!

The harmonies you go with on the fiddle seem just right.

best regards,
mike

 Yea, real cool tune Herb, new vocal track is very nicely performed and captured. I really enjoy the other instruments you've added, mandolin and expressive fiddle sound sweet. I almost forgot you were the one to recommend Jamstix a few years back in the Guitar Tracks days. Still one of my favorite tools.

Beautiful song.. nice arrangement  and sounds.. 

Very nice remix. The only thing that stands out to me is that the piano does not sound like it is in the same room as everything else. Might just be me though...

Regards,
Dan

Schweeeeeeet!

Nice (updated) track, Herb! Mix, Composition and Arrangement were well done! Add me to the: "Likes the Mandolin part" as well!

Herb - you sound like Chris Christopherson on that one. That a really nice country tune - traditional country - not the new stuff. Great.
