Gordon Lightfoot Edmund Fitzgerald Tribute 10/20

Working on this trying to fight my way around a few Audio Snap bugs and an issue with setting prefader gains compared to what Sonar is actually registering.

Anythoughts on the mix itself?

I performed all drums, Acoustic and Electric guitars and the bass
Vocals are Mr Lightfoot 
Radio transmissions and Newscast are actual recordings

Thanks for thoughts on the mix in advance

Mike, I like this from beginning to end.  The mix sounds very good on my speakers, and the overall song is an excellent tribute of one of my favorite songs of the past.  The radio transmissions and newscast are a nice touch.  How did you manage to get the vocal?  Anyway, you just get better and better.

cool song.

Nice job on the music and the vocals are good. I'd bring the vocals up a bit, by a few db.... the radio broadcast is fine and a nice touch. 

 The bass seems to be a bit boomy on these speakers too. The drums don't stand out like they should.

Thanks for the comments

I did go back and do some changes on the mix as noted above

Somehow I hid one of my sliders in CV so I had to go back to TV and adjust from there
Brought Bass and Newscast Down a tad, brought up the vocals.

I uploaded it to Reverb until I get a chance to add it back onto SoundCloud.

Anyone know how to unhide a track in CV?  LOL Dont know how it happened, all I did intentionally was the Metronome.

Thanks Bob
Ill give that a try on filtering the Bass.  I have 8" monitors but I think I need a sub to hear the lows better LOL Appreciate the advise

Wookie hooked me up on the hidden track thing, X1 I think it was H and then check the box marked something about Sync.

Thanks Geno!!!

I did do some more playing with the mix.

Its getting there slowly, all part of my slow learning LOL

that was great! -Shawn

People don't realize how big this thing was...

729 feet long. Went down with all hands in a gale. Probably split in two.

I think this will benefit from some snap treatment, there are definite timing anomalies on your acoustic. Sounds good though. 

Hey Mike, sorry I haven't got around to listening to this until now.  I hadn't forgotton though and thank you for your message the other week, it's nice to know I was missed.

Ok this is interesting, I don't know what you are trying to achieve.  It all sounds nice, although I would say it not the sort of sound I would aim for, the acoustic is a little clangy and I can hear the audio snap in places too.  Ok the voice has just come it, now I am likeing it more.  I know of Mr Lightfoot all though he does bring back bad memories of my mothers deadbeat husband.

Ok it sounds really good, although the clangy acoustic guitar is somewhat off puting and it doesn't seem to go anywhere, this would be my only complaint.

Nice work though.

Peace Ben

Thanks Janet

I love this song and was hoping to do it some sort of Justice with my limited ability  

I just updated it today but am unable to crank up my monitors to check it, not sure but I think the drums might be hitting a smidge hard  


I did do alot of adjusting on the HPF on the bass and the kick.  Kick has some wetness to it I believe causing a little muddyness.  Not sure
