Nasty Dogs cover Remix 1,1
Hi folks, sorry I've been MIA had some PC issues and work is sucking the life from me. I've decided to do a few covers for the mixing practice. I used an old MIDI file I had for a long time for the bass and drums. Comments on the mix welcome. Nasty Dogs cover

Impressive performance. Vocals are outstanding. Mix is a little lifeless musically. I am having a hard time putting my finger on what exactly needs to be done, but there is something missing. I will get back to you if I can articulate it well enough to make sense.

Big thanks Robby; I also owe you thanks for recommending that Fab filter Saturn a while ago. I tried the demo in the guitar buss and not much more. Oh yea I'm going to have to get that when I can. I let them know you referred me.
Big thanks Scotty and Frank means a lot coming from you pros.
Big thanks Dodsie
Big thanks Shad, if what you are hearing is what I'm hearing. The bass guitar doesn't have any attack to it. I did what I could with CAL scripts and Franks MIDI plugs and also tried to add life with a transient shaper and compressor. Still not what I was looking for. Fortunate for me I'll be getting Bapu in a box classic rock addition soon for this and a few others.

Hey Grant. Sorry for not replying sooner, left on a short holiday. I agree the problems I am hearing are in the lower end of the spectrum. I took a listen to the other songs posted to see if it was something about this one song, or if present in the others, and sadly it seems present in the others too. It might well be your listening environment that is causing the problems. The first thing I would look at was the EQ you are using on bass and drums. Its seems that the levels and plot used are adding (or making apparent) harmonic overtones above the fundamental which is adding an odd sort of ring to the bass. Then as you mentioned, taking a second look at the compression for ADSR.

Thanks again Shad, now that I'm certain that I will be replacing the bass file with a live track. I'm not planning on a remix until then.

Hi Grant.
I'm not familiar with the original, but i like this.
Excellent guitar playing and i like your tones.
The mix sounds good, but overall i kind of get the impression i'm listening to it from another room and it's lacking a bit of oomph and drive in the low registers.
Lots of potential here once the mix is sorted out.

Sprucely jamming, singing, and bass ... that gets the momentum across :) ... or moves the mountain aloft ... (something like that ...:):):) )

Thanks Blipp. Great to see you back, though I'm getting a real bass track for this I am a bit nervous that I can get that focus that is needed on the bass for this song. You and Shad's words are appreciated. I have ARC 2 so and I intend to try. Thanks again.
Thanks for stopping by Phillip. I can't say I fully understood that but thanks :)

I couldn't hear much bass on this -- just some rumblin'. Oh, I see, it's the banal...

A new mix up. Though I will be replacing the bass I figured it would be good practice to try to get the low end clarity and punch that is needed for this song. I found the ringing that I think Shad was talking about at 107. Shad I've been researching the ASDR envelope and I can kind of see a connection with compression. I'm not sure I fully get it yet. I used a dynamic EQ to filter the 107 ring by a threshold. If you have any links about ASDR and their relation to compression, that would be cool. Thanks again.

Thanks again Frank, I was worried about that too because my demo for Saturn has ran out and I had to compensate for that. Big thanks again.
