New video - Glad You Came - Cover

Pretty cool tune. Had a nice Tears for Fears kind of vibe to it. I liked the way the bass/drums propelled the song forward without sounding obnoxious. The mix sounded great to me. I've never heard the tune but I mostly just listen to Eva Cassidy and Joan Osborne these days.

I use to have all those instruments also. Traded it all in (years ago) for just a synth.
You do a excellent job on all of it, so it sounded fine to me.

The mix - mmmmmmmmmmm...............for some reason I still like a bit more bass though.

Now: can you play all those instruments at once?? (just some humor!)

Fine job there!

Nice Job Chris, look forward to more from u.

Cheers for the comments.

James: There are two distinct vocal sounds in this. The intro and verse is straight down the middle and you're right there's a lot of reverb on it. In fact, at the beginning, there is a reversed reverb on the vocal. In the pre-chorus/chorus sections, the vocal is doubled and panned hard left and right, which probably emphasises the verses being dead centre.
The idea was intentional, to give a bit of development, I suppose it's a matter of taste.

The snare thing, is a strange one for me. I'm never happy with the snare sound I get at the moment, however, there is a LOT of bass drum in comparison. My thinking was that, although it's a 'rock' version of the song, I didn't want to stray too far from the 'dance/pop' roots so I pushed the kick right up there, I suppose the snare suffered but as I say, I'm not massively happy with my snare sounds at the moment. It seems your crits are aligning with the hesitations I have with this mix.

I think performing for the camera is what I'm probably worst at. I've always been kind of uncomfortable in front of it. Maybe it's time to take a couple of acting classes!!

Again (this goes for everyone) thanks you so much for taking the time to listen and respond to the video. I find this forum really insightful everytime I post a mix/video. So thank you all very much for that!!

Cheers,
Chris

Love it. Always have liked your vids, I like doing that kind of stuff myself, but I havent come near this type of production yet.

Bravo Chris.

Once again KUDOS!  I'm not a big fan on the song choice but performance is excellent. My only nit, lead vocals could come forward a smidge in the mix.

Here's an original. I posted it a few months back on here :)
