Pretty Pink Left Hook...rE miXed 12/31

This is another track, like the Bapu track ijust heard that has a great live sound to it. The only crit on the mix is that the bass seems  to boom on the occasional note, but maybe that's my small speakers.

The song is well up to your usual high standard and your vocals sound on fine form.

Good one Rick.

Not sure if it was your intention, but the Bass is just way too loud and drowns all of the other hard work out.  I've listened on three different sets of speakers and the bass is way too hot on all of them.  I think you can get a lot more punch with the rest of the tune if you can tame it.

Cool tune, really enjoyed

Wow!  Nicely done.  Such a sad song.  I think it needs a sax solo in between verses.

cool stuff Rick! 

I like the song but I think the mix is off. It's like there's too much compression and a low pass filter set to low. Everything sounds like it was recorded to hot as well.

I'll have to check it out on my monitors later. I don't think it's my hd280s though.

Great song. I like it!

I'm still finding the kick and bass a little overpowering, but other than that it's great!

I just discovered a fact probably super obvious to y'all....adding comp and or limiting at master is not a good idea. I've been doing it for months...i tried to just use my basic mix with a smidge of verb and soft limiting. The difference is much more clarity, freshness and energy although there is less polish.
 
Grant...............Hello, Thanks for the listen...I'm glad you came by.
 
Phil................I know good cans make a huge difference. Mine are not so hot. I'm always researching. what do you use? Thank you for the listen!
 
Vicente.............I would add a sax solo in between but it's not a real sax and i like to keep the virtual instruments to the bare minimum. Thank you for stopping by to listen!
 
Robby..............Merry Christmas to you and i'm making a note to steer clear of the angry swede. I remixed again...completely. Check out please. :)
 
Beagle..............Thank you Mr.Beag for popping in this busy holiday season. Merry Christmas.
 
Ed..................Glad you made it by for a listen! You're too kind to say such balderdash but it made my day anyway. Thank you!
 
Guitarpima............I did a remix and tried to fix the bass with less saturation and more simplicity. It may be too loud but I'll watch for comments...Thank you for the listen and help!
 
Frank...............Ho Ho Ho to you and a Merry one going your way. Thanks for the listen!
 
Matt.................I remixed...brought bass and kick down (may still be too loud but i think it was because of a saturation plug in i abused. Thank you for the listen and kind comments.
 
Glen...............Your notes are a huge help. I carved some space in the vocal range from the snare...moved it left a bit and removed lots of saturation and compression from mix. I appreciate your input. Thank you very much!

Another cool song from you.  :)  For some reason it's hard to pick out the words (to me anyway)...granted, I'm listening on less-than-stellar speakers.  But somehow I'd like to hear things spread out a bit more.  I was straining to hear that cool piano and even your vocals sometimes.  But don't ask me how to fix it.  :(

Really like the song.  :) 

Jeez..  Back again..
 
So rick, how many tracks do you have the background vocals on?  Is it just one or do you have a couple?  The reason I'm asking is that I think you might want to spread out the background vocals, or consider moving them further from the center.  It seems like they are covering up the main vocal, but they shouldn't be at the volume they are at. 
 
Did you bring up the Sax or is it just that I was listening louder?

Great stuff, Rick ... Well done!!!

Lightly intoxicating stuff ... like champaign dreams or such.

I was lost in the poetry but found in the vibe.

The layered vocs amaze me ... my ears listened deeply and extended widely to grasp them.

Of course your instrument selection was sweet, but I would have loved more of those bass saxes (near the outro)

Loved it when I first heard back in May, and I love the direction you took this.

Love this Rick, that's a great chorus. One of your catchiest tunes I think, but still enough quirkyness to make me smile. I like that cello a lot, but I might pull it back a bit under the vocals. Piano is sublime.

I wish my mixes could improve this much :-( 

You're pretty good at that whole "re-mix thing?" The mixing is my soft white underbelly... HAPPY NEW YEAR WRECKLESS!
