Song #1, Mix #2

"The Middle of nowhere, the centre of everywhere" interesting lyric.

All the classic Bat's guitar tones and licks, I like it. I think your right it has lost some of the punch I would expect from you.

raise the vocals.

--about the vocal levels,
i like em where they are,
but others have suggested to turn them up as well.
in my mind, certain kinds of vocals,
like ones that are telling a 'chronological' story,
should be front and center....
but this one, is more of a 'vibe' thing, where the wordplay is really meant to sound a certain way, rather than 'rhyme'...
so i've set the vox levels down a bit.
still playing with the approach of the vox mix
the vox mix,
is set back in the mix on purpose....
it's kinda like when you first listen to 'gimme shelter', and all you can make out is this kind of wailing melody, with a few words attached.
the closer you listen, it becomes very obvious what the lyric is,
and that's the point:
to draw a listener into the mix deeper, and not have the vocal sit on top as if it's a top 40 mix....
some folks, and i understand why this is,
just want to hear vocals.
clearly.
on top of everything else.
anyway, like i said, i'm going to keep playing with the levels,
there's got to be a compromise in there somewhere for me to find.

bapu
only about a db, IMO

ok, cool...
i'm tweaking on that in about............. one hour!
LOL
