The Moon In Her Eyes - seventh and final (?) mix - 9/12/13

Hi Lynn. It's a nice song. Almost has a Caribbean feel to it. Sounds like a good mix. It might just be me, but I'm hearing some phase issues in the vocals between 2:30 and 2:40. I like the song though. Nice job!

Nice song here Lynn. Keeps you wiggling in your chair and bobbing your head. Nice sound and mix. Good job on the vocals. Lots of great textures happing throughout. Like it.
 
Peace and Blessings, John

Lynn,
 
Cool song, quite enjoyable.   I feel like it is lacking a bit on the bottom end though.   The percussion maybe high-passed a bit too high or something?   I like your production on this track quite a bit.  Very good.

Regards

This is a lively tune... I think if I were going to change anything, it would be the addition of a bridge, or middle eight, with less busy bass & synth... something to break it up, and add some interesting contrast... I'd also like to hear a little more lows on the kick...
Very cool lyrics and your distinctive singing make this very appealing... Great work Lynn...     

Hello Lynn
All i can say is
LIKE IT!!!
 
 
 
 
 

Hi Lynn, nice song, excellent lead guitar. The beginning is a bit surprising, seems to start from nowhere. Maybe some percussion as an intro would be nice.

The original mix is much cleaner... I do like the heavier kick in the new mix, but the overall sounds  too hot, and I'm hearing some disistortion...

Love songs make up the vast majority of the best music ever written. I've even been known to pen one or two? But I have a few that go in the other direction too :-(
 
In the beginning                                       In the end
"Love Song"                            "Eat things and don't exist anymore*"
 
It's a cycle which thankfully has broken. That is.... "IF" you'll wear a necktie in the garden at midnight?

Hi Lynn!
 
Nice song and I like your vocals. Instrumentation is quite nice. I only listened to the second mix and, I too hear distortion. It isn't in the vocals though, so I'm wondering if it is in your mix?
 
Needs a bit more low end to get that beat going! I'd like to hear the bass and kick more. Not too much more bass, but the kick is missing.
 
Regards,
Dan
 
 

Edited: listened again this morning with fresh ears ...
Much better on the too-hot levels... Snare could be mixed up slightly...
Crash Cymbal seems over used (too repetitive), and is decaying too quick... blend in a couple different, good sounding crash samples, and use sparingly... Just my take... Very cool tune...
 

Crash sounds better... I do agree with Rik about the abrupt beginning... Try copying a quick drum fill from somewhere later in the song, and paste it in at the beginning... I think that would help a lot...
BTW, I've caught myself singing this tune to myself a few times lately...

Hey Lynn,
 
 The second mix is a real improvement in clarity here on my end. I commend you for wading out into new waters with mix techniques. Whatever you're doing it works well. I can tell you put real feeling into the song. As always your vocals are very good. I like your guitar additions too.
 
 Hope you can make it back here on a more regular basis.

@Starise - Thanks, Tim, for the kind words.  I hope to be back here more often once I take care of some personal business.  I'm glad you like the mix which is partially due to the Focusrite VRM box that I purchased a few months ago.
 
@ Geno - Thanks for taking the time to listen and respond.  I'm a big fan of yours, and your words carry a lot of weight with me.  I did remix this with your suggestions in mind and posted it today.  It can be found here:http://www.soundclick.com/player/single_player.cfm?q=hi&songID=12439692, or in the first post.  BTW, I love your instrumental that you have up, and I'll respond to it later when I have more time.
 
To all newcomers to this forum, this is the kind of help that one can expect from here.  So many golden ears and so much good advice!

fantastic panning
now it sounds much better
it has more atmosphere now.
when i listened to the first version the instruments were seperated but now they are flowing together.
Lynn once again you are a great Artist
even a hip hop head like me listens to your MUSIC ;-)
 

I was talking to a woman who once recounted how much she enjoyed the moon through her eyes, and I have to say with some immodest pride? It was after "an episode" where I was on shameless display on the hotel balcony with her gazing up from the boardwalk below... (it was a warm night and I thought the room lights were dim enough?)
