**8-15, my colab partner Mark commented privately that the mando could be a bit wider and moister, so I tweaked it and uploaded remix1. **Also, per Robert's recommendation, I went back and eq'ed the LV some and put an exciter on them, and a transient shaper.
---------------------------
**8/16 after an emergency maintenance call that went till 5:00 this AM, I slept in and since I've been tweaking the vocals pretty much all day. I think they sound better.
I think they're dialed in, but I rely on people who say "good start?" And others who give "even more input!" Thank you all ;-)
---------------------------
**8-17, dialed back the vox a bit... Some other changes, but it sounds pretty good to me? But hey! I give thanks to all who listen and comment :-) In the end? I'm working to impress the boy? If some of you like it as well? It makes me smile that much more :-)
**8-17, remix 4, pulled the room back a little per advice from Gus (thanks!)
--------------------------------------------
The boy will sing this ultimately? I've been working on it for a few weeks, tonight I took a quick stab at the LV? It's not edited, and may have a slightly raw quality? I'm hoping it's not like raw meat, that has sat out for too long...
I'm interested in comments on the mix. I'm trying to get mow betta at it...
https://soundcloud.com/rockinrobby/its-time-dragons-cover I'll get the boy next week, and he's going to sing it? So this is a "pre-post..." There's a lot going on here? The percussion... There's like heal clicks, box hits, block hits, claps, lots going on... And a lot going on with the drums, and synths. I'm playing with an ebow there at the end :-) A mandolin, lots going on throughout. The bottom is "huge..." Which is how I like um?
The vocal performance was "ad-hoc." But I'm doing all of the instruments, it was non-trivial... Again, there's a lot going on here. I'll post the boy doing it in another week or so. Oh, and I'm playin the fretless :-) I love that bass man... It's like butter.
