Bapu, you said: For me there was certain lack of sheen to the mixes.
 
I'm curious...  How would you go about adding "sheen"?
 
Thanks.

rebel007...  Yes, the bass may be a little light on these mixes. I always find it a challenge to find the "right" amount of bass.  I monitor in several different locations (including my car) and try to find an acceptable happy medium.  Also, with less bass, I'm able to boost the apparent volume of the tracks without clipping.  The Loudness Wars creeping in!   Thanks for the input.  I will take this into consideration on future mixes.

Congratulations.
 
I've listened to the first track. The mix seems general fine to me. I'd agree that the bass could do with being a little increased. I'd also suggest slightly turning down, or reducing the treble a bit, on the shaker in the chorus.

Mix sounds pretty good to me? I may pull some highs out of that harp.

Hi Dave,
 
I've listened to Sun shinin down on me, and it sounds almost done. The only thing that is missing is "bring UP the horns"!
You might not remember..., but I did record 95 % of the horns on this track for you (and added some bits to the arrangement) - on quite a few different horns.
It's supercool that you use my recordings from back then, but a "thank you, my hornblowing friend from up north" would be nice and honest.

Apologies to you!
 
It had been such a long time since I worked on this project, I unfortunately misplaced your name and contact info.  I searched old threads on the forum here, but came up with nothing.
 
So...  A belated THANK YOU for helping out on this track.  It would be a mere shadow of itself without your contributions.
 
Thanks, and again my apologies!
