I didn't do a good job of thanking everyone individually, it doesn't mean I don't appreciate your input, I really do :-)
I've been mixing on this for a couple of weeks now and I think I have a final. The last one was close, this one has fatter drums, and some other envelopes. I think it's about as good as I can make it.
I am VERY interested in the art of mixing? Therefore, I really appreciate critical input. I try to give the same, but? Please keep in mind any advice I give may be flawed ;-)
Again, presented for your enjoyment, my son sings a song he picked out?
I did everything else and backed him on the vox. I really hope he stays interested in it? I mean, you know "it's my passion..." So I really hope he can follow in the footsteps and be musical. It's work as well all know? So you have to love it. This one took many weeks, and I'm sure could still be much better. What's important is that it's better now than it was? And for that, I give thanks to God and others here, thank you all sincerely.
I accuse people sometimes of having a song mixed by the bass player?
Well, "guilty?" I don't think the azz end is too much in your face (not that there's anything wrong with that?) But I'm sticking it out and shaking it... And the snare was weak, so it's fatter in this version. Again, I could (or we all could) make changes infinitely... My goal is to create something that doesn't suck? And if possible? "Pretty good..."
And finally? I like to b-"rhymes w/itch?" about drummers? But after doing my own drums for many years, I have the highest respect for drummers.. I used to make jokes about them? Now I understand just how important a good drummer is... They are "instrumental" in any good song. Drums are "critically important." I work so hard to make mine not suck. Guys who bang on those things "as their instrument?" Vs. someone like me who tries to emulate them? I have a lot of respect for those dudes...
