Wookie- I appreciate the listen! Yes I totally agree it still isn't right. Thanks!
MGC59- Yep, I knew this is what I had to do after I listened to that second mix. You hit the nail on the head here.....there were several problems but the main problem was competing synth textures. Everyone is a little different in how they do things. In my case I usually try to hang on too long for fear of throwing out the entire mix I spent hours on. When something isn't working out after some time it's usually best to take it down to the basics and remix it. I am also learning that sometimes I need to spend just a bit more time on a mix before i make it public. I am sure glad we have a good community of people here willing to help someone out!Thanks for listening!
Dan- I think you probably had heard the most recent at the time. In that mix I simply changed a piano. In this mix I went back and reworked pretty much everything.Thanks for listening!
jude77- Wow...I had never considered doing that, thnaks so much for your comments!
John- I replied to your PM. Gotta give you kudos for effort to help . Noone has ever done that before for me. I appreciate your efforts!! I want to hear what you have done with that mix when I get to a place I can hear it....I removed a lot of the trash that Ozone simply isn't designed to do.. Thanks brother for being so totally helpful.
Warren- Thanks for listening! I removed that piano and added another one and i gave it some stereo spread. Hopefully things are better( I believe they are). The changes I made should have made things sit better together in the mix.
Herb-Thanks for listening! I can always count on your professional and honest appraisal of music and i trust it.I have made some changes to the midi. I played the part in a little too aggressivly, so I thinned the midi velocities back some and went with a different piano. See if it sounds a little better now.
