Here is the second song in my upcoming compilation.  I want to thank you all for your help in FLYING ON NEW WINGS, and I hope you can bear with me again.  This song, SCRIMSHAW, was recorded on Sonar 7 in '08, but remixed and mastered in X2a just recently.  I posted it here last year before I remixed it, so some of you may remember it.  I incorporated many of your suggestions and added the console emulator on every track, which, I think, gives it more of a tape recorder sound, or more 3 dimensional.  What do you think?  The project is still open.

Last mix on 4/9 

It can be found here:http://www.soundclick.com/player/single_player.cfm?songid=11157018&q=hi&newref=1
I hope you enjoy it.  Cheers 

 

   

The snare might work better with a tighter groove if you ditched some of the room on it. Also, the hats on the right side is a bit different; I would do a eq dip at 4k to take some of the biting edge off.

Vocals need a bit more sparkle and a ton more compression, as I strained to hear you against everything else.

Other than that, I loved everything about it, Lynn. 

I also have a oval scrimshaw on my wallet that my wife bought for me on our last trip to Martha's Vineyard!

WOW!  What a great production!  Your vocals are excellent.  I like the guitar tones and other instrumentation.  Nice groove.  James makes some good points - maybe you made an adjustment since his comments?  The vocals sound well mixed to me now.

Another great, original track Lynn, you're on a roll lately. I just realized who your voice reminds me of a little - Jack Bruce.

Listening through headphones the mix seems just a little right-biased, due to that thick, heavy guitar. I like the tone though.

Hi Lynn,
Nice mix.  I agree with James on his comments about drums.  Lead voc seems OK in level.  Sometimes I feel the lead vocal is rushing the track a tad - might just be me.  
I really like the bass.

Hi Lynn,

Cool song and great, creative production/mix. I like the guitar tone/part but I do agree with James that it makes the overall mix a little right-heavy.

Very nice, as always.

Cool stuff Lynn , I like the sound of this one its one I would buy for sure !

You illuminate a question I have been pondering. What do we call song collections in these digital iTunes days? CD's are really kinda dead, record does not work, even though more and more music is being released on vinyl again. Album works, but it still carries a bit of an LP overtone... compilation... is a good compromise I think. Good work Lynn. Solid production.

This is really nice. Everything sounds great!

I use the console emulator as well. I tend to like the 3rd button on the top right, put the big knob to about the 2:15 position and puch that button that makes that little light go on for the tracks and busses.

My body hurts from moving tons of snow so ciritical listening is out for now. I thouroughly enjoyed the tunage!!!

Lynn - man there is a lot to listen to here - very cool. I love your vocals - nice and gritty but clean at the same time. I love this.
