Scott -Thanks for the comments. I am glad you like it, I feel like the mixes are getting better which is the whole purpose right? Thanks.
Janet - Thanks for that. Very much appreciated. Don't feel bad, you will probably be his favorite collab partner next week;)
Vicente - Thank you. I really enjoyed your recent dance post as well.. Good stuff.
Terry-Thanks. I have always been a huge Thin Lizzy fan too. Saw them back in '79 with Nazareth. Phenominal show.
Bob- Thank you
James-I am glad we hit the mark for you and that the performances were represented well with the mix. Appreciate it.
Mike-I got your point. I am not sure what happened. I believe SoundForge may have re-set peaks when I rendered down the .mp3 for SoundClick. I always export from Ozone at -.03 just to be safe. Looking at my 320Mbps version here, the peaks are at -.03 so my belief would be that SoundForge re-peaked the 128Mpbs mp3 that I did for SoundClick post. I appreciate you pointing that out. Thanks for the comment.
Frank-thanks for the listen. Yes, I know about the bends, I wanted to keep that solo section quasi-live sounding, and, V-Vocal is not working for me in Sonar X2 so I just left them alone. Great question about why covers....Ultimately, I hope to post some originals, however, I want them to be represented in the best possible light. Therefore, I have been focusing on developing my mixing and production skills with songs that I already know or that I feel will contribute to some new skill that I have not yet crafted. At some point when I am comfortable that my mixes, performances and production skills are up to speed, I will likely start working on recording some originals. I actually have a ton of originals dating back to around 1985.... More to come on that... Thx.
