Whoa.. Nice job guys. Great drumming Danny. How the hell do you punch in drums while sitting on the throne?
I have images of lots of running and cymbals falling over and tripping over cables etc.....


I do think the drums are kind of lost in the mix (quiet). If'n it was me, I'd have em all up in yo face..

Thanks Tim... yeah, you're right...
I planned to do another mix last night, but Dave Adkins' mom died last night and it's been chaos around here...
I'm so glad you asked Danny that question, I was imagining the same thing...
 
Thanks Danny, for explaining your process... whatever you do... it works...

Well I'm with Philip on this I hate christmas music but the whole track is well exacuted.  Danny's drums are good, they are busy but they don't seem to get in the way of the arangement.  I can hear what Shad is talking about but I would go so far as to say it's a low mid problem.  The mix feels a little muddy.  Perhaps a bump at around 400hz on the master would fix this.

Nice though Peace Ben

I'm sorry, but that just doesn't make any sense to me... I might cut 400hz if it sounded muddy...
but to bump 400hz because it feels muddy ??? and frankly I could care less what you & Philip hate, or eshew...
 
I do appreciate you listening though...

Thanks Janet... I guess I could get a licence... but who would play it..? and how much would that cost.?

The questions of the ages.

I was listening to a Christmas Pandora station the other day and I swear someone was playing a piano solo that sounded quite a bit like one of mine.  Oh well....

Oh yea! Actually not a huge fan of that type either but man it was still enjoyable.

I wanted to say that Danny had overcooked the drums etc, but they all fitted so well and man is he good!

The intro is very captivating and the end laid back repetitive vocals I love.

Mix end, this sound top dollar on my lapper and compared to my mixes it doesnt "buzz" with that midrange that I really need to get a handle on.

Always a fan men,

Merry Xmas,

Cian
